雅虎公司將更名Altaba CEO梅耶爾離開董事會

Yahoo Inc said that it would rename itself Altaba Inc and Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer would step down from the board after the closing of its deal with Verizon Communications Inc.

雅虎公司近日表示將更名爲Altaba公司，在雅虎與威瑞森通訊公司的交易完成後，雅虎首席執行官瑪麗莎·梅耶爾將退出公司董事會。

Yahoo has a deal to sell its core internet business, which includes its digital advertising, email and media assets, to Verizon for $4.83 billion.

此前雅虎已與威瑞森達成交易協議，以48.3億美元出售其核心互聯網業務，包括數字廣告、電郵和媒體資產。

The terms of that deal could be amended - or the transaction may even be called off - after Yahoo last year disclosed two separate data breaches; one involving some 500 million customer accounts and the second involving over a billion.

在去年雅虎披露了兩次獨立的數據泄露事故之後，上述協議的條款可能會修訂，而且交易甚至可能取消。

Verizon executives have said that while they see a strong strategic fit with Yahoo, they are still investigating the data breaches.

威瑞森通訊公司的高管層曾表示，雖然他們認爲與雅虎在戰略上非常匹配，但仍在調查數據泄露問題。

Five other Yahoo directors would also resign after the deal closes, Yahoo said in a regulatory filing.

雅虎在一份提交給監管機構的文件中稱，交易完成後還有5名雅虎董事也將辭職。

The remaining directors will govern Altaba, a holding company whose primary assets will be a 15% stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group and 35.5% stake in Yahoo Japan.

其餘董事將管理Altaba，這家控股公司的主要資產將是中國電子商務公司阿里巴巴集團15%的股份和雅虎日本35.5%的股份。

The new company also named Eric Brandt chairman of the board, effective Jan. 9.

新公司還任命埃裏克·勃蘭特擔任董事長，自1月9日起生效。
