San Francisco: Yahoo! Inc has told the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it will increase its share buyback programme by $2 billion.
Yahoo's board of directors on Thursday approved the additional buybacks, Efe news agency reported.
"The board of directors of Yahoo! Inc. approved an additional share repurchase programme of $2 billion which will expire on March 31, 2018," said the company document submitted to the SEC.
