The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is classified as a participating security in accordance with ASC 260. Net income allocated to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock is based on the Series A stockholders’ proportionate share of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis.

For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, basic earnings per common share was adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares outstanding. These potential dilutive shares include unvested restricted stock and performance-based stock units. The more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury method is used for this adjustment. Additionally, Series A Preferred Stock is included using the if-converted method.

Under the two-class method, net income is reallocated to common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, and all dilutive securities based on the contractual participating rights of the respective securities to share in the current earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.
