SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires the
Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10 percent of the Company’s common
stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership
of the Company’s common stock. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies
of such reports received or written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no other reports were
required, the Company believes that during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 all filing requirements
applicable to the Reporting Persons were timely met, except one Form 4 to report two transactions by Eric Hippeau
(the acquisition of 35,000 shares by option exercise and the sale of those shares) and the Forms 4 to report the
automatic annual option grants to certain of Yahoo!’s non-employee directors: Roy J. Bostock, Ronald W. Burkle,
Eric Hippeau, Vyomesh Joshi, Arthur H. Kern, Robert A. Kotick, Edward R. Kozel, and Gary L. Wilson. Such late
filings did not result in any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
