Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 23, 2006, SBA Communications Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with AAT Holdings, LLC (the “Selling Shareholder”) and Lehman Brothers Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives of the underwriters comprised of themselves, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Janco Partners, Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to which the Selling Shareholder will sell to the Underwriters 9,171,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at $20.3905 per share. The public offering price of the shares is $21.13. The shares are being issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-133303) (the “Registration Statement”), which became effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Company’s prospectus, dated April 14, 2006, as supplemented by the Company’s prospectus supplements, dated May 17, 2006 and May 23, 2006, respectively, each as filed with the SEC. The Selling Shareholder has also granted the Underwriters a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1,375,650 shares of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company and certain of its directors have agreed not to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any shares, or enter into any similar transaction for a period of 30 days from May 23, 2006, except as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers, Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., on behalf of the Underwriters. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Underwriting Agreement and the opinion of Akerman Senterfitt, relating to the legality of the Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Shareholder in the offering, are included as Exhibits 1.1 and 5.1 to this Form 8-K and are hereby incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.

An affiliate of Lehman Brothers is a lender under the Company’s $160 million senior revolving credit facility. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. was one of the joint dealer managers and joint solicitation agents for the tender offers and consent solicitations relating to the 9 3/4% senior discount notes and the 8 1/2% senior notes and served as a financial advisor on the Company’s acquisition of AAT Communications Corp. An affiliate of J.P. Morgan is a lender under the Company’s $1.1 billion term loan. In connection with these transactions, Lehman Brothers and J.P.
