has named Ross Levinsohn as its interim CEO. He was hired as Yahoo's CEO in January to fill a void created by Carol Bartz's firing. The newspaper said it was told by one source that Thompson's decision to resign was partly influenced by his cancer diagnosis.ĥ4-year-old Thompson lives in Silicon Valley with his wife, two sons and a daughter. The Wall Street Journal, citing people it did not identify, said that Thompson told Yahoo's board and several colleagues of his condition before resigning from his role with the company. Thompson was getting an annual salary of $1 million at Yahoo and could have gotten a bonus of up to $2 million this year. Yahoo required Thompson to surrender unvested stock awards valued at $16 million. He will receive restricted stock valued at $5.5 million that Yahoo paid him when he joined the company to compensate him for benefits he gave up leaving his job running PayPal, the online payment service owned by eBay Inc.
