Yahoo to explore strategic alternatives alongside spin-off

Industry:    2016-02-03

Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) said on Tuesday it was exploring strategic alternatives in addition to the continued pursuit of the reverse spin-off of its Internet business. Yahoo said it would simplify its product portfolio and that it had begun to explore divesting non-strategic assets. The company also said it would cut about 15 percent of its workforce and close offices in five locations as it faces intense competition for ad dollars from Facebook Inc (FB.O) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google. Yahoo also reported fourth-quarter results on Tuesday.
