Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

In February 2010, Jerry Yang, co-founder and Chief Yahoo of Yahoo! Inc. (“Yahoo!”), transferred three million shares of Yahoo! common stock to a blind trust managed by a third-party trustee who will have complete discretion as to when, and to what extent, the stock is to be sold or otherwise disposed. The trust, which was established in April 2009, is scheduled to terminate by December 31, 2010. The blind trust is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Yahoo!’s Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan Policy.

In February 2010, David Filo, co-founder and Chief Yahoo, established a plan for the trading of Yahoo! common stock. Under the plan, Mr. Filo will sell up to two million shares of Yahoo! common stock in accordance with a prearranged trading schedule over a twelve-month period beginning in May 2010. The shares will be sold on the open market at prevailing market prices. This plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, and Yahoo!’s Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan policy.
