Google is exploring the possibility of helping to finance a possible
deal by others to acquire Internet search company Yahoo, according to a
report published by the Wall Street Journal on Saturday. Google Inc. has
talked to at least two-private equity firms about potentially assisting
them to finance a deal to buy Yahoo Inc.'s core business, according to
the story, which cited a person familiar with the matter, and did not
identify the source.
"The
Journal said Google and prospective partners have held early-stage
discussions, but haven't assembled a formal proposal. The source said
Google may not end up pursuing a bid. A spokeswoman for Mountain View,
California-based Google declined to comment to The Associated Press. A
spokeswoman for Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo said the company
doesn't comment "on rumor or speculation."
