ITEM 2 - CHANGE OF CONTROL

                  On July 2, 2001, the Board of Directors of SAVVIS
         Communications Corporation ("SAVVIS") approved (the "Approval") for the
         purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
         following: (i) the Stock Option Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2001, by
         and among Reuters America, Inc. ("RAM"), Reuters S.A. (together with
         RAM and their affiliates, "Reuters") and Bridge Information Systems,
         Inc. ("Bridge"), pursuant to which, among other things, Reuters has
         been granted an option to acquire all of the shares of SAVVIS' common
         stock currently owned by Bridge (the "Option"), and (ii) the Securities
         Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2001 by and between SAVVIS and
         Reuters Holdings Switzerland SA (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"),
         pursuant to which, among other things, Reuters agreed to purchase,
         under certain circumstances, up to $45,000,000, in aggregate principal
         amount, of SAVVIS' 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the "Notes").

                  As a result of such Approval, the Option became exerciseable
         for the full amount of the approximately 45 million shares of SAVVIS
         common stock owned by Bridge at a purchase price equal to the higher of
         $2.50 per share or the average of the trading price of SAVVIS' common
         stock on the five trading days prior to the exercise of the Option.
         Reuters now has the right to acquire, and has acquired beneficial
         ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange
         Act of 1934, as amended) of, approximately 58% in the aggregate of
         SAVVIS' common stock (assuming conversion of the Notes). In addition,
         Bridge granted Reuters the right to vote the shares of SAVVIS' common
         stock subject to the Option and, as a result of the Approval, Reuters
         now has the right to vote all of the approximately 45 million shares of
         SAVVIS' common stock subject to the Option. The Option and the right to
         vote the shares subject to the Option expire 90 days following the
         consummation of the purchase of certain assets of Bridge by Reuters,
         which closing is anticipated to be in August.

                  By filing this Form 8-K SAVVIS is not acknowledging that an
         actual change of control has occurred.
