Oath Inc. (also officially dubbed Verizon Digital Network) is a subsidiary of Verizon Communications' Media and Telematics division, that will serve as the parent company of its content sub-divisions AOL and Yahoo!.
Verizon announced its acquisition of AOL in May 2015, and announced its deal to purchase Yahoo!'s operating business in July 2016. The remainder of Yahoo became Altaba, Inc on June 16, following the departure of Yahoo CEO, Marissa Mayer. AOL and Yahoo will maintain their respective brands following the completion of the transaction.
The Oath name is meant to convey the parent company's commitment to the media business.
Both the AOL headquarters and the former Yahoo! headquarters are Oath headquarters, effective after the acquisition of Yahoo. Currently, the two headquarters are located in New York City, New York and Sunnyvale, California in the United States. They also have offices in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand and elsewhere in the United States.
