Bartz replaced Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang, whom Icahn had been trying to get fired before he negotiated a truce that put him on the company's board nearly 15 months ago.
Icahn sought Yang's ouster after he turned down an opportunity to sell Yahoo to Microsoft for $47.5 billion last year. Yahoo's market value now stands at $24 billion.
