(2) The computation of fully diluted earnings per share assumes that the average number of common shares outstanding during the year is increased by the conversion of securities having a dilutive effect, and that net income applicable to common stock is increased by dividends and after-tax interest on such securities. (3) Earnings per share was calculated for each three month and twelve month period on a stand-alone basis. On June 22, 1995, the company purchased all 7,894,737 shares of common stock that were issued on that date upon conversion of the $92.50 Preference Stock. On June 27, 1995, the company called all $149,893,000 of its 6 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due April 15, 2011 for redemption on August 8, 1995. Virtually all of the Debentures were converted into an aggregate of 4,309,070 shares of common stock during the third quarter. The company purchased an additional 3,186,000 shares of common stock at various times during 1995. As a result of all of these transactions, the sum of the earnings per share for the four quarters of 1995 does not equal the earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995.
