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

On January 26, 2012, the Board of Directors of SBA Communications Corporation (the “Company”) adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws for the Company, effective upon adoption. The Bylaws were amended to provide that directors will be elected by a majority of the votes cast in uncontested elections. In contested elections, the vote standard will continue to be a plurality of votes cast. A director who is not elected by a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election must tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, taking into consideration the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, will then decide whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken.

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.
