Stock options of zero and 185,181 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 106,029 and 185,470 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit because the assumed proceeds per unit of these options plus the average unearned compensation were greater than the average market price of the common unit for the periods ended and, therefore, were anti-dilutive. Additionally, the tables exclude all DownREIT limited partnership units for which the Operating Partnership has the ability and intention to redeem the units for cash and does not consider them to be common stock equivalents.
