Carl Icahn proxy fight to replace Yahoo's board will succeed

Carl Icahn has put forward a slate of alternate director candidates for Yahoo's board in his proxy fight against Yahoo.

"Facing a battle for its board, Yahoo on Thursday pushed back its annual meeting until the end of July and announced the resignation of a board member.

The annual meeting, during which the entire board is up for re-election, had been scheduled for July 3. Yahoo did not yet set a particular date for the annual meeting but said that it will be around the end of July."

This is a prediction that Carl Icahn's attempt to replace Yahoo's current board with those more friendly to a Microsoft merger will ultimately succeed.

In order to judge this prediction favorably, at least five of Mr. Icahn's proposed or preferred candidates must be voted in as members of Yahoo's board at the late-July shareholders meeting. Bets will close on July 23, 2008, and the prediction will be judged after the shareholder meeting has occurred, unless the currently unscheduled meeting happens earleir than the closing date.
