The dilutive impact of 2025 Convertible Notes that were issued in December 2017 is calculated based on the treasury-stock method with the number of dilutive shares being calculated based on the difference in the average share price and the conversion price. There was no dilution during 2017 related to the common share equivalents for the 2025 Convertible Notes as our common shares average price did not rise in value above the conversion price.
