______________________

(a)Unvested Equity Awards and Liability Awards represent participating securities because they participate in non-forfeitable dividends with the common equity owners of the Company. Participating share-based earnings represent the distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company attributable to the participating securities. Unvested Equity Awards and Liability Awards do not participate in undistributed net losses as they are not contractually obligated to do so. The dilutive effect of the reallocation of participating share-based earnings to diluted net income attributable to common shareholders was negligible.

(b)Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect had the Company's Convertible Notes been converted as of the beginning of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. If converted by the holder, the Company may settle in cash, Company's common shares or a combination thereof, at the Company's election. See Note 6 for additional information.
