Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward‐looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not historical fact may be deemed to be forward‐looking statements. Specifically, the Company’s statements regarding the anticipated implementation of the Company’s growth and acquisition strategy and the future generation of value to the Company from the acquisition of service orientated retail properties in secondary and tertiary markets are forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward‐looking statements, including, among other factors, local conditions such as oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area; competition from other available space; dependence on rental income from real property; the loss of, significant downsizing of or bankruptcy of a major tenant; constructing properties or expansions that produce a desired yield on investment; the Company’s ability to renew or enter into new leases at favorable rates; to buy or sell assets on commercially reasonable terms; to complete acquisitions or dispositions of assets under contract, to secure equity or debt financing on commercially acceptable terms or at all; to enter into definitive agreements with regard to financing and joint venture arrangements or the Company’s failure to satisfy conditions to the completion of these arrangements. For additional factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated in the forward‐looking statements, please refer to “Risk Factors” listed in the our filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to the Exchange Act, which are available at www.sec.gov. Readers are cautioned that forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and should not place undue reliance on them. In formulating the forward looking statements contained in this presentation, it has been assumed that business and economic conditions affecting Wheeler will continue substantially in the ordinary course. These assumptions, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect.
