As discussed Note 3, all outstanding shares of the Company's convertible perpetual preferred stock were converted for common stock or cash in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2017, and therefore none were outstanding for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2017. The Company had the following potentially dilutive securities (stock appreciation rights) outstanding for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price exceeded the market price of the Company's common stock, and thus their effect would have been antidilutive:
|  | Nine Months Ended December 31,
|  | 2016
Potentially dilutive securities |  | 122,200 |
Weighted-average exercise price |  | $ | 62.66 |
At December 31, 2017, all previously-granted stock appreciation rights had been exercised or had expired, and none were outstanding.
