Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz assured shareholders that the slumping Internet company will "get our mojo back" as she tries to end a three-year slump that confounded her two predecessors.
Bartz made the pledge Thursday during her first shareholder meeting since Yahoo hired her six months ago.
In the mostly amiable one-hour meeting in Santa Clara, Bartz also told shareholders she won't talk publicly about Yahoo's on-again, off-again talks with Microsoft unless the two rivals make a deal.
Yahoo Inc. rejected a $47.5 billion takeover bid from Microsoft Corp. last year, infuriating many of its shareholders. Microsoft has since explored buying Yahoo's search engine, but Bartz has downplayed that possibility.
