Citing unidentified sources close to Microsoft, the WSJ reports that, with no feasible option offers for Yahoo&#8217;s business, augmenting the original $44.6 billion offer will now be equal to bidding against itself. In its place, the software giant&#8217;s plan is to remain tight and stay for Yahoo to end of practical options, after that it would agree to Microsoft&#8217;s initial offer.<\/p>\n<p>On January 31, Microsoft had offered Yahoo $31 a share for its industry, or about $44.6 billion at the time and that Yahoo stated &#8220;considerably undervalued&#8221; the company. However, as that preliminary offer was joined in part to Microsoft&#8217;s stock price, and Microsoft&#8217;s stock price had been refused over the last two months, the offer now is worth just about $29 per share, or a couple of billion dollars less, give or take.
