Verizon Communications Inc said on Monday it has agreed to sell its media unit, which includes Yahoo and AOL, to Apollo Global Management Inc for $5 billion, as it looks to offload its digital media business.

The business will be called Yahoo when the deal closes, which is expected in the second half of 2021, the company said.
