Verwaltungschef Roy Bostock, der das Telefonat geführt haben soll, sagt: "On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank Carol for her service to Yahoo! during a critical time of transition in the Company's history, and against a very challenging macro-economic backdrop. I would also like to express the Board's appreciation to Tim and thank him for accepting this important role. We have great confidence in his abilities and in those of the other executives who have been named to the Executive Leadership Council."

Bei den Anlegern kamen die Änderungen in der Führungsetage gut an: Die Yahoo-Papiere hatten gestern einen Zuwachs von sechs Prozent.
