There were no options to purchase common shares that were excluded from the diluted calculations above for the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition to in-the-money stock options, unvested restricted stock grants were also used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the treasury method. Options to purchase 57,953 common shares at a weighted average price of $35.41 were excluded from the diluted calculations above for the three months ended March 31, 2016, because the exercise prices on the options were greater than the average market price for the period.
