Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On July 30, 2009, the Board of Directors of SBA Communications Corporation (the “Company”) adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws for the Company, effective upon adoption. The principal changes effected by the adoption of the Amended and Restated Bylaws were to: (1) expand the type of information that has to be provided by a shareholder submitting a director nomination or other proposal and with respect to any person nominated to serve as a director to include derivative instruments and other interests in the Company that such person may hold, (2) clarify the procedures regarding advance notice provisions and that these provisions are the exclusive means by which a shareholder can make director nominations or submit other business for consideration at a meeting of shareholders, (3) modify the date from which the advance notice timeframe is calculated to the previous year’s annual meeting rather than to the mailing date of the proxy statement for such meeting, and (4) update the notice provisions for annual or special meetings and the obligation to deliver financial statements to reflect revisions to the Florida Business Corporation Act that went into effect in June 2009 to permit the Company to take advantage of Rule 14a-16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the e-proxy rules).

The description above is qualified in its entirety by the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.5A and is hereby incorporated by reference.
