SAN FRAN­CIS­CO-Ya­hoo says its new CEO, Maris­sa May­er, may re­vise the In­ter­net com­pa­ny's plan to pay share­hold­ers bil­lions of dol­lars from an an­tic­i­pat­ed wind­fall lat­er this year. The po­ten­tial change dis­closed yes­ter­day caused Ya­hoo's stock to drop near­ly four per cent in ex­tend­ed trad­ing. May­er is mulling a shift in di­rec­tion as part of a sweep­ing re­view of the com­pa­ny. Ya­hoo Inc lured May­er away from ri­val Google Inc three weeks ago to be­come its fifth CEO in the past five years. As part of her eval­u­a­tion, May­er is scru­ti­n­is­ing Ya­hoo's agree­ment to sell half its stake in Chi­nese In­ter­net com­pa­ny Al­iba­ba Group Ltd. for US$7.1 bil­lion. Ya­hoo had promised to re­ward share­hold­ers with most of the Al­iba­ba pro­ceeds. Now, Ya­hoo says May­er may have some­thing dif­fer­ent in mind. (AP)
