(a)
Earnings did not cover fixed charges and preferred share dividends by $1,257.
On July 17, 2012, we issued 5,000,000 of our 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and accordingly preferred share dividends from that date through December 31, 2014 are included in the calculation of ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had no outstanding preferred shares, and therefore, there were no preferred share dividends included in the calculations of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends for these periods.
