A reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per
share is as follows (in thousands):
For the Year Ended December 31,
2010 2009 2008
Weighted average number of basic common
shares outstanding
47,955
42,406
39,299
Weighted average dilutive stock options,
restricted stock, restricted stock units and
performance share units 1,628
1,336
1,689
Assumed conversion of Convertible Senior
Notes 1,405
5,780
7,683
Weighted average number of diluted common
and common equivalent shares outstanding 50,988
49,522
48,671
Anti-dilutive potential common shares 2,487 2,843 5,905
Anti-dilutive potential common shares for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 include
approximately 1.9 million shares, 1.5 million shares and 4.0 million shares, respectively, that could be issued under
the Company’s convertible debt if the Company experiences substantial increases in its common stock price. Under
the treasury stock method, the convertible notes will generally have a dilutive impact on net income per share if the
Company’s average stock price for the period exceeds the conversion price for the convertible notes.
The Company has Conversion Spread Hedges outstanding at December 31, 2010 that increase the
effective conversion price of the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes due September 30, 2013 from $40.38 to
$50.47 per share from the Company’s perspective and which were designed to reduce potential dilution upon
conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes at maturity. Since the beneficial impact of the Conversion Spread
Hedges is anti-dilutive, it is excluded from the calculation of net income per share.
