Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On July 28, 2015, the Board of Directors (the Board) of SBA Communications Corporation (the Company or SBA) amended and restated the Companys bylaws (the Bylaws) to adopt a new proxy access right for eligible shareholders effective immediately. The amendments were undertaken in response to the Companys engagement with its shareholders regarding proxy access in connection with the Companys 2015 annual meeting held on May 21, 2015 and the resulting vote approving the Companys proposal to adopt a proxy access bylaw provision with the terms included the adopted Bylaws.
Article I, Section 20 has been added to the Bylaws, and related amendments were made to the advance notice provisions in Section 19 of Article I of the Bylaws, to permit an eligible shareholder, or an eligible group of up to 10 shareholders, owning 5% or more of the Companys outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the Companys proxy materials, directors constituting up to 20% of the Board, subject to the limitations set forth in the Bylaws and the eligibility, procedural and disclosure requirements referred to in Article I, Section 20 of the Bylaws.
The foregoing description of the Companys Bylaws is qualified in all respects by reference to the text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
