	(In thousands)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	117,139	133,417
Weighted-average potential shares of common stock outstanding:
Conversion spread related to the Subordinated Convertible Debentures	15,812	14,286
Unvested RSUs	869	817

The calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, excludes potentially dilutive securities, the effect of which would have been anti-dilutive, as well as performance based RSUs granted by the Company for which the relevant performance criteria have not been achieved. The number of potential shares excluded from the calculation was not significant in any period presented.
