Activist investor Stilwell Group agreed to extend its restriction on converting $25M of 7% Notes into common stock until December 7, 2028 — two years beyond the prior deadline. In exchange, Wheeler granted registration rights covering 710,466 Series B Preferred shares and underlying common stock, requiring a shelf registration within 60 days. This locks in Stilwell's 49.99% beneficial ownership cap while giving it a path to liquidity for its preferred position. The filing also reveals Stilwell sold $215K of Series B Preferred in June and received Series D Preferred as interest payments, signaling ongoing portfolio adjustments.
