This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with the amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Altaba Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Yahoo! Inc. (“Altaba” or the “Company”), on May 16, 2017, in connection with the offer by Altaba to purchase up to $3,000,000,000 of shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to (i) auction tenders (“Auction Tenders”) at prices equal to (A) the Alibaba VWAP (as defined in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below)), multiplied by (B) multiples specified by tendering stockholders not greater than 0.420 nor less than 0.370 (the “Permitted Range”), or (ii) purchase price tenders (“Purchase Price Tenders”) pursuant to which stockholders indicate they are willing to sell their Shares to the Company at the Purchase Price determined in the Offer (as defined below), in either case, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 16, 2017, a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO (the “Letter of Transmittal,” which together with the Offer to Purchase, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”). This Amendment is the final amendment to the Schedule TO and is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(4) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal is hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting at the end thereof the following text:

“Based on the final count by the Depositary, a total of 64,514,767 Shares were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or below the final Purchase Price of $53.20 per Share.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer, the Company accepted for payment, at a Purchase Price of $53.20, all of the 64,514,767 Shares properly tendered at or below the Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, at an aggregate cost of approximately $3.4 billion, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Offer. These Shares represent approximately 6.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares as of June 20, 2017. The Shares expected to be purchased include 56,390,977 Shares for an aggregate Purchase Price of up to $3.0 billion and an additional 8,123,790 Shares that the Company has elected to purchase pursuant to its right to purchase up to an additional 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares without extending the Offer.

The Company determined the final Purchase Price of $53.20 by multiplying the previously announced Alibaba VWAP of $137.1017 by 0.388, which was the lowest multiple within the Permitted Range at which Shares were tendered or were deemed to have been tendered in the Offer that, when multiplied by the Alibaba VWAP, would enable the Company to purchase the maximum number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn having an aggregate Purchase Price not exceeding $3,000,000,000. The Company has purchased an additional 0.85% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares that were tendered at the final Purchase Price, pursuant to its right to accept for payment an additional 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares without extending the Offer.”

Item 11. Additional Information.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding at the end thereof the following text:

“On June 22, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the final results of the Offer, which expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2017. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) to this Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.”

Item 12. Exhibits.

Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit to the exhibit index:

(a)(5)(E) Press release dated June 22, 2017 announcing final results of the Offer.
