Consolidated VIEs
The Company adopted ASU2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This standard amends certain guidance applicable to the consolidation ofvarious legal entities, including variable interest entities (“VIE”). Among the changes, the new standard specifically eliminates the presumption in the currentvoting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity unless that presumption can be overcome. Generally, only a single limitedpartner that is able to exercise substantive kick-out rights will consolidate.

Our method of calculating FFOattributable to commonshareholders may differ frommethods used by other REITs and, as such, may not becomparable.
FFO ADJUSTED FOR SECURITIES INVESTMENTS (FFO)
Due to the legacy investments that we hold, we have also historically presented a measure of FFO, to which we refer herein as FFO Adjusted for SecuritiesInvestments which is derived by further adjusting NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense (benefit) frominvestmentsecurities,netdistributionsanddividendincome,andnetrealizedandunrealizedgainorlossonotherequitysecurities.

This may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and,accordingly may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The Company completed the sale of EIP on April 1, 2015.
