[1] Includes vested and deferred RSUs of 291, 304 and 307 as well as shares that are deliverable to certain directors who have elected to defer a portion of their director fees to be paid in the form of common stock of the Company (“Director Deferred Shares”) of 32, 32 and 31 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

[2] Excludes 49, 70, and 12 anti-dilutive shares for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and 2013, respectively. (e) Since a net loss from continuing operations exists for the year ended December 31, 2014, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the diluted per-share calculation.
