Yahoo went public on August four with far more details about terms of its search deal with Microsoft in its Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.You'll find a couple of particulars I found interesting, specially when evaluating Yahoo;s 8-K filing towards the Yahoo-Microsoft expenses slide that Microsoft erroneously included in a Financial Analyst Meeting slide deck final week.Based on Yahoo;s filing, if and once the Microsoft-Yahoo deal gains regulatory approval:“Microsoft will hire not less than 400 Yahoo! employees (the “Transferred Employees”) and will give the Transferred Employees market competitive compensation packages. In addition,

Office 2010! to assist with providing the transition services.”I guess that explains the “retention pre/post close” costs of $90 million that Microsoft expects to spend as part of its new partnership.Then there was the mention in that Microsoft costs slide of $150 million worth of “sign-on” expenses. Looks like that might map to the $50 million annual payment Microsoft will make to Yahoo during the first three years of the agreement, which may be used to “partially cover transition and implementation costs not otherwise covered” under the deal.When Microsoft announced plans at the start of this year to cut 5,

Now we know where 400 to 500 of those hires are going to come from….Anyone else see anything noteworthy in Yahoo;s new 8-K filing?
