Jerry Yang (R), Co-Founder & CEO of Yahoo! Inc., waits to answer questions from students and the media on April 3, 2008 at Georgetown University's Healy Hall in Washington, DC. Yahoo said July 12, 2008 it has rejected a "ludicrous" deal with Microsoft orchestrated by corporate raider Carl Icahn, who is bent on overthrowing the struggling Internet search pioneer's board. Yahoo's said a "take it or leave it" proposal made by Icahn and Microsoft on July 11 called for a massive restructuring of the California firm and the sale of its online search business to the US software colossus. Microsoft and Icahn gave the Yahoo board less than 24 hours to decide on the offer, which was non-negotiable. The deal called for Yahoo's board to be immediately replaced by an Icahn-led slate and the removal of top Yahoo executives, with co-founder and chief executive Jerry Yang presumably heading the list.
