    Yahoo's shareholders have officially approved the company's sale to Verizon for $4.48 billion. The deal will close on June 13, 2017.

    Once the deal closes, Yahoo and AOL will be merged into a combined entity called "Oath." AOL has indicated that it's planning over 2,000 layoffs following the deal's close.

    Marissa Mayer will be stepping down as CEO of Yahoo, though she will still own about $186 million worth of stock when she leaves.
