In a filing with the SEC on Friday, Yahoo says they spent $79 million in their efforts not to merge with Microsoft last year. They sure spent a ton of money on “outside advisers.” Maybe they should keep some of these folks around for the inevitable next takeover attempt.
Part of the $79 million bill was also attributed to hiring outside advisers for fighting off a proxy contest by activist shareholder Carl Icahn, who eventually settled with the company and received three seats on Yahoo's board.
