Is this like Google's move to be under Alphabet as a parent company? Altaba is for the holding group that controls that substantial overseas investments while Yahoo becomes just a brand used for some of their web properties that can be sold off if necessary?

That's exactly right except for the "if necessary" part. A deal to sell off all of the web properties to verizon has already been made.

That deal may have gone pear-shaped following the latest and greatest breach, though. Maybe "if possible" would have been wording on my part.
