UPDATE
Yahoo board member Carl Icahn told CNBC he would vote against former AOL CEO Jon Miller’s plan to buy Yahoo for $20-$22 a share with money from private equity and sovereign wealth.
“Right now, I would be against that,” Icahn said, indicating he objected not to Miller running Yahoo, but Miller’s price. “The stock is undervalued right now,” he said.
