对于前瞻性陈述的警语

Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.（本「信托」、「房地产投资信托」、「公司」、「WHLR」、「我们」、「我们的」或「我们」）的第10-Q表格（「10-Q表格」）包含根据1933年证券法第27A条（经修订）和1934年证券交易法第21E条（经修订）的「前瞻性陈述」，受风险、不确定性和其他因素的影响，这些因素可能导致实际结果、表现或成就与未来结果、表现或被该等前瞻性陈述明示或暗示的成就有实质不同。基于某些假设并描述公司未来计划、战略和期望的前瞻性陈述，通常使用「可能」、「将」、「应」、「估计」、「项目」、「预期」、「相信」、「期望」、「打算」、「未来」等字词，或其否定形式。这些陈述并非未来表现的保证，受风险、不确定性和其他因素的影响，其中一些超出我们的控制范围，难以预测，可能导致实际结果与前瞻性陈述中所表达或预测的结果存在实质不同。

    

预测性陈述在发表时可能属实，但最终可能被证明是不正确或虚假的。请勿过度依赖预测性陈述，因为这仅反映我们管理层截至本表格10-Q日期的看法。我们不承担更新或修订预测性陈述以反映变更假设、突发事件发生或未来营运结果变化的义务。

 

可能导致实际结果、表现或成就与本10-Q表格中所做的任何前瞻性陈述有重大不同的因素包括但不限于：

•零售空间的使用和需求；

•一般和经济业务条件，包括影响个人在零售购物中心消费能力以及我们能够租赁房产的速度和其他条款。

•公司租户的亏损或破产；

•经济和房地产业状况 位于东中部、东南部和东北部地区，我们的物业在地理上集中；

•消费支出和信心趋势;

•资本的可用性、条款和投入方式；

•本公司普通股票（每股面值$0.01）实质稀释和市值急剧下跌，乃源于我们的D系列累积可转换优先股（「D系列优先股」）持有人行使赎回权以及对我们截至2031年到期的7.00%次顺位可转换票据（「可转换票据」）转换价格的下调，这两者均已发生并预计将继续发生；

•鉴于我们普通股的交易波动，我们是否注册了足够数量的普通股，以覆盖所有由持有人提交给我们的D系列优先股赎回。

•我们竞争的程度和性质;

•政府监管、会计准则、税率和类似事项的变化；

•公司租户和其他第三方履行与公司的各自合同安排下义务的能力和意愿。

•公司的租户愿意并有能力在到期后续租

•公司在租约到期后重新出租其物业，并在公司行使替换现有租户权利时以相同或更好条件出租的能力，以及公司在替换现有租户时可能承担的义务;

•一般诉讼风险；

•股东诉讼风险由公司前首席执行官丹尼尔·科沙巴提起，可能导致较高的军工股成本、赔偿和责任，并使管理层的注意力从公司的运行中转移；

•融资风险，例如公司无法在市场波动或不稳定性导致无法获得有利条件的新融资或再融资，以及由于利率和其他因素的变化导致公司借款成本增加；

•公司杠杆对经营绩效的影响；

•我们成功执行战略性或必要资产收购和剥离的能力；

•竞争风险;

•与公司在中大西洋、东南部和东北部地区物业的地理集中风险相关；

•公司恢复符合纳斯达克资本市场（"纳斯达克"）挂牌标准并维持在该市场的挂牌能力;

•电子商务对我们租户业务的影响；以及

•由于市场情况、竞争、未投保损失、税收变化或其他适用法律的变化而无法产生足够现金流。

在阅读本表格10-Q中的前瞻性陈述时，应结合这些因素进行理解。除了根据联邦证券法规定披露重大信息的持续义务外，公司不承担公开发布任何对前瞻性陈述的修订以反映本日期之后的事件或情况，或反映意外事件发生的义务。上述所有因素难以预测，包含可能对公司实际业绩产生重大影响的不确定性因素，且可能超出公司的控制范围。新因素会不时出现，公司管理层无法预测所有此类因素或评估每个因素对公司业务的影响。因此，不能保证公司当前的预期会实现。

1. Business and Organization

Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on June 23, 2011. The Trust serves as the general partner of Wheeler REIT, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), which was formed as a Virginia limited partnership on April 5, 2012. At September 30, 2024, the Company owned 99.69% of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2024, the Trust owned and operated seventy-three retail shopping centers and two undeveloped properties in South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Florida, Connecticut, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Maryland and West Virginia. These centers and undeveloped properties include the properties acquired through the Cedar Acquisition (defined below). Accordingly, the use of the word "Company", "we," "our" or "us" refers to the Trust and consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.

The Trust through the Operating Partnership owns Wheeler Interests ("WI") and Wheeler Real Estate, LLC ("WRE") (WRE and, together with WI, the "Operating Companies"). The Operating Companies are taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") to accommodate serving the non-REIT properties since applicable REIT regulations consider the income derived from these services to be "bad" income subject to taxation. The regulations allow for costs incurred by the Company commensurate with the services performed for the non-REIT properties to be allocated to a TRS.

Acquisition of Cedar Realty Trust

On August 22, 2022, the Company completed a merger transaction (the "Cedar Acquisition") with Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. ("Cedar"). As a result of the merger, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cedar’s common stock, which ceased to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Through this acquisition, the Company acquired an additional 19 retail shopping centers in the Northeast. Cedar’s outstanding 7.25% Series B Preferred Stock and 6.50% Series C Preferred Stock ("Cedar Series C Preferred Stock") remain outstanding and continue to trade on the NYSE. As a result of the Cedar Acquisition, Cedar became a subsidiary of the REIT.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. All material balances and transactions between the consolidated entities of the Company have been eliminated. All per share amounts, common units and shares outstanding, warrants, and conversion features of the Convertible Notes for all periods presented reflect our August 2023 Reverse Stock Split, May 2024 Reverse Stock Split, June 2024 Reverse Stock Split and September 2024 Reverse Stock Split, which took effect on August 17, 2023, May 16, 2024, June 27, 2024 and September 19, 2024, respectively. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K").

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q include Cedar starting from the date of the Cedar Acquisition. We have determined that this acquisition is not a variable interest entity, as defined under the consolidation topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), and we evaluated such entity under the voting model and concluded we should consolidate the entity. Under the voting model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we, directly or indirectly, have greater than 50% of the voting rights and that other equity holders do not have substantive participating rights.

4. Investment Securities - Related Party

In 2023, the Company subscribed for an investment in the amount of $10.0 million for limited partnership interests in Stilwell Activist Investments, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SAI"). On June 1, 2024, the Company subscribed for an additional investment in the amount of $0.5 million for limited partnership interests in SAI. The investment objective of SAI is to seek long-term capital appreciation through investing primarily in publicly-traded undervalued financial institutions or businesses with a strong financial component, or the securities of any of them, and pursuing an activist shareholder agenda with respect to those institutions.

Stilwell Value LLC ("Value") is the general partner of SAI. Joseph Stilwell, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, is the managing member of Value and a limited partner in funds advised by Value. Additionally, E.J. Borrack, a member of the Board of Directors, serves as the General Counsel to Value and its affiliated entities, including SAI and related funds, and is a limited partner in one of the funds advised by Value.

The Company’s subscriptions were approved by the disinterested directors of the Company, and, after the formation of the Related Person Transactions Committee, by that Committee.

A portion of SAI's underlying investments are in the Company's own equity and debt securities.

SAI records investment transactions based on trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income, net of withholding taxes, and dividend expense are recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income and expense are recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums to the face amount of debt securities are accreted and amortized using the effective interest rate method over the lives of the respective debt securities.

A limited partner in SAI may request a withdrawal after the expiration of the first anniversary of the date its investment was accepted into SAI. After the expiration of this lock-up period, withdrawal requests can be made quarterly and are generally paid out on a quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the SAI limited partnership agreement.

In consideration for management, administrative and operational services, limited partners of SAI pay a management fee to an affiliate of Value each calendar quarter, in advance, equal to 0.25% (an annualized rate of 1%) of each limited partner’s capital account balance on the first day of such calendar quarter. In addition, as of the last day of each specified performance period, an incentive allocation of 20% of the amount by which the "positive performance change," if any, that has been credited to the capital account of a limited partner during such period exceeds any positive balance in such limited partner’s "carryforward account," is debited from the limited partner’s capital account and is simultaneously credited to the capital account of Value.

The Company’s SAI investment is accounted for under the equity method and measured at net asset value as a practical expedient and has not been classified within the fair value hierarchy. All gains and losses, realized and unrealized, and fees are recorded through "gains (losses) on investment securities, net" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s SAI investment was $12.0 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the gain on investment securities, net was $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, gain on investment securities, net was $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Convertible Notes

On January 17, 2024, the Company paid down $0.6 million of the Convertible Notes through an open market purchase of 23,280 units at a total purchase price of $1.3 million. As a result of that transaction, the Company recognized a $0.7 million loss, which represents the fair value of the purchase price over the amount of principal reduction. The loss is included in "other expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 28,105 shares of its Common Stock, having an aggregate fair value of $0.4 million, to settle conversion requests of the holders of the Convertible Notes comprising an aggregate principal amount of $0.1 million, which resulted in an aggregate net loss on conversion of Convertible Notes of $0.4 million.

As of September 30, 2024, the conversion price for the Convertible Notes was approximately $2.37 per share of the Company’s Common Stock (approximately 10.53 shares of Common Stock for each $25.00 of principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted).

(1) Shares issued as interest payment on Convertible Notes.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate secured term loans was estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate secured term loans, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, was $470.1 million and $420.8 million, respectively, and the carrying value of such loans, was $456.6 million and $451.2 million, respectively.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes was estimated using available market information. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Convertible Notes, which were determined to be Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, was $183.4 million and $75.7 million, respectively, and the carrying value, was $26.3 million and $26.4 million, respectively.

7. Derivative Liabilities

Fair Value of Warrants

The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation method to calculate the fair value of the warrants noted below. Significant observable and unobservable inputs include stock price, conversion price, risk-free rate, term, likelihood of an event of contractual conversion and expected volatility. The Black-Scholes valuation method simulation is a Level 3 valuation technique because it requires the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to observable market indicators. The warrants noted below contain terms and features that give rise to derivative liability classification.

As of the close of business on March 12, 2024 (the third anniversary of the issuance of that certain Common Stock Purchase Warrant, dated March 12, 2021, to the holders thereof (the "Warrant")), the exercise price of the Warrant was reset to an amount equal to the product of the Common Stock volume weighted average price as provided under the Warrant, multiplied by a factor of 1.25 for Tranche A, 1.50 for Tranche B and 2.50 for Tranche C: approximately $83.43, $100.12, and $166.87, respectively.

Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock outstanding at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

Warrant Name						Warrants						Exercise Price						Expiration Date
Wilmington Warrant Tranche A						142						$	83.43					3/12/2026
Wilmington Warrant Tranche B						118						100.12						3/12/2026
Wilmington Warrant Tranche C						35						166.87						3/12/2026

In measuring the warrant liability, the Company used the following inputs:

			September 30, 2024						December 31, 2023
Common Stock price			$8.09						$0.31 (1)
Weighted average contractual term to maturity (years)			1.5 years						2.2 years
Range of expected market volatility %			247.25%						137.71%
Range of risk free interest rate			3.82%						4.23%
(1) Common stock price as of December 31, 2023 and was not restated for any subsequent stock splits.

Fair Value of Conversion Features Related to Convertible Notes

The Company identified certain embedded derivatives related to the conversion features of the Convertible Notes. In accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the embedded conversion options contained within the Convertible Notes were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through each reporting date. The Company utilized a binomial lattice model to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivatives. Significant observable and unobservable inputs include conversion price, stock price, dividend rate, expected volatility, risk-free rate, optional conversion price and term. The binomial lattice model is a Level 3 valuation technique because it requires the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to observable market indicators.

In measuring the embedded derivative liability, the Company used the following inputs:

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

The Company is the lessee under several ground leases and for its corporate headquarters; all are accounted for as operating leases. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 5 to 50 years. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term of our leases was 36 and 36 years, respectively. Rent expense under the operating lease agreements was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Rent expense under the operating lease agreements was $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Litigation

    

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes. The Company believes that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position or its results of operations. The Company records a liability when it considers the loss probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In addition, the below legal proceedings are in process:

On April 8, 2022, several purported holders of Cedar’s outstanding preferred stock filed a putative class action complaint against Cedar, Cedar's of Directors prior to the Merger, and WHLR in Montgomery County Circuit Court, Maryland entitled Sydney, et al. v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., (Case No. C-15-CV-22-001527).

On May 6, 2022, the Plaintiffs in Sydney filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. Also on May, 6, 2022, a purported holder of Cedar’s outstanding preferred stock filed a separate putative class action complaint against Cedar and Cedar's Board of Directors prior to the Cedar Acquisition in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, entitled Kim v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 22-cv-01103. On May 11, 2022, Cedar, former Board of Directors of Cedar and the Company removed the Sydney action to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Case No. 8:22-cv-01142-GLR. On May 16, 2022, the court ordered that a hearing on the

Sydney Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction be held on June 22, 2022. On June 2, 2022, the Plaintiffs in Kim also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. The court consolidated the motions for preliminary injunction.

On June 23, 2022, following a hearing, the court issued an order denying both motions for preliminary injunction, holding that the Plaintiffs in both cases were unlikely to succeed on the merits and that Plaintiffs had not established that they would suffer irreparable harm if the injunction was denied.

By order dated July 11, 2022, the court consolidated the Sydney and Kim cases and set an August 24, 2022 deadline for the Plaintiffs in both cases to file a consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on August 24, 2022. The amended complaint alleges on behalf of a putative class of holders of Cedar's preferred stock, among other things, claims for breach of contract against Cedar and Cedar's former Board of Directors with respect to the articles supplementary governing the terms of Cedar's preferred stock, breach of fiduciary duty against Cedar's former Board of Directors, and tortious interference and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty against the Company. On October 7, 2022, Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. Plaintiffs opposed the motion to dismiss and filed a motion to certify a question of law to Maryland’s Supreme Court. On August 1, 2023, the court issued a decision and order granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss.

The Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Case No. 23-1905. On September 4, 2024, the Fourth Circuit affirmed the District Court order dismissing the complaint.

Daniel Khoshaba v. Joseph D. Stilwell, et al., Civil Action No. 2:24CV237 in the United States District Court for the Easter District of Virginia. On April 10, 2024, Daniel Khoshaba, a holder of the Company's Common Stock and former CEO of the Company, filed a derivative action on behalf of the Company and putative class action on behalf of common stockholders who had not purchased the Convertible Notes in a rights offering alleging that the current and certain former directors of the Company breached their duty to the Company and its common stockholders, and that certain of those directors and an officer of the Company were unjustly enriched. The complaint primarily asserts the Defendants failed to take sufficient action to mitigate the potential dilution that could be caused by the redemption rights of holders of Series D Preferred Stock and that the Defendants should not have authorized dividends on the Convertible Notes sold in the rights offering to be paid in Series D Preferred Stock. The Company is named as a nominal defendant in the case and no claims are asserted against it. The Company is providing indemnification (including legal fees and costs) to the directors and officer Defendants. On June 10, 2024, the individual Defendants and the other parties filed motions to dismiss the complaint. On September 13, 2024, the District Court issued an opinion (i) granting the directors’ motion to dismiss the derivative claims, finding no demand was made and that demand would not have been futile; (ii) granting the motion to dismiss the unjust enrichment claim against the directors based on a failure to plead facts supporting the elements of such a claim, and (ii) denying the motions to dismiss on all other grounds. At this juncture, discovery is ongoing and the outcome of the litigation remains uncertain.

2024 Reverse Stock Splits

On March 5, 2024, in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law, our Board of Directors declared the 2024 Reverse Stock Splits advisable, and directed that they be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for consideration. The Company’s stockholders approved the 2024 Reverse Stock Splits, including such other reverse stock splits as may be determined by the Board of Directors through March 31, 2025, at the annual meeting held on May 6, 2024.

The May 2024, June 2024, and September 2024 Reverse Stock Splits were effective on May 16, June 27, and September 19, 2024, respectively, at the reverse stock split ratios of one-for-24, one-for-five, and one-for-three, respectively. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the 2024 Reverse Stock Splits. Stockholders who would have otherwise been issued a fractional share of the Company’s Common Stock as a result of each of the 2024 Reverse Stock Splits instead received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to the applicable fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq on each effective date thereof, without any interest.

All share and share-related information presented in this Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements, has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the decreased number of shares resulting from the 2024 Reverse Stock Splits, unless otherwise noted.

Series D Preferred Stock - Redeemable Preferred Stock

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had 6,000,000 authorized shares of Series D Preferred Stock, without par value with a $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $96.9 million and $97.1 million in aggregate liquidation value, respectively.

After September 21, 2023, each holder of the Series D Preferred Stock may, at such holder's option, request that the Company redeem any or all of such holder's shares on a monthly basis (each redemption date, a "Holder Redemption Date") at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to and including the Holder Redemption Date, payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock, or any combination thereof, at the Company's option. Redemptions commenced on September 22, 2023, and the first Holder Redemption Date was October 5, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company processed redemptions for an aggregate of 232,509 shares of Series D Preferred Stock from the holders thereof. Accordingly, the Company issued 475,361 shares of Common Stock in settlement of an aggregate redemption price of approximately $9.0 million.

The value of the Common Stock issued to holders redeeming their Series D Preferred Stock is the volume weighted average price (the "VWAP") per share of our Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the Holder Redemption Date as reported on Nasdaq. During the three and nine months ended September 30,

2024, the Company has realized a gain of $2.5 million and $2.7 million in the aggregate, respectively, due to the closing price of the Common Stock on the last VWAP date differing from the VWAP used to calculate the shares issued in each redemption round.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had received requests to redeem 85,019 shares of Series D Preferred Stock with respect to the October 2024 Holder Redemption Date. As such, the redemption of these shares of the Series D Preferred Stock is considered certain at September 30, 2024 and the liquidation value associated with these shares of $3.3 million is presented as a liability.

At September 21, 2024, the annual dividend rate increased by 2% of the liquidation preference per annum to 14.75%.

There were no repurchases of noncontrolling interests in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

On September 25, 2024, the Company announced and commenced a "modified Dutch auction" tender offer to purchase up to an aggregate amount of $9.0 million of shares of the Cedar Series C Preferred Stock at a price of not less than $13.25 nor greater than $15.50 per Cedar Series C Preferred Stock, to the sellers in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest (the "Cedar Tender Offer").

See Note 12 for additional details.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock.

The following table summarizes the potential dilution of conversion of Operating Partnership common units ("Common Units"), the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), Series D Preferred Stock, warrants and Convertible Notes into the Company's Common Stock. These have been excluded from the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

			September 30, 2024
			Outstanding shares						Potential Dilutive Shares
Common units			13						13
Series B Preferred Stock			3,379,142						587
Series D Preferred Stock			2,467,625						22,449,082
Warrants to purchase Common Stock			—						295
Convertible Notes			—						13,004,263

Excepted Holder Limits

On December 4, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors, under the terms of the Company's charter (the "Charter"), created a Capital Stock Excepted Holder Limit of 55% and a Common Stock Excepted Holder Limit of 86% for each of SAI, Stilwell Activist Fund, L.P., Stilwell Value Partners VII, L.P., and Stilwell Associates, L.P. (collectively, the "Investors"). Joseph Stilwell, a member of our Board of Directors, is the managing member and owner of Stilwell Value LLC, which is the general partner of each of the Investors.

On December 5, 2023, the Company entered into an Excepted Holder Agreement with the Investors with respect to such limits. The Capital Stock Excepted Holder Limit provides that the Investors are exempted from the Charter’s aggregate stock ownership limit of not more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of all classes of the Company's capital stock (as calculated under the definitions of "Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit" and "Beneficial Ownership" in the Charter) and are instead subject to the percentage limit established by the Board of Directors. The Common Stock Excepted Holder Limit provides that the Investors are exempted from the Charter’s common stock ownership limit of not more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (as calculated under the definitions of "Common Stock Ownership Limit" and "Beneficial Ownership" in the Charter) and is instead subject to the percentage limit established by the Board of Directors. The Capital Stock Excepted Holder Limit and Common Stock Excepted Holder Limit will automatically terminate upon reduction of the Investors’ capital stock and Common Stock ownership below 9.8%, respectively.

(Unaudited)

In consideration of the grant of these Excepted Holder Limits, the Investors concurrently entered into a one-year letter agreement with the Company whereby each Investor agreed that it will not exercise its right to convert Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in such Investor, whether on its own or as part of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), becoming the direct or indirect “beneficial owner”, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of common equity of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of common equity of the Company that is entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Following the transfer of Common Stock to the Investors in consideration of the February 2024 Series D Preferred Stock redemptions made by the Investors, the Investors would have beneficially owned or constructively owned an amount of capital stock in excess of the Prior Excepted Holder Limits. On February 5, 2024, the Board of Directors agreed to increase the prior Excepted Holder Limits to permit this additional ownership and, accordingly, the Company entered into an amendment to the Excepted Holder Agreement with the Investors under which the Company increased the Capital Stock Excepted Holder Limit granted to Investors under the Excepted Holder Agreement to 60% and the Common Stock Excepted Holder Limit to 90%.

Company Overview

The Company, a Maryland corporation, is a fully integrated, self-managed commercial real estate investment trust that owns, leases and operates income-producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored centers. In August 2022, the Company acquired Cedar Realty Trust. As a result of that acquisition, Cedar became a subsidiary of the Company.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, owned and operated seventy-three retail shopping centers and two undeveloped properties in South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Florida, Connecticut, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Maryland and West Virginia. This list includes the properties acquired through the Cedar Acquisition.

The Company’s portfolio of properties is dependent upon regional and local economic conditions, and is geographically concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Northeast, which markets represent approximately 46%, 42% and 12% respectively, of the total annualized base rent of the properties in its portfolio as of September 30, 2024. The Company’s geographic concentration may cause it to be more susceptible to adverse developments in those markets than if it owned a more geographically diverse portfolio. Additionally, the Company’s retail shopping center properties depend on anchor stores or major tenants to attract shoppers and could be adversely affected by the loss of, or a store closure by, one or more of these tenants.

The Prospectus relates to the issuance from time to time by the Company of our Common Stock upon future redemptions and conversions of Series D Preferred Stock. The Company began issuing such Common Stock to settle monthly redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock with the August 2024 Holder Redemption Date. After the September redemptions that settled on October 7, 2024, the Company had 6,219,246 shares registered for future redemptions and conversions of Series D Preferred Stock.

Convertible Notes

On January 17, 2024, the Company paid down $0.6 million of the Convertible Notes through an open market purchase of 23,280 units at a total purchase price of $1.3 million. As a result of that transaction, the Company recognized a $0.7 million loss

which represents the fair value of the purchase price over the amount of principal reduction. The loss is included in "other expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 28,105 shares of its Common Stock, upon the conversion of Convertible Notes by certain holders thereof, which resulted in an aggregate net loss on conversion of Convertible Notes of $0.4 million.

As of September 30, 2024, the Conversion Price for the Convertible Notes was approximately $2.37 per share of the Company’s Common Stock (approximately 10.53 shares of Common Stock for each $25.00 of principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted).

Interest expense on the Convertible Notes consisted of the following (in thousands, except for shares):

For the Nine Months Ended September 30,						Series B Preferred Stock number of shares (1)						Series D Preferred Stock number of shares (1)						Convertible Note interest at 7% coupon						Fair value adjustment						Interest expense
2024						—						109,676						$	1,624					$	948					$	2,572
2023						—						160,455						$	1,718					$	851					$	2,569

Noncontrolling Interests - Consolidated Subsidiary

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Cedar repurchased and retired 77,075 shares of Cedar Series C Preferred Stock in a series of repurchase transactions. The Cedar Series C Preferred Stock was repurchased for an aggregate of $1.0 million at an average price of $13.40 per share, representing a premium to the book value of $9.75 per share. The repurchase of the noncontrolling interests caused the recognition of $0.3 million deemed distributions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. There were no repurchases of noncontrolling interests in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

On September 25, 2024, the Company announced and commenced a "modified Dutch auction" tender offer to purchase up to an aggregate amount of $9.0 million of shares of the Cedar Series C Preferred Stock at a price of not less than $13.25 nor greater than $15.50 per Cedar Series C Preferred Stock, to the sellers in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. Following the expiration of Tender Offer on October 24, 2024, Cedar accepted for purchase 688,670 shares of its Cedar Series C Preferred Stock at $14.00 per share for approximately $9.6 million in the aggregate. See Note 10 and Note 12, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Big Lots Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

On September 9, 2024, Big Lots, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Big Lots"), filed for protection under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). Big Lots leased five locations from us (collectively, the "Big Lots Leases"). At September 30, 2024, the Big Lots Leases consist of 170,725 square feet and constitute approximately 1.5% of our portfolio's annualized base rent in the aggregate. At September 30, 2024, amounts due from Big Lots were approximately $0.2 million, of which approximately $0.2 million were reserved for within our allowance for uncollectible tenant receivables.

Big Lots is entitled to certain rights under the Bankruptcy Code regarding the assumption or rejection of its leases, including the Big Lots Leases. We are currently negotiating with Big Lots on potential modifications to certain of the Big Lots Leases that may be assumed and assigned as part of the currently pending or other sale of its business. There can be no assurance that these negotiations will be successful and which Big Lots Leases, if any, will be assumed by Big Lots and assigned to a

purchaser of its business. If successful, any such modifications would not occur unless a sale of Big Lots’ business is agreed, the Bankruptcy Court approves the sale, and the sale closes. Any Big Lots Leases not assumed by Big Lots will likely be rejected, which would entitle us to a rejection damages claim.

(1) Includes the fair value adjustment for the paid-in-kind interest.

Net changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities was a $39.3 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which represents a non-cash adjustment from a change in the fair value, primarily related to the conversion rate on the Convertible Notes which can only be adjusted downward based on the redemption price(s) of the Series D Preferred Stock relative to market trade prices of the Convertible Notes and Common Stock. See Note 7 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Other expense represents expenses which are non-operating in nature. Other expenses were $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which primarily consisted of capital structure costs, including legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the 2024 Reverse Stock Splits, the registration of our Common Stock to issue in settlement of the Series D Preferred Stock redemptions and redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock by holders thereof. Other expenses were $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which primarily consisted of capital structure costs including repurchase Convertible Notes and legal and other expenses incurred in connection with redemptions by holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and August 2023 Reverse Stock Split.

Net Loss Attributable to Wheeler REIT			$	(47,083)					$	(21,132)					$	(25,951)

Revenues were higher primarily as a result of (1) an increase in tenant reimbursements of $1.7 million and (2) an increase in base rent of $0.9 million, partially offset by (3) a decrease in market lease amortization of $1.3 million and (4) a decrease in other income of $0.4 million.

Property Operating expenses were higher primarily as a result of (1) an increase in insurance of $0.2 million and (2) an increase in grounds and landscaping of $0.2 million, partially offset by (3) a decrease of $0.2 million in ground rent expense a result of the 2023 acquisition of a land parcel located on the Company's property, Devine Street and (4) a decrease of $0.1 million in real estate tax expense a result of a successful real estate tax appeal at a property.

Depreciation and amortization were lower primarily as a result of the purchase price allocation of lease intangibles due to the timing of the Cedar Acquisition, a property held for sale in 2024 and properties that were sold in 2024.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were lower primarily as a result of (1) a decrease in legal fees of $0.8 million and (2) a decrease in salaries of $0.1 million.

    

Interest expense decreased 0.4%. Below is a comparison of the components which make up interest expense (in thousands):

			Nine Months Ended September 30,												Changes
			2024						2023						Dollars						Percent
Property debt interest - excluding Cedar debt			$	12,715					$	11,850					$	865					7.3		%

Total Interest Expense			$	24,034					$	24,125					$	(91)					(0.4)		%

(1) Includes the fair value adjustment for the paid-in-kind interest.

The above increase in property debt interest inclusive of Cedar debt was $1.5 million a result of (1) an increase of $1.0 million due to an increase in the overall average interest rate and (2) an increase of $0.5 million in the average principal debt balance.

Net changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities was a $49.8 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which represents a non-cash adjustment from a change in the fair value, primarily related to the conversion rate on the Convertible Notes which can only be adjusted downward based on the redemption price(s) of the Series D Preferred Stock relative to market trade prices of the Convertible Notes and Common Stock. See Note 7 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Other expense represents expenses which are non-operating in nature. Other expenses were $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which primarily consisted of capital structure costs, including repurchase of Convertible Notes and legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the 2024 Reverse Stock Splits, the registration of our Common Stock to issue in settlement of Series D Preferred Stock redemptions and redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock by holders thereof. Other expenses were $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which primarily consisted of capital structure costs to repurchase Convertible Notes and the Exchange Offer for the Company's outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, redemptions by holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and August 2023 Reverse Stock Split.

Same-Property Net Operating Income

    

Same-property net operating income ("Same-Property NOI") is a widely-used non-GAAP financial measure for REITs. The Company believes that Same-Property NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines Same-Property NOI as property revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because Same-Property NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or capital expenditures and leasing costs and impairment charges, it provides a performance measure, that when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses Same-Property NOI to evaluate its operating performance since Same-Property NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. Properties are included in Same-Property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from Same-Property NOI.

30

---

The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is consolidated operating income. Same-Property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated operating income prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Further, Same-Property NOI is a measure for which there is no standard industry definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or reported on among the Company's peers, and thus may not provide an adequate basis for comparison among REITs.

The following table is a reconciliation of Same-Property NOI from operating income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure):

			Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
			2024						2023						2024						2023
			(in thousands, unaudited)
Operating Income			$	13,894					$	9,287					$	32,894					$	22,240

Same-Property Net Operating Income			$	14,923					$	14,468					$	45,972					$	43,720

Total Same-Property NOI was $14.9 million and $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing an increase of 3.1% due to a 1.1% increase in property revenue and a 2.4% decrease in property expenses.

Total Same-Property NOI was $46.0 million and $43.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing an increase of 5.2% primarily due to a 3.5% increase in property revenue, partially offset by a 0.6% increase in property expenses.

Funds from Operations

We use funds from operations ("FFO"), a non-GAAP measure, as an alternative measure of our operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999, April 2002 and December 2018). As defined by Nareit, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs), plus impairment of real estate related long-lived assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including us, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Accordingly, we believe FFO provides a valuable alternative measurement tool to GAAP when presenting our operating results.

We believe the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit's definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, legal settlements, non-cash amortization on loans and acquisition costs. Therefore, in addition to FFO, management uses Adjusted FFO ("AFFO"), which we define to exclude such items. Management believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining AFFO as they are not indicative of the operating performance of our assets. In

31

---

addition, we believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing us to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, there can be no assurance that AFFO presented by us is comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.

A reconciliation of net loss to FFO available to common stockholders and AFFO is shown in the table below (in thousands):

Other non-recurring and non-cash expenses are costs of the Company that we believe will not be incurred on a go-forward basis. Other non-recurring expenses were $0.0 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, a result of loan defeasance payments. Other non-recurring expenses were $0.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, a result of $1.8 million in loan defeasance payments and $0.2 million costs to demolish a decommissioned space not included in the Company's gross leasable area.

Inflation, Deflation and Economic Condition Considerations

Substantially all of the Company’s leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and many of the operating expenses it incurs. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. However, significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business. Conversely, deflation could lead to downward pressure on rents and other sources of income.

Interest rate increases could result in higher incremental borrowing costs for the Company and our tenants. The duration of the Company's indebtedness and our relatively low exposure to floating rate debt have mitigated the direct impact of inflation and interest rate increases. The degree and pace of these changes have had and may continue to have impacts on our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

---

At September 30, 2024, our consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $55.0 million compared to consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $48.9 million at September 30, 2023. Cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities were as follows (in thousands, unaudited):

			Nine Months Ended September 30,												Changes
			2024						2023						Dollars						Percent
Operating activities			$	20,588					$	15,032					$	5,556					37.0		%
Investing activities			1,562						(19,618)						21,180						108.0		%
Financing activities			(6,938)						(2,422)						(4,516)						(186.5)		%

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities increased $5.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, was $20.8 million and $15.2 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily due to (1) a $4.7 million decrease in corporate administrative expenses and other expenses and (2) a $2.3 million increase in Same-Property NOI, partially offset by (3) $1.0 million of Cedar Series C Preferred Stock repurchases and (4) a $0.4 million increase in cash paid for interest.

Investing Activities

Our cash flows from investing activities increased $21.2 million, primarily due to (1) the proceeds from the sale of Kings Plaza, Oakland Commons and Edenton Commons Land Parcel, (2) the investment subscription with SAI of $0.5 million and $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and (3) the 2023 acquisition of the St. George Plaza Land Parcel, partially offset by (4) the increase in capital expenditures of $7.0 million and proceeds from the 2023 sale of Carll's Corner Outparcel.

Financing Activities

Our cash flows used in financing activities were $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $2.4 million for the comparable period in 2023.

Financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily consisted of:

Cash inflows:

•$3.9 million 2024 loan refinancing activities, net;

•$5.2 million draw on Cedar Revolving Credit Agreement; and

•$2.5 million draw on Timpany Plaza Loan Agreement.

Cash outflows:

•$8.1 million for distributions paid on noncontrolling interests;

•$1.6 million payments for deferred financing costs;

•$5.2 million payment on Cedar Revolving Credit Agreement;

•$1.3 million repurchase of debt securities;

•$1.0 million scheduled loan principal payments on debt;

•$1.0 million repurchase of noncontrolling interests; and

•$0.4 million defeasance payments.

Financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of:

Cash inflows:

•$16.4 million 2023 loan refinancing activities, net, including loan agreement for Timpany Plaza;

Cash outflows:

•$8.1 million for distributions paid on noncontrolling interests;

•$4.4 million payments for deferred financing costs;

•$3.1 million repurchase of debt securities;

•$1.8 million defeasance payments; and

•$1.4 million scheduled loan principal payments on debt.

The Company continues to endeavor to manage its debt prudently with the objective of achieving a conservative capital structure and minimizing leverage within the Company. Our debt balances, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, consisted of the following (in thousands):

			September 30, 2024						December 31, 2023
			(unaudited)
Fixed-rate notes			$	500,331					$	495,572
Total debt			$	500,331					$	495,572

The weighted average interest rate and term of our fixed-rate debt were 5.53% and 7.8 years, respectively, at September 30, 2024. The weighted average interest rate and term of our fixed-rate debt were 5.42% and 8.4 years, respectively, at September 30, 2023. We have $1.6 million of debt maturing during the twelve months ending September 30, 2025. While we anticipate being able to refinance all the loans at reasonable market terms upon maturity, our inability to do so may materially impact our financial position and results of operations. See Note 6 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional mortgage indebtedness details.

NASDAQ Notices

On December 7, 2023, the listing qualifications staff (the "Staff") of Nasdaq notified the Company that based on the Common Stock’s bid price closing below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule") and that Company had a 180-day compliance period. This rule requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days.

On June 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying the Company that it had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

On June 28, 2024, the Staff notified the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4), which requires the Company to have a minimum of 500,000 "Publicly Held Shares" (defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5005(a)(35) as "shares not held directly or indirectly by an officer, director or any person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of the total shares outstanding") (the "Publicly Held Shares Rule"). Per the Staff's notice, the Company had until July 12, 2024 to submit to Nasdaq a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance.

On July 12, 2024, the Company timely submitted its plan of compliance to the Staff (the "Compliance Plan"). The Compliance Plan provided, among other things, that the Company believes that, following its registration of approximately 20 million shares of its Common Stock with the SEC under the Prospectus, it will issue Common Stock in settlement of Series D Preferred Stock redemptions commencing with the August 5, 2024 Holder Redemption Date in such an amount that, within the next couple of months and certainly by December 25, 2024 (which is 180 days from the date of the Staff's letter, June 28, 2024), it will have achieved compliance with the Publicly Held Shares Rule.

On July 30, 2024, the Staff provided the Company with written notice of an extension through December 25, 2024 (the "Compliance Deadline") to regain compliance with the Publicly Held Shares Rule. Per such notice, on or before the Compliance Deadline, the Company must file with the SEC and Nasdaq a public document containing its current total shares of Common Stock outstanding and a beneficial ownership table in accordance with SEC proxy rules demonstrating compliance with the Publicly Held Shares Rule.

Subsequent to July 30, 2024, the Company has issued shares of its Common Stock in settlement of the Series D Preferred Stock redemptions and upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Company believes that, following such issuances, it is now in compliance with the Publicly Held Shares Rule because all shares so issued are considered Publicly Held Shares, and when added to the Publicly Held Shares already outstanding, exceed in the aggregate the minimum of 500,000 "Publicly Held Shares" required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4). As of November 6, the Company had 1,200,110 Publicly Held Shares outstanding.

Material Cash Requirements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our expected material cash requirements for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 and thereafter are comprised of (i) contractually obligated expenditures; (ii) other essential expenditures; (iii) other investments; and (iv) repurchases of noncontrolling interests (Cedar securities, including the Cedar Tender Offer).

The primary liquidity needs of the Company, in addition to the funding of our ongoing operations, at September 30, 2024 are $1.6 million in principal and regularly scheduled payments due in the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 as described in Note 6 in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the Company has $3.1 million outstanding construction commitments at September 30, 2024.

In addition to liquidity required to fund debt payments, we may incur some level of capital expenditures during the year for our existing properties that cannot be passed on to our tenants.

To meet these future liquidity needs, the Company:

•had $37.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024;

•had $17.9 million held in lender reserves for the purpose of tenant improvements, lease commissions, real estate taxes and insurance at September 30, 2024; and

•intends to use cash generated from operations during the twelve months ending September 30, 2025.

Additionally, the Company plans to undertake measures to grow its operations and increase liquidity through delivering space currently leased but not yet occupied, backfilling vacant anchor spaces, replacing tenants who are in default of their lease terms, increasing future lease revenue through tenant improvements partially funded by restricted cash, disposition of non-core assets in the ordinary course of business and refinancing properties.

In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The Company intends to continue to operate its business in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax requirements.

Our success in executing on our strategy will dictate our liquidity needs going forward. If we are unable to execute in these areas, our ability to grow may be limited without additional capital.

Convertible Notes

The Convertible Notes have caused, and could continue to cause, substantial dilution of the Series D Preferred Stock and reduction in the value of any Series D Preferred Stock if interest thereon continues to be paid in the future in shares of Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, depending on the prices at which the ongoing monthly redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock occur, the conversion price for the Convertible Notes could continue to be repeatedly adjusted downwards, which has caused, and could continue to cause, significant downward pressure on the value of the Company’s Common Stock.

Series D Preferred Stock

As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock had an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $61.7 million, with aggregate accrued and unpaid dividends in the amount of approximately $35.2 million, for a total liquidation value of $96.9 million. After September 21, 2023, each holder of Series D Preferred Stock has the right, at such holder’s option, to request that the Company redeem any or all of such holder’s shares of Series D Preferred Stock on a monthly basis.

As the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock continue to exercise their redemption rights on a monthly basis, the Company will continue to pay the aggregate redemption price in shares of our Common Stock. The Company does not believe it is in its interests to liquidate assets or incur indebtedness to fund cash redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock and, accordingly, it has no intention of doing so. Therefore, the Company intends to continue to settle redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock in Common Stock. We believe that the issuance of Common Stock to settle redemptions in Common Stock will continue to result in a substantial dilution of the outstanding Common Stock.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 28,105 shares of its Common Stock, having an aggregate fair value of $0.4 million, to settle conversion requests by certain holders thereof comprising an aggregate principal amount of $0.1 million. The Company determined the conversion price on each conversion date in accordance with Section 14.02 (Optional Conversion) of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. Each conversion settled in accordance with customary settlement cycles. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds as a result of any such conversion, and the Convertible Notes that were converted have been retired and cancelled.

The Company issued the Common Stock in these conversions in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act on the basis that such issuance of Common Stock constituted an exchange with an existing holder of the Company’s securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such transaction.
