Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 9, 2022, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company" or "Cedar") entered into the Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of March 2, 2022, by and among Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., WHLR Merger Sub Inc., WHLR OP Merger Sub LLC, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and Cedar Realty Trust Partnership, L.P. The Second Amendment provides that payment of the Closing Dividend (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will occur four (4) days after closing of the mergers (rather than prior to closing). The Second Amendment also clarifies that payment of merger consideration on account of shares of common stock underlying Company restricted stock awards and Company performance RSU awards will be made directly by the Surviving Company (as defined in the Merger Agreement) via the Company's regular payroll procedures (rather than via the paying agent as described in the Merger Agreement).

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
