| | | | |
(1) | In calculating this pro forma ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, we have assumed that the shares of Series C Preferred Stock offered in this prospectus supplement were issued on January 1, 2014. For purposes of this pro forma calculation, we have assumed the repayment of outstanding borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility with the net proceeds from this offering (or a portion of such borrowings, to the extent such borrowings exceeded the net proceeds from this offering). Therefore, the pro forma ratio reflects the effects of additional preferred stock dividends and lower interest expense resulting from the assumed repayment of borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility. The pro forma ratio does not reflect the Combination. As of April 6, 2015, we had approximately $540.4 million in outstanding borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility. |
