[2] See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” for a description of the redemption values related to the redeemable noncontrolling interests. In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), an increase in redemption values 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.

[3] The Company presents its EPS based on the treasury stock method. The Company reverted to the treasury stock presentation from the two-class presentation due to the immaterial number of participating shares outstanding as of March 31, 2016. If the EPS presentation had been based on the two-class method, the following adjustments would have been made to the presentation of EPS for the year ended December 31, 2016. Net income attributable to common shareholders would have been reduced by an additional $4 thousand, for the year ended December 31, 2016. The allocation of net income to participating securities would have been $8 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2016, reducing net income attributable to common shareholders by a total of $12 thousand for the same period. Basic EPS would not change. Weighted average diluted shared outstanding would have been reduced by 7,185 shares for the year ended December 31, 2016. Diluted EPS would not change. If the EPS presentation had been based on the two-class method, the following adjustments would have been made to the presentation of EPS for the year ended December 31, 2015. Net income attributable to common shareholders would have been reduced by an additional $90 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the allocation of net income to participating securities would have been $92 thousand for the same period, reducing net income attributable to common shareholders by a total of $182 thousand, for the same period. Total basic EPS and basic EPS from continuing operations would each decrease by $0.01 per share for the year ended December 31, 2015. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding would have been reduced by 167,937 shares for the same period. Diluted EPS would not change.If the EPS presentation had been based on the two-class method, the following adjustments would have been made to the presentation of EPS for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net income attributable to common shareholders would have been reduced by an additional$228 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the allocation of net income to participating securities would have been $335 thousand for the same period, reducing net income attributable to common shareholders by a total of $563 thousand, for the same period. Total basic EPS and basic EPS from continuing operations would each decrease by $0.01 per share for the year ended December 31, 2014. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding would have been reduced by 428,913 shares for the same period. Total diluted EPS and diluted EPS from discontinued operations would each decrease by $0.01 per share.

[4] Includes the effect of adjustments to net income attributable to the Company to arrive at net income attributable to common shareholders.

[5] The diluted EPS computations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 do not assume the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of the following shares for the following periods because the result would have been antidilutive for the periods indicated. As a result of the anti-dilution, the potential common shares excluded from the diluted EPS computation are as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014Shares excluded due to anti-dilution (treasury method):(In thousands)Potential common shares from: Convertible trust preferred securities (a)1 1 1Total shares excluded due to anti-dilution1 1 1 For the year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014Shares excluded due to exercise price exceeding the average market price of common shares during the period (total outstanding):(In thousands)Potential common shares from: Options, restricted stock, or other dilutive securities (b)270 548 829Total shares excluded due to exercise price exceeding the average market price of common shares during the period270 548 829(a) If the effect of the conversion of the trust preferred securities would have been dilutive, an immaterial amount of interest expense, net of tax, related to the convertible trust preferred securities would have been added back to net income attributable to common shareholders for the diluted EPS computation for the years presented.(b)Options to purchase shares of common stock, non-participating performance- and certain time-based restricted 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.

[6] If the effect of the conversion of the trust preferred securities would have been dilutive, an immaterial amount of interest expense, net of tax, related to the convertible trust preferred securities would have been added back to net income attributable to common shareholders for the diluted EPS computation for the years presented.

[7] Options to purchase shares of common stock, non-participating performance- and certain time-based restricted 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.
