ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
Unless otherwise stated, or the context otherwise requires, references in this Current Report on Form 8-K to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries, and references in this Current Report on Form 8-K to the “Operating Partnership” refer to Wheeler REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership for which the Company is the sole general partner.
JANAF Acquisition
On November 3, 2016, WHLR-JANAF, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Buyer") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wheeler REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is the sole general partner, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) with JANAF Shopping Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“JSC”), JANAF Shops, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Shops”), JANAF HQ, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“JHQ”), and JANAF Crossings, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Crossings” and, collectively with JSC, Shops and JHQ, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer will acquire a retail shopping center known as JANAF (the “Property”) located in Norfolk, Virginia. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the consideration to be paid for the acquisition of the Property is approximately $85.65 million, including the assumption of approximately $58.4 million of mortgage loans secured by the Property. The primary loan that the Buyer is assuming has a $53.3 million balance, bears interest at a rate of 4.49%, matures in July 2023 and is pre-payable 90 days prior to its maturity. The Buyer will also assume a separate loan with a $5.1 million balance that bears interest at a rate of 4.95%, matures in January 2026 and is pre-payable six months prior to its maturity.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the acquisition of the Property will be completed upon the successful completion of a capital raising transaction, assumption of the mortgage loans secured by the Property and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that any closing condition of the acquisition of the Property will be satisfied or waived, if permitted, or that there will not be events, developments or changes that can cause the closing not to occur. Therefore, there can be no assurance with respect to whether the acquisition of the Property will be completed on the currently contemplated terms, other terms or at all.
No director, officer or affiliate of the Company is affiliated with any of the Sellers.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the acquisition of the Property does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is substantially in the form of the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, prospects, the pending acquisition and funding of the acquisition. Additionally, such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially and in adverse ways from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of such terms as “expect,” “project,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “opinion,” “predict,” “potential,” “pro forma” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
Any such forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements may be significantly hindered. The following factors, as well as any cautionary language in this Current Report on Form 8-K, provide examples of





certain risks, uncertainties and events that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

our ability to consummate the acquisition of the Property;
our ability to effectively deploy net proceeds of offerings of securities;
our ability to effectively integrate the Property into our portfolio;
changes in economic conditions affecting the retail shopping property sector, the commercial real estate market and the credit market;
competition for acquisition of retail shopping centers and other facilities that serve the retail shopping industry;
economic fluctuations in certain states in which our property investments are geographically concentrated;
retention of our senior management team;
financial stability and solvency of our tenants;
supply and demand for operating properties in the market areas in which we operate;
our ability to acquire real properties and to successfully operate those properties once acquired;
changes in property taxes;
legislative and regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and changes to laws governing the retail shopping industry;
changes in interest rates;
the availability of capital and financing;
restrictive covenants in our existing credit facilities;
changes in our credit ratings;
our ability to remain qualified as a REIT;
changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or policies and guidelines applicable to REITs; and
other risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Forward-looking statements express expectations of future events. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and assumptions concerning future events, and they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected. Due to these inherent uncertainties, you are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to projections over time, except as required by law.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

4



Purchaser and Sellers execute a cross-indemnity agreement pursuant to which (x) Seller and Purchaser will indemnify each other for claims made by any Lender (or any party claiming by or through any Lender) arising from events or defaults during their respective periods of ownership of the Property and (y) Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its affiliates should they become personally liable for any Loan (either directly or as a guarantor thereof) due to a breach by Seller or any employee or agent of Seller prior to the Closing Date of any "non-recourse" carveouts under such Loan (the "Cross Indemnity Agreement"); or (B) terminate this Contract, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other except as otherwise provided herein.
(iii)    Similarly, if as a condition to granting any Lender's Consent, any Lender requires that Purchaser make representations or warranties to the Lender regarding the current state of the Loan as of Loan Assumption Approval date (each a “Loan Rep/Warranty”) and the Lender will not waive such condition, then Purchaser and Seller shall execute an indemnity agreement (same to be included in the Cross Indemnity Agreement where applicable) pursuant to which Sellers will indemnify Purchaser for claims by such Lender relating to a breach of any such Loan Rep/Warranty.
(iv)    Guarantors shall join in any Cross Indemnity Agreement executed by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2(D), to indemnify Purchaser thereunder on a joint and several basis with Seller. Any guarantors of the obligations of Purchaser under the Loans shall likewise join in any Cross Indemnity Agreement to indemnify Seller thereunder on a joint and several basis with Purchaser.

5



not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any approved invasive testing. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all cost, loss, damage and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of Purchaser’s or its agent’s or independent contractor’s negligent actions or willful misconduct in conducting the activities upon the Real Property pursuant to the terms of this paragraph.

In the event Purchaser does not, prior to the end of the Review Period, notify Seller in writing of the waiver of its right to terminate this Contract pursuant to its review of the items as set forth in this Section 3, this Contract shall automatically terminate without requirement of further action on the part of Purchaser or Seller. In the event of such termination, Purchaser shall immediately return to Seller any documents, plans, studies or other materials related to the Property that were provided by Seller to Purchaser and provide Seller with copies of all reports, studies, surveys, title insurance commitments and other materials related to the Property obtained by Purchaser. If Purchaser is not in default hereunder, the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligations to the other hereunder provided; however, the indemnity contained in Section 3 (A) herein shall survive.
5.     Title .
A.    Purchaser shall obtain at its cost and expense a current ALTA owner's title commitment for title insurance for the Assets (the "Title Commitment") issued by the Escrow Agent, together with true and complete copies of all exceptions contained therein and Purchaser may obtain, at its cost and expense, an ALTA Survey of the Real Property (the "Survey").

If Purchaser fails to deliver such notice of Title Objections to Seller prior to the Title Objections Outside Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have found title unacceptable in all respects and this Contract shall be deemed terminated by Purchaser, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the Seller and Purchaser shall have no further responsibility to each other under this Contract; provided, however, the indemnity contained in Section 3 (A) herein shall survive such termination.
B.    Within five (5) business days of receipt of Purchaser's written notice of Title Objections (the “Seller Election Date"), Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing (the “Seller Response Notice”) of any Title Objections which Seller either refuses to cure or is unable to cure in a manner acceptable to Purchaser. In the absence of such notice from Seller to Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to satisfy, correct or cure any Title Objections.
C.    In the event Seller notifies Purchaser or is deemed to have notified Purchaser on or before the Seller Election Date of its election to refuse to cure or its inability to cure in a manner acceptable to Purchaser all of the Title Objections of which Seller is notified by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall by written notice to Seller within five (5) business days after the earlier of (i) the date of Purchaser’s receipt of the Seller Response Notice, or (ii) the Seller Election Date, elect one of the following:

(xii). In the event that, as of the Closing Date, either the Ashley Stewart Lease has not been fully executed or all of the Aldi Conditions have not been satisfied, then the fact that either such condition has not been satisfied shall not be the basis for Seller or Purchaser to refuse to close on the sale and purchase of the Property, but Seller and Purchaser shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with the Escrow Agent as provided below. The Escrow Agreement will provide that Seller will fund an escrow account to be held by the Escrow Agent in the amount of $1,350,000 if the Aldi Conditions have not been satisfied, and in the amount of $866,833.57 in the Ashley Stewart Lease has not been executed (a total of $2,216,833.57 if both have not been satisfied).

Execution Period”) to obtain the fully executed Ashley Stewart Lease (in both cases, in accordance with the provisions set forth above), and in each case, to give written evidence thereof to Purchaser.

If Seller obtains the fully executed Aldi Lease prior to the end of the Aldi Execution Period and satisfies all of the Aldi Conditions and notifies Purchaser thereof prior to the end of the Aldi Contingency Period (as it may be extended), then Seller shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a disbursement in the amount of $1,350,000, minus the amount of any Leasing Costs with respect to the Aldi Lease which have not been paid by Seller which amount shall continue to be held in escrow as provided above until Seller provides evidence that all of those costs have been paid (or, at Seller’s option, released to Purchaser to pay such Leasing Costs when they become due). If Seller fails to obtain the execution of the Aldi Lease within the Aldi Execution Period or to satisfy all of the Aldi Conditions within the Aldi Contingency Period (as it may be extended), then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a disbursement in the amount of $1,350,000 and Seller shall have no obligation to satisfy any of the Aldi Conditions. If Seller obtains the execution of the Ashley Stewart Lease and notifies Purchaser thereof within the A.S. Execution Period, then Seller shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a disbursement in the amount of $866,833.57, minus the amount of any Leasing Costs which have not been paid by Seller with respect to the

15



Ashley Stewart Lease which amount shall continue to be held in escrow as provided above until Seller provides evidence that all of those costs have been paid (or, at Seller’s option, released to Purchaser to pay such Leasing Costs when they become due).

Execution Period, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a disbursement in the amount of $866,833.57 and Seller shall have no obligation to execute the Ashley Stewart Lease.
In the event any of the foregoing conditions to the Closing are not satisfied or waived in writing by Purchaser as of the Closing Date, then Purchaser may either (i) extend the date for Closing for a maximum of thirty (30) days until such conditions are satisfied, or (ii) terminate this Contract and have the Deposit refunded together with accrued interest or (iii) waive in writing the satisfaction of any such conditions, in which event this Contract shall be read as if such conditions no longer existed; provided, however that, if such failure of condition also constitutes or is accompanied by a default by Seller hereunder, Purchaser shall have all rights and remedies as set forth in Section 13 herein. If Purchaser has extended the date for Closing for a maximum of thirty (30) days and the condition(s) are still not satisfied as of the extended date for Closing, then Purchaser may (i) waive in writing the satisfaction of any such conditions, in which event this Contract shall be read as if such conditions no longer existed or (ii) terminate this Contract and have the Deposit refunded together with accrued interest; provided, however, that if such failure of condition also constitutes or is accompanied by a default by Seller hereunder, Purchaser shall have all rights and remedies as set forth in Section 13 herein.

All monies received after Closing from a tenant in arrears at Closing shall be first applied to current rent, then to arrearages and any other amounts owing to Seller. Purchaser shall be under no obligation to collect any arrearages owing to Seller. Seller covenants and agrees, which covenant and agreement shall survive closing, not to sue or otherwise assert a claim under any Lease against any tenant of the Property that, at the time of assertion of the claim, is a tenant at the Property pursuant to a Lease that is in effect. Any claim by Seller for rent or other amounts owed to Seller by any tenant under a Lease for any period prior to Closing shall be subordinate to any claim of Purchaser against such Tenant for rent or other charges accruing from and after Closing. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such arrearages and shall promptly pay upon collection such arrearages to Seller.
B.    Real estate taxes (on the basis of the actual fiscal years for which such taxes are assessed), personal property taxes, and assessments on the Property shall be apportioned pro rata between Seller and Purchaser, with Seller responsible for the same to and including the day prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser responsible for the same from and after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall receive a credit in an amount equal to any taxes and assessments unpaid as of the Closing Date and for which Seller is responsible hereunder. Seller shall receive a credit in an amount equal to any taxes and assessments which have been paid by Seller applicable to periods on or after the Closing Date.
C.    Seller shall pay to Purchaser at Closing, by credit against the Purchase Price, all security deposits held by Seller as Landlord pursuant to the Leases, including any and all interest accrued thereon.
D.    Purchaser shall pay to Seller at Closing the amount of any reserve accounts for the payment of real estate taxes, tenant improvement costs, real estate commissions and the like held at Closing by the Lenders.
E.    (i)    Seller shall pay one half of the fees charged by the Escrow Agent to act as settlement agent.
(ii)    Purchaser shall pay at Closing the recordation and recording fees on the Deed and the Ground Lease Assignments, the cost of recording any of the Assumption Documents, and one-half of escrow fees charged by Escrow Agent to act as settlement agent. Purchaser shall also pay all costs of the assumption of the Loans and any costs arising from or related to Purchaser’s studies and activities under the Review Period.

19



F.    All utilities, real estate taxes, operating expenses and other apportionable income and expenses paid or payable by Seller, including without limitation, Common Area Maintenance, and insurance charges due under the Leases (collectively the “CAM Charges”), shall be apportioned pro rata on a per diem basis as of 12:01 A.M. on the date of Closing. Seller shall use its best efforts to cause any and all public utilities serving the Property to issue final bills to Seller on the basis of readings made as of Closing and all such bills shall be paid by Seller. After Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall perform a final reconciliation of the CAM Charges due under the Leases for the calendar year up to the date of Closing (the “Short Year”) as follows: (i) Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount by which the CAM Charges and taxes actually paid by Seller during such Short Year exceed that portion of funds Seller collected from tenants for CAM Charges and taxes (which are not otherwise paid directly by such tenants) during the Short Year, or (ii) Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount by which that portion of funds Seller collected from tenants for CAM Charges and taxes (which are not otherwise paid directly by such tenants) during the Short Year exceeds the CAM Charges and taxes actually paid by Seller during such Short Year.
12.     Possession . Possession of the Property shall be delivered as of the Closing Date subject only to the Leases and the Ground Leases.
13.     Condemnation . If, prior to Closing, any governmental authority or other entity having condemnation authority institutes an eminent domain proceeding with respect to any portion of the Property or takes steps preliminary thereto and the same is not dismissed on or before thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, upon written notice to Seller (a) within fifteen (15) days following notice by Seller to Purchaser of such condemnation, or (b) on the Closing Date, whichever occurs first, terminate this Agreement in its entirety, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder (other than with respect to obligations hereunder that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement) . If the Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to accept such condemnation and waives any right to terminate this Agreement as a result thereof and Purchaser shall receive as a credit against the Purchase Price the amount of any condemnation award received by Seller prior to Closing.
14.     Seller’s Defaul t. In the event Seller shall be in breach or violation of, or shall default, fail or refuse to perform its obligations under this Contract, and provided that Purchaser provides notice of such breach or default to Seller and such breach or default is not cured within ten (10) days of such notice, the Deposit shall be immediately forwarded by Escrow Agent to Purchaser on demand, and Purchaser shall have any and all remedies provided by law or equity, including specific performance (provided Purchaser initiates a suit for specific performance within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any such default). If Closing occurs and Purchaser discovers after Closing that Seller breached any such covenant, warranties or representations hereunder, then Purchaser shall have all remedies available at law or in equity.
15.     Purchaser’s Default; Liquidated Damages . In the event Purchaser shall fail or refuse to perform its obligations under this Contract, and provided that Seller provides notice of such default to Purchaser and such default is not cured within ten (10) days of such notice, the Deposit

20



shall be forwarded by Escrow Agent to Seller on demand, which is hereby agreed to be adequate liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default hereunder, and Seller shall have no other rights or remedies. The parties acknowledge that the Deposit represents a reasonable effort to ascertain the damages to Seller in the event of a Purchaser default, which damages are difficult or impossible to quantify. The foregoing provisions of this Section 15 shall in no way limit Purchaser’s liability for Purchaser’s indemnity obligations or for attorney’s fees and other costs as provided under this Contract.
16.     Broker’s Commission . Seller shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay in cash at Closing, and only if Closing shall occur, a real estate commission to CBRE (the “Broker”) pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser, and Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller, that except as provided in the preceding sentence no commissions are due and owing to any real estate broker or salesperson in connection with this transaction arising out of its actions. Seller and Purchaser hereby each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claim for any real estate commission or similar fee arising out of its (the indemnifying party’s) actions concerning the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated by this Contract. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has disclosed that certain of its principals are licensed real estate agents in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
17.     Insurance; Risk of Loss . Damage .    Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated. If the Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty that either (a) the cost to repair or restore is equal to or greater than $1,000,000 or (b) gives rise to a right of any tenant under a Lease to terminate its Lease which is exercised, or not waived, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (c) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder (other than with respect to obligations hereunder that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or (d) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage (including Seller's rent insurance, to the extent assignable) plus an amount equal to Seller's deductible under its insurance policy (less any portion of such proceeds paid or to be paid on account of the loss of rents or other income from the Property for the period prior to and including the Closing Date, all of which shall be payable to Seller) shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. If the Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage from a fire or other casualty prior to the Closing that the cost to repair or restore is less than $1,000,000 and does not give rise to any tenant under a Lease to terminate its lease that is exercised or not waived , Purchaser agrees that it will consummate the Closing and accept the assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage plus an amount equal to Seller's deductible under its insurance policy (provided that Seller’s insurer acknowledges and agrees to the assignment) and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.
18.     Survival of Representations and Warranties .     All representations and warranties made by Seller herein shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after Closing. The above limitations shall not apply to any representations or warranties contained in the Deed executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing.

21



19.     Assignment . Purchaser’s rights under this Contract shall be assignable by Purchaser, without further consent of Seller, to an entity affiliated with or controlled by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s principals. Except for the foregoing, Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Contract without the prior written consent of Seller.
20.     Notices . All notices, requests or other communications permitted or required under this Contract shall be in writing and shall be communicated by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express), by certified mail, return receipt requested, by electronic mail or by facsimile transmission to the parties hereto at the addresses shown below or at such other address as any of them may designate by notice to each of the others.

Exhibit 2.12


ELEVENTH AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

THIS ELEVENTH AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of the 17th day of October, 2017, by and between JANAF SHOPPING CENTER, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“JSC”), JANAF SHOPS, LLC , a Virginia limited liability company (“Shops”), JANAF HQ, LLC , a Virginia limited liability company (“JHQ”) and JANAF CROSSINGS, LLC , a Virginia limited liability company (“Crossings”) (collectively and each individually, “Seller”), and WHLR-JANAF , LLC , a Delaware limited liability company, or assigns (the “Purchaser”).
RECITALS
R-1.    Seller and Purchaser are parties to a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of November 3, 2016, relating to certain Property located in the City of Norfolk, Virginia, more particularly described in the Purchase Agreement.
R-2.    This Purchase and Sale Agreement has been amended by a certain First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 2, 2016; a certain Second Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 6, 2017; a certain Third Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 9, 2017; a certain Fourth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 11, 2017; a certain Fifth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 13, 2017 (the “Fifth Amendment”); a certain Sixth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated February 3, 2017 (the “Sixth Amendment”); a certain Seventh Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated March 6, , 2017; a certain Eighth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated March 7, 2017; a certain Ninth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated March 8, 2017; and a certain Tenth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 9, 2017.
R-3.    Seller and Purchaser desire to further amend the Purchase Agreement.
AMENDMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Big Lots Lease .     Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has entered into a new lease (the “Big Lots Lease”) with Big Lots Stores Inc. (together with its successors and assigns, “Big Lots”), and Purchaser approves and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Big Lots Lease. If required by the Lender that holds the mortgage or deed of trust that encumbers the Big Lots leased premises (for purposes of this Paragraph, such lender is referred to herein as the “Big Lots Lender”), Seller and Purchaser agree that, at Closing, a portion of Seller's sale proceeds equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) (the “Big Lots Escrow Funds”) will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to a mutually agreeable escrow agreement (the “Big Lots Escrow Agreement”) among Purchaser, Seller, the Big Lots Lender and the Escrow Agent, which will provide for the release of the Big Lots Escrow Funds to Seller upon satisfaction of the requirements of the Big Lots Lender. Alternatively, if the Big Lots Lender requires that the Big

1



Lots Escrow Funds be held in a reserve account controlled by such Lender or loan servicer, then the Big Lots Escrow Funds shall be deposited in such reserve account (to be disbursed upon satisfaction of the requirements of the Big Lots Lender) and Purchaser shall assign its rights to the disbursement of such funds to Seller. In the event such reserve account is to be established, (i) the parties shall use good faith efforts to cause the applicable loan documents to permit the release of the Big Lots Escrow Funds directly to Seller upon satisfaction of the requirements of the Big Lots Lender, and (ii) Purchaser and Wheeler REIT (as defined below) shall each indemnify Seller for its loss(es) in the event the Big Lots Escrow Funds are released to Purchaser and not delivered to Seller. If Purchaser receives the Big Lots Escrow Funds, Purchaser shall promptly remit all such funds to Seller.

Seller shall have the right to assist Big Lots in obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the Big Lots leased premises (or otherwise opening to the public) before and after Closing. After Closing and prior to the issuance of such certificate of occupancy (or the opening of the Big Lots leased premises to the public), Purchaser shall be obligated to enter into any reasonable amendments to the Big Lots Lease requested by Big Lots or Seller that are necessary to facilitate the issuance of such certificate of occupancy (or the opening of the Big Lots leased premises to the public) but no such amendment shall reduce the rent, term, or other obligations of Big Lots under its lease in any material respect or increase the obligations of the landlord under the Big Lots lease in any material respect. Purchaser agrees that it shall not amend, modify or grant any waiver or consent under the Big Lots Lease during the term of the Big Lots Escrow Agreement (or alternative reserve account) without the prior written consent of Seller. This Paragraph 1 shall survive Closing.
2. Payment of Purchase Price . The provisions of Section 3.C. of the Purchase Agreement are hereby amended to provide that, of the remaining balance of the Purchase Price, up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) may, upon mutual consent of Purchaser and Seller, be paid by Purchaser’s delivery to Seller of an equivalent value of publicly traded common stock in Purchaser’s parent entity, Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust Inc., which is a publicly traded real estate investment trust (NASDAQ: WHLR) (“Wheeler REIT”), upon the terms and conditions contained herein (the “Stock”), as calculated based on the closing price of such publicly traded common stock on the business day immediately before the Closing Date. If applicable, the issuance of such Stock shall occur at Closing and in escrow through the Escrow Agent (or in such other timing and manner that is acceptable to Seller and Purchaser). Purchaser shall cause Wheeler REIT to deliver the original stock certificates at Closing and such other documents as are reasonable and customary in such stock transactions. In addition, and only in the event shares of Wheeler REIT common stock are issued for the balance of the Pruchase Price, at Closing, Purchaser shall cause Wheeler REIT to execute and join in a customary “Registration Rights Agreement” with Seller; and, after Closing, Purchaser shall cause Wheeler REIT to promptly cause the Stock to be “registered” no later than ninety (90) days after Closing (such that Seller shall not be restricted from selling the Stock, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph). After Closing, Purchaser shall be required to cause Wheeler REIT to take any and all actions necessary to effectuate the intent of this paragraph. Seller agrees that Seller shall be obligated to wait at least (but not more than) (i) ninety (90) days from Closing before liquidating one-third of the Stock, (ii) one hundred and twenty (120) days from Closing before liquidating two-thirds of the Stock, and (iii) one hundred and fifty (150) from the Closing before liquidating one hundred percent (100%)

2



of the Stock. The parties shall comply with all applicable laws in effectuating the terms of this paragraph. For the sake of clarity, the parties hereto explicitly acknowledge that the Purchaser shall have the right to pay all or any portion of the remaining balance of the Purchase Price in cash or by wire transfer or other immediately available U.S. funds rather than any portion thereof by the issuance of the Stock, and if any such Stock (or any portion thereof) is not available for any reason, then Purchaser shall pay the applicable remaining balance of the Purchase Price in cash or by wire transfer or other immediately available U.S. funds. This paragraph shall survive Closing.

3. Conditions to Loan Assumption . Purchaser confirms that it has accepted the following conditions to its assumption of the ACDE Loan:

(a)      The funding of a $2,500,000 escrow or reserve to ensure that Big Lots commences paying rent under the Big Lots Lease; and

(b)    The funding of a $2,500,000 deleveraging reserve (the “Deleveraging Reserve”) to be held by the loan servicer until the maturity or earlier payment in full of the loan or until the reduction of the principal balance of the loan to $50,000,000.
  
4. Closing Date . Notwithstanding the definition of “Closing Date” on the first page of the Purchase Agreement (as previously amended), the Closing Date shall be on or before November 1, 2017. The Purchaser may extend the Closing Date through November 8, 2017, by delivering written notice to Seller of its intent to extend Closing at least two (2) business days prior to November 1, 2017 (the “First Extension”). If the Purchaser exercises the First Extension, then Purchaser may elect to further extend the Closing Date through November 15, 2017, by delivering written notice to Seller of its intent to extend Closing at least two (2) business days prior to November 8, 2017. There shall not be any notice or cure period for a default that delays Closing beyond the Closing Date, as it may be extended pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Purchase Agreement (as amended), neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any other right to extend the Closing Date (except as expressly provided in this Section 4).

5. Lease Escrow . At Closing, Seller shall create an escrow with the Escrow Agent in the amount of One Million Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,600,000.00) which shall consist of One Million One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,100,000.00) allocated to the Party City tenant (the “Party City Escrow”) and Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) allocated to the Discount Tire tenant (the “Discount Tire Escrow”). If (a) Purchaser (or, prior to Closing, Seller) obtains a signed lease with Party City or an Acceptable Alternative Tenant (the “Party City Lease”) on terms consistent with the existing letter of intent signed by Seller and Party City and otherwise on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser within nine (9) months after Closing and (b) Party City or an Acceptable Alternative Tenant opens for business in its premises or commences to pay rent within twelve (12) months after the Closing (or later if expressly permitted by the terms of the Party City Lease, i.e., on or before the applicable date for such tenant to open for business or commence paying rent as specified in such lease), then the funds in the Party City Escrow shall be released in full to Seller. If any of the conditions set forth above are not satisfied within the time period(s) provided then the Party City Escrow shall be released to Purchaser unless such failure is caused by a breach or default by Purchaser. If (a)

3



Purchaser (or, prior to Closing, Seller) obtains a signed lease with Discount Tire or an Acceptable Alternative Tenant (the “Discount Tire Lease”) on terms consistent with the existing letter of intent signed by Seller and Discount Tire and otherwise on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser within nine (9) months after Closing and (b) Discount Tire opens for business in its premises or commences to pay rent within twelve (12) months of the Closing (or later if expressly permitted by the terms of the Discount Tire Lease, i.e., on or before the applicable date for such tenant to open for business or commence paying rent as specified in such lease), then the funds in the Discount Tire Escrow shall be released in full to Seller. If any of the conditions set forth above are not satisfied within the time period(s) provided then the Discount Tire Escrow shall be released to Purchaser unless such failure is caused by a breach or default by Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall continue to use their best efforts and cooperate in obtaining a signed lease from each of Party City and Discount Tire (or, in each case, an Acceptable Alternative Tenant) on commercially reasonable terms. Purchaser shall not intentionally or in bad faith refuse or delay the execution of the Party City Lease or the Discount Tire Lease to avoid the release of escrowed funds to Seller as contemplated herein. The release of funds from the Party City Escrow is not contingent upon the release of funds from the Discount Tire Escrow, and vice versa. Before and after Closing, Seller shall have the right to assist each of Party City and Discount Tire (or the Acceptable Alternative Tenant of each) in opening for business. After Closing and prior to the release of each of the Discount Tire Escrow and the Party City Escrow, as applicable, Purchaser shall be obligated to enter into any reasonable amendments to the Discount Tire Lease and/or the Party City Lease requested by Discount Tire, Party City or Seller, as applicable, that are necessary to facilitate the opening of such premises to the public within the time periods contemplated herein, as the case may be, but no such amendment shall reduce the rent, term, or other obligations of such tenant under its lease in any material respect or increase the obligations of the landlord under such lease in any material respect. Purchaser agrees that it shall not amend, modify or grant any waiver or consent that would affect the timing for the tenant to open for business in its premises or the obligation to commence the payment of rent (x) under the Party City Lease during the term of the Party City Escrow or (y) under the Discount Tire Lease during the term of the Discount Tire Escrow without the prior written consent of Seller. As used in this paragraph, the term “Acceptable Alternative Tenant” shall mean (i) in the case of the Party City Lease, a tenant other than Party City that has a reasonably equivalent credit rating to Party City and that signs a lease of space that is vacant as of the date hereof with the same or greater gross rent (as compared to the gross rent set forth in the current letter of intent with Party City) within the applicable time periods specified above for the Party City Lease provided that Seller elects to pay the Leasing Costs associated with such Acceptable Alternative Tenant’s lease; and (ii) in the case of the Discount Tire Lease, a tenant other than Discount Tire that has a reasonably equivalent credit rating to Discount Tire and that signs a lease of space that is vacant as of the date hereof with the same or greater gross rent (as compared to the gross rent set forth in the current letter of intent with Discount Tire) within the applicable time periods specified above for the Discount Tire Lease provided that Seller elects to pay the Leasing Costs associated with such Acceptable Alternative Tenant’s lease. Copies of the current letters of intent with each of Party City and Discount Tire are attached hereto as Exhibit A .

6. Deleveraging Reserve . Seller agrees that at Closing it will use a portion of the Purchase Price to fully fund the Deleveraging Reserve (not to exceed $2,500,000). Seller shall have no claim to the return of any portion of the funds used to fund the Deleveraging Reserve.

4




7. Leasing Costs . Section 8.J. of the Lease is amended to provide that Seller, rather than Purchaser, shall pay all of the Leasing Costs with respect to every new lease, amendment, modification, supplement or renewal that Seller executes while the Purchase Agreement is in effect (but not after Closing).

8. Miscellaneous . Except as expressly amended in this Amendment, the Purchase Agreement (as previously amended) shall remain in full force and effect (and, if applicable, is reinstated). All capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the same definition and meaning as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as previously amended). In the event of an express and irreconcilable conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of the Purchase Agreement (as previously amended) and those of this Amendment, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment shall prevail.

9. Counterparts . This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and/or with counterpart signature pages, all of which shall be treated collectively as representing the single execution of this Amendment. This Amendment may also be executed through facsimile/electronic signatures, which shall have the same binding effect on the parties as original signatures.

Exhibit 99.1

Report of Independent Auditor



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses (the “Statement”) of JANAF (referred to as the "Property") for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Management’s Responsibility for the Statement
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this Statement, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this Statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the Statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement.

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the Statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses of the Property for the year ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter
As further discussed in Note 1, Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (referred to hereafter as the "Company") through WHLR-JANAF, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wheeler REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership of which the Company is the sole general partner, is a party to the agreement to acquire the Property.

The accompanying Statement was prepared as described in Note 2, for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

JANAF
Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 (Unaudited) and the Year Ended December 31, 2016

1. Business and Purchase Agreement

On November 3, 2016, Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (referred to hereafter as the “Trust” or the “Company”), through WHLR-JANAF, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("WHLR-JANAF") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wheeler REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which the Company is the sole general partner, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement"), as buyer, with JANAF Shopping Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, JANAF Shops, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, JANAF HQ, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, and JANAF Crossings, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (collectively, "seller"), to acquire JANAF (the "Property"), a 887,917 square foot shopping center located in Norfolk, Virginia , for a contract price of $85.65 million . The acquisition will be completed upon the successful completion of a capital raising transaction, assumption of approximately $58.4 million of mortgage loans secured by the Property and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The Property is 94% leased. The Property is anchored by BJ's Wholesale Club including the Fuel Center ("BJ's"), which occupies 17% of the total gross leasable area with a lease that expires in March 2020 with the BJ's fuel center lease expiring in March 2030.

2. Basis of Presentation

The Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses (the “Statements”) have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, the Statements are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented as revenues and certain operating expenses, which may not be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the Property, have been excluded. Such items include depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income and amortization of above- and below-market leases. Management is not aware of any material factors relating to the Property that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Property leases retail and office space under various lease agreements with tenants. All leases are accounted for as noncancelable operating leases. The leases include provisions under which the Property is reimbursed for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance costs. Pursuant to the lease agreements, income related to these reimbursed costs is recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred. Certain leases contain renewal options at various periods at various rental rates. The Property recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset.

Use of Estimates
    
The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting periods to present the Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). Actual results could differ from those estimates.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Property is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that insurance coverage is sufficient to cover these matters. The Company believes that the ultimate settlement of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Property’s results of operations.

7. Ground Leases

As of September 30, 2017, JANAF is subject to five ground leases which terminate in 2069. The ground leases require JANAF to make fixed annual rental payments along with percentage rent and include escalation

8. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred through January 9, 2018, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and is not aware of any events that have occurred that would require additional adjustments to or disclosures in the Statements.




Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to provide pro forma information with regard to the acquisition of JANAF (“the Property”), which Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (referred to hereafter as the “Trust” or the “Company”), through WHLR-JANAF, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("WHLR-JANAF") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wheeler REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which the Company is the sole general partner, obtained the right to acquire through a Purchase and Sale Agreement initially entered into on November 3, 2016. WHLR-JANAF is a party to the agreement to acquire the Property.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 gives effect to the acquisition of the Property as if it had occurred on September 30, 2017 . The Wheeler REIT column as of September 30, 2017 represents the actual balance sheet presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) filed on November 9, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The pro forma adjustments column includes the preliminary estimated impact of purchase accounting and other adjustments for the periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the Company and the Property for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 give effect to the Company's acquisition of the Property as if it had occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented (January 1, 2017 or January 1, 2016, respectively). The Wheeler REIT column for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 represents the results of operations presented in the Company's Form 10-Q. The Wheeler REIT column for the year ended December 31, 2016 represents the results of operations presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017 with the exception of net loss from continuing operations per share and unit and the weighted average outstanding which have been adjusted for the 1 for 8 reverse stock split effective March 31, 2017. The Property column includes the full year’s operating activity for the Property for the year ended December 31, 2016 and nine months' operating activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , as the Property will be acquired subsequent to September 30, 2017 and therefore was not included in the Company’s historical financial statements. The pro forma adjustments columns include the impact of purchase accounting and other adjustments for the periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company's management based upon the historical financial statements of the Company and of the acquired Property.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Pro Forma Balance Sheet
A.
Reflects the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2017 included in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed on November 9, 2017.

B.
Represents the estimated net cash proceeds from the issuance of 1,454,107 shares of Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock ("Series D preferred stock") in connection with a proposed follow-on offering of Series D preferred stock, at a price to public of $18.36 per share, equal to the closing price of the Series D preferred stock on January 8, 2018, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated expenses of the offering and assuming that the underwriters do not exercise any of their option to purchase additional shares of Series D preferred stock.

C.
Represents the estimated pro forma effect of the Company’s $85.65 million acquisition of the Property, assuming it occurred on September 30, 2017 . The Company has initially allocated the purchase price of the acquired Property to land, building and improvements, identifiable intangible assets, acquired liabilities, ground lease sandwich interest and restricted cash based on their preliminary estimated fair values. Identifiable intangibles include amounts allocated to above/below market leases, the value of in-place leases and ground lease sandwich interest, if any. The Company estimated fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results of the Property, known trends and specific market and economic conditions that may affect the Property. Factors considered by management in its analysis of estimating the as-if-vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, tenant demand and other economic conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements and ground lease sandwich interest. Intangibles related to above/below market leases, in-place lease value and ground lease sandwich interest are recorded as acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue or amortization expense, as appropriate, over the remaining terms of the underlying leases.

Pro Forma Statements of Operations
A.
Reflects the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included in the Company's Form 10-Q filed on November 9, 2017, excluding discontinued operations.

B.
Amounts reflect the unaudited historical operations of the Property for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , unless otherwise noted.

C.
Represents the estimated unaudited pro forma adjustments related to the acquisition for the period presented.

(1)
Represents estimated amortization of above/below market leases which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the related leases.

(2)
Represents the estimated depreciation and amortization of the buildings and related improvements, ground lease sandwich interest and in place leases and resulting from the preliminary estimated purchase price allocation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The buildings and site improvements are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives up to 40 years. The tenant improvements, ground lease sandwich interest, and in place leases are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the related leases.

(3)
Represents expected interest expense on debt assumed at time of acquisition, which is expected to accrue interest at a rate of 4.95% per annum on $5.17 million and 4.49% per annum on $53.78 million maturing January 2026 and July 2023, respectively.

(4)
Represents the estimated additional income (loss) attributed to the acquisition of the Property for noncontrolling interest ownership.




D.
Reflects the consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company's Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2017 with the exception of net loss from continuing operations per share and unit and the weighted average outstanding which have been adjusted for the 1 for 8 reverse stock split effective March 31, 2017.    

E. Amounts reflect the historical operations of the Property for the year ended December 31, 2016 , unless otherwise noted.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Announces
Contract to Acquire JANAF Shopping Yard in Norfolk, Virginia

Center anchored by national credit tenants including BJ’s Wholesale Club and Fuel Center,
T.J. Maxx, Petco, Wawa, and Big Lots


Virginia Beach, VA -January 9, 2018- Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:WHLR) (“Wheeler” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated, self-managed commercial real estate investment company focused on acquiring and managing income-producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored centers, today reported that the Company, through WHLR-JANAF, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into a purchase and sale agreement (as amended) with JANAF Shopping Center, LLC, JANAF Shops, LLC, JANAF HQ, LLC and JANAF Crossings, LLC to acquire JANAF Shopping Yard (“JANAF”), an 887,917 rentable square foot shopping center located in Norfolk, Virginia.

JANAF is located approximately 9 miles from the Wheeler corporate office in Virginia Beach, Virginia and, as of September 30, 2017, was 94% occupied and anchored by prominent retailers including BJ’s Wholesale Club and Fuel Center (151,345 square feet in total); T.J. Maxx (37,383 square feet); Petco (17,000 square feet); Wawa (7,240 square feet); and Big Lots (42,500 square feet). Service and necessity providers such as the United States Postal Service, SunTrust Bank and others are also tenants of JANAF and serve the surrounding community. JANAF encompasses approximately 92 acres and includes 850,683 square feet of retail space in multiple buildings and 37,234 square feet of office space in one building. Originally built in 1959, JANAF has undergone several renovations, the last being in 2006.

The expected purchase price of the acquisition of $85.65 million, or approximately $96 per leasable square foot, includes the assumption of approximately $58.4 million of mortgage loans secured by the property. The primary loan that the Company is assuming has a $53.3 million balance, bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.49%, matures in July 2023 and is pre-payable 90 days prior to its maturity. The Company will also assume a separate loan with a $5.1 million balance that bears interest at a rate of 4.95%, matures in January 2026 and is pre-payable six months prior to its maturity.
 
Jon S. Wheeler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wheeler, stated, “JANAF is an iconic property located right here in our back yard in Virginia. The asset is centric to our business strategy of owning the dominant center in secondary and tertiary markets. We expect JANAF to be a long-term play for WHLR as we believe there is tremendous value in the underlying real estate. ”
