Exhibit 99 ClearBlue Technologies Acquires Majority Position in NaviSite, Inc. HP Financial Services and CMGI Take Minority Positions in CBT ANDOVER, Mass., September 11, 2002 - Today NaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a provider of Always On Managed HostingSM services, announced that ClearBlue Technologies, Inc. (CBT), a privately-held provider of outsourced IT managed services, has become its strategic partner and majority owner. Under the terms of the agreement among CBT, CMGI and HP Financial Services (HPFS), CBT has acquired HPFS' $55 million convertible debt position and 3.2 million shares of NaviSite common stock and CMGI Inc.'s 76 percent equity share, warrants for 5.2 million shares of common stock exercisable at between $5.77 and $6.92 per share and a $10 million convertible note in NaviSite. As a result, CBT will own 79 percent of NaviSite's current equity and 94 percent on a fully converted basis. Both HP and CMGI have taken minority equity positions in CBT. NaviSite will continue to be traded on NASDAQ. "As the market consolidates, we believe NaviSite is well positioned to extend its leadership position. NaviSite's brand, success, operational excellence and extensive experience in delivering mission critical managed hosting, provides a key strategic platform for CBT to continue to build a strong presence in the marketplace," said Andy Ruhan, CEO of CBT. "By combining NaviSite's high quality service delivery with CBT's resources, this transaction creates a full-service eServices company for customers and prospects," said Tricia Gilligan, CEO of NaviSite. "By adding CBT's affiliated company offerings, NaviSite is now positioned to provide Always On Managed Hosting for enterprise-class solutions on a nation-wide basis." As part of this transaction, HPFS, a wholly owned subsidiary of HP, will take an active equity role and a board position in CBT. Building on its long-standing relationship with NaviSite, this transaction is expected to strengthen the joint sales and marketing activities formalized in a strategic alliance agreement signed between HP and NaviSite in April 2002. "We see the managed hosting market growing," said Irv Rothman, CEO and President of HPFS. "This transaction is a positive move for HPFS as we move from a debt holder, to partner." In connection with this transaction, two principals of CBT, Mr. Ruhan and Arthur Becker, CBT's Vice Chairman, will be elected to the Navisite Board of Directors. Mr. Ruhan is an experienced private technology investor and a founder of a number of successful managed services companies operating in Europe. He formed Atlantic Investors with Mr. Becker as a fund focused on investing in electronic commerce and telecommunications companies. Mr. Becker is also a private investor and since 1999, he has been a managing Member of Madison Technologies LLC, a fund that is focused on investing in electronic commerce and telecommunications companies.
