ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On November 21, 2014, the Registrant, through Wheeler REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership of which the Registrant is the sole general partner (the "Operating Partnership"), acquired the membership interests of Harbor Point Associates, LLC ("Harbor Point") for $2.4 million, paid for using a combination of cash and the assumption of debt. Harbor Point owns 7.2 acres of undeveloped land in Grove, Oklahoma, which the Registrant believes can accommodate a 77,000 square foot retail facility. The future retail facility will be located adjacent to the Harp's Foods property currently owned by the Registrant.

The membership interests were acquired from Sooner Capital, LLC ("Sooner Capital"). Jon S. Wheeler, the Registrant's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the managing member of Sooner Capital. No other director, officer or affiliate of the Registrant is affiliated with Sooner Capital.
