ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

(e) The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of SAVVIS, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted payout targets and methodology for 2009 pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan. Under this plan, certain non-sales-based eligible employees (including the Company’s executive officers) may receive a portion of their award in common stock. The Company feels that this may better align the interests of its eligible employees with the interests of the Company’s stockholders than historical practices. In addition, participants will be eligible for a mid-year payment of a portion of their awards if performance criteria are met for the first six months of 2009. The Compensation Committee retains full discretion with respect to the payment of any incentive payment under the Plan.
