(1) Restricted shares issued by White Mountains receive dividends, and therefore, are considered participating securities.
(2) Restricted shares outstanding vest either in equal annual installments or upon a stated date. (See Note 15 - “Employee Share-Based Compensation Plans”).
(3) The diluted earnings per share denominator for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes the impact of 125,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of the non-qualified options outstanding, which results in 882 incremental shares outstanding over the period. The incremental shares had an effect on diluted earning per share of less than $0.01. The diluted earnings per share denominator for the three months ended March 31, 2015 does not include the impact of 125,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of the non-qualified options outstanding as they were anti-dilutive to the calculation.
