(1) Preferred stock dividends and other for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included $15 million of issuance costs associated with the redemption of Series B preferred shares in the third quarter of 2024. See Note 6 for additional information.

The effects from the assumed exercise of 4 million and 5 million in restricted stock units and awards and performance stock units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, were not included in the above computations

of diluted earnings per common share because such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.

The effects from the assumed exercise of 7 million and 6 million in restricted stock units and awards and performance stock units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were not included in the above computations of diluted earnings per common share because such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.
