The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This statement relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 2529 Virginia Beach Blvd., Virginia Beach, Virginia 23452.

 

This Schedule 13D is being jointly filed by SR Equity Ventures, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Ventures”), Bradley Schafer (“Schafer”), Steven Norcutt (“Norcutt”), N. Christopher (Kit) Richardson (“Kit Richardson”), Evan Richardson (“E. Richardson”), Gregory J. Springer, (“Springer”), Schafer Richardson, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“SR, Inc.”) and David Smith (“Smith” and together with Schafer, Norcutt, Kit Richardson, E. Richardson, Springer and SR, Inc., collectively, the “SR Group”), and relates to an aggregate of 822,665 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer. Schafer may also be deemed to beneficially own (i) 400 shares of Series B Preferred and (ii) 1,200 shares of Series D Preferred, as set forth above on Schafer’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, but such shares are not included within the aggregate number of Shares held by the Reporting Persons set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of the Series B Preferred and Series D Preferred is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, but neither is entitled to voting rights except as required by law.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, the total cost for purchasing the Shares reported as owned by the Reporting Persons, excluding brokerage commissions, is approximately $1,777,356.42 in the aggregate. The source of these funds was working capital or personal funds, as applicable, as set forth above.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)

The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 822,655 Shares, which represents approximately 8.46% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares. The aggregate number and percentage (based on) of outstanding Shares owned beneficially by each Reporting Person are set forth on the respective cover page of this Schedule 13D on which each such Reporting Person is named, all of which are incorporated into this response by reference.

 

Ventures is a member-managed limited liability company. Schafer, Norcutt, Kit Richardson, E. Richardson, Springer and SR, Inc. are the sole members of Ventures, and, as such, control the management and operations of Ventures. Therefore, Ventures may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with regard to the Shares held by Ventures with each of Schafer, Norcutt, Kit Richardson, E. Richardson, Springer and Schafer Richardson, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“SR, Inc.”). Smith is not a member of Ventures, and, therefore, does not share the voting and dispositive power with regard to the Shares held by Ventures. Smith is not a member of Ventures, and, therefore, does not share the voting and dispositive power with regard to the Shares held by Ventures. The voting and dispositive power of each of Ventures, the members of the SR Group and Smith in Item 1, all of which are incorporated into this response by reference.

 

The Share numbers and percentages set forth in this Item 5(a) do not include (i) 400 shares of Series B Preferred or (ii) 1,200 shares of Series D Preferred, or the number of Shares into which each is convertible, controlled by Schafer. Further information regarding the shares of Series B Preferred and Series D Preferred is set forth on Schafer’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, all of which are incorporated into this response by reference.

       
(b) Ventures is a member-managed limited liability company. Schafer, Norcutt, Kit Richardson, E. Richardson, Springer and SR, Inc., are the sole members of Ventures, and, as such, control the management and operations of Ventures. Smith is not a member of Ventures. The voting and dispositive power of the SR Group and its members is described in Items 1 and 5(a), all of which is incorporated into this response by reference.
       
(c) All of the transactions in the Shares effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. No other transactions by any Reporting Persons other than those transactions set forth below have occurred during the past 60 days.
       
(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares beneficially owned by any Reporting Person.
