**CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Form 10-Q") of Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Trust," the "Company," "WHLR," "we," "our" or "us") contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of 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") that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company's future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words "may", "will", "should", "estimates", "projects", "anticipates", "believes", "expects", "intends", "future", and words of similar import, or the negative thereof. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. You are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management's view only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results.

Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the use of and demand for retail space, including in relation to reductions in consumer spending, variability in retailer demand for leased space, adverse impact of e-commerce, ongoing consolidation in the retail sector and changes in economic conditions and consumer confidence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• given the volatility in the trading of our Common Stock, whether we have registered and, as necessary, can continue to register sufficient shares of our Common Stock to settle redemptions of all Series D Preferred Stock tendered to us by the holders thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to accounting rules, tax rates and similar matters, including tariff-related measures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability and willingness of the Company's tenants and other third parties to satisfy their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability and willingness of the Company's tenants to renew their leases with the Company upon expiration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company's ability to re-lease its properties on the same or better terms in the event of non-renewal or in the event the Company exercises its right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations the Company may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• litigation risks generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that shareholder litigation in connection with the Cedar Acquisition (as defined below) may result in significant indemnification costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company's ability to maintain compliance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that continued increases in the cost of necessary insurance could negatively impact the Company's profitability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of government shutdowns; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inability to generate sufficient cash flows due to market conditions, competition, uninsured losses, changes in tax or other applicable laws.

Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in light of these factors. 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.

**1. Business and Organization**

Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on June 23, 2011. The Trust serves as the general partner of Wheeler REIT, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), which was formed as a Virginia limited partnership on April 5, 2012. At March 31, 2026, the Company owned 100% of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2026, the Trust owned and operated sixty-two properties, including fifty-nine retail shopping centers and three undeveloped properties in South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Jersey, Florida, Connecticut, Kentucky, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Alabama, Maryland and West Virginia. These centers and undeveloped properties include the properties acquired through the Cedar Acquisition (as defined below). Accordingly, the use of the word "Company", "we," "our" or "us" refers to the Trust and consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.

The Trust through the Operating Partnership owns Wheeler Interests ("WI") and Wheeler Real Estate, LLC ("WRE") (WRE and, together with WI, the "Operating Companies"). The Operating Companies are taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") to accommodate serving the non-REIT properties since applicable REIT regulations consider the income derived from these services to be "bad" income subject to taxation. The regulations allow for costs incurred by the Company commensurate with the services performed for the non-REIT properties to be allocated to a TRS.

***Acquisition of Cedar Realty Trust***

On August 22, 2022, the Company completed a merger transaction (the "Cedar Acquisition") with Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. ("Cedar"). As a result of the merger, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cedar's common stock, which ceased to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Cedar's outstanding 7.25% Series B Preferred Stock ("Cedar Series B Preferred Stock") and 6.50% Series C Preferred Stock ("Cedar Series C Preferred Stock" and, together with the Cedar Series B Preferred Stock, the "Cedar Preferred Stock") remain outstanding and continue to trade on the NYSE. As a result, Cedar became a subsidiary of the Company. Cedar's assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, its operating partnership, Cedar Realty Trust Partnership, LP.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation***

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. All material balances and transactions between the consolidated entities of the Company have been eliminated. All share and share-related information presented reflect the January 2025 Reverse Stock Split, the March 2025 Reverse Stock Split, the May 2025 Reverse Stock Split, the September 2025 Reverse Stock Split, the November 2025 Reverse Stock Split, the January 2026 Reverse Stock Split and the April 2026 Reverse Stock Split, which took effect on January 27, 2025, March 26, 2025, May 26, 2025, September 22, 2025, November 28, 2025, January 16, 2026 and April 17, 2026, respectively. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K").

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q include Cedar starting from the date of the Cedar Acquisition. We have determined that this acquisition is not a variable interest entity, as defined under the consolidation topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), and we evaluated such entity under the voting model and concluded we should consolidate the entity. Under the voting model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we, directly or indirectly, have greater than 50% of the voting rights and that other equity holders do not have substantive participating rights.

ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after the effective date, but entities may elect to apply the ASU retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been recently issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not currently applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

***Reclassifications***

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in order to be consistent with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net loss attributable to common shareholders. All share and share-related information presented in this Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements, has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the decreased number of shares of Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Splits, unless otherwise noted.

**4. Investment Securities - Related Party**

The Company subscribed for an investment in the amount of $10.0 million for limited partnership interests in Stilwell Activist Investments, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SAI") in 2023, and subscribed for additional investments in the amounts of $0.5 million and $10.0 million in 2024 and 2025, respectively. The investment objective of SAI is to seek long-term capital appreciation through investing primarily in publicly-traded, undervalued financial institutions or businesses with a strong financial component, or the securities of any of them, and pursuing an activist shareholder agenda with respect to those institutions.

Stilwell Value LLC ("Value") is the general partner of SAI. Joseph Stilwell, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, is the managing member of Value and a limited partner in funds advised by Value. Additionally, E.J. Borrack, a member of the Board of Directors, serves as the General Counsel to Value and its affiliated entities, including SAI and related funds, and is a limited partner in one of the funds advised by Value. Megan Parisi, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, serves as the Director of Communications to Value and its affiliated entities, including SAI and related funds, is a non-managing member of Value and is a limited partner in one of the funds advised by Value.

**(Unaudited)**

The Company's subscriptions were approved by the disinterested directors of the Company, and, after the formation of the Related Person Transactions Committee, by that Committee.

A portion of SAI's underlying investments are in the Company's equity and debt securities. At December 31, 2025, approximately 38.0% of SAI's underlying investments were in the Company's equity and debt securities and approximately 0.0% were in the equity securities of the Company's consolidated subsidiary.

SAI records investment transactions based on trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income, net of withholding taxes, and dividend expense are recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income and expense are recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums to the face amount of debt securities are accreted and amortized using the effective interest rate method over the lives of the respective debt securities.

A limited partner in SAI may request a withdrawal after the expiration of the first anniversary of the date its investment was accepted into SAI. After the expiration of this lock-up period, withdrawal requests can be made quarterly and are generally paid out on a quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the SAI limited partnership agreement.

In consideration for management, administrative and operational services, limited partners of SAI pay a management fee to an affiliate of Value each calendar quarter, in advance, equal to 0.25% (an annualized rate of 1%) of each limited partner's capital account balance on the first day of such calendar quarter. In addition, as of the last day of each specified performance period, an incentive allocation of 20% of the amount by which the "positive performance change," if any, that has been credited to the capital account of a limited partner during such period exceeds any positive balance in such limited partner's "carryforward account," is debited from the limited partner's capital account and is simultaneously credited to the capital account of Value.

The Company's SAI investment continues to be measured at net asset value as a practical expedient and has not been classified within the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized holding gains and losses from the Company's SAI investment are recorded through other comprehensive income and are presented net of investment fees as noted above.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the net asset value of the Company's SAI investment was $23.7 million and $24.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded unrealized holding losses of $0.7 million and unrealized holding gains of $0.5 million, respectively, through other comprehensive (loss) income, net of investment fees as noted above.

***June 2022 Term Loan Paydowns***

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company made principal payments in the aggregate amount of $2.7 million on the loan made pursuant to the term loan agreement entered into on June 17, 2022 with Guggenheim Real Estate, LLC (the "June 2022 Term Loan") using proceeds from the sales of Moncks Corner, Ridgeland, an outparcel at St. George Plaza and Darien Shopping Center. See Note 3 for additional details.

***Tuckernuck Loan Payoff***

On February 19, 2026 the Company paid in full the remaining principal balance of $4.4 million on the Tuckernuck loan from operating cash flows.

***August 2025 Cedar Credit Facility***

On August 15, 2025, Cedar entered into a credit facility agreement with KeyBank National Association to draw up to $20.0 million (the "August 2025 Cedar Credit Facility") pursuant to which a loan advance may be made no more frequently than once per calendar month. The interest rate under the August 2025 Cedar Credit Facility for each draw is at the Company's option of either a base rate, daily simple SOFR or term SOFR, plus an applicable margin. Interest payments are due monthly, and any outstanding principal is due at maturity on August 15, 2027. The total outstanding principal under the August 2025 Credit Facility must be reduced to no greater than $10.0 million by February 15, 2027. The August 2025 Cedar Credit Facility was collateralized by three properties, consisting of Carll's Corner, Fieldstone Marketplace and South Philadelphia Parcels, and

is guaranteed by Cedar and WHLR. Upon the 2025 dispositions of a South Philadelphia land parcel, Carll's Corner and Fieldstone Marketplace, they were each released from collateral and the Company paid down approximately $10.3 million of the August 2025 Cedar Credit Facility. Although the August 2025 Cedar Credit Facility provides for total borrowings of up to $20.0 million, the Company did not have access to the full commitment as of March 31, 2026. Availability under the facility is subject to certain covenants and conditions established at origination, including requirements tied to projected asset sales and projected net sales proceeds.

***Convertible Notes***

Interest related to the Convertible Notes was $0.5 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026, the conversion price for the Convertible Notes was approximately $3.11 per share of the Company's Common Stock (approximately 8.04 shares of Common Stock for each $25.00 of principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted).

***Fair Value Measurements***

The fair value of the Company's fixed rate secured term loans was estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities, which are Level 3 inputs. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate secured term loans, which were determined to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, was $434.9 million and $445.5 million, respectively, and the carrying value of such loans, was $429.4 million and $436.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the Company's variable-rate loans approximated their carrying value.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes was estimated using available market information. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Convertible Notes, which were determined to be Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy, was $93.9 million and $102.7 million, respectively, and the carrying value, was $25.9 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

**7. Derivative Liabilities**

***Warrants and the Amended and Restated Warrants***

The Company's warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants") were issued to the holders thereof in

three tranches: Warrant Tranche A to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $2,105,538 per share, Warrant Tranche B

to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $2,523,045 per share, and Warrant Tranche C at an exercise price of

$4,205,076 per share, in each case as of December 31, 2025. Warrants had an expiration date of March 12,

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

**(Unaudited)**

In February 2026, the Warrants were amended and restated (as so amended, the "Amended and Restated Warrants"). The Amended and Restated Warrants were exercisable, in whole or in part (and at any time), for an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock representing 12% of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of any exercise (less the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock previously issued as a result of any partial exercise) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Amended and Restated Warrants were exercised in whole on March 24, 2026, and the Company issued 57,358 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Amended and Restated Warrants for net proceeds of $2 thousand, resulting in a $0.2 million loss, which is the excess amount of fair value of the Amended and Restated Warrants issued over the net proceeds received, included in "other expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***Fair Value of Conversion Features Related to Convertible Notes***

The Company identified certain embedded derivatives related to the conversion features of the Convertible Notes. In accordance with ASC 815-40, *Derivatives and Hedging Activities*, the embedded conversion options contained within the Convertible Notes were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through each reporting date. The Company utilized a binomial lattice model to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivatives. Significant observable and unobservable inputs include conversion price, stock price, dividend rate, expected volatility, risk-free rate, optional conversion price and term. The binomial lattice model is a Level 3 fair value technique because it requires the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to observable market indicators.

In measuring the embedded derivative liability, the Company used the following inputs:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Conversion price <sup>(1)</sup> | $0.60 <sup>(2)</sup> | $1.21 <sup>(3)</sup> |

**8. Commitments and Contingencies**

***Lease Commitments***

The Company is the lessee under several ground leases and for its corporate headquarters; all are accounted for as operating leases. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 5 to 50 years. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term of our leases was 39 and 35 years,

respectively. Rent expense under the operating lease agreements was $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

***Litigation***

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes. The Company believes that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position or its results of operations. The Company records a liability when it considers the loss probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In addition, the below legal proceedings are in process:

Preferred stockholders of Cedar have filed a putative class action suit against the directors of Cedar prior to the Cedar Acquisition (collectively, the "Former Cedar Directors") in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland (the "Circuit Court") captioned *Anthony Aquino, et al. v. Bruce Schanzer, et al.,* Case No.: C-15-CV-25-000731 (the "Aquino Action"). The Aquino Action alleges that the Former Cedar Directors breached their duties to Cedar's preferred stockholders through the Cedar Acquisition. The claims in the Aquino Action mirror the breach of duty claims that were a subject of the putative class action complaint entitled Kim, et al., v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al. (the "Kim Action"), which was dismissed with prejudice in 2023 by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The dismissal was affirmed on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in 2024. The plaintiffs in the Aquino action have alleged as damages the decline in value of Cedar preferred stock after the Cedar Acquisition was announced. The Circuit Court in the Aquino Action denied the Former Cedar Directors' motion to dismiss. The Company has a contractual obligation to indemnify the Former Cedar Directors, including for reasonable costs and legal fees. On May 5, 2026, the parties to the Aquino Action entered into a term sheet to resolve the litigation subject to approval by the Circuit Court and agreement by the Circuit Court to stay the current discovery schedule. At this juncture, the outcome of the matter cannot be predicted.

**9. Rental Revenue and Tenant Receivables**

***Tenant Receivables***

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company's allowance for uncollectible tenant receivables totaled $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $10.0 million and $9.7 million, respectively, in unbilled straight-line rent, which is included in "receivables, net."

On June 20, 2025, in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL"), our Board of Directors declared monthly reverse stock splits from August 21, 2025 to December 31, 2026 advisable, and directed that they be submitted to the Company's stockholders for consideration. The Company's stockholders approved monthly reverse stock splits from August 21, 2025 to December 31, 2026 at the annual meeting held on August 20, 2025.

The January 2026 Reverse Stock Split and April 2026 Reverse Stock Split was effected on January 16, 2026 and April 17, 2026, respectively, each at the reverse stock split ratio of one-for-three. The par value of each share of Common Stock remained unchanged after each such reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with any Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would have otherwise been issued a fractional share of the Company's Common Stock as a result of each such reverse stock split instead received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to the applicable fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on Nasdaq on each effective date thereof, without any interest.

All share and share-related information presented in this Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements, has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the decreased number of shares of Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Splits, unless otherwise noted.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 6,000,000 authorized shares of Series D Preferred Stock, without par value with a $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $67.5 million and $63.2 million in aggregate liquidation value, respectively.

On a monthly basis, each holder of the Series D Preferred Stock may, at such holder's option, request that the Company redeem any or all of such holder's shares (each redemption date, a "Holder Redemption Date") at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to and including the Holder Redemption Date, payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock, or any combination thereof, at the Company's option.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company processed redemptions for an aggregate of 17,902 shares of Series D Preferred Stock from the holders thereof. Accordingly, the Company issued 81,491 shares of Common Stock in settlement of an aggregate redemption price of approximately $0.8 million. The value of the Common Stock issued to holders redeeming their Series D Preferred Stock is the volume weighted average price per share of our Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the Holder Redemption Date as reported on Nasdaq.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had received requests to redeem 5,200 shares of Series D Preferred Stock with respect to the April 2026 Holder Redemption Date. As such, the redemption of these shares of the Series D Preferred Stock is considered certain at March 31, 2026 and the liquidation value associated with these shares of $0.2 million is presented as a liability.

The Company issued Series D Preferred Stock in these transactions in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering.

The Company received valid and unencumbered title to the Cedar Preferred Stock as consideration for the Series D Preferred Stock.

Management evaluated the transactions under ASC 845, *Nonmonetary transactions,* and determined that the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock issued was approximately the fair value of the Cedar Preferred Stock received as consideration. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of these transactions. The fair value of the Cedar Preferred Stock received and retired is compared to its carrying value, and as a result the Company recognized $2.6 million in deemed distributions included in "deemed distribution related to noncontrolling interests" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

***Noncontrolling Interests - Consolidated Subsidiary***

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Cedar repurchased and retired 1,301,159 shares of Cedar Series C Preferred Stock in two tender offers. The shares of Cedar Series C Preferred Stock were repurchased for an aggregate of $21.2 million at an average price of $16.29 per share, representing a premium of $6.54 per share to the carrying value . The repurchase of the noncontrolling interests caused the recognition of $8.5 million in deemed distributions included in "deemed distribution related to noncontrolling interests" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, during the three months ended March 31, 2025. There were no repurchases of noncontrolling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

***Earnings per share***

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net (loss) income attributable to the Company's common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into shares of Common Stock.

**Company Overview**

The Company, a Maryland corporation, is a fully integrated, self-managed commercial real estate investment trust that owns, leases and operates income-producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored centers. In August 2022, the Company acquired Cedar. As a result of that acquisition, Cedar became a subsidiary of the Company.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, owned and operated sixty-two properties, including fifty-nine retail shopping centers and three undeveloped properties in South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Jersey, Florida, Connecticut, Kentucky, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Alabama, Maryland and West Virginia. This list includes the properties acquired through the Cedar Acquisition.

The Company's portfolio of properties is dependent upon regional and local economic conditions, and is geographically concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Northeast, which markets represent approximately 47%, 44% and 9% respectively, of the total annualized base rent of the properties in its portfolio as of March 31, 2026. The Company's geographic concentration may cause it to be more susceptible to adverse developments in those markets than if it owned a more geographically diverse portfolio. Additionally, the Company's retail shopping center properties depend on anchor stores or major tenants to attract shoppers and could be adversely affected by the loss of, or a store closure by, one or more of these tenants.

The Amended and Restated Warrants were exercisable, in whole or in part (and at any time), for an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock representing 12% of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of any exercise (less the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock previously issued as a result of any partial exercise) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Amended and Restated Warrants were exercised in whole on March 24, 2026, and the Company issued 57,358 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Amended and Restated Warrants for net proceeds of $2 thousand, resulting in a $0.2 million loss, which is the excess amount of fair value of the Amended and Restated Warrants issued over the net proceeds received, included in "other expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***Reverse Stock Splits***

On June 20, 2025, in accordance with MGCL, our Board of Directors declared monthly reverse stock splits from August 21, 2025 to December 31, 2026 advisable, and directed that they be submitted to the Company's stockholders for consideration. The Company's stockholders approved monthly reverse stock splits from August 21, 2025 to December 31, 2026 at the annual meeting held on August 20, 2025.

The January 2026 Reverse Stock Split and the April Reverse Stock Split were effected on January 16, 2026 and April 17, 2026, respectively, each at the reverse stock split ratio of one-for-three. The par value of each share of Common Stock remained unchanged after the reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with any reverse stock split. Stockholders who would have otherwise been issued a fractional share of the Company's Common Stock as a result of the reverse stock split instead received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to the applicable fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on Nasdaq on the effective date thereof, without any interest.

***Exchanges of Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock for Common Stock***

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company has issued an aggregate amount of 185,886 shares of its Common Stock to unaffiliated holders of its securities in exchange for a total of 54,702 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock and a total of 27,351 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock, retiring $2.5 million in preferred stock liquidation value.

***Series D Preferred Stock - Redemptions***

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company processed redemptions of an aggregate of 17,902 shares of Series D Preferred Stock from the holders thereof.

As such, the redemption of these shares of the Series D Preferred Stock is considered certain at March 31, 2026 and the liquidation value associated with these shares of $0.2 million is presented as a liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

***Convertible Notes***

As of March 31, 2026, the conversion price for the Convertible Notes was approximately $3.11 per share of the Company's Common Stock (approximately 8.04 shares of Common Stock for each $25.00 of principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted).

***Subscription Agreements, Issuance of Series D Preferred Stock and Noncontrolling Interest Contributions***

Immediately following the closing of each transaction, the Company contributed the acquired Cedar Preferred Stock to Cedar and those shares were retired.

Management evaluated the transactions under ASC 845, *Nonmonetary transactions,* and determined that the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock issued was approximately the fair value of the Cedar Preferred Stock received as consideration. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of this exchange. The fair value of the Cedar Preferred Stock received and retired is compared to its carrying value, and as a result the Company recognized $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 in deemed distributions included as a component of net loss attributable to common shareholders.

| **Net (Loss) Income** | $(1171) | $2373 | $(3544) | (149.3)% |

---

**Revenues** were lower primarily as a result of (1) a decrease of $1.4 million in rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, net of credit adjustments on operating lease receivables, attributable to sold properties, (2) a decrease of $0.4 million in market lease amortization and straight line rent, partially offset by (3) an increase of $1.5 million in rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, net of credit adjustments on operating lease receivables, attributable to Same-Properties (as defined below).

**Property operating expenses** were lower primarily as a result of (1) a decrease of $1.0 million in operating expenses attributable to sold properties, partially offset by (2) an increase of $0.2 million in repairs and maintenance, (3) an increase of $0.2 million in real estate taxes and insurance and (4) an increase of $0.1 million in utilities.

**Depreciation and amortization** were lower primarily as a result of properties sold in 2025 and 2026.

**Gain on disposal of properties, net** related to the sale of 3 retail shopping centers and one outparcel sold in 2026 compared to three retail shopping centers sold in 2025.

**Corporate general and administrative** was higher as a result of (1) an increase of $0.2 million in salaries, partially offset by (2) a decrease of $0.1 million in professional fees.

**Interest income** was lower primarily a result of lower average cash balances in 2026.

**Interest expense** decreased 9.9%. Below is a comparison of the components which make up interest expense (in thousands):

---

---

(1) Includes the April 2025 Cedar Bridge Loan and the August 2025 Cedar Credit Facility.

The above decrease in property debt interest inclusive of Cedar debt was $0.2 million a result of a decrease in the average principal debt balance.

**Net changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities** was a $3.4 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which represents a non-cash adjustment from a change in the fair value, primarily related to the conversion price on the Convertible Notes, which can only be adjusted downward based on the redemption price(s) of the Series D Preferred Stock relative to market trade prices of the Convertible Notes and Common Stock. See Note 7 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

**Gain on Preferred Stock redemptions** is a result of the fair market value of the Common Stock issued on redemptions and exchanges of the Company's Preferred Stock compared to the Preferred Stock's carrying value. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company realized a gain of $0.2 million and $0.8 million in the aggregate, respectively, as a result of the fair market value of the Common Stock issued in these transactions being less than the carrying value of the Preferred Stock retired.

**Other expense** represents expenses which are non-operating in nature. Other expenses were $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which primarily consisted of $0.5 million in fees paid in connection with the Amended and Restated Warrants, a $0.2 million loss on the exercise of the Amended and Restated Warrants and other capital structure costs, including the registration of the offer and sale of the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Amended and Restated Warrants and expenses incurred in connection with the Reverse Stock Splits. Other expenses were $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025,which primarily consisted of capital structure costs, including the registration of our Common Stock to issue in settlement of Series D Preferred Stock redemptions, expenses incurred in connection with the Reverse Stock Splits and redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock by holders thereof.

***Same-Property Net Operating Income***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

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.

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.

The following table is a reconciliation of Same-Property NOI from operating income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, in thousands, unaudited):

------

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |

| Add (deduct): |  |  |
| Gain on disposal of properties, net | (2557) | (5688) |
| Corporate general & administrative | 2736 | 2706 |
| Depreciation and amortization | 5232 | 6231 |
| Straight-line rents | (334) | (399) |
| Above (below) market lease amortization, net | (360) | (740) |
| Other non-property revenue | (2) | (3) |
| NOI related to properties not defined as Same-Property | 62 | (380) |
| **Same-Property Net Operating Income** | $14964 | $13869 |

---

Total Same-Property NOI was $15.0 million and $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing a increase of 7.9% due to a 7.0% increase in property revenue, partially offset by a 5.5% increase in property expenses.

***Funds from Operations***

We use funds from operations ("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 the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("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.

We believe the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit's 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 amortization on loans and acquisition costs. Therefore, in addition to FFO, management uses Adjusted FFO ("AFFO"), 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.

A reconciliation of net (loss) income to FFO available to common stockholders and AFFO is shown in the table below (in thousands):

| FFO per Common Share | $(3.47) | $(1668.05) |
| AFFO per Common Share | $5.97 | $838.17 |

---

Other non-recurring and non-cash expenses are costs of the Company that we believe will not be incurred on a go-forward basis. Other non-recurring expenses were $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a result of $0.5 million fees paid related to the Amended and Restated Warrants and a $0.2 million loss on the exercise of the Amended and Restated Warrants and loan prepayment premiums. Other non-recurring expenses were $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a result of loan prepayment premiums.

***Macroeconomic Considerations***

Evolving macroeconomic conditions, including global macroeconomic challenges such as changes in trade policies,

sanctions, treaties, tariffs, regulatory requirements, uncertainty in the financial markets, economic instability and fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, may affect our business. Substantially all of the Company's leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and many of the operating expenses it incurs. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. However, significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business. Conversely, deflation could lead to downward pressure on rents and other sources of income.

Fluctuations in interest rates and governmental tariff-related measures could significantly impact our operating portfolio and overall financial performance. Interest rate increases could result in higher incremental borrowing costs for the Company and our tenants. The duration of the Company's indebtedness and our relatively low exposure to floating rate debt have mitigated the direct impact of inflation and interest rate increases. In a low or stable interest rate environment, we may benefit from lower borrowing costs, enabling strategic investments, acquisitions, or capital returns to shareholders. Additionally, we monitor market conditions to adjust our capital allocation accordingly, maintain a disciplined financial approach and seek to optimize returns while managing exposure to interest rate volatility. The degree and pace of inflation and interest rate changes have had and may continue to have impacts on our business. Changes in macroeconomic conditions could lead to construction cost variances for the Company, additional tenant costs, which may affect rental rates, and shifts in tenant mix that may impact the Company's operating income.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

------

At March 31, 2026, our consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $48.0 million compared to consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $47.0 million at March 31, 2025. Cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities were as follows (in thousands, unaudited):

---

| | | | | |

| Financing activities | (9003) | (34364) | 25361 | 73.8% |

---

***Operating Activities***

Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, was $5.4 million and $4.8 million for 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to (1) an increase of $1.1 million in Same-Property NOI, partially offset by (2) an increase of $0.4 million in other expense primarily due to fees related to the Amended and Restated Warrants.

***Investing Activities***

Our cash flows from investing activities decreased $12.3 million, primarily due to (1) the proceeds from the sale of four properties sold in 2026 compared to the three property sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025, partially offset by (2) the decrease in capital expenditures of $0.2 million.

***Financing Activities***

Our cash flows used in financing activities were $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $34.4 million for the comparable period in 2025.

Financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily consisted of:

*Cash outflows:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4.4 million payoff of the Tuckernuck loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.7 million payment on June 2022 Term Loan related to the sale of Moncks Corner, Ridgeland, an outparcel at St. George Plaza and Darien Shopping Center;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.3 million for distributions paid on noncontrolling interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.5 million scheduled loan principal payments on debt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.1 million for loan prepayment premiums.

Financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily consisted of:

*Cash outflows:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* $21.2 million repurchase of noncontrolling interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $9.1 million payment on October 2022 Cedar Term Loan related to the sale of Webster Commons;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* $2.1 million for distributions paid on noncontrolling interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.0 million payment on June 2022 Term Loan related to the sale of South Lake;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.5 million for loan prepayment premiums; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.4 million scheduled loan principal payments on debt.

The Company continues to endeavor to manage its debt prudently with the objective of achieving a conservative capital structure and minimizing leverage within the Company. Our debt balances, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, consisted of the following (in thousands):

------

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| | **(unaudited)** | |
| Fixed-rate notes | $469213 | $476875 |
| Variable-rate lines of credit | 5966 | 5966 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total debt | $475179 | $482841 |

---

The weighted average interest rate and term of our fixed-rate debt were 5.6% and 6.3 years, respectively, at March 31, 2026. The weighted average interest rate and term of our fixed-rate debt were 5.5% and 7.3 years, respectively, at March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has $2.0 million of debt maturing during the twelve months ending March 31, 2027. While we anticipate being able to refinance all the loans at reasonable market terms upon maturity, our inability to do so may materially impact our financial position and results of operations. See Note 6 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional mortgage indebtedness details.

***Material Cash Requirements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments***

Our expected material cash requirements for the twelve months ended March 31, 2027 and thereafter are comprised of (i) contractually obligated expenditures; (ii) other essential expenditures; (iii) other investments; and (iv) repurchases of noncontrolling interests.

The primary liquidity needs of the Company, in addition to the funding of our ongoing operations, at March 31, 2026 are $2.0 million in principal and regularly scheduled payments due in the twelve months ended March 31, 2027 as described in Note 6 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition to liquidity required to fund debt payments and construction commitments, we may incur some level of capital expenditures during the year for our existing properties that cannot be passed on to our tenants.

To meet these future liquidity needs, the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** had $23.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** had $24.4 million held in lender reserves for the purpose of tenant improvements, lease commissions, real estate taxes, insurance and includes $6.0 million to secure the April 2025 Cedar Bridge Loan at March 31, 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** intends to use cash generated from operations during the twelve months ending March 31, 2027.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company retired a total of 294,000 shares of Cedar Series C Preferred Stock. Since 2024, the Company repurchased and retired a total of 3,064,778 shares of Cedar Series C Preferred Stock and 592,372 shares of Cedar Series B Preferred Stock, which carried an aggregate liquidation value of $91.4 million, for approximately $53.4 million, including fees and expenses, and for 214,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. These repurchases were funded by asset sales, the April 2025 Cedar Bridge Loan and issuance of Series D Preferred Stock. The shares retired since 2024 will reduce future annual dividend payments by $6.1 million. The Company intends to continue repurchasing its Cedar Preferred Stock as both series are currently trading at a discount to their liquidation value, presenting a strategic opportunity to buy back shares at favorable prices. By reducing the number of shareholders eligible for dividend payments, the Company believes it can offset the net operating income lost from the recent sales of certain properties as it seeks to enhance its financial stability, strengthen its balance sheet, optimize its capital allocation and maximize shareholder value.

Additionally, the Company plans to undertake measures to grow its operations and increase liquidity through delivering space currently leased but not yet occupied, backfilling vacant anchor spaces, replacing tenants who are in default of their lease terms, increasing future lease revenue through tenant improvements partially funded by restricted cash, disposition of non-core assets in the ordinary course of business and refinancing properties.

In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The Company intends to continue to operate its business in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax requirements.

Our success in executing on our strategy will dictate our liquidity needs going forward. If we are unable to execute in these areas, our ability to grow may be limited without additional capital.

***Convertible Notes***

The Convertible Notes could have the effect of causing, if interest is paid in the future in shares of Series D Preferred

Stock, substantial dilution of the Series D Preferred Stock and reduction in the value of any Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, depending on the prices at which the ongoing monthly redemptions of Series D Preferred Stock occur, the conversion price for the Convertible Notes could be repeatedly adjusted downwards, which has caused, and could continue to cause, significant downward pressure on the value of the Company's Common Stock.

***Series D Preferred Stock***

As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock had an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $41.2 million, with aggregate accrued and unpaid dividends in the amount of approximately $26.3 million, for a total liquidation value of $67.5 million. On a monthly basis, each holder of Series D Preferred Stock has the right, at such holder's option, to request that the Company redeem any or all of such holder's shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

As the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock continue to exercise their redemption rights on a monthly basis, the Company will continue to pay the aggregate redemption price in shares of our Common Stock. The Company does not believe it is in its interests to liquidate assets or incur indebtedness to fund cash redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock and, accordingly, it has no intention of doing so. Therefore, the Company intends to continue to settle redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock in Common Stock. We believe that the issuance of Common Stock to settle redemptions in Common Stock will continue to result in a substantial dilution of the outstanding Common Stock.

**Item 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Controls and Procedures.**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026 (the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

*Exchange Transactions*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued an aggregate of 185,886 shares of its Common Stock to unaffiliated holders of the Company's securities in exchange for 27,351 shares of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock and 54,702 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds as a result of the exchanges, and the shares of the Preferred Stock exchanged have been retired and cancelled. The Company issued the Common Stock in these transactions in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act on the basis that the issuance of Common Stock constituted an exchange with existing holders of the Company's securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such transactions.

*Sales of Series D Preferred Stock*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued an aggregate of 187,000 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock to certain investors in consideration for 294,000 shares of Cedar Series C Preferred Stock held by such investors. Immediately following the closing of each transaction, WHLR contributed the acquired Cedar Preferred Stock to Cedar and those shares were retired. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds as a result of the transactions. The Company issued Series D Preferred Stock in these transactions in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering.

All of the foregoing issuances of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock were made to "accredited investors."
