  The deal requires stockholder approval because the potential issuance of common stock exceeds 19.99% of outstanding shares, triggering Nasdaq's shareholder approval requirement. A preliminary proxy seeks stockholder approval for the note share issuance.

• Up to $25M Note Purchase Agreement Signed

  On October 13, 2026, Wheeler REIT entered into a Note Purchase Agreement allowing issuance of up to $25,000,000 in zero-interest promissory notes to unaffiliated investors.

• Daily Stock Amortization Creates Continuous Dilution

  Repayment of the notes occurs through daily amortization payments of 0.4% of original principal, made in newly issued common stock valued at the prior day's closing price — creating ongoing daily dilution for existing shareholders.

• Purchase Price Paid in Series D Preferred Stock

  Investors pay for the notes by delivering Series D Preferred Stock valued at its $25.00 liquidation preference plus accrued dividends, effectively converting preferred equity into a debt-like obligation.

A new Note Purchase Agreement allows Wheeler REIT to issue up to $25 million in zero-interest promissory notes. Repayment occurs through daily amortization of 0.4% of principal, settled in newly issued common stock valued at the prior day's closing price. This structure imposes continuous, daily dilution on existing shareholders for as long as any principal remains outstanding. The purchase price for the notes is paid in Series D Preferred Stock at its $25.00 liquidation preference, effectively converting preferred equity into a debt-like obligation that is then repaid with common stock. Stockholder approval is required because the potential issuance exceeds 19.99% of outstanding shares under Nasdaq rules. A preliminary proxy seeks stockholder approval for the note share issuance and authorizes 12 monthly reverse splits from January through December 2027 at ratios between 1-for-2 and 1-for-100. Given the company's history of massive dilution — common shares outstanding surged over 15x since year-end per the last 10-Q — this financing extends that pattern and adds a new, ongoing overhang on the stock.
