For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, average options to purchase 176 million and 230 million shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of EPS because they were antidilutive under the treasury stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, average warrants to purchase 272 million and 122 million shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of EPS because they were antidilutive under the treasury stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 62 million and 67 million average dilutive potential common shares associated with the 7.25% Non-cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, Series L and 700 million average dilutive potential common shares associated with the Series T Preferred Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were excluded from the diluted share count because the result would have been antidilutive under the “if-converted” method.
