(2) | Includes pro-rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures. |
(3) | Represents earnings attributed to convertible units held by Liberty International Holdings Limited (LIH). Although these convertible units are excluded from our calculation of earnings per diluted share, FFO available to diluted common shareholders includes earnings allocated to LIH, as the inclusion of these units is dilutive to FFO per diluted share. |

Sincerely, |
