Exhibit 99.3
SBA COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND MOBILITIE INVESTMENTS, LLC, MOBILITIE INVESTMENTS II, LLC UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of SBA Communications Corporation (“SBA”) and Mobilitie Investments, LLC (“M1”) and Mobilitie Investments II, LLC (“M2”), together (“M1/M2”) giving effect to the acquisition of M1/M2 by SBA, as if it had occurred on December 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of SBA and M1/M2, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2011. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the:
| • | | separate historical financial statements of SBA as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the related notes included in SBA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which is incorporated by reference into this 8-K filing; |
| • | | separate historical financial statements of M1 /M2 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the related notes are included within this 8-K filing; |
| • | | excluded from the M1/M2 historical financial statements is the historical financial activity of the management company that is consolidated with the accounts of M2 and which is not part of the acquired entity, as of December 31, 2011 and for the year ended thereof. Such excluded activity is denoted by the caption, ‘Excluded LLC’ within the pro forma financial statements; |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. There were no material transactions between SBA and M1/M2 during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements that would need to be eliminated.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP standards”), which are subject to change and interpretation. SBA has been treated as the acquirer in the acquisition for accounting purposes. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments included herein are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Differences between the preliminary estimates reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the final acquisition accounting will likely occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.
Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisition, the costs to integrate the operations of SBA and M1/M2 or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Transaction
On April 2, 2012, SBA, through its wholly-owned subsidiary SBA Monarch Acquisition, LLC (“SBA Monarch”), completed the acquisition of the equity interests of specified entities that were affiliates of Mobilitie LLC (the “Mobilitie Acquisition”). As of April 2, 2012, these entities owned 2,275 towers with an additional 42 towers in development in the US and Central America and also owned indoor and outdoor distributed antenna system (DAS) assets in Chicago, Las Vegas, New York City and Auburn, Alabama. The total consideration paid by SBA in the Mobilitie Acquisition was (i) $850.0 million in cash and (ii) 5,250,000 newly issued shares of the SBA’s Class A common stock.
Simultaneous with the closing of the Mobilitie Acquisition, SBA Monarch entered into a credit agreement among SBA Monarch, as borrower, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Barclays Bank PLC, as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners (the “Bridge Loan Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Bridge Loan Credit Agreement, SBA Monarch borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $400 million under a senior secured bridge loan (the “bridge loan”). The bridge loan will mature on April 1, 2013. Amounts borrowed under the Bridge Loan Credit Agreement are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets (other than leasehold, easement and fee interests in real property) of SBA Monarch and SBA Monarch’s subsidiaries (the assets acquired in the Mobilitie Acquisition), and a pledge of Telecommunications’ interests in SBA Monarch. The bridge loan bears interest, at SBA Monarch’s election, at either the Base Rate plus a margin that ranges from 2.00% to 2.50% or the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin that ranges from 3.00% to 3.50%, in each case based on SBA Monarch’s ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the Bridge Loan Credit Agreement). As of April 30, 2012, the bridge loan bears interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.5% (currently 3.74%). The Bridge Loan Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants.
The proceeds from the bridge loan and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were used to fund the cash consideration paid in the Mobilitie acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. Any principal of the bridge loan which has not been prepaid will be repaid on the maturity date. SBA Monarch has the ability to prepay any or all amounts under the bridge loan without premium or penalty.
2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared under existing U.S. GAAP standards, which are subject to change and interpretation. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of SBA would have been had the M1/M2 purchase occurred on the date assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the realization of cost savings from operating efficiencies or restructuring costs anticipated to result from the M1/M2 purchase. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of SBA that are incorporated by reference in this 8-K filing and of M1/M2 that are included within this 8-K filing. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of M1/M2 to conform to the presentation used in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and relate primarily to deferred contract costs, deferred contract revenues and advanced billings to client. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of M1/M2 to conform to the presentation used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations primarily related to revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses and reimbursable expenses.
The historical statements of operations for M1/M2 are presented for the year ended December 31, 2011.
As of the date of this 8-K filing, SBA has not performed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of the M1/M2’s assets acquired and the M1/M2 liabilities assumed and the related allocations of purchase price, nor has it identified the adjustments necessary, if any, to conform M1/M2’s accounting policies to SBA’s accounting policies. However, as indicated in Note 5 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, SBA has made certain adjustments to the December 31, 2011 historical book values of the assets and liabilities of M1/M2 to reflect certain preliminary estimates of the fair values necessary to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Any excess purchase price over the historical net assets of M1/M2, as adjusted to reflect estimated fair values, has been recorded as goodwill. Actual results may differ from these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements once SBA has determined the final purchase price for M1/M2 and has completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the required purchase price allocations and identified any necessary conforming accounting policies. The determination of the final purchase price allocations can be highly subjective and it is possible that other professionals applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternatives estimated amounts.
SBA is still in the process of completing this review for other intangibles such as favorable/unfavorable contracts and favorable/unfavorable real estate leases. The company anticipates that there will be unfavorable real estate leases and is in the process of working with a specialist to identify these leases and the related impact on the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.
The acquisition will be accounted for as an acquisition in accordance with the guidance related to business combinations. This guidance requires that all transaction and restructuring costs related to business combinations be expensed as incurred, and it requires that changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and liabilities for tax uncertainties subsequent to the acquisition date that do not meet certain re-measurement criteria be recorded in the income statement, among other changes. Under the acquisition method, the total estimated acquisition price (consideration transferred) as described in Note 4 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was measured at the closing date of the acquisition using the market price at that time. The accounting guidance also requires that acquisition related transaction costs (i.e. advisory, legal, valuation, other professional fees) are not included as a component of the consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. Total acquisition related transaction costs expected to be incurred by SBA are estimated to be approximately $10.3 million and are reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as a reduction of cash and an increase to accumulated deficit.

3. Accounting Policies
SBA will continue to review M1/M2’s accounting policies. As a result of the ongoing review, SBA may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements. At this time, SBA is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies.
4. Estimate of Consideration Expected to be Transferred
The following is a preliminary estimate of the consideration to be transferred to effect the transaction:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Common Shares (stated value $.01 share) | | | Capital in Excess of Par Value | | | Total | |
| | | |
Issuance of SBA Class A common stock to MI | | | | | | | (c10) | | | | | |
shareholders (5.25 million shares at $50.16) | | $ | 53 | | | $ | 263,288 | | | $ | 263,341 | |
(a1) Issuance of debt to finance transaction: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Bridge Loan | | | | | | | | | | | 400,000 | |
Revolving credit facility | | | | | | | | | | | 448,324 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total consideration | | | | | | | | | | $ | 1,111,665 | |
Plus: Contingent consideration | | | | | | | | | | | 6,904 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total Consideration | | | | | | | | | | $ | 1,118,569 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The purchase price is approximately $1.1 billion, consisting of $848.3 million of cash and the issuance of 5.25 million shares of SBA common stock. SBA is not offering any type of options to M1/M2 members. As a result of the transaction, $321.3 million in pre-existing M1/M2 long-term debt was paid off with the proceeds received by SBA. Therefore, no debt was assumed by SBA as a result of the transaction.
5. Estimate of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities to be Assumed
A preliminary estimate of the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed by SBA in the acquisition, reconciled to the estimate of consideration expected to be transferred is provided below. The final valuation of net assets acquired is expected to be completed as soon as possible after the acquisition date.

Total consideration | | $ | 1,118,569 | |
| | | | |
At the date of acquisition, both SBA and M1/M2 agreed to exclude certain Towers - CIP assets from the group of purchased assets as such assets were not completed. Of the $15.8 million in Towers - CIP as of December 31, 2011, SBA selected $6.9 million of those towers to remain included within the purchased assets, cash consideration for which was not exchanged at acquisition and therefore represents a liability post-acquisition until the towers are completed and transferred to SBA. The $6.9 million in Towers - CIP assets is presented within property and equipment, net and other current liabilities in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The remaining $8.9 million in CIP Towers was excluded from the purchased assets for this acquisition.

(b2) | The components of the estimated fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets are as follows: |
| | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | Estimated Fair Value | | | Estimated Useful Lives (Years) | |
| | |
Customer Relationship | | $ | 443,573 | | | | 15 | |
Network Locations | | | 100,200 | | | | 15 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 543,773 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
As of the effective time of the merger, identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value and these acquired assets could include assets that are not intended to be used or sold or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, it is assumed that all assets will be used and that all assets will be used in a manner that represents the highest and best use of those assets, but it is not assumed that any market participant synergies will be achieved. The consideration of synergies has been excluded because they are not considered to be factually supportable, which is a required condition for these pro forma adjustments.
For purposes of the preliminary allocation, SBA has estimated a fair value for M1/M2’s intangible asset related to customer relationships and network locations based on the net present value of the projected income stream of those intangible assets. The fair value adjustment is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years.
(b3) | Adjustment to record the differences between the preliminary fair values and the historical carrying amounts of M1/M2’s deferred revenues including the elimination of deferred revenue balances where no future performance obligation existed. The preliminary fair values represent amounts equivalent to the estimated costs plus an appropriate profit margin to fulfill the obligations assumed for deferred revenue. The estimated amounts presented for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet are based upon the deferred revenue balances of M1/M2 as of December 31, 2011. |
6. Pro Forma Adjustments
This note should be read in conjunction with Note 1. Description of Transaction; Note 2. Basis of Presentation; Note 4. Estimate of Consideration Expected to be Transferred; and Note 5. Estimate of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities to be Assumed. Adjustments included in the column under the heading “Pro Forma Adjustments”, “Acquisition Adjustments”, and “Debt Issuance Adjustments” represent the following:
(c) | To record the cash used in the acquisition excluding the cash portion of acquisition purchase price and to record estimated payments which are estimated to be $15.8 million and are assumed to be made on or before the acquisition including $5.5 million of fees associated with the bridge loan and $10.3 million for advisory, legal, regulatory and valuation costs associated with the transaction. These costs are expected to be incurred by SBA and are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as a reduction to cash and retained earnings and SBA views these expenses as non recurring. |
(c1) | On April 2, 2012, SBA entered into a $400 million bridge term facility with certain lenders in connection with the financing of a portion of the purchase consideration expected to be transferred in the acquisition. The bridge term facility has a term of 364 days from the effective time of the merger and provides SBA with unsecured financing in a total principal amount up to $400 million. The bridge term facility is expected to be refinanced using proceeds obtained through permanent financing from issuances of SBA debt and/or tower asset sales. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, SBA has assumed that it would borrow $400 million available under the bridge term facility to partially fund the acquisition. In the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the borrowings under the bridge term facility are presented as long-term debt under the assumption that SBA has the intent and ability to replace the bridge term facility with permanent, long-term debt financing. In addition, to fund the remaining cash promised for consideration, SBA drew down $448 million from its pre-existing revolving credit facility. |
SBA estimates additional interest expense of $9 million in 2011 associated with the incremental debt SBA will issue in connection with the acquisition after retiring M1/M2 existing debt. In addition, $5.0 million of the write off of deferred financing fees was incurred as a cost of retiring M1/M2 debt.
| • | | Additional interest expense of approximately $15 million in 2011 based on a $400 million bridge loan facility that SBA will issue to partially fund the acquisition. The debt security accrues interest at LIBOR + 3.5% and has a one year maturity. For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined income statement we used LIBOR rate of .24125%. For the purposes of the pro forma condensed combined income statement, it has been assumed the company will draw down on its $500 million revolving credit facility and therefore will incur additional expense of approximately $8.4 million in 2011 with an interest rate of 2.13% and a June 30, 2016 maturity date. This interest expense total of $23.4 million will be offset by the elimination of M1/M2’s interest expense of $14.4 million in 2011 due to the retirement of M1/M2’s outstanding debt. |
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The impact to deferred financing costs, interest expense and equity are summarized below.
(c2) | Net deferred financing fees associated with the $400 million bridge loan will increase by $5.5 million at December 31, 2011. However, to appropriately reflect the amortization of the newly incurred deferred financing fees, $5.5 million will be recorded to amortization expense for the period ended December 31, 2011. |

In accordance with Section 2.4(b) of the purchase agreement, SBA’s acquisition of M1/M2 has been designated as an asset purchase. Therefore, the appropriate tax treatment for this transaction has no impact on deferred taxes and will not result in a deferred tax asset or liability.
(c6) | To record estimated tax impact of the acquisition on the income statement related to the pro forma adjustments. SBA has assumed a 1.7% combined statutory federal and state tax rate when estimating the tax effects of the adjustments to the income statement. |

7. Forward-looking Statements
These Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate” and similar expressions. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the acquisition of M1/M2 by SBA, including future financial and operating results, the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based largely on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Neither SBA nor M1/M2 undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the possibility that the expected synergies from SBA’s acquisition of M1/M2 will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period, due to, among other things, the impact of industry regulation and pending legislation that could affect the respective industry; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; disruption from the acquisition making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; SBA’s and M1/M2’s ability to accurately predict future market conditions; and the exposure to litigation and/or regulatory actions. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in SBA’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2011, included in the “Risk Factors” section of each of this filing, and SBA’s other filings with the SEC available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).
