When used in this presentation, the words "continue," "may," "approximately," "potentially," or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially.

compliance with the financial and other covenants in its debt agreements and under the terms of its Series D Preferred Stock; financing risks, such as the Company’s inability to obtain new financing or refinancing on favorable terms as the result of market volatility or instability and increases in the Company’s borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors; the impact of the Company’s leverage on operating performance; our ability to successfully execute strategic or necessary asset acquisitions and divestitures; our ability to repurchase noncontrolling interests and the price and timing of such repurchases; risks endemic to real estate and the real estate industry generally; the adverse effect of any future pandemic, endemic or outbreak of infectious diseases, and mitigation efforts, including government-imposed lockdowns, to control their spread; competitive risks; risks to our information systems - or those of our tenants or vendors - from service interruption, misappropriation of data, breaches of security or information technology, or other cyber-related attacks; the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"); the effects on the trading market of our Common Stock of the one-for-four reverse stock split effected on January 27, 2025 (the "January 2025 Reverse Stock Split"), the one-for-five reverse stock split effected on March 26, 2025 (the "March 2025 Reverse Stock Split"), the one-for-seven reverse stock split effected on May 26, 2025 (the "May 2025 Reverse Stock Split"), the one-for-five reverse stock split effected on September 22, 2025 (the "September 2025 Reverse Stock Split") and the one-for-two reverse stock split effected on November 28, 2025 (the "November 2025 Reverse Stock Split"; and together with the January 2025 Reverse Stock Split, March 2025 Reverse Stock Split, May 2025 Reverse Stock Split and September 2025 Reverse Stock Split, the "2025 Reverse Stock Splits"); and the one-for-three reverse stock split effected on January 16, 2026 (the "January 2026 Reverse Stock Split") and the one-for-three reverse stock split effected on April 17, 2026 (the "April 2026 Reverse Stock Split"; and together with the January 2026 Reverse Stock Split and the 2025 Reverse Stock Splits, the "Reverse Stock Splits") and any reverse stock splits the Company may effect in the future; damage to the Company’s properties from catastrophic weather and other natural events, and the physical effects of climate change; the risk that an uninsured loss on the Company’s properties or a loss that exceeds the limits of the Company’s insurance policies could subject the Company to lost capital or revenue on those properties; the risk that continued increases in the cost of necessary insurance could negatively impact the Company's profitability; the Company’s ability and willingness to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations; the ability of our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), and each of our other partnerships and limited liability companies to be classified as partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes; the impact of government shutdowns; and the inability to generate sufficient cash flows due to market conditions, competition, uninsured losses, changes in tax or other applicable laws.
The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. For a description of the risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company's future results, performance or transactions, see the reports filed by the Company with the SEC, including its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated. Except for ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. All of the above factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect the Company’s actual results and may be beyond the Company’s control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company’s management to predict all such factors or to assess the effects of each factor on the Company’s business. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s current expectations will be realized.

Glossary of Terms
| Term | Definition | |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") | We believe the computation of funds from operations ("FFO") in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("Nareit") definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, legal settlements, non-cash share-based compensation expense, non-cash amortization on loans and acquisition costs. Therefore, in addition to FFO, management uses Adjusted FFO ("AFFO"), a non-GAAP measure, for REITs, which we define to exclude such items. Management believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining AFFO as they are not indicative of the operating performance of our assets. In addition, we believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing us to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, there can be no assurance that AFFO presented by us is comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs. | |
| Anchor | Lease occupying 20,000 square feet or more. | |
| Annualized Base Rent ("ABR") | Monthly base rent on occupied space as of the end of the current reporting period multiplied by twelve months, excluding the impact of tenant concessions and rent abatements. | |
| Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") | A widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors and lenders in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison against other companies, including other REITs. While EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, net operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to the Company’s performance or ability to meet its future debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The Company computes EBITDA by excluding interest expense, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of long-lived assets and notes receivable from income from continuing operations. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes items affecting the comparability of the periods presented, including but not limited to, costs associated with acquisitions and capital related activities. | |
| Funds from Operations ("FFO") | We use FFO, a non-GAAP measure, as an alternative measure of our operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999, April 2002 and December 2018). As defined by Nareit, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs), plus impairment of real estate related long-lived assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including us, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Accordingly, we believe FFO provides a valuable alternative measurement tool to GAAP when presenting our operating results. | |
| Gross Leasable Area ("GLA") | The total amount of leasable space in an investment property. | |
| Ground Lease | A lease in which the tenant owns the building but not the land it is built on. | |

| Leased Rate / <br>% Leased | The space committed to lessee under a signed lease agreement as of March 31, 2026, expressed as a percentage of Gross Leasable Area. | |
| Local Tenant | Tenant with presence in one state with 10 or less locations. | |
| National / Regional Tenant | Tenant with presence in multiple states or a single state presence with more than 10 locations. | |
| Occupancy Rate / % Occupied | The space delivered to a tenant under a signed lease agreement as a percentage of gross leasable area through March 31, 2026. | |
| Rent Spread: | ||
| New Rent Spread | Weighted average change over the gross value of a new lease, annualized per square foot, compared to the annualized base rent per square foot of the prior tenant. | |
| Renewal Rent<br><br>Spread | Weighted average change over the gross value of a renewed lease, annualized per square foot, compared to the annualized base rent per square foot of the prior rate. | |
| Same-Property | Properties owned during all periods presented herein. | |
| Same-Property Net Operating Income ("Same-Property NOI") | Same-Property net operating income ("Same-Property NOI") is a widely-used non-GAAP financial measure for REITs. The Company believes that Same-Property NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines Same-Property NOI as property revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because Same-Property NOI excludes above (below) market lease amortization, straight-line rents, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale or capital expenditures and leasing costs and impairment charges, it provides a performance measure, that when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from operating income. The Company uses Same-Property NOI to evaluate its operating performance since Same-Property NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. Properties are included in Same-Property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared ("Same-Property"). Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from Same-Property NOI.<br><br><br><br>The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is consolidated operating income. Same-Property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated operating income prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Further, Same-Property NOI is a measure for which there is no standard industry definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or reported on among the Company's peers, and thus may not provide an adequate basis for comparison among REITs. | |

Financial and Operating Results
Today, WHLR reported its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, WHLR's net loss attributable to WHLR's common stockholders resulted in basic loss per share of $(14.55) and $(14,215.77), respectively.
"Our first quarter results reflect the continued strength of our operating platform. Same-Property NOI grew 7.9% year-over-year, underpinned by a 9.0% renewal rent spread across 315,721 square feet and a 67.1% spread on new leases at WHLR, 27.3% renewal spread and occupancy growth of 630 basis points at Cedar; as combined portfolio occupancy reached 94.0%, a 270 basis point improvement over the prior year period. Notably, total revenues remained resilient at $24.0 million despite the deliberate disposition of four properties during the quarter, a testament to the underlying strength of our Same-Property portfolio.
On the balance sheet, we took meaningful steps to reduce leverage and improve our capital structure. We retired the Tuckernuck loan in full, applied disposition proceeds toward targeted paydowns of the June 2022 Term Loan, and continued to retire Cedar Preferred Stock; actions that collectively lower our cost of capital, reduce future dividend obligations, and position the Company for more durable long-term cash flow generation. We will continue to recycle non-core assets strategically, redeploying capital to strengthen the balance sheet and enhance value for our stakeholders.”
–M. Andrew Franklin, Chief Executive Officer and President
