卡尔伊坎 伊坎想接管雅虎

在与雅虎就收购交易进行谈判的过程中，微软可能已经放弃了谈判，但仅仅是因为他们已经中标，并不意味着收购谈判已经结束。亿万富翁投资者卡尔·伊坎（Carl Icahn）发起了一场代理权战争，以取代雅虎现任董事会的职务，并宣布了该公司的候补董事会。微软首席执行官史蒂夫·鲍尔默本人曾威胁到这一举动，但他最终放弃了这一战略。伊坎的代理战争是否会重新点燃微软对竞标的兴趣？

在伊坎（Icahn）提名雅虎董事会成员中，有马克库班（Mark Cuban），他以著名的身份将Broadcast.com卖给了雅虎，并用所得款项购买了达拉斯小牛队。

伊坎对雅虎拒绝微软的提议感到失望，因此决定将事情交到他自己手里。他在致雅虎董事长罗伊·波斯托克（Roy Bostock）的信中说，董事会拒绝出价是“不负责任的”，而且董事会“隐藏在管理层过于乐观的背后”。inancial forecasts.”

All current Yahoo board members are currently up for reelection. Icahn basically thinks they’re all irresponsible and nuts, and he’d like to get some more rational thinking folks in there instead.

The deadline for nominating a dissident slate of directors was Thursday. Besides Icahn himself, the lineup of dissident directors includes:

Lucian A. Bebchuck – law professor at Harvard University.

Frank J. Biondi Jr. – former CEO of Viacom and Universal Studios

John H. Chapple – President of Hawkeye Investments LLC, a private equity firm.

Mark Cuban – founder of broadcast.com & Dallas Maverick’s owner.

Adam Dell – Managing General Partner of Impact Venture Partners, a venture capital firm focused on information technology investments.

Keith A. Meister 卡尔伊坎– an exec at Icahn Enterprises.

Edward H. Meyer: CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Ocean Road Advisors, Inc., an investment management company.

Brian S. Posner 雅虎– CEO of equity firm ClearBridge Advisors

Robert K. Shaye – New Line Cinema的董事长兼首席执行官。

伊坎能否成功让他的候选人入座？时间只会证明一切，但是可以肯定的是，我们将要经历颠簸！
