The 2013 Exchange (See Note 17) by holders of convertible preferred stock for common stock and a cash premium was accounted for as an induced conversion.  Common stock was increased by the carrying (liquidation) value of the amount of convertible preferred stock exchanged.  The fair value of common stock and the cash premium issued in excess of the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms was treated as a reduction to net income available to common shareholders for earnings per share purposes.

Stock options for 260,261, 355,328 and 472,719 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because they were antidilutive. Unvested restricted awards of 206,167 were not considered in computing earnings per share for 2013 as they were antidilutive due to the net loss available to common shares created by the preferred stock exchange.  Potential common shares associated with convertible preferred stock (for periods prior to December 30, 2013, the completion date of the Exchange) and stock warrants were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share in each period because they were antidilutive.
