Monitor future commercial paper issuances for actual drawdowns, which would signal near-term cash needs or refinancing activity. The program provides flexibility but does not change the current leverage profile until utilized.

Executive Summary
SBA Communications established a $2.5 billion commercial paper program on September 25, 2026, allowing it to issue short-term, unsecured notes with maturities up to 397 days for general corporate purposes. This provides the company with an additional, flexible source of liquidity alongside its existing credit facilities, but does not represent new debt drawn at this time.
Key Facts
- SBA Communications established a commercial paper program on September 25, 2026.
- The program allows up to $2.5 billion in aggregate principal outstanding at any one time.
- Notes are short-term, unsecured, with maturities not exceeding 397 days.
- Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
- Notes rank pari passu with other unsecured unsubordinated debt and are structurally subordinated to subsidiary-level debt.
- No notes have been issued yet; the program is an authorization to borrow, repay, and reborrow.
Financial Impact
Up to $2.5 billion in additional unsecured short-term borrowing capacity established; no debt drawn at filing.
Risk Factors
- If drawn, the notes are unsecured and structurally subordinated to subsidiary-level secured tower revenue notes, increasing leverage if used for large-scale acquisitions.
- Commercial paper markets can tighten during credit events; a large draw during a market disruption could expose SBA to refinancing risk if the program is used.
