Yahoo and AOL were combined as Oath Inc. in 2017 after Verizon acquired Yahoo; Oath was renamed Verizon Media in 2019. In 2021 Verizon sold 90% of the media business to funds managed by Apollo Global Management and it was renamed Yahoo Inc. The Yahoo, AOL and Oath brand patterns and their acquisitions are therefore re-attributed from the `verizon` organization to Yahoo Inc.
