Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On October 8, 2024, Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Company") agreed to issue 88,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") to an unaffiliated holder of the Company's securities (the "Investor") in exchange for 22,000 shares of the Company's Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") and 22,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock" and, together with the Series D Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock") from the Investor (the "Exchange"). The settlement of the Exchange occurred on the same day. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds as a result of the Exchange, and the shares of the Preferred Stock exchanged have been retired and cancelled.
The Company issued the Common Stock to the Investor under the Exchange in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act on the basis that the issuance of Common Stock to the Investor constituted an exchange with an existing holder of the Company's securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such transaction.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to exchange any securities of the Company for the Common Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock or other securities of the Company.
