The higher bid came as Yahoo\u2019s board was holding a two-day meeting. Exact terms being discussed could not be learned, but according to the people involved in the talks, Microsoft suggested it was willing to pay more than $33 a share. Yahoo is still holding out for at least $37 a share, these people said. These people were not authorized to speak publicly because the negotiations were confidential.<\/p>\n
Spokesmen for Microsoft and Yahoo declined to comment.<\/p>\n
The renewed discussions would explain the silence from Microsoft this week after the passing of an April 26 deadline it had imposed on Yahoo to reach a negotiated merger. Microsoft had threatened to wage a proxy contest if Yahoo did not meet the deadline. A week has passed without any announcement from Microsoft about how it intends to proceed.<\/p>\n
Shares of Yahoo rallied Friday on news of the renewed talks, rising to $28.67, up $1.86, or nearly 7 percent. Microsoft shares dropped to $29.24, or half a percent.<\/p>\n
The main stumbling block has been a sharp disagreement over the value of Yahoo. Microsoft\u2019s initial stock-and-cash offer, made Jan. 31, was valued at $44.6 billion, or $31 a share. After the decline in Microsoft\u2019s share price, the offer was worth $29.40 a share on Friday.<\/p>\n
Yahoo repeatedly rejected Microsoft\u2019s bid, saying it substantially undervalued the company. But Jerry Yang<\/a>, the co-founder and chief executive, said he would not be opposed to a deal with Microsoft at a higher price.<\/p>\n
