Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:WHLR), a small-cap REIT with a market capitalization of $0.62 million and annual revenue of $104.31 million, has announced an adjustment to the conversion price of its 7.00% Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2031, according to a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The adjustment follows the April 7, 2025 redemptions of the company's Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company's stock has experienced significant volatility recently, with several key metrics suggesting potential undervaluation.

Previously set at approximately $4.56 per share of common stock, the conversion price for the notes has been reduced to approximately $1.97 per share, while the current stock price stands at $2.64. This change represents a significant discount and increases the number of shares obtainable per $25.00 of principal amount from approximately 5.48 to approximately 12.69 shares. InvestingPro data reveals the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.18, indicating strong ability to meet short-term obligations.

The adjustment was triggered by the April redemptions, where the lowest conversion price of Series D Preferred Stock into common stock was around $3.58. The conversion price adjustment is a direct result of these transactions, as outlined by the terms of the indenture governing the notes.

On Monday, Wheeler REIT processed 13 redemption requests from holders of its Series D Preferred Stock, totaling 38,990 shares at a redemption price of approximately $40.75 per share. Settlement for these redemptions was made through the issuance of 443,715 shares of common stock.
