Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d)

On April 6, 2015, SBA Communications Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Mary S. Chan to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective May 1, 2015. Ms. Chan will serve as a Class I director for a term expiring at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at which time she will stand for re-election. Concurrent with her appointment, the Board will be expanded to eight members. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Board has not yet determined on which committee or committees of the Board Ms. Chan will serve.

The Board has determined that Ms. Chan qualifies as independent under the independence standards set forth in the NASDAQ listing standards. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Chan and any other persons with respect to her appointment as a director. Neither Ms. Chan nor any immediate family member of Ms. Chan has been a participant in any transaction or currently proposed transaction with the Company that is reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Ms. Chan will participate in the standard non-employee director compensation arrangements described under the heading “Director Compensation” in our Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2015. We also plan to enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Chan, the form of which was previously filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

A copy of the press release announcing Ms. Chan’s appointment to the Board is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1.
