On January 11, 2010, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Yahoo! Inc.

Ms. James will participate in the current director compensation arrangements applicable to non-employee directors. Under the terms of those arrangements, Ms. James will receive an annual retainer of $80,000 for her service on the Board, an additional annual retainer of $35,000 for serving as Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board, and will participate in Yahoo!’s other compensation programs for its non-employee directors. In addition, Ms. James is expected to receive in February, subject to Board approval, a grant of restricted stock units under the Company’s 1996 Directors’ Stock Plan with the number of such units to be determined by the Board at the time of the grant. Each restricted stock unit will be paid, following vesting, in a share of Yahoo! common stock. Yahoo! intends to enter into its standard form indemnification agreement with Ms. James.
