(1) Interest on borrowings includes amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs.
(2) Because interest expense incurred in connection with brokerage activities is completely offset by brokerage interest revenue, the Company considers such interest to be a reduction of net revenues. Accordingly, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, excluding brokerage interest expense, reflects the elimination of such interest expense from fixed charges.
(3) The ratios of earnings to fixed charges for the periods presented have been adjusted on a pro forma basis to give effect to the offer and sale of the $500 million aggregate principal amount of the notes offered hereby and the use of the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to repay the $500 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.150% Senior Notes that mature on December 1, 2014, as if such events occurred at the beginning of each pro forma period presented.
