* Dilutive shares primarily result from share-based employee compensation plans and a weighted average portion of the warrants issued to AIG shareholders as part of the recapitalization in January 2011. The number of shares excluded from diluted shares outstanding were 0.2 million, 0.3 million and 38 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because the effect of including those shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.
