The UI is fine, but the wording needs work. A couple of general hints: An
entire sense would never be in parentheses, and there should always be a
space following a full stop.

"Select the user that will take ownership of the shared servers created by
<user name>. <num servers> shared servers are currently owned by this user."

"Note: If no user is selected, the shared servers will be deleted."

I'd also suggest that if the user does not select a new owner, a message
box should ask for confirmation before continuing:

"The shared servers owned by <user name> will be deleted. Do you wish to
continue?".
