• New Preferred Stock Exchanges

  Across three transactions from July 7–10, 2026, the company issued 1,263,345 common shares in exchange for 36,857 preferred shares (32,022 Series B, 4,835 Series D).

• No Cash Proceeds

  While the exchanges retired preferred stock, they provided no cash to the company and solely diluted existing common shareholders.

• Ongoing Dilution Crisis

  This adds to over 100 million shares issued in recent months for preferred redemptions, with negative equity and a stock price near all-time lows following the reverse split.

• Reverse Split Context

  A 1-for-4 reverse split executed on June 18, 2026, temporarily boosted the share price, but continued dilution is eroding that effect.

An aggressive preferred stock redemption program continues at Wheeler REIT, which issued an additional 1,263,345 common shares in exchange for 36,857 preferred shares across three new transactions from July 7–10, 2026. This follows a pattern of massive dilution — the company has now issued over 100 million shares in recent months to retire preferred stock, with negative shareholder equity and a stock price near $0.39. The exchanges provide no cash to the company but further dilute existing common shareholders, who have already been hit by a 1-for-4 reverse split in June 2026. The relentless pace of these conversions, combined with the company's distressed financial position, signals that the capital structure remains under severe pressure.
