This is Prospectus Supplement No. 2 (this “Prospectus Supplement) to the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation dated November 22, 2022, as amended by Prospectus Supplement No. 1 dated December 15, 2022 (as it may be further supplemented and amended from time to time, the “Prospectus/Consent Solicitation”), of Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company,” “our,” “we” or “us”), relating to our offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation, any and all validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and validly accepted outstanding shares of our Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for 6.00% Subordinated Notes due 2027, to be newly issued by the Company. We refer to our Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock as the “Series D Preferred Stock” and to our 6.00% Subordinated Notes due 2027 as the “Exchange Notes”. Terms used but not defined in this Prospectus Supplement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation. The information contained in this Prospectus Supplement updates and supplements, and should be read together with, the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation, as supplemented and amended from time to time.

 

Concurrently with and as an integral part of the Exchange Offer, we are also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the Series D Preferred Holders, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation, to certain amendments to our charter that will modify the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Proposed Amendments”).

 

We have extended the Expiration Date and Time from 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2022 to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 6, 2023, to allow additional time for the holders of Series D Preferred Stock to tender their shares of Series D Preferred Stock in the Exchange Offer.

 

The consummation of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation is subject to, and is conditional upon, the satisfaction of the conditions listed under “The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation – Conditions of the Exchange Offer” included in the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation, including the condition that the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (i) validly tender their Series D Preferred Stock into the Exchange Offer, and do not validly withdraw such Series D Preferred Stock, on or prior to the Expiration Date and Time, and (ii) consent to the Proposed Amendments. The valid tender of Series D Preferred Stock in the Exchange Offer will constitute an automatic consent to the Proposed Amendments.

 

You may validly withdraw tendered shares of Series D Preferred Stock and thereby validly revoke your consent to the Proposed Amendments at any time prior to the Expiration Date and Time, and after the expiration of 40 business days from the commencement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation if tendered shares of Series D Preferred Stock have not yet been accepted by the Company for exchange.
