Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On February 7, 2014, SBA Senior Finance II LLC (“SBA Senior Finance II”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBA Communications Corporation (“SBAC”), entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”), among SBA Senior Finance II, as borrower, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto, Citigroup Global Capital Markets Inc. and Barclays Bank PLC, as incremental tranche B-1 term loan joint lead arrangers and syndication agents, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as co-incremental Tranche B-1 term loan documentation agents, and Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as administrative agent, to, among other things, obtain a new delayed draw $1.5 billion senior secured Term Loan B (the “2014 Term Loan B”).

The 2014 Term Loan B consists of a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion that matures on March 24, 2021. The first funding, of $750.0 million, occurred on February 7, 2014 and the second funding, of $750.0 million, is expected to occur in March 2014. The 2014 Term Loan B will bear interest, at SBA Senior Finance II’s election, at either the Base Rate (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) plus 1.50% per annum (with a Base Rate floor of 1.75%) or Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) plus 2.50% per annum (with a Eurodollar Rate floor of 0.75%). The proceeds from the first draw of the 2014 Term Loan B were used principally to retire existing tranche B term loans and pay down existing balances on the revolving credit facility, and the proceeds from the second draw are expected to be used to fund the consideration for the pending Oi acquisition and for general corporate purposes. Principal on the 2014 Term Loan B will be repaid on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2014, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Term Loan B as fully funded. SBA Senior Finance II has the ability to prepay any or all amounts under the 2014 Term Loan B. However, to the extent the 2014 Term Loan B is prepaid prior to August 7, 2014 from the proceeds of certain refinancing or repricing transactions, a prepayment fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment will apply. The 2014 Term Loan B was issued at 99.75% of par value.

In addition to providing for the 2014 Term Loan B, the Second A&R Credit Agreement amended the terms of the existing credit agreement (the “2011 Senior Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, amend the terms of certain events of default, adjust certain negative covenants and remove the parent financial maintenance leverage covenant to reflect the increased size of SBA Senior Finance II and its restricted subsidiaries. All other material terms of the 2011 Senior Credit Agreement, as amended, remained unchanged.

Second Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement

In connection with the Second A&R Credit Agreement, SBAC and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Second A&R Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), dated as of February 7, 2014, among


SBAC, SBA Telecommunications, LLC, SBA Senior Finance, LLC, SBA Senior Finance II and certain of SBA Senior Finance II’s subsidiaries, as identified in the Second A&R Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), in favor of Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Second A&R Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, SBAC, SBA Telecommunications, LLC, SBA Senior Finance, LLC and the Subsidiary Guarantors guaranteed amounts borrowed under the Second A&R Credit Agreement. Additionally, amounts borrowed under the Second A&R Credit Agreement and certain hedging transactions that may be entered into by SBA Senior Finance II or the Subsidiary Guarantors with lenders or their affiliates are secured by a first lien on the membership interests of SBA Telecommunications, LLC, SBA Senior Finance, LLC and SBA Senior Finance II and on substantially all of the assets (other than leasehold, easement and fee interests in real property) of SBA Senior Finance II and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
