Getting The Core Business EBITDA back to $2-3B a year
Reducing 9,000 employees as well as free food and other expensive sponsorships would generate at least $2B
a year in EBITDA

The existing core business is generating $600 million a year in EBITDA and can hopefully get back to its more
historical levels of $1B a year
With new operator-focused management and someone like a Liberty as a partner, we expect the core business
would receive an 8x multiple on that EBITDA rather than the current 2x
This change would lead to an incremental $18B in value over the current implied value of the core beyond the
value for which the core could be sold today following Starboard's "sell at the lows" plan
Finding an optimal solution to the 384 million Alibaba shares while Alibaba tracks back to $120/share → $25.7B
in incremental value
Finding an optimal solution for the 35% stake in Yahoo Japan → $4.3B in incremental value
Optimizing the value of the Sunnyvale real estate → $1.8B in incremental value
Reducing the share count
Just reorganizing the core business through cost cuts could create an extra $30/share in value above a Starboard
sell it now outcome; with a recovery in BABA shares and tax efficiencies, Yahoo could break $100/share
