Common Shares Repurchased

Our Board of Trustees has authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our outstanding common shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased and retired 1.6 million common shares for $25.4 million, a weighted average purchase price per share of $15.47. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased and retired 12.2 million common shares for $187.5 million, a weighted average purchase price per share of $15.43. Since we began the share repurchase program through March 31, 2026, we have repurchased and retired 85.3 million common shares for $1.6 billion, a weighted average purchase price per share of $18.73.

During the second quarter of 2026, through May 1, 2026, we repurchased and retired 182,184 common shares for $2.6 million, a weighted average purchase price per share of $14.36, pursuant to a repurchase plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested share-based compensation awards that entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities. Consequently, we are required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings (loss) that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. During periods of net loss, losses are allocated only to the extent the participating securities are required to absorb their share of such losses. Distributions to participating securities in excess of their allocated income or loss are shown as a reduction to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution of the assumed exchange of various unit and share-based compensation awards into common shares to the extent they are dilutive.

Class B common shares ("Class B Shares"), held by certain LTIP Unit and OP Unit holders, are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to our shareholders, with common shares and Class B Shares voting as a single class. Class B Shares are automatically cancelled and redeemed upon the redemption of each corresponding OP Unit. Class B Shares are not listed on any national securities exchange, and do not have any economic rights or rights to any dividends, distributions or proceeds upon our liquidation. Similarly, the Class B Shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per common share as they do not participate in profits or losses.

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share and reconciles net loss to the amounts of net loss attributable to common shareholders used in calculating basic and diluted loss per common share:

The effect of the redemption of OP Units, Time-Based LTIP Units, fully vested LTIP Units and special equity awards that were outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 is excluded in the computation of diluted loss per common share as the assumed redemption of such units for common shares on a one-for-one basis was antidilutive (the assumed redemption of these units would have no impact on the determination of diluted loss per share). OP Units, Time-Based LTIP Units, fully vested LTIP Units and special equity awards, which are held by noncontrolling interests, are attributed income at an identical proportion to the common shareholders. AO LTIP Units, Performance-Based LTIP Units, formation awards and RSUs, which totaled 8.6 million and 7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share as they were antidilutive, but could be dilutive in the future.
