Performance Graph
This performance graph shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be
deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of Yahoo! under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
or the Exchange Act.
The following graph compares, for the five-year period ended December 31, 2008, the cumulative total
stockholder return for the Company’s common stock, the NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S. companies) Index (the
“NASDAQ Market Index”), the NASDAQ 100 Index (the “NASDAQ 100 Index”), the Standard & Poor’s North
American Technology-Internet Index, formerly the Goldman Sachs Internet Trading Index, (the “GIN”), and the
Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (the “S&P 500 Index”). The Company has added the NASDAQ 100 Index to
the graph because the Company is using total shareholder return as measured with reference to this index to
determine the vesting of certain performance based equity awards. We do not plan to include the NASDAQ
Market Index in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Measurement points
are the last trading day of each of the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, December 31,
2005, December 31, 2006, December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2008. The graph assumes that $100 was
invested on December 31, 2003 in the common stock of the Company, the NASDAQ Stock Market Index, the
NASDAQ 100 Index, the GIN, and the S&P 500 Index, assumes reinvestment of any dividends and is adjusted to
give effect to the Company’s May 11, 2004 stock split. The stock price performance on the following graph is
not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
