Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On May 19, 2020, SBA Communications Corporation (“SBA”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) under which SBA agreed to sell $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% senior notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) to Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein. SBA expects the closing of the Notes to occur on May 26, 2020.
The Notes have an interest rate of 3.875% and will be issued at a price of 99.50% of their face value plus accrued interest from February 4, 2020. The Notes will be issued as additional notes under a supplement to an existing indenture dated as of February 4, 2020, and will constitute the same series of securities as the $1.0 billion 3.875% Senior Notes due 2027 issued on February 4, 2020 (the “Existing Notes”). Other than with respect to the date of issuance and the offering price, the Notes will have the same terms as the Existing Notes and the Notes and the Existing Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture. Except with respect to Notes offered pursuant to Regulation S, the Notes will have the same CUSIP number as, and will be fungible with, the Existing Notes immediately upon issuance. SBA intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) under its Senior Credit Agreement (the “Senior Credit Agreement”), which as of May 18, 2020 had an outstanding balance of $295 million. All remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.
Certain of the initial purchasers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking, commercial banking and other financial advisory and commercial dealings with SBA and its affiliates. In addition, certain of the initial purchasers or their affiliates serve in various roles under SBA’s Senior Credit Agreement, including as lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. Accordingly, such lenders will receive a portion of the net proceeds from the offering.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SBA Announces Add-On Offering of $400 Million of 3.875% Senior Notes Due 2027
Boca Raton, Florida, May 19, 2020
SBA Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: SBAC) (SBA) announced today that it has commenced a private add-on offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% senior notes due 2027 (the Notes).
SBA intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility under its Senior Credit Agreement. All remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
The Notes will be issued as additional notes under a supplement to an existing indenture dated as of February 4, 2020, and will constitute the same series of securities as the $1.0 billion 3.875% Senior Notes due 2027 issued on February 4, 2020 (the Existing Notes). Other than with respect to the date of issuance and the offering price, the Notes will have the same terms as the Existing Notes and the Notes and the Existing Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture. Except with respect to Notes offered pursuant to Regulation S, the Notes will have the same CUSIP number as, and will be fungible with, the Existing Notes immediately upon issuance.
The Notes will be offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction. SBA has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which SBA will either offer to exchange the Notes for substantially similar registered notes or register the resale of the Notes. This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell any of the Notes or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
