The company also completed its cash tender offer, accepting for payment
US$339.4 million of the outstanding US$345 million of its 3% Convertible
Senior Notes due May 2012, pursuant to the terms of the tender offer. The
tender offer expired at 8 a.m. ET today.

The net proceeds of the senior secured credit facilities have been used
to pay the purchase price in the tender offer for the 3% Convertible Notes,
for the repayment of outstanding amounts under the company's existing US$150
million
revolving credit facility and other bank and vendor financing, as
well as any related fees and expenses. Remaining proceeds not used to repay
existing indebtedness will be used for general corporate purposes.

"This six-year maturity provides flexibility to support our strategic
growth strategy," said Jim Ousley, Savvis chairman and chief executive
officer. "Savvis is poised for significant opportunities, and the fact that
we successfully raised money in today's fluctuating financing market
conditions demonstrates the confidence investors have in our vision."
