SAVVIS Sells Assets Related to Two Data Centers for $200 Million

Business Wire, June 29, 2007

* Two Data Centers Previously Under Long-term Colocation Contract

* Purchase Price Includes $190 Million Cash; $10 Million Other Consideration

* Investor Conference Call Scheduled for 8:00 AM EDT Monday, July 2

ST. LOUIS -- SAVVIS, Inc. (Nasdaq:SVVS), a global leader in IT infrastructure services for business applications, today announced it has sold assets in two adjacent data centers in Santa Clara, CA to Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) for $200 million, including $190 million cash and forgiveness of approximately $10 million of previously-advanced revenue. The $200 million consideration also reflects early termination of service contracts between SAVVIS and Microsoft related to those data centers. Microsoft is the sole customer in both facilities, which together comprise approximately 250,000 square feet of gross raised-floor space, and useable square feet under typical business conditions of approximately 160,000 square feet.

SAVVIS CEO Phil Koen said, "This is a great transaction for both SAVVIS and Microsoft, a valued - and continuing - SAVVIS customer. Microsoft gets full control of two data centers they already occupy. SAVVIS can redeploy the proceeds into investments in higher-margin, higher-growth assets. As we continue to focus on providing IT infrastructure as a service, we are exploring investment opportunities including further network capabilities and expansion of our data center footprint with top-quality facilities in high-demand markets."

Microsoft has been the sole customer in the data centers under the terms of a SAVVIS colocation contract due to expire at the end of 2010. That contract generated approximately $16.5 million of revenue and approximately $8 million of Adjusted EBITDA* for the first six months of 2007, which includes approximately $1.5 million of non-cash contribution primarily related to amortization of advanced billings that were being recognized over the remaining contract life.

"The acquisition of these assets is an important part of our vision for a globally scaled data center infrastructure that will keep pace with user demand for innovative online services," said Arne Josefsberg, general manager, infrastructure services, Microsoft. "Working with SAVVIS to complete this transaction will allow us to gain energy and operational efficiencies, helping us continue to run some of the largest services in the world. We appreciate our long relationship with SAVVIS and look forward to working with them in the future."

Power costs for the two data centers were excluded from SAVVIS' revenue and cost as Microsoft paid for power directly. Typically, SAVVIS includes the power costs for colocation customers as part of their overall billing. As part of the sale, the service contract with Microsoft for these two facilities terminates as of the end of June 2007.

Commenting on the sale, SAVVIS Chief Financial Officer Jeff Von Deylen said, "The sale of the assets related to these two data centers is very much in line with SAVVIS' strategic focus on managed IT infrastructure services. We have exited a contract that provided us with only modest growth from contractual price escalators, and obtained proceeds that will fund ongoing and future business expansion that we expect will produce higher growth. Over the next twelve months we expect to reinvest the proceeds in initiatives including selected data center expansions and potential network enhancements. As a result of these investments, we would expect to exceed the lost annualized adjusted EBITDA from this transaction within 24 months. We will announce these initiatives as we finalize plans over the next few quarters."

As a result of the sale, SAVVIS management's current expectations for 2007 financial results include:

* Total revenue in a range of $805-820 million, compared to $820-835 million previously anticipated, and

* Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $155-165 million, compared to $160-170 million previously anticipated.
