ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
Revere Loan Agreement
On May 14, 2018, Wheeler REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (“Wheeler REIT”) of which Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is the sole general partner, entered into a Second Amendment to Loan Documents (the “Second Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement (the “Revere Term Loan”) with Revere High Yield Fund, LP (“Revere”), dated April 8, 2016, as amended by the First Amendment to the Revere Term Loan (the "First Amendment"), dated August 25, 2017. The Second Amendment extends the maturity date to November 1, 2018 from May 15, 2018. Further, the definition of “Exit Fee” in Section 1.01 of the Revere Term Loan increased to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) from Three Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($360,000). Further, the Second Amendment amended Section 2.04 of the Revere Term Loan so that commencing on June 1, 2018, the Company shall pay monthly principal payments in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) until the balance of the Revere Term Loan is less than Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000), at which time the monthly principal payments are reduced to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). In addition, the Second Amendment provides that as of May 1, 2018, the interest rate increased from eight percent (8%) per annum to nine percent (9%) per annum; provided, however, that if the then outstanding principal balance is not less than Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) by July 15, 2018, the rate increases to ten percent (10%) per annum from and after July 15, 2018 until November 1, 2018. Lastly, the Second Amendment provides for a “Special Servicing Fee” where upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Revere Term Loan), Revere may transfer the loan to a special workout person (”Special Servicer”) for workout, and, among other things, advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing, administering or amending the Revere Term Loan and is entitled to collect a fee for its services equal to ½ of 1% per annum based on the unpaid principal balance of the Revere Term Loan at the time of transfer to the Special Servicer. The Company paid down Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) on the Revere Term Loan in conjunction with this Second Amendment. As of May 17, 2018, the principal balance of the Revere Term Loan was Six Million Three Hundred Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety One Dollars ($6,307,891).
There is no material relationship between Wheeler REIT, the Company and Revere.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Second Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Second Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
