Analysis · WHLR · Real Estate & Construction
The monthly Series D preferred stock redemptions continue, with 403,236 common shares issued in August for 7,100 preferred shares. Adding to the dilution risk, the conversion price on the 7.00% Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2031 was reset to $0.40—a 45% discount to the $0.73 Series D conversion price—meaning noteholders can now convert each $25.00 of principal into about 62.5 common shares. With the stock trading at $0.48, this deeply discounted conversion price creates significant potential dilution and downward pressure. Cumulative redemptions have now reached 1.82 million preferred shares for 496,000 common shares, but the outstanding common share count has ballooned to 2.43 million, reflecting the massive dilution from this program. The next redemption date is September 8, 2026, with a submission deadline of August 25.
