Icahn joins Yahoo board as Kotick leaves, per deal
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc's (YHOO.O) board has named billionaire investor Carl Icahn as a director, while board member Robert Kotick has tendered his resignation as part of a previously announced deal with Icahn, the company said on Wednesday.
In a filing with U.S. securities regulators, the Internet company said Kotick had resigned following the company's Aug. 1 annual shareholder meeting and that Icahn had been named under a settlement deal that averted a proxy battle with a rival slate of board candidates led by Icahn.
