Icahn is reported to have said in an “open letter” that the problem for Microsoft with Yahoo was Yahoo’s board, with Icahn reported as saying in a phone interview with Reuters that: "I am moving towards getting a potential new management team for Yahoo including a new CEO.”

Reuters also reported of what is presumed to be the same “open letter” from Icahn that: "Steve made it clear to me that if a new board were elected, he would be interested in discussing a major transaction with Yahoo.”
