Microsoft Corp. and private-equity firm Silver Lake Partners may be working up a proposal to buy Yahoo Inc., the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The Journal said Microsoft would raise several billion dollars in financing, with additional funding being put up by banks, according to people familiar with the matter who the article did not name. Silver Lake and the CPP Investment Board (Canadian Pension Plan) would pony up the rest of the money.
