Yahoo has closed its $680 million acquisition of Right Media.

Yahoo bought its 20 percent stake in Right Media last October. The cost of acquiring the remaining equity interest in Right Media was about $650 million. Michael Walrath, CEO and founder of Right Media, moves to Yahoo as SVP, Right Media Exchange, reporting to Decker. Release
