Potential Price-Sensitive or Market-Moving Information

New Financial Information Released: The most potentially price-sensitive element of this filing is the availability of previously undisclosed financial and operational data for the year ended December 31, 2025, as referenced in the press release and supplemental exhibits. Investors should review WHLR’s press release and the supplemental financials to assess any material changes in Cedar’s operational performance, financial condition, or strategic direction that could impact the value of the preferred shares (CDRpB and CDRpC).

Action for Investors: If the supplemental information reveals material changes (e.g., improved or deteriorated financial performance, changes to dividend policy, new strategic initiatives, or adverse events), it could significantly affect share values. As the details of the supplemental information are incorporated by reference but not reproduced in the 8-K, investors are strongly encouraged to access the actual press release and supplemental materials directly from the SEC or WHLR’s website.

What Investors Should Watch

• Any changes in dividend policy or financial performance for the preferred stock classes.
• Disclosure of new risks, strategic shifts, or changes in management’s outlook.
• Any commentary on the integration with Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust.
• Updates on portfolio performance, asset valuation, or capital structure that may affect the preferred shares.
