            Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the third and fourth sentences of the second paragraph and adding the following new paragraph at the end of such Item:

On July 15, 2011, CenturyLink completed its previously announced acquisition of Savvis.  As a result, Savvis has become a wholly owned subsidiary of CenturyLink.  CenturyLink funded the cash portion of the consideration paid in the Merger with the proceeds from an offering of three series of CenturyLink senior notes and cash on hand.

Stock that have been effected during the past sixty days by CenturyLink or any of the persons identified in Annex A, other than as a result of the consummation of the Merger, are set forth in Annex B.
