The Corporation previously issued a warrant to purchase 700 million shares of the Corporation's common stock to the holder of the Corporation's 6% Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock Series T (the Series T Preferred Stock). The warrant may be exercised, at the option of the holder, through tendering the Series T Preferred Stock or paying cash. Due to changes in the fair value of the Series T Preferred Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013, it became more advantageous for the holder to tender cash to exercise the warrant. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the impact of the 700 million common shares underlying the warrant was included in the diluted share count under the treasury stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the common shares associated with the warrant were not included in the diluted share count because the result would have been antidilutive under the "if-converted" method.

For both the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 62 million average dilutive potential common shares associated with the Series L Preferred Stock were not included in the diluted share count because the result would have been antidilutive under the "if-converted" method. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, average options to purchase 135 million and 176 million shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of EPS because the result would have been antidilutive under the treasury stock method. For both the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, average warrants to purchase 272 million shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of EPS because the result would have been antidilutive under the treasury stock method.
