Verizon has officially acquired Yahoo for a cool $4.83 billion but the company's CEO, Marissa Mayer, has announced that she plans to stay on as head of the company through the transition phase.
Mayer joined Yahoo four years ago and promised to rejuvenate the company but despite Yahoo's one billion monthly active users they've finally decided to sell in a deal which will be finalized early next year.
However, under her employment agreement, Mayer would receive a severance compensation package worth about $55 million if she is indeed terminated as CEO after the sale of Yahoo’s businesses to Verizon.
