	Mr. Khoshaba acquired the Shares for investment in the ordinary course of his investment activities based on his belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Mr. Khoshaba intends to review his investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Mr. Khoshaba may in the future take such actions with respect to his investment in the Issuer as he deems appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and/or the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”), engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and Mr. Khoshaba’s investment, participating on the Board, proposing changes to management, operations, recommending business development transactions, including a sale of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of his Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. In that regard, Mr. Khoshaba believes that the Issuer's financial performance can be improved to increase shareholder value. Accordingly, Mr. Khoshaba has sent a letter (the “Letter to the Board”) to Andrew Jones, the Chairman of the Board, in which he requested that the Issuer immediately appoint him to fill the current vacancy on the Board. The foregoing was a summary of the Letter to the Board.

The Board of Directors
Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.
2529 Virginia Beach Blvd.
Virginia Beach, Virginia 23452
Attn: Andrew Jones, Chairman

Dear Mr. Jones,

As you are aware, I currently own 7.5% the outstanding shares of common stock of Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) in my personal capacity, which makes me one of the Company’s largest shareholders. We’ve recently met on a number of occasions. In those meetings, I’ve expressed to you my view that the Company’s financial performance can be improved, which should be apparent to you given the enormous decline in the Company’s stock price since it went public in 2012. To my great disappointment, you have not reached out to me regarding your plans to increase shareholder value. Accordingly, I’m writing to inform you of my intention to take an active role with the Company. In particular, I am hereby formally requesting that the Company immediately appoint me to fill the current vacancy on its board of directors (the “Board”). I’ll be disclosing this publicly on a Schedule 13D that will be filed as soon as possible. I’m highly confident that I will make a significant contribution to the current Board and I’m excited about the prospect of working collaboratively with the existing Board members to create substantial value for all shareholders. Despite being a shareholder for less than a year, I’ve followed the Company closely since 2012 and I have a number of ideas to improve the Company’s operations.

I believe my background and experience will be an asset to the Board. I started my own investment advisory firm, KSA Capital Management, Inc. (“KSA Capital”), in 2004. In 2013, the flagship hedge fund managed by KSA Capital was awarded “best long/short equity hedge fund” by Hedge Funds Review, a very prominent industry periodical. In addition, a September 2013 Barron’s feature story referred to me as “one of the world’s best-performing long-short equity fund managers.” While at KSA Capital, I also served as a member of the board of directors of a company that was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and at one time had over $1 billion in annual sales. In particular, I worked with that portfolio company’s board of directors to optimize capital allocation decisions and to address a number of operational and mix issues. Over a three-year period, that company’s operational performance sharply improved and its stock price similarly increased. My partners and I ended up making over five times our investment when the company was sold within two years of me joining the company’s board of directors.

In 2012, I formed City Sunstone Properties, a commercial real estate company based in Las Vegas, in seeking to extract value from turmoil caused by the onset of the 2008 recession. Our investments, over 85% of which came from my own personal funds, were primarily in retail centers. After substantially increasing occupancy through aggressive leasing and re-tenanting strategies, we sold the majority of our portfolio and generated returns of three to five times our initial investments.

I also served as Managing Director for two highly-recognized and successful investment banking firms, Solomon Brothers and Bankers Trust. After spending a combined 12 years at those firms, I left to found KSA Capital.

Regarding my educational background, I received an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago in 1991 and earned a Bachelor’s degree from De Paul University, Chicago in 1987 with a concentration in Accounting and Economics.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions or need any additional information regarding my background and/or credentials. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

	Sincerely,


	Daniel Khoshaba 324 E. Alexander Palm Road Boca Raton, Florida 33432 Phone: (917) 543-0004 E-mail: dkhoshaba@ksacapitalpartners.com
