Yahoo Japan in Talks for Buybacks

Story first appeared on Yahoo News.

Yahoo Japan Corp's talks with key shareholder Yahoo Inc for a share buyback have ended with no agreement, but the companies left open the possibility of further negotiations, Yahoo Japan's chief financial officer said on Tuesday.  They stated that they want to positively consider resuming negotiations if the conditions are right.

Yahoo Inc's chief executive said last week the plan to sell its stake in Yahoo Japan has been plagued by a "valuation gap" that the parties have failed to bridge.

Yahoo Inc, under pressure to free up cash for shareholders and simplify its ownership structure, has been looking for more than a year to monetize its stake in Yahoo Japan, which was formed as a joint venture between the U.S. Internet pioneer and Japan's Softbank Corp in 1996.
