Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions
The Company entered into note hedge transactions with certain option counterparties (the “Option
Counterparties”) to reduce the potential dilution with respect to Yahoo’s common stock upon
conversion of the Notes or offset any cash payment the Company is required to make in excess of
the principal amount of converted Notes. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid
$206 million for the note hedge transactions. Separately, the Company also entered into privately
negotiated warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties giving them the right to purchase
common stock from the Company. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to
Yahoo’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of its common stock exceeds
the strike price of $71.24 per share of the warrants on or prior to the expiration date of the warrants.
The warrants begin to expire in March 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company
received $125 million in proceeds from the issuance of warrants. The note hedges and warrants are
not marked to market. The value of the note hedges and warrants were initially recorded in
stockholders’ equity and continue to be classified as stockholders’ equity.
