Microsoft warned the board of Yahoo on Saturday that if a merger agreement was not completed in the next three weeks, Microsoft would make its offer directly to Yahoo shareholders, probably at a lower price. The warning was made by Microsoft’s chief executive, Steven A. Ballmer, in a letter sent by e-mail.
