This Amendment No. 5 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 Fourth Closing (as defined below) was the payment of $2.5 million in cash by RHSSA pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. RHSSA used working capital to purchase such Notes. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: On August 1, 2001, RHSSA and Savvis completed an additional closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement in which RHSSA subscribed for and purchased from Savvis an additional $2.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the "Fourth Closing"). A copy of the Note issued to RHSSA at the Fourth Closing is attached hereto as Exhibit 15 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. 5 are incorporated herein by reference. As of August 1, 2001, RGPLC beneficially owned in the aggregate 67,705,924 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 57.95% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the outstanding shares of Common Stock, 116,830,755, being determined, in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act, equal to the sum of (i) 94,608,533 shares, based on the representation made by Savvis in an officer's certificate issued in connection with the Fourth Closing, and (ii) RHSSA's right to acquire 22,222,222 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes purchased pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement). As previously disclosed, RAM and RSA (collectively, "Reuters") hold the Savvis Stock Option, which is currently exercisable for an aggregate of 45,483,702 shares of Common Stock currently owned by Bridge (or 38.93% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as calculated above). In addition, the Notes issued at the Initial Closing, the Second Closing, the Third Closing and the Fourth Closing give RHSSA the right to acquire upon conversion 22,222,222 shares of Common Stock (or 19.02% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as calculated above). However, the total number of shares which may be acquired by the Reporting Persons at any particular time through conversion of the Notes may be limited under the HSR Act and the rules and regulations 6 promulgated thereunder until such time as any requisite filing under the HSR Act has been made and the waiting period with respect thereto has expired or been terminated. The Savvis Stock Option Agreement also gives Reuters the right to vote the 45,483,702 shares of Common Stock subject to the Savvis Stock Option. Except as disclosed in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns, and, 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. 5 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.
