Tucked away in Verizon’s release about the acquisition on Tuesday was a line about Mayer’s exit. Nearly five years to the day after Marissa Mayer took over as C.E.O., ushering in an era of optimism that began with Shepard Fairey-esque posters of her face emblazoned with the word “HOPE“ spread throughout Yahoo’s Sunnyvale headquarters, Mayer is leaving, the last in a long chain of executives who failed to successfully turn around the company. The $4.5 billion sale, which was approved by Yahoo shareholders last week, was finalized Tuesday morning, marking the end of an era for the flailing Web portal. More than a year after putting itself up for sale, 90s-era Internet corpse Yahoo has gone and sold itself to Verizon.
