ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) prepared an investor presentation (the “Investor Presentation”) that the Company intends to present at various investor meetings beginning on November 12, 2015. The Investor Presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 12, 2015, the Investor Presentation will be available through the investor relations page of the Company’s website at http://ir.stockpr.com/whlr/overview.

The Company considers portions of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to its business operations, benefits from the acquisition of properties, acquisition strategy and its target markets to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Specifically, the Company’s statements regarding the anticipated implementation of the Company’s growth and acquisition strategy and the future generation of value to the Company from the acquisition of service oriented retail properties in secondary and tertiary markets are forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the Company’s operations to differ from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including, among other factors, local conditions such as oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area; competition from other available space; dependence on rental income from real property; the loss of, significant downsizing of or bankruptcy of a major tenant; constructing properties or expansions that produce a desired yield on investment; the Company’s ability to renew or enter into new leases at favorable rates; its ability to buy or sell assets on commercially reasonable terms; its ability to complete acquisitions or dispositions of assets under contract; its ability to secure equity or debt financing on commercially acceptable terms or at all; the Company’s ability to enter into definitive agreements with regard to its financing and joint venture arrangements or its failure to satisfy conditions to the completion of these arrangements and the success of its capital recycling strategy. For additional factors that could cause the operations of the Company to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which are available for review at www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.
