Options to purchase approximately 0.03 million shares and 0.1 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, because the exercise prices were greater than the average market prices during the periods and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.
Options to purchase 0.1 million shares and 0.9 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, because the options contained exercise prices that exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.
The convertible junior subordinated debentures due in 2029 are convertible into 4.6 million shares of common stock and is not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive.
