<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>21Vianet Group, Inc. Announces Issuance of RMB1.75 Billion Convertible Bonds by its main operating entity </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BEIJING, April 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#151; 21Vianet Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:VNET) (&#147;21Vianet&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), a leading carrier-neutral
internet data center services provider in China, today announced that Beijing Yiyun Network Technology Co., Ltd. (&#147;Beijing Yiyun&#148;), a various interest entity of the Company and the main operating entity of 21Vianet, has agreed to issue an
aggregate of RMB1.75 billion convertible bonds to a group of investors (the &#147;Investors&#148;), including Beijing Nuoyuan Innovation Equity Investment Centre (Limited Partnership), Shanghai SDIC Xieli Development Equity Investment Fund
Partnership (Limited Partnership), Ningbo Huagai Detao Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), Shenzhen Qianhai Luojia Fangyuan Shunjing Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) and others. The Company intends to use the convertible
bonds proceeds to repay its existing bonds, to fund the Company&#146;s working capital and for other general corporate purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each investor will fund
its convertible bonds proceeds to Beijing Yiyun in two payments, with 50% of the proceeds funded at the first payment, and the remaining funded at the second payment subject to certain conditions. Both payments are expected to complete in the second
quarter of 2016. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The convertible bonds, due in 60 months from the date of the first payment, will have zero coupon rate. At the option of the holders,
the convertible bonds are convertible into shares represented by American depositary shares (&#147;ADSs&#148;) in the Company within 13 to 48 months following the date of the first payment.&nbsp;The conversion price will be based on a 25%, 20% and
15% premium over the 30-day average prices of the Company&#146;s ADSs prior to the intended conversion date, if such conversion occurs in the second year, third year and fourth year following the first payment date, respectively. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The bonds will, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, be convertible into equity interest of Beijing 21Vianet Broad Band Data
Center Co., Ltd. (&#147;21Vianet Beijing&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of Beijing Yiyun. The Investors (collectively) are entitled to nominate one candidate as the board observer of 21Vianet Beijing before the conversion date, or as a board
member of 21Vianet Beijing after the bonds are converted into equity interests in 21Vianet Beijing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the bonds are not converted into ADSs of the
Company or equity interest in 21Vianet Beijing within 60 months following the first payment date, the Investors may, via written notices, require Beijing Yiyun to repay the loan principal and interest. The loan interest is calculated at a compound
annual interest rate of 8% or 6.55% based on two pre-determined scenarios. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About 21Vianet </B></P>
