Icahn tells Yahoo board to scrap severance plan news.yahoo.com SAN FRANCISCO - Activist investor Carl Icahn escalated his attacks on Yahoo Inc.'s beleaguered board Wednesday in an acerbic letter demanding the directors scrap an employee severance plan that drove up the potential costs of a Microsoft Corp. takeover. If Yahoo's board clings to the severance plan, Icahn indicated he will follow through on his 3-week-old threat to ask shareholders to fire the board at the Sunnyvale-based company's Aug. 1 annual meeting. That move would also target Yahoo Chief Executive Jerry Yang, who co-founded the Internet pioneer 14 years ago and pushed for the adoption of the severance program, which could trigger more than $2 billion in costs if Microsoft pulled off a successful takeover.
