SAFE HARBOR This presentation may contain “forward-looking” statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When the Company uses words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate” or similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters, it is making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions it can give no assurance that expected results will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from expectations. Specifically, the Company’s statements regarding: (i) the anticipated implementation of the Company’s growth, acquisition and disposition strategy; (ii) the future generation of value to the Company from the acquisition of service orientated retail properties in secondary and tertiary markets; (iii) the development and return on undeveloped properties; and (iv) anticipated dividend coverage are forward-looking statements. 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. For these reasons, among others, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements in this press release. For additional factors that could cause the operations of the Company to differ materially from those listed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available for review at www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward‐looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.

FFO and AFFO Other non-recurring expenses are detailed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our March 2016 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Pro forma AFFO assumes the A-C Portfolio acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016. Additionally, we excluded all non-recurring expenses detailed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our March 2016 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any additional common stock and common units issued during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were outstanding for the entire period. The Pro forma AFFO is being presented solely for purposes of illustrating the potential impact of these transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2016, based on information currently available to management, and is not necessarily indicative of what actual results would have been had the transactions referred to above occurred on January 1, 2016. The Company adjusted the 2015 previously reported AFFO to be consistent with the 2016 AFFO presentation, primarily as it relates to the treatment of capital expenditures, non-cash costs, and other non-recurring expenses. Additionally, Wheeler did not provide Pro Forma AFFO per common share and common unit for 2015 as we consider it not meaningful to the 2016 presentation.
