Explanation of Responses:
1. On October 5, 2023, the holders of Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.'s (the "Issuer") Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") became eligible to redeem such holder's shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus the amount of all accrued but unpaid dividends to and including the redemption date (the "Redemption Price"). The Redemption Price is payable by the Issuer, at the Issuer's option, in cash or in equal value of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), or in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. (cont'd in fn. 2)
2. (cont'd from fn. 1) On October 5, 2023, CEOF Holdings LP ("CEOF"), a Delaware limited partnership, redeemed 40,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, which the Issuer elected to redeem for shares of Common Stock. As a result of this redemption, each of CEOF, Corbin Capital Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Corbin GP"), and Corbin Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("CCP" and together with CEOF and Corbin GP, the "Reporting Persons") became the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Issuer's Common Stock.
3. Held directly by CEOF. CCP is the investment advisor to CEOF and may be deemed to share beneficial ownership over the shares of Common Stock held by CEOF. Corbin GP is the general partner of CCP and may be deemed to share beneficial ownership over the shares of Common Stock held by CEOF over which CCP shares beneficial ownership.
4. Subject to a mandatory conversion once the 20-trading day volume-weighted average closing price of the Issuer's Common Stock exceeds $580 per share; once this weighted average closing price is met, each share of the Issuer's Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $400.00 per share. In addition, holders of the Issuer's Series B Preferred Stock also have the option, at any time, to convert shares of the Issuer's Series B Preferred Stock into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at a conversion price of $400.00 per share of Common Stock. (cont'd in fn. 5)
5. (cont'd from fn. 4) As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 17, 2023, which announced the effectiveness of the Company's one-for-ten reverse stock split, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 0.0625 shares of the Issuer's common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless subject to a mandatory or voluntary conversion as described above. Pursuant to an Excepted Holder Agreement that CEOF entered into with the Issuer on October 4, 2023, CEOF is prohibited from beneficially owning more than 16% of the Issuer's outstanding shares. As a result, the Series B Preferred Stock held by CEOF is not convertible by CEOF to the extent that such conversion would violate the 16% ownership cap.
6. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of all reported shares except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein and the inclusion of the shares in this report shall not be deemed to be an admission of beneficial ownership of the reported shares for the purposes of Section 16 or otherwise.
