Following reports that Yahoo ( NSDQ: YHOO) held a board meeting today, the company filed an updated proxy with the SEC setting August, 1 as the date for its annual shareholders meeting. Recall that the company delayed its meeting not long after Icahn announced his slate. It was unclear at the time who this favored: Both sides, it seemed, would enjoy the extra time to gird for battle. By setting its meeting for August, the company is pushing the boundaries of when it is allowed to be held, and in fact said previously that the new meeting date would probably be some time in late July. Anyway, at least we're protected from the slow summer doldrums.
