  Cash payment alternatives are accounted for as cash-settled plans. As these awards can be exchanged for common shares of the company, they are considered potentially dilutive and are included in the calculation of the company's diluted net earnings (loss) per share if they have a dilutive impact in the period. Accounting for these awards as equity-settled was determined to have a dilutive impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 (anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016).

An increase in interest rates of 0.02% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulted in an increase in value of $5 million associated with the remaining swaps.
