Shares of common stock issued to a related trust are not considered to be outstanding in the computation of average shares of common stock until the shares are utilized to fund the obligations for which the trust was established. At June 30, 1995, the SECT had utilized 6,150,243 of these shares. (b) Prior to conversion in December 1994, Series A preferred stock was converted into common stock under the Contingent Share method. The above computation includes 8,935,175 shares of Series A preferred stock which were converted into 17,342,763 shares of common stock. In December 1994, all of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock were converted into Tenneco Inc. common stock. The inclusion of Series A preferred stock in the computation of earnings per share was antidilutive for the first half of 1994. (c) These calculations are submitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements although not required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 because they result in dilution of less than 3%.
