TYPE OF REPORTING PERSON IN - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOFTBANK America Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SB America"), SOFTBANK Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SBH"), SOFTBANK Corp., a Japanese corporation ("SOFTBANK"), and Mr. Masayoshi Son, a Japanese citizen ("Mr. Son" and, together with SB America, SBH and SOFTBANK, the "Reporting Persons"), hereby amend and supplement the statement on Schedule 13D previously filed by them, as heretofore amended and supplemented, with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Yahoo! Inc., a California corporation (the "Issuer"), beneficially owned by them. Except as amended and supplemented hereby, the statement on Schedule 13D, as heretofore amended and supplemented, remains in full force and effect. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ The percentage interest held by each Reporting Person presented below is based upon 543,263,856 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding as of April 3, 2000 in the Issuer's Form 10-Q report for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. SB America is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBH, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SOFTBANK. Mr. Son is the President and Chief Executive Officer of SOFTBANK and owns an approximately 38.3% interest in SOFTBANK. Accordingly, securities owned by SB America may be regarded as being beneficially owned by SBH; securities owned by SBH may be regarded as being beneficially owned by SOFTBANK; and securities owned by SOFTBANK may be regarded as being beneficially owned by Mr. Son. As a result of a distribution of Common Stock owned by SOFTBANK Technology Ventures IV L.P. and SOFTBANK Technology Advisers Fund L.P., SB America received 47,777 shares of Common Stock on October 26, 1999. Previously, SB America erroneously reported the receipt of 29,040 shares of Common Stock on October 29, 1999. On February 14, 2000 the Issuer effected a 2-for-1 stock split. On May 11, 2000 an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.65625 per share granted by SBH to an executive on December 13, 1996 was exercised to the extent of 10,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, on May 31, 2000 SB America sold 1,814,000 shares of Common Stock at $110.25 per share net of commission pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 and 1,342,282 shares of Common Stock at $111.75 per share to Acqua Wellington North America Equities Fund Limited in a privately negotiated transaction. As of the date of the filing of this Statement, SB America beneficially owns, and SBH, SOFTBANK and Mr. Son may be deemed to beneficially own through SB America, 118,905,526 shares of Common Stock. Eric Hippeau, a director of the Issuer and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ziff-Davis Inc., a subsidiary of SBH, holds options Page 6 of 8 Pages to purchase 410,000 of these shares at $1.65625 per share and 135,360 of these shares at approximately $5.485 per share, and Ronald D. Fisher, Vice Chairman of SBH, holds options to purchase 22,560 of these shares at approximately $5.485 per share. SOFTBANK may be deemed to own an additional 211,100 shares of Common Stock by virtue of its ownership of all of the stock of SOFTBANK Ventures Inc., a Japanese corporation, which is the "operating principal" under a "silent partnership agreement" (a so-called tokumei kumiai keiyaku) under Japanese law and has voting power and investment power over such 211,100 shares. Mr. Son may also be deemed to be an indirect beneficial owner of such 211,100 shares beneficially owned by SOFTBANK by virtue of Mr. Son's ownership interest in SOFTBANK. The total beneficial ownership of SB America and SBH amounts to 118,905,526 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 21.9% of the outstanding Common Stock, and the total beneficial ownership by SOFTBANK and Mr. Son amounts to 119,116,626 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 21.9% of the outstanding Common Stock.
