Redeemable common limited partnership units totaling 982,871 at March 31, 2019 and 1,479,799 at March 31, 2018, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computations because they are not dilutive. Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends as noted in the table above were allocated to the unvested restricted shares issued to the Company’s executives and other employees under the Company's shareholder-approved long-term incentive plan.
