See Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2013 Annual Report for a description of the Company’s common equity units. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, all shares related to the assumed issuance of shares in settlement of the applicable purchase contracts have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as these assumed shares are anti-dilutive.
