| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On January 21, 2020, SBA Communications Corporation (“SBA”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) under which SBA agreed to sell $1.0 billion 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 February 4, 2020. The Notes will have an interest rate of 3.875% and will be issued at a price of 100% of their face value. SBA intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to redeem all $750 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% senior notes due 2022, and to repay amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility under its Senior Credit Agreement, which as of January 16, 2020 had an outstanding principal balance of $440.0 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 may hold a portion of the 4.875% senior notes due 2022 from time to time and, accordingly, may receive a portion of the net proceeds from the offering. 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.
