The US internet company went through offers to put together a short list.

The US telecommunications company will face competition in the second round from other companies and private equity firms, reports Reuters.
As per the reports, Yahoo’s team of advisors are still reviewing the preliminary bids submitted by the companies. This much awaited acquisition deal has managed to allure many big international giants such as Japanese online retailer Rakuten Inc., Yellow Pages owner YP LLC, Verizon Communications and many more.
Apax Partners LLP, TPG Capital LP, Bain Capital LLC, Apollo Global Management LLC and Warburg Pincus LLC were among the private equity firms that submitted first-round bids, the people said. Yahoo may decide to allow buyout firms to team up in the second round, the people close to the story added.
