Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On October 5, 2004, SBA Communications Corporation agreed to repurchase $3.0 million of our 10 1/4% senior notes plus accrued interest in exchange for 487,000 shares of our common stock in a negotiated transaction that will be settled on October 8, 2004. On October 6, 2004, we agreed to repurchase $3.0 million of our 10 1/4% senior notes plus accrued interest in exchange for 483,000 shares of our common stock in a negotiated transaction that will be settled on October 12, 2004. On October 8, 2004, we agreed to repurchase $2.5 million of our 10 1/4% senior notes plus accrued interest in exchange for 393,000 shares of our common stock in a negotiated transaction that will settle on October 14, 2004. Subsequent to the Form 8-K we filed on September 21, 2004, after giving effect to these transactions, we have repurchased a total of $13.7 million of our 10 1/4% senior notes in a number of open-market and negotiated transactions. In the aggregate, we paid cash of $3.4 million plus accrued interest and issued 1.7 million shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2004, as adjusted for these transactions, we would have had $270.0 million of our 10 1/4% senior notes and 61.2 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

In order to manage our significant levels of indebtedness and to ensure continued compliance with our financial covenants we may explore a number of alternatives, including selling certain assets or lines of business, issuing equity, repurchasing, restructuring or refinancing or exchanging for equity some or all of our debt or pursuing other financial alternatives, and we may from time to time implement one or more of these alternatives. One or more of the alternatives may include the possibility of issuing additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock, or converting existing indebtedness into shares of common stock, any of which would dilute our existing shareholders. We cannot assure you that any of these strategies can be consummated, or if consummated, would effectively address the risks associated with our significant level of indebtedness.

 

The shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
