("HJ"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yahoo! Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Yahoo!"), relating to the third-party tender offer by HJ to exchange all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of HotJobs.com, Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("HotJobs.com"), for cash and shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Yahoo!

Common Stock to be issued to stockholders of HotJobs.com in the Offer and the Merger, which was amended on January 29, 2002 (the "Registration Statement"). The terms and conditions of the Offer and the Merger (as may from time to time be amended, supplemented or finalized) are described in the Preliminary Prospectus/Offer to Purchase which is a part of the Registration Statement (the "Preliminary Prospectus/Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of Transmittal, which were filed as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) to the Schedule TO.

        Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Preliminary Prospectus/Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.
