Yahoo Inc. said Thursday it could reverse its May decision to return more than $4 billion to shareholders from selling part of its stake in a Chinese Internet company, a signal that new Chief Executive Marissa Mayer may want to use the cash for other purposes.

雅虎(Yahoo Inc.)周四说，该公司可能调整5月份做出的将回售一家中国互联网公司部分股权所得的逾40亿美元返还给股东的决定。这暗示出新任首席执行长梅耶尔(Marissa Mayer)可能希望将这笔现金转做他用。

Yahoo's statement, contained in a regulatory filing signed by Chief Financial Officer Tim Morse, sent the Sunnyvale, Calif., company's shares down 3.5% in after-hours trading to $16.17.

雅虎的声明令该公司股价在盘后交易时段下跌3.5%，至每股16.17美元。声明包含在一份提交给监管机构的备案文件中，文件上有首席财务长莫尔斯(Tim Morse)的签名。

In May, Mr. Morse helped engineer the sale of part of Yahoo's stake in Chinese Web company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. He said on a July 17 earnings call with analysts that Yahoo's board was committed to returning the proceeds from the Alibaba sale to shareholders, though the company hadn't determined the form or timing of such an action.

今年5月，莫尔斯参与筹划了回售雅虎在中国网络公司阿里巴巴集团(Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.)所持部分股权的交易。他在7月17日与分析师召开的收益电话会议上说，雅虎董事会承诺将回售阿里巴巴股权的所得返还给股东，不过公司尚未确定返还的形式及时间。
