阿里巴巴董事长兼总裁马云,认为此次购买雅虎股份交易“开启了易趣和雅虎(美国搜索引擎公司)中国版本的新篇章”。目前，正处于交易的核心动作时期，阿里巴巴已经购回雅虎所持有的40%股份的一半，并将支付雅虎76亿美元现金。阿里巴巴公司保留购买雅虎公司拥有剩余股份的优先购买权，目前为23%左右。
Now this payment will come in 3 forms. Thefirst is cash, the second is preferred stock and the third as a fee to changetechnology and patent agreements. And the cash payout comes in at more than 6billion dollars, and amounts to more than 80% of the deal's value.

And those proceeds can come back through either a share-buy-back or aspecial dividend that hasn't yet been decided. And well Yahoo investors alsoseem pretty happy over the deal. They did push the share of the stock price upnearly one in a half percent in Tuesday trading. But take away from all ofthese, is that it seems almost everyone is smiling after thistechno-shaken.
