SVVS News SAVVIS Officers Establish Rule 10b5-1 Stock Trading Plan
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SAVVIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:SVVS), a global leader in IT infrastructure services for business applications, today announced that certain officers of the company established pre-arranged personal stock trading plans with a brokerage firm under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on February 28, 2007.
Rule 10b5-1 allows officers and directors of public companies to adopt written prearranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, non-public information. The rule obviates concerns about initiating stock transactions while the insider may be aware of material non-public information. Once a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is established, the insider retains no discretion over sales under the plan, and the trades are executed through a broker in accordance with the terms of the plan at later dates without regard to any subsequent material non-public information that the insider may receive.
The following executive officers of SAVVIS have elected to enter into the Rule 10b5-1 stock trading plan:
Philip J. Koen, Chief Executive Officer
Jonathan C. Crane, President
Jeffery H. VonDeylen, Chief Financial Officer
Mary Ann Altergott, Senior Vice President- Human Resources
Timothy E. Caulfield, Senior Vice President- Operations
Eugene V. DeFelice, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
Bryan Doerr, Chief Technology Officer
Richard S. Warley, Senior Vice President, Managing Director- International
An aggregate of approximately 368,000 shares are covered by the stock trading plans. Sales of shares pursuant to the stock trading plans will occur over the next 10 months and will be reported through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
