Roper's 3.75% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2034 became convertible on January 15, 2009.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, 6,963 notes were converted by note holders for $14.7 million in cash.  No gain or loss was recorded upon these conversions.  In addition, a related $0.7 million deferred tax liability associated with excess deductions recorded for tax purposes was relieved to additional paid-in capital upon the conversions.
 
At March 31, 2015, the conversion price on the remaining outstanding notes was $497.14 per note.  If converted at March 31, 2015, the value would have exceeded the $5 million principal amount of the outstanding notes by $16 million and could have resulted in the issuance of 90,835 shares of Roper's common stock.
