Microsoft directors meet to sweeten Yahoo bid

Microsoft Corp's directors are meeting to consider raising the software maker's $41.9 billion (euro27 billion) bid for Yahoo Inc instead of pursuing a threatened hostile takeover attempt, according to a published report.

A decision could emerge after the meeting, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.

Microsoft also is weighing withdrawing its bid a move likely to cause a precipitous drop in Yahoo's stock, which has been bolstered by the 3-month-old takeover bid.

If Yahoo's stock deteriorated during the next few months, Microsoft could return with another bid that would be more difficult to turn down.

Investors have been eagerly awaiting word of Microsoft's next move since Yahoo let pass an April 26 deadline for accepting the offer More Details>>

Credit card rate hike from Halifax

The Halifax has recently contacted customers to inform them that their credit card interest rate is being hiked up, and in some cases credit card customers of the bank have seen huge rises in their interest rate. Many could end up paying around 5% more in interest on their credit cards, and this is despite the two recent base rate cuts applied by the Bank of England. The Halifax is one of a number of 0% credit card providers that seems to be passing on the cost of the credit crunch to customers through increased fees and rates.

Recently Egg caused outrage by withdrawing the credit card facilities of 161,000 customers, stating that the customers were a bad credit risk. However, it was revealed that many had never missed a repayment and had good credit, fuelling speculation that Egg had in fact withdrawn the facilities of those with good credit because they did not make enough profit from them. The higher borrowing costs for banks resulting from the global credit crunch also seem to have been passed on to the customer through raised fees and charges.

However, customers are being urged to contact the Halifax if they have been a customer with the bank for a fair amount of time, have not missed repayments on their credit card, and have a good credit history, as in some cases the bank may be able to reverse the interest rate hike and revert the card back to its original rate. One customer explained that the bank raised his card rate from 10.9% to 15.9% for no apparent reason, and having been with the Halifax for eight years and never missing a payment on his card he contacted the bank. After the phone call the Halifax agreed to drop his interest rate back down to 10.9%.

Microsoft Gives Yahoo Deadline on Offer

Microsoft set the clock ticking for Yahoo to accept its $41 billion buyout offer in a letter to the Internet pioneer's board Saturday, warning that if a deal wasn't reached by April 26 the software maker would launch a hostile takeover at a less attractive price.

"If we have not concluded an agreement within the next three weeks, we will be compelled to take our case directly to your shareholders, including the initiation of a proxy contest to elect an alternative slate of directors for the Yahoo board," wrote Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer.

"If we are forced to take an offer directly to your shareholders, that action will have an undesirable impact on the value of your company from our perspective which will be reflected in the terms of our proposal," he wrote.

A Yahoo spokeswoman declined to comment Saturday.

In the letter, Ballmer said Yahoo's search share and page views, two measures of the strength of the Web portal company's business, appear to have fallen since the offer was made at the end of January. At the time, Microsoft's cash-and-stock offer was valued at $44.6 billion, or 62 percent above Yahoo's market value. Judging by Friday's closing share prices, the deal is now worth just under $41 billion.

Yahoo's board formally rejected Microsoft Corp.'s bid in February, saying it undervalues the company.

Since then, the Silicon Valley company has explored alliances with Google Inc., News Corp.'s MySpace.com and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, but no alternative to Microsoft's offer has surfaced. More Details>>
