(1)
Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges excluding deposits and preferred stock dividends by approximately $94 million and $47 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
(2)
Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges including deposits and preferred stock dividends by approximately $64 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

On July 29, 2016, we completed the previously announced $267 million redemption of our Series C Preferred Stock. This transaction reduced stockholders equity by approximately $372 million with a $267 million reduction in Preferred Stock and a $105 million reduction related to the payment of deferred dividends.

For the purpose of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, "earnings" consist of income before income taxes and extraordinary items plus fixed charges. "Fixed charges" consist of interest on short-term and long-term debt and where indicated, interest on deposits. The ratios are based solely on historical financial information, and no pro forma adjustments have been made thereto.
