On September 25, 2009, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SBA Communications Corporation (the “Company”) appointed George R. Krouse Jr. to serve as a member of the Board effective as of October 28, 2009. Mr. Krouse will serve as a Class I director of the Company for a term expiring at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at which time his continued Board service will be subject to renomination and shareholder approval. The Board also appointed Mr. Krouse as a member of its Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The selection of Mr. Krouse was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person. In addition, Mr. Krouse is not a party to any transaction, or any proposed transaction, required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Krouse will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s previously disclosed compensation programs for non-management directors as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and enter into an indemnification agreement as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2009. Accordingly, Mr. Krouse will receive a grant of stock options for 25,000 shares of Class A common stock upon the effective date of his appointment to the Board.
