Loeb's Third Point Seeks Books and Records from Yahoo! (YHOO) Related to CEO Thompson

Dan Loeb's Third Point LLC started the process under Delaware law Monday to obtain the books and records relating to Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) CEO Scott Thompson and new Directors' vetting process.

The hedge fund sent Yahoo! a demand pursuant to Section 220(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law to inspect books and records relating to the hiring of CEO Scott Thompson, the appointment of Patti Hart to the Yahoo! Board, and the selection of Board Members Peter Liguori, John Hayes, Thomas McInerney, Maynard Webb, Jr., and Fred Amoroso.

Third Point believes that Yahoo! shareholders and employees will be best served if the Board accepts responsibility quickly for this latest debacle. If the Directors are truly interested in “working in a constructive manner with Third Point”, they should provide answers promptly. We believe that this internal investigation by this Board must not be conducted behind a veil of secrecy and shareholders deserve total transparency.
