Yahoo Inc said that it would rename itself Altaba Inc and Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer would step down from the board after the closing of its deal with Verizon Communications Inc.

雅虎公司近日表示将更名为Altaba公司，在雅虎与威瑞森通讯公司的交易完成后，雅虎首席执行官玛丽莎·梅耶尔将退出公司董事会。

Yahoo has a deal to sell its core internet business, which includes its digital advertising¹, email and media assets, to Verizon for $4.83 billion.

此前雅虎已与威瑞森达成交易协议，以48.3亿美元出售其核心互联网业务，包括数字广告、电邮和媒体资产。

The terms of that deal could be amended² - or the transaction may even be called off - after Yahoo last year disclosed two separate data breaches³; one involving some 500 million customer accounts and the second involving over a billion.

在去年雅虎披露了两次独立的数据泄露事故之后，上述协议的条款可能会修订，而且交易甚至可能取消。

Verizon executives have said that while they see a strong strategic fit with Yahoo, they are still investigating the data breaches.

威瑞森通讯公司的高管层曾表示，虽然他们认为与雅虎在战略上非常匹配，但仍在调查数据泄露问题。

Five other Yahoo directors would also resign after the deal closes, Yahoo said in a regulatory filing.

雅虎在一份提交给监管机构的文件中称，交易完成后还有5名雅虎董事也将辞职。

The remaining directors will govern Altaba, a holding company whose primary assets will be a 15% stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group and 35.5% stake in Yahoo Japan.

其余董事将管理Altaba，这家控股公司的主要资产将是中国电子商务公司阿里巴巴集团15%的股份和雅虎日本35.5%的股份。

The new company also named Eric Brandt chairman of the board, effective Jan. 9.

新公司还任命埃里克·勃兰特担任董事长，自1月9日起生效。
