US telecoms giant Verizon has reached a deal with Yahoo to get the company's core internet business for $350m (£281m) less than originally agreed.
Doubts had been cast over the original deal after it emerged that Yahoo had been hit by two huge cyber attacks.
Following a discounted, Verizon said it was now purchasing the Yahoo business for about $4.48bn.
Beneath the new deal Yahoo and Verizon will split the expense of some lawsuits arising from the data breaches.
Verizon wants to combine Yahoo's search, email and messenger assets, along with its advertising technology tools, having its AOL unit. Verizon bought AOL in 2015 for $4.4bn.
Verizon sees mobile video and advertising as new sourced elements of revenue outside an overcrowded US telecoms market.
Yahoo admitted in December 2016 it have been hit by way of a large cyber attack in 2013 which affected higher than a billion customer accounts.
