14.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table calculates the Company’s earnings per share (“EPS”) and provides a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations and the number of common shares used in the computations of “basic” EPS, which utilizes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and “diluted” EPS, which includes all such shares (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The following potentially dilutive securities are considered in the calculation of EPS as described below:

Potentially Dilutive Securities:

—

The Company’s senior convertible notes due 2040, which are convertible into common shares of the Company with a conversion price of $14.96 at September 30, 2014, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for all periods presented because the Company’s common share price did not exceed 125% of the conversion price in these periods and would therefore be anti-dilutive.

—	Shares subject to issuance under the Company’s 2013 Value Sharing Equity Program were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, because the calculation was anti-dilutive.

—

At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 1,441,890 and 398,701 OP Units, respectively, outstanding. The exchange into common shares associated with the OP Units was not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding for all periods presented because the effect of assuming conversion was anti-dilutive.
