Telecommunications GlobeNewswire 2012-07-11
BOCA RATON, Fla., July 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SBA Communications
Corporation (Nasdaq:SBAC) ("SBA") announced today that its wholly owned
subsidiary SBA Telecommunications, Inc. ("Telecommunications"), has
priced an offering of $800 million of senior notes due 2020, which was
upsized from the previously announced $650 million (the "Notes"). The
Notes will be guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by SBA. SBA
expects the closing of the Notes to occur on July 13, 2012. The Notes
will have an interest rate of 5.750% and will be issued at a price of
100% of their face value.
Telecommunications intends to use the net proceeds from this offering
to (1) repay all amounts outstanding under a bridge loan under which a
subsidiary of SBA borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $400.0
million in connection with the Mobilitie transaction and (2) repay all
amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining
proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
The Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United
States under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not
been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws,
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Telecommunications
and SBA have agreed to file a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to which
Telecommunications will either offer to exchange the Notes for
substantially similar registered notes or register the resale of the
Notes. This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to
sell any of the Notes or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes,
nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
