Basic earnings from continuing

Diluted earnings from continuing
operations ............... $1,115 223 $5.01 $423 225 $1.88 $369 215 $1.72
Approximately 2 million Shares and 4 million Shares were excluded from the computation of diluted Shares in
2006 and 2005, respectively, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.
On March 15, 2006, the Company completed the redemption of the remaining 25,000 shares of Class B EPS
for approximately $1 million. In April 2006 the Company completed the redemption of the remaining
562,000 shares of Class A EPS for approximately $33 million. For the period prior to the redemption dates,
157,000 shares of Class A Exchangeable Preferred Shares (“Class A EPS”) and Class B Exchangeable Preferred
Shares (“Class B EPS”) are included in the computation of basic Shares for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Approximately 1 million shares of Class A EPS and Class B EPS are included in the computation of the basic Share
numbers for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Prior to June 5, 2006, the Company had contingently convertible debt, the terms of which allowed for the
Company to redeem such instruments in cash or Shares. The Company, in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
“Earnings per Share,” utilized the if-converted method to calculate dilution once certain trigger events were met.
One of the trigger events for the Company’s contingently convertible debt was met during the first quarter of 2006
when the closing sale price per Share was $60 or more for a specified length of time. On May 5, 2006, the Company
gave notice of its intention to redeem the convertible debt on June 5, 2006. Under the terms of the convertible
indenture, prior to this redemption date, the note holders had the right to convert their notes into Shares at the stated
conversion rate. Under the terms of the indenture, the Company settled conversions by paying the principal portion
of the notes in cash and the excess amount of the conversion spread in Corporation Shares. For the period prior to the
conversion dates, approximately 1 million Shares were included in the computation of diluted Shares for the year
ended December 31, 2006.
At December 31, 2005, approximately 400,000 Shares issuable under the above described convertible debt
were included in the calculation of diluted Shares as the trigger events for conversion had occurred.
In connection with the Host Transaction, Starwood’s shareholders received 0.6122 Host shares and $0.503 in
cash for each of their Class B Shares. Holders of Starwood employee stock options did not receive this consideration
while the market price of our publicly traded shares was reduced to reflect the payment of this consideration directly
to the holders of the Class B Shares. In order to preserve the value of the Company’s options immediately before and
after the Host Transaction, in accordance with the stock option agreements, the Company adjusted its stock options
to reduce the strike price and increase the number of stock options using the intrinsic value method based on the
Company’s stock price immediately before and after the transaction. As a result of this adjustment, the diluted stock
options increased by approximately 1 million Corporation Shares effective as of the closing of the Host Transaction.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment, a revision of the FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” discussed below, this adjustment did not result in any incremental fair
value, and as such, no additional compensation cost was recognized. Furthermore, in order to preserve the value of
