Yahoo is now 'Altaba', CEO Marissa Mayer stepping down

Himanshu 10 January 2017

If you recall, last year, Verizon agreed to acquire Internet giant Yahoo in a deal worth around $5 billion. While that deal seems to be moving forward, the remainder of Yahoo (the company's 15% stake in Alibaba and 35.5% stake in Yahoo Japan) which wasn't sold is being renamed 'Altaba'.

This was revealed in a filing by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

While there's no official confirmation on this, reports say Mayer may get a role in Yahoo’s integration at Verizon.
