Yahoo's board will meet in person at the company's Sunnyvale, California headquarters. The meeting is expected to last all day long and comes a week after Yahoo's board fired Chief Executive Carol Bartz, who had more than a year left on her 4 year contract.

Yahoo could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters outside regular US business hours.

Allen & Co, which Yahoo has retained as it pursues a strategic review of its business, is expected to attend Thursday's meeting, the person said.
