New York - Key officials from US software giant Microsoft and internet company Yahoo failed to reach agreement in talks over a multi-billion takeover bid, the Wall Street Journal newspaper said on Friday.
According to the paper, officials were unable to solve their differences of opinion during the meeting, which took place this week at Yahoo's headquarters in Sunnydale, California.
Microsoft launched a takeover bid of originally 45 billon dollars more than two months ago, which was rejected by Yahoo for being too low.
