    "The independent inspector of elections certified the results of the election and Yahoo accurately announced those results," the Internet company said in an e-mailed statement.

    Yahoo issued its statement after Capital Research Global Investors, one of its largest shareholders, asked for a probe of shareholder voting, believing there was more opposition to Chief Executive Jerry Yang.

    Yang was reelected with 85 percent of the favorable vote.
