Software giant Microsoft has said it would be willing to again talk to Yahoo about a possible takeover if the search firm had a new board of directors.
Microsoft had offered to buy its rival's search business, but was rebuffed with Yahoo saying "it made no sense financially or strategically".
Since then, a number of investors have criticised Yahoo's decision.
They have called for changes to Yahoo's management, and have urged other shareholders to back a takeover.
Shareholder Carl Icahn is trying to oust Yahoo's board, including the Internet firm's co-founder and chief executive Jerry Yang.
