Mr. Masayoshi Son, a Japanese citizen, SOFTBANK Corp., a Japanese
corporation ("SOFTBANK"), SOFTBANK Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation
("SBH"), and SOFTBANK America Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SB America" and,
together with Mr. Son, SOFTBANK and SBH, the "Reporting Persons"), hereby amend
and restate the report on Schedule 13D filed July 27, 1998 (the "Original 13D"),
as amended on January 12, 1999 and February 17, 1999, with respect to the Common
Stock, par value $0.00017 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Yahoo! Inc., a

relates to the Common Stock. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are

Item 2. Identity and Background.

None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to their best knowledge and belief,

<PAGE>
CUSIP NO. 984332-10-6 PAGE 7 OF 17 PAGES
and director of SB America, SBH and SOFTBANK, respectively, the following
information: (a) name, (b) residence or business address, (c) present principal
occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any
corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted and (d)

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
--------------------------------------------------
After conversion of SBH's preferred stock upon completion of the
Issuer's initial public offering of securities pursuant to an effective
registration statement and prospectus dated April 12, 1996, SBH held 9,515,228
shares of Common Stock. After a 3-for-2 stock split effective August 11, 1997,
SBH held 14,272,842 shares of Common Stock.
On December 31, 1997, SBH entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
GeoCities Inc., a California corporation ("GeoCities"), the Issuer and Sellers
(as defined therein) (the "GeoCities Stock Purchase Agreement") which was filed
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated July 21, 1998
filed by GeoCities. The GeoCities Stock Purchase Agreement is incorporated by
reference into this Item 3. Pursuant to the GeoCities Stock Purchase Agreement,
SBH exchanged 350,000 shares of Common Stock for 600,000 shares of common stock,
par value $0.0005 per share, of GeoCities. Pursuant to a Registration Statement
on Form S-3 dated January 8, 1998, SBH sold 150,000 shares of Common Stock on
January 21, 1998 and 320,000 shares of Common Stock on January 26, 1998 to fund
second and third purchases of GeoCities common stock.
On July 7, 1998, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
even date therewith between the Issuer and SBH, SBH purchased 1,363,440 shares
of Common Stock for approximately $250 million. SBH used its net working capital
to fund this acquisition. After a 2-for-1 stock split effective July 31, 1998,
SBH owned 29,632,564 shares of Common Stock.
On October 20, 1998 the Issuer merged with Yoyodyne Entertainment Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("Yoyodyne") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of October 9, 1998. SOFTBANK Ventures, Inc., a Japanese corporation
("SVI") all of the stock of which is owned by SOFTBANK, owned 1,306,000.8 shares
of Yoyodyne class A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 218,117 shares of
Yoyodyne common stock. In connection with the merger, SVI received, in exchange
for its Yoyodyne stock, a total of 45,751 shares of Common Stock and warrants
expiring September 30, 2007 to purchase 6,999 shares of Common Stock at $0.31
per share. SVI acquired these shares and warrants as the "operating principal"
under a "silent partnership
<PAGE>
CUSIP NO. 984332-10-6 PAGE 8 OF 17 PAGES
agreement" (a so-called tokumei kumiai keiyaku) under Japanese law. SOFTBANK as
owner of SVI has voting power and dispositive power over the securities owned by
SVI.
On December 31, 1998, pursuant to a subscription agreement, SBH
contributed, among other things, 29,632,564 shares of Common Stock to SB
America.
On February 5, 1999, the Issuer effected a two-for-one stock split
pursuant to which SB America and SVI received one additional share of Common
Stock for each share held on the record date of January 22, 1999.
On February 16, 1999, SB America sold 1,282,889 shares of Common Stock
through Goldman, Sachs & Co., who acted on an agency basis for the account of SB
America, in brokers' transactions at various market prices for aggregate gross
proceeds (before deduction of brokers' commissions) of approximately
$183,438,000. In addition, SB America sold 1,717,111 shares to Goldman, Sachs &
Co. in a block trade sale at $134 per share.
On March 4, 1999, SVI exercised the warrants and received 13,998 shares
of Common Stock for $2,169.69, increasing its holdings to 105,500 shares of
Common Stock. SVI used its own funds for this purpose.
Except as described above, none of the persons listed in the Annexes
hereto contributed any funds or other consideration towards the purchase of the
Common Stock.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
---------------------------
Each Reporting Person expects to evaluate on an ongoing basis the
Issuer's financial condition, business operations and prospects, market price of
the Common Stock, conditions in securities markets generally, general economic
and industry conditions and other factors. Accordingly, each Reporting Person
reserves the right to change its plans and intentions at any time, as it deems
appropriate. In particular, each Reporting Person may, at any time and from time
to time: acquire additional Common Stock or securities convertible or
exchangeable for Common Stock; dispose of shares of Common Stock; and/or enter
into privately negotiated derivative transactions with institutional
counterparties to hedge the market risk of some or all of its positions in the
Common Stock. Any such transactions may be effected at any time and from time to
time subject to any applicable limitations of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and the contractual restrictions described in
Item 6. To the knowledge of each Reporting Person, each of the persons listed on
Annex A-1, Annex A-2 and A-3 hereto may make the same evaluation and reserves
the same rights.
<PAGE>
CUSIP NO. 984332-10-6 PAGE 9 OF 17 PAGES
As of the date of the filing of this statement, none of the Reporting
Persons, nor, to their best knowledge and belief, any of their respective
executive officers or directors, has any other plan or proposal which relates to
or would result in any of the actions set forth in parts (a) through (j) of Item
4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
-------------------------------------
The percentage interest held by each Reporting Person presented below
is based on the number of shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding as
of February 15, 1999 communicated to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer (the
"Outstanding Shares").
As of the date of the filing of this Statement, SB America beneficially
owns, and SBH, SOFTBANK and Mr. Son may be deemed to beneficially own through SB
America, 56,265,128 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 28.1% of
the outstanding Common Stock. In addition, SVI may be regarded as beneficially
owning the 105,500 shares of Common Stock owned by the silent partnership in
that it has voting power and investment power over these shares, and SOFTBANK
and Mr. Son may be deemed to beneficially own these securities indirectly by
virtue of his indirect ownership of SVI. Mr. Son's total beneficial ownership
represents approximately 28.1% of the outstanding Common Stock.
Except as described in this Statement, neither SVI nor any of the
Reporting Persons, nor, to the best knowledge and belief of the Reporting
Persons, any of their respective executive officers or directors beneficially
owns any other Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock.
Each Reporting Person may be regarded as having the power to vote or
direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of the Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as indicated in pages 2 through 6
above.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to a Standstill and Voting Agreement dated as of March 12,
1996, between the Issuer and SBH, which is filed as an exhibit to this Statement
and incorporated by reference into this Item 6, SBH is prohibited from
purchasing additional shares of the Issuer's capital stock without the written
consent of a majority of the Issuer's Board of Directors if such purchase would
result in SBH owning more than 35% of the Issuer's capital stock (assuming the
exercise of all outstanding options and
<PAGE>
CUSIP NO. 984332-10-6 PAGE 10 OF 17 PAGES
warrants to purchase capital stock). The restrictions terminate on March 12,
2001 or earlier in the event that the Issuer's founders, David Filo and Jerry
Yang, own beneficially less than 2,500,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock,
in the aggregate. Also, SBH's maximum permitted percentage ownership increases
to 49.5% of the Issuer's capital stock (excluding options and warrant to
purchase capital stock) in the event that Messrs. Filo and Yang beneficially own
in the aggregate less than 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The agreements also
prohibit SBH from disposing of shares representing more than 5% of the Issuer's
capital stock without approval of the Issuer's Board of Directors (other than in
public market sales under Rule 144 or pursuant to a registration statement filed
by the Issuer).
The Purchasers (including, as defined therein, SBH) and the Issuer
entered into a Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated as
of March 12, 1996 (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), which is filed as an
exhibit to this Statement and incorporated by reference into this Item 6. The
Investor Rights Agreement provides SBH with the right to require the Issuer to
register any or all of the Common Stock held by it in a public offering pursuant
to the Securities Act. Such registration is subject to the right of the Issuer
to delay any exercise by SBH of this right for a period of up to 180 days if, in
the Issuer's judgment, the Issuer or any financing, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or other material transaction by the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries then being conducted or about to be conducted would be adversely
affected. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, SBH also has the right to
"piggyback" or include its Common Stock in any registration of Common Stock made
by the Issuer.
The Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement
dated July 7, 1998 among the Issuer and the Purchasers (including, as defined
therein, SBH), which is filed as an exhibit to this Statement and incorporated
by reference into this Item 6, specifically included in the rights granted to
SBH under the Investor Rights Agreement the shares purchased pursuant to the
Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 7, 1998 between the Issuer and SBH which was
filed as an exhibit to the Original Schedule 13D and is incorporated by
reference into this Item 6.
In a Subscription Agreement, dated December 31, 1998, between SBH and
SB America, which is filed as an exhibit to this Statement and incorporated by
reference into this Item 6, SBH subscribed to 100 shares of Common Stock of SB
America for a purchase price of $10 per share. As an additional contribution to
capital, SBH assigned and transferred to SB America all of its right, title and
interest in, inter alia, the Common Stock, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, equities or claims.
The summary descriptions contained in this Statement of certain
agreements and documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
complete

texts of such agreements and documents filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
Except as described in this Statement or in the exhibits hereto, none
of the Reporting Persons nor, to their best knowledge and belief, any of their
respective directors or executive officers, is a party to any other contract,
arrangement, understanding or relationship with respect to any securities of the
Issuer.
