• 1.26M Common Shares Issued for Preferred Redemptions

  Between July 7-10, 2026, Wheeler issued 1,263,345 common shares to eight unaffiliated holders in exchange for 36,857 shares of Series B and 4,285 shares of Series D preferred stock. No cash proceeds were received.

• Dilution Compounds Prior Issuances

  This issuance follows the 2.4 million shares issued on July 7, 2026, and the over 100 million shares registered in June, pushing total potential dilution to extreme levels for a company with a market cap of only $1.18M.

• Exchange Ratios Vary, Some Highly Dilutive

  Exchange ratios ranged from 16 to 191 common shares per preferred share, with the most dilutive transactions involving both Series B and D preferred stock. The July 9 and 10 exchanges alone represent a significant percentage of the outstanding common shares.

• No Cash Proceeds, Preferred Stock Retired

  The company received no cash in these exchanges; the preferred shares were retired and cancelled. This is a non-cash balance sheet restructuring that heavily dilutes common equity.

The aggressive preferred stock redemption program continues, with an additional 1.26 million common shares issued in exchange for Series B and D preferred stock. This follows the 2.4 million shares issued just days earlier, compounding the massive dilution already underway. The company receives no cash proceeds, and while the exchanges retire preferred stock, they come at the cost of severely diluting existing common shareholders. With negative equity and a pattern of repeated dilutive issuances, this filing underscores the company's desperate financial position and the ongoing erosion of common shareholder value.
