Paragraphs:
20. Computation of Basic/Diluted Earnings Per Common Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (amounts in millions, except per share data):
The vesting of certain of our employee-related restricted stock units and options is contingent upon the satisfaction of predefined performance measures. The shares underlying these equity awards are included in the weighted-average dilutive common shares only if the performance measures are met as of the end of the reporting period. Additionally, potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per common share calculation when the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.
