The name of the issuer is Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Issuer”), a Maryland corporation, which has its principal office at Riversedge North, 2529 Virginia Beach Blvd., Suite 200, Virginia Beach, Virginia, 23452. The class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Issuer.

This Schedule 13D is being filed by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, Jon S. Wheeler, whose business address is located at Riversedge North, 2529 Virginia Beach Blvd., Suite 200, Virginia Beach, Virginia, 23452. Mr. Wheeler is a citizen of the United States.

Mr. Wheeler has not, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). Jon Wheeler has not, during the past five years, been a party to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws as a result of being a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction.

Mr. Wheeler purchased 703,169 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,058,420. Mr. Wheeler used his personal funds to purchase the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. On or about June 11, 2014, the Issuer’s Board of Directors granted Mr. Wheeler 2,169 shares of Common Stock for services he provided as Chairman and Chief Executive of the Issuer.

Mr. Wheeler acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. Mr. Wheeler may purchase additional shares of Common Stock from time to time depending upon market price, market conditions, availability of funds, evaluation of investment opportunities, and other factors including the beneficial ownership limitation of 9.8% set forth in the Issuer’s charter. Mr. Wheeler has no present intention to sell any shares of Common Stock, although Mr. Wheeler could determine from time to time, based upon the same factors listed above for purchases, to sell some or all of the shares of Common Stock he holds.

Mr. Wheeler does not have any plans or proposals that would result in any of the actions or transactions described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as previously disclosed in this Schedule 13D, as amended, or as set forth above.

(a) Mr. Wheeler beneficially owns 705,338 shares of Common Stock, representing 9.48% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (based upon 7,439,531 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 26, 2014).

(b) Mr. Wheeler has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of the 705,338 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

(c) The following table sets forth the transactions for shares of Common Stock that were effected during the past sixty days by Mr. Wheeler:

There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between Mr. Wheeler and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, the occurrence of which would give another person voting or investment power over the securities.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

The original statement shall be signed by each person on whose behalf the statement is filed or his authorized representative. If the statement is signed on behalf of a person by his authorized representative (other than an executive officer or general partner of the filing person), evidence of the representative’s authority to sign on behalf of such person shall be filed with the statement: provided, however, that a power of attorney for this purpose which is already on file with the Commission may be incorporated by reference. The name and any title of each person who signs the statement shall be typed or printed beneath his signature.
