Common Shares Repurchased

In March 2020, our Board of Trustees authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of our outstanding common shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased and retired 1.4 million common shares for $41.2 million, an average purchase price of $29.01 per share.

Earnings Per Common Share

The following is a summary of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share and a reconciliation of the amounts of net income (loss) available to common shareholders used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per common share to net income (loss):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
	(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Net income (loss)	$	(40,263)	$	(3,328)	$	7,912	$	24,920
Net (income) loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests		3,483		288		(1,767)		(3,099)
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders		(36,780)		(3,040)		6,145		21,821
Distributions to participating securities		(907)		(996)		(907)		(996)
Net income (loss) available to common shareholders — basic and diluted	$	(37,687)	$	(4,036)	$	5,238	$	20,825
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — basic and diluted		133,613		131,754		134,078		127,189
Earnings (loss) per common share:
Basic	$	(0.28)	$	(0.03)	$	0.04	$	0.16
Diluted	$	(0.28)	$	(0.03)	$	0.04	$	0.16

The effect of the redemption of OP Units and Time-Based LTIP Units that were outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 is excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per common share as the assumed exchange of such units for common shares on a one-for-one basis was antidilutive (the assumed redemption of these units would have no impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share). Since OP Units and Time-Based LTIP Units, which are held by noncontrolling interests, are attributed gains at an identical proportion to the common shareholders, the gains attributable and their equivalent weighted average OP Unit and Time-Based LTIP Unit impact are excluded from net income (loss) available to common shareholders and from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in calculating diluted earnings per common share. Performance-Based LTIP Units, Special Performance-Based LTIP Units and Formation Awards, which totaled 5.2 million and 5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and 4.7 million for the three and six

months ended June 30, 2019, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as they were antidilutive, but potentially could be dilutive in the future.
