During the three months ended March 31, 2017, options and other rights to purchase 1,263,635 shares of common stock, which includes 898,635 shares of non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock units, were outstanding and were excluded in the computation of diluted income per common share. Additionally, 1,445,921 shares of non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards which are contingent upon the Company meeting an undefined cumulative three year earnings target and continued employment are excluded from the computation of diluted income per common share as the contingency has not been satisfied at March 31, 2017. Lastly, there were 95,000 shares of Preference Shares outstanding which were convertible into 9,550,667 Class A common shares at March 31, 2017, and were excluded from the diluted income per common share calculation since the preference shareholders do not participate in net losses of the Company.
