Effect of dilutive securities: September 2018 forward equity offering   8,456    2,819

The Company entered into a forward sale agreement in March 2018 to sell an aggregate of 3,450,000 shares of common stock (the “March 2018 Forward”) and entered into a subsequent forward sale agreement in September 2018 to sell an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of common stock (the “September 2018 Forward”, and together with the March 2018 Forward, the “Forward Equity Offerings”). Concurrently with the September 2018 Forward, the Company settled the entirety of the March 2018 Forward and received net proceeds of approximately $160.2 million.

 

To account for the potential dilution resulting from the Forward Equity Offerings on earnings per share calculations, the Company used the treasury method to determine the dilution resulting from the Forward Equity Offerings during the period of time prior to settlement. The impact from the March 2018 Forward on the Company’s weighted-average diluted shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 439,761 and 265,048 weighted-average incremental shares, respectively. The impact from the September 2018 Forward on the Company’s weighted-average diluted shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 8,456 and 2,819 weighted-average incremental shares, respectively. To date, no shares from the September 2018 Forward have been settled.
