Prospectus Summary
The information below is only a summary of more detailed information included in other sections of this prospectus. This summary may not contain all the information that is important to you or that you should consider before buying shares in the offering. The other information is important, so please read this entire prospectus carefully.
The terms "SAVVIS," "we," "us" and "our" as used in this prospectus refer to SAVVIS Communications Corporation, formerly SAVVIS Holdings Corporation, and its subsidiaries, except where by the context it is clear that such terms mean only SAVVIS Communications Corporation. The term "Bridge" refers to Bridge Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which owns approximately 75% of our common stock.
Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus assumes the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option and reflects our 72,000-for-1 stock split of our outstanding common stock, issued in connection with the acquisition of us by Bridge, which took place on July 22, 1999. We are currently negotiating to enter into a network services agreement and other related agreements with Bridge, which are described under "Business -- Bridge Relationship." The information in this prospectus also assumes that the transfer of the network assets from Bridge to SAVVIS and the execution of the network services agreement and other related agreements, that we expect to be completed by December 31, 1999, have been completed.
