(a) 
Interest expense includes amortization of debt premium, discount and other debt costs. Interest expense does not include interest related to tax matters (primarily uncertain tax positions) of $196 million for the first nine months of 2017; $242 million for 2016; $246 million for 2015; $182 million for 2014; $222 million for 2013; and $265 million for 2012.
(b) 
Preferred stock dividends related to our Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock held by an employee stock ownership plan trust.
(c) 
Rents included in the computation consist of one-third of rental expense, which we believe to be a conservative estimate of an interest factor in our leases, which are not material.
Amounts may not add due to rounding. Percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.
