year, including vested but unissued share and share units. The computation of diluted earnings per share further reflects the dilutive effect of
stock options and stock-settled SARs.
The following are the share amounts used to compute the basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31:

NOTE 12 STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS
Occidental has established several Plans that provide for stock-based awards in the form of Options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock bonuses,
SARs, PSAs, PRSUs and dividend equivalents. These awards were granted under the 1995 Incentive Stock Plan (1995 ISP), 2001 Incentive
Compensation Plan (2001 ICP) and the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2005 LTIP). No further awards will be granted under the 1995 ISP and
2001 ICP; however, certain 1995 ISP and 2001 ICP award grants were outstanding at December 31, 2006. An aggregate of 34 million shares of
Occidental common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2005 LTIP and at December 31, 2006, approximately 14.5 million shares of
Occidental common stock were available for future awards. Occidental also has a 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (1996
DRSP), under which non-employee directors received awards of restricted stock as additional compensation for their services as members of the
Board of Directors. No further awards will be granted under the 1996 DRSP. All non-employee director awards are now granted under the 2005
LTIP. During 2006, non-employee directors were granted awards for 59,800 shares of restricted stock that fully vested on the grant date. No awards
that have been granted to directors may be sold or transferred during the director’s period of service as a member of the Board. Compensation
expense for these awards was measured using the quoted market price of Occidental's common stock on the grant date and was recognized at
grant date.
