Performance Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) issued in March 2019 and March 2018 were dilutive and the PRSUs issued in March 2017 were anti-dilutive in the computation of EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.  PRSUs issued in March 2018 and March 2017 were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, as the calculation was anti-dilutive.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment of $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in connection with the PRSUs issued in March 2017 and March 2018.
