This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D dated May 14, 2001, as amended, filed by Reuters Group PLC ("RGPLC"), Reuters America Inc. ("RAM"), Reuters S.A. ("RSA") and Reuters Holdings Switzerland SA ("RHSSA" and, collectively with RGPLC, RAM and RSA, the "Reporting Persons"), with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of SAVVIS Communications Corporation ("Savvis"). ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: The consideration for the purchase of the Notes at the Second Closing (as defined below) was the payment of $10 million in cash by RHSSA pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. RHSSA used working capital to purchase such Notes and expects to use working capital for the purchase of any additional Notes. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: On June 1, 2001, RHSSA and Savvis completed an additional closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement in which RHSSA subscribed for and purchased from Savvis $10 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the "Second Closing"). A copy of the Note issued to RHSSA at the Second Closing is attached hereto as Exhibit 12 and is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 3 are incorporated herein by reference. As of June 1, 2001, RGPLC beneficially owned in the aggregate 16,298,827 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately one share less than 15% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the outstanding shares of Common Stock, 108,658,853, being determined, in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act, equal to the sum of (i) 93,844,039 shares, based on the representation made by Savvis under the Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) RHSSA's right to acquire 7,407,407 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes purchased by it at the Initial Closing and (iii) RHSSA's right to acquire 7,407,407 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes purchased by it at the Second Closing). The Savvis Stock Option gives RAM and RSA (collectively, "Reuters") the right to acquire an aggregate of 45,483,702 shares of Common Stock from Bridge subject to certain limitations discussed below. In addition, the Notes issued at the Initial Closing and the Second Closing give RHSSA the right to acquire upon conversion 14,814,814 shares of Common Stock, representing 13.63% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the outstanding shares of Common Stock, 108,658,853, being determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act as set forth above). 6 Currently, however, under the terms of the Savvis Stock Option Agreement, Reuters may only exercise the Savvis Stock Option with respect to such number of shares of Common Stock as would not result in Reuters becoming an "interested stockholder" as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL (i.e., the beneficial owner of 15% of the outstanding Common Stock as determined in accordance with Section 203 of the DGCL). As a result, because the Notes currently represent beneficial ownership by RHSSA of 14,814,814 shares of Common Stock (or 13.63% of the outstanding Common Stock (determined in accordance with Section 203 of the DGCL)), the Savvis Stock Option is currently exercisable by Reuters for 1,484,013 shares (or 1.36% of the outstanding Common Stock (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act)). The number of shares of Common Stock which are able to be purchased by Reuters under the terms of the Savvis Stock Option will fluctuate depending on the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time and the number of shares otherwise beneficially owned by Reuters as determined under Section 203 of the DGCL, including as a result of any further issuance of Notes which are convertible into shares of Common Stock. The Savvis Stock Option Agreement also gives Reuters the right to vote the shares of Common Stock subject to the Savvis Stock Option. However, this voting right covers the lesser of (x) the number of shares for which the Savvis Stock Option is exercisable and (y) unless and until any requisite filing under the HSR Act has been made and the waiting period with respect thereto has expired, such number of shares that may be acquired by Reuters without the making of a filing under the HSR Act. Except as disclosed in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns, nor, to the best of their knowledge, none of their directors or executive officers beneficially owns, any shares of Common Stock. (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to (i) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 3 and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof are incorporated herein by reference. (c) Except as disclosed in Item 4 hereof, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors or executive officers, has effected any transaction in the Common Stock of Savvis since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D. (d) Not applicable. (e) Not applicable. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: The response to Item 4 hereof is incorporated herein by reference. 7 RHSSA has been issued the Note purchased at the Second Closing. The Note issued at the Second Closing is attached hereto as Exhibit 12. On May 31, 2001, RHSSA and Savvis amended the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note issued at the Initial Closing (the "First Amendment"). A copy of the First Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 13. ITEM 7.
