Terremark Financing Update

Over the past 90 days, Terremark has been executing its three step financing plan. The first step was completed during March 2007 when Terremark raised approximately $90 million in a secondary equity offering. The second step completed during April 2007 was a private exchange in which a majority of its 9% convertible notes were exchanged for 6.625% notes with an extended maturity date of June 2013, while maintaining the $12.50 per share conversion price. The third step in Terremark's plan is the refinancing of its existing Mortgage Debt and Senior Notes. Terremark's NAP of the Americas facility in Miami was recently appraised at a value of approximately $250 million. The company intends to leverage this strategic asset to (i) accomplish this refinancing and (ii) raise additional debt capital to complete the funding of its planned expansions in Culpeper, Virginia and Silicon Valley.
