M&A/FINANCIALS/FUNDING

NAVISITE REPORTS MARGIN IMPROVEMENT NaviSite, Inc., a provider of cloud enabled enterprise-hosting and application-management services has issued results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2009 that ended on July 31, 2009. Total revenue for the quarter ended in July 31, 2009, was USD36.9 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 9%. Total revenue for the full fiscal year 2009 was USD152.7 million, representing a 1% decrease over revenue of USD154.9 million in fiscal year 2008. The expected decrease in total revenue for the quarter and fiscal year was due to the planned decline in NaviSite`s professional-services revenue during these periods. Recurring hosting revenue was USD34.5 million for the fourth quarter, compared USD34.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Gross margin improved to 35% for the fourth quarter, representing a four-percentage-point increase from the 31% recorded in the fourth quarter of the previous year and a two-percentage-point increase from the 33% recorded in the prior quarter. Gross margin for fiscal year 2009 was 33%, representing a three-percentage-point increase from the 30% recorded in fiscal year 2008. EBITDA, excluding impairment costs, stock-based compensation, severance and other non- operational charges ("EBITDA, as adjusted") for the fourth quarter was USD8.8 million, representing a year-over- year increase of 4%. EBITDA, as adjusted for the full fiscal year 2009 was USD35.1 million, representing an increase of 10% over the EBITDA, as adjusted of USD32.0 million in fiscal year 2008. NaviSite is in the process of repositioning its strategy to focus on enterprise hosting, application management and cloud computing.

DIGITAL REALTY TRUST ACQUIRES 2 CALIFORNIA BASED DATA CENTRES Trust, Inc has acquired 444 Toyama Drive, an operating data centre located in Sunnyvale, California. The two-story facility totals approximately 42,000 rentable square feet, including 32,000 square feet of raised floor space. The property is 100 percent leased through mid 2022 on a triple net basis to a leading provider of network neutral data centre and Internet exchange services. The company also announced that it has acquired the ownership interest in 1525 Comstock Street located in Santa Clara, California from its joint venture partner. The property totals approximately 42,000 square feet, including 29,000 square feet of raised floor space. The properties were acquired for a total purchase price of approximately USD44.3 million. The Company expects the blended cash cap rate on these acquisitions to be consistent with its 2009 guidance.

GI PARTNERS SELL DATA CENTRE GI Partners, a trans-Atlantic private equity firm, has sold its last remaining Fund I property, a data centre in Frankfurt for USD28 million to Equinix (Holding) BV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Equinix, Inc. (EQIX). Acquired in June 2004, the data centre consists of 310,000 gross square feet and 96,000 net square feet of raised floor space. This transaction represents the final sale of the 25 technology buildings acquired by GI Partners in its debut fund. With this sale, the Fund will have realized over USD1.0 billion in cash proceeds from these buildings on an initial equity investment of USD280 million representing a 3.7x multiple to invested capital and a 60% gross IRR. Other GI Partners Fund I properties previously sold include Sunset Gower Studios, located in Hollywood, CA, and Yates Group, a pub operator with locations throughout UK. GI Partners is currently making investments from its recently raised GI Partners Fund III L.P., which has secured USD2.0 billion of capital commitments from leading institutional private equity and real estate investors.
