(2) Tangible book value per share equals common stockholders' equity at period-end excluding goodwill and core deposits and other intangibles, net of any associated deferred tax liabilities divided by common shares outstanding. (3) On May 16th, 2008, Sovereign issued 179.7 million shares of common stock which raised net proceeds of $1.39 billion to enhance its capital and liquidity positions. As a result, this increased our weighted average shares outstanding during the second quarter by 90.8 million. Therefore, our weighted average share count in the third quarter will increase due to the full quarter impact of this transaction by approximately 88.9 million shares. (4) The conversion of warrants and equity awards and the after-tax add back of Sovereign's contingently convertible trust preferred interest expense was excluded from Sovereign's GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation for the majority of the periods above since the result would have been anti-dilutive. (5) Efficiency ratio equals general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue, defined as the sum of net interest income and total fees and other income before security gains.
