ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On November 13, 2013, the Registrant filed a form 8-K to report that WHLR-HPA-1, LLC, (“WHLR-HPA”), a subsidiary of the Registrant’s operating partnership that owns real property known as the Harps at Harbor Point (“Harp’s Food Store”) located in Delaware County, Oklahoma, entered into a settlement agreement with Crossland Heavy Contractors (“Crossland”). Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the affiliated parties that developed the Harp’s Food Store property agreed to pay Crossland $856,215.47 to satisfy in full a mechanic and materialmen’s lien that Crossland recorded against three properties that included the Harp’s Food Store property and two adjacent properties owned by the Registrant’s affiliates.

On or about January 31, 2014, the affiliated parties satisfied their obligations under the settlement agreement in full, thereby extinguishing the settlement agreement, resulting in no liability to the Registrant.
