Yahoo investor Mithras Capital LP has proposed that Yahoo sell itself to Microsoft for $22 a share. While that price is far lower than the $33 a share Microsoft had at one time offered for Yahoo, it does represent a premium over the $12.66 a share that was Yahoo's price as of close of trading Thursday. Microsoft has said it is no longer interested in Yahoo but investors continue to hold out hope that Microsoft will change its mind.
