'...if there's boatloads of money,' says Carol Bartz
Yahoo's CEO said Wednesday she was open to discussing a Microsoft acquisition, provided the deal were sweet.
During an onstage interview at the All Things D conference in Carlsbad, California, Carol Bartz said she'd consider the right offer from Microsoft. "If there's boatloads of money and the right technology involved, we'd do a deal, sure," she was quoted as saying in the Wall Street Journal. "It's that simple."
Microsoft's February 2008 US$45 billion offer was priced at $31 per share and was later raised to $33. Yahoo shares [YHOO] closed Wednesday at $14.94.
