Verizon Communications Inc.

Also known as Verizon

What it does

Verizon is a telecommunications company. It was the seller of the media business acquired by Apollo-managed funds and renamed Yahoo in the September 2021 transaction.

Verizon retained a 10% Yahoo interest at that transaction’s closing. That historical statement is not a verification of the size of any remaining stake today.
