See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a description of the redemption values related to the redeemable noncontrolling interests. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), an increase in redemption value from period to period reduces income attributable to common shareholders. Decreases in redemption value from period to period increase income attributable to common shareholders, but only to the extent that the cumulative change in redemption value remains a cumulative increase since adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2009.


(2)	Consideration paid in excess of carrying value for the repurchase of the Series B preferred stock of $11.7 million is considered a deemed dividend and, for purposes of calculating EPS, reduces net income attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.


(3)	The diluted EPS computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 do not assume the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of the following shares for these periods because the result would have been anti-dilutive for the periods indicated. As a result of the anti-dilution, the potential common shares excluded from the diluted EPS computation are as follows:



	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Shares excluded due to exercise price exceeding the average market price of common shares during the period (total outstanding):	(In thousands)
Potential common shares from:
Stock options or other dilutive securities (a)	767	1,214	834	1,446
Total shares excluded due to exercise price exceeding the average market price of common shares during the period	767	1,214	834	1,446


(a)	Options to purchase shares of common stock and other dilutive securities that were outstanding at period ends were not included in the computation of diluted EPS or in the above anti-dilution table because their exercise or conversion prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective periods.
