"Our proposal remains the only alternative put forward that offers Yahoo shareholders full and fair value for their shares, gives every shareholder a vote on the future of the company, and enhances choice for content creators, advertisers, and consumers."
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer had warned Yahoo that he would lobby stockholders to elect a new board of directors if the current board failed to accept a deal.
Yahoo sent a written response to last week's letter from Ballmer, stating that the board's view of the proposal had not changed.
"We continue to believe that your proposal is not in the best interests of Yahoo and our stockholders," read the statement.
"Contrary to statements in your letter, stockholders representing a significant portion of our outstanding shares have indicated to us that your proposal substantially undervalues Yahoo."
Microsoft proposed a stock deal worth US$44 billion to buy Yahoo in late January. Yahoo rejected the offer less than two weeks later, saying that the proposed deal greatly undervalued the firm.
