I would be lying to say I fully understand what yahoo has in IP, patents, etc. They tend to be vague on valuing their parts and pieces and unless we get a list.. There is the BABA shares.. AKA SPIN-CO which was another waste of time and expenses. This screwball Mayers really got one over on Yahoo.. After J.Wang could not right the ship they hired this WACK-A-DOODLE Mayer at great expense. I mean 'Hell if she worked at GOOGLE" type thinking..
When I heard Mayer's was hired I was shocked. First thought was how she talks. She is NOT overly bright.. She LUCKED-IN when she pretty much volunteered too work for free thus being #12 employee for GOOGLE only because... (fill this in yourself). Lets simple say that the Inside Tech world stories of her brilliance.. are NOT to be found. Anywhere. Now she has destroyed $2b in value buying crap companies. Thinking they would somehow reignite YAHOO. Yahoo died 5 years ago. It just didn't know it. Neither did the Board of Directors. AL GORE being one.. Didn't Gore say he INVENTED the internet? Gore is another Wackadoodle IMO.
$200 million severance pay? For a Wackadoodle. Wish we could claw back some of that..

If she stays on board for another year and a half, Marissa Mayer will make $365 million for five years of work at Yahoo.
That figure comes from Eric Jackson, a manager at hedge fund SpringOwl.
On Monday morning, Jackson sent a 99-page presentation to Yahoo's board of directors outlining his case for why Yahoo should drop Mayer as CEO and find new management.
Mayer's total compensation, if she stays for a full five years at Yahoo, will be $365 million, Jackson says in his presentation, citing SEC filings.
That's assuming that the company's stock at the end of those five years is at $40.34. The $365 million figure includes the one-time $14 million "make whole" award payment she will receive to compensate her for the stock she walked away from when she left Google.
The vast majority of her pay isn't tied to Yahoo's performance as a company — it's tied to Yahoo's stock price. Only about 3.3% of her projected $365 million compensation package is tied to Yahoo performance, and that's the company's annual target bonus of $2 million.
Mayer's total compensation, including cash and stock, increased 69% to $42 million in 2014, according to Yahoo's proxy statement filed on Wednesday. Mayer total compensation in 2013 was $24.9 million.
Mayer's base salary was the same in 2014 as the year before: $1 million. The increase in her total compensation was due to Yahoo's stock price, which has more than doubled since Mayer took the reins in the summer of 2012.
Mayer received stock awards in 2014 valued at roughly $11.8 million and option awards valued at $28.2 million.
With Yahoo's business languishing, and a new complex plan to spin the internet business into a separate company, there is increased speculation about how long Mayer will last in her role as CEO.
