(1) | In calculating the pro forma ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, we have assumed that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock offered by this prospectus were issued on January 1, 2011. For purposes of this pro forma calculation, we have assumed the repayment of borrowings drawn on our revolving credit facility with the proceeds from this offering; therefore, the pro forma ratio excludes the effect of the related interest expense for the period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. |
