Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share for the three and six months endedJune 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was computed by dividing net income amounts attributable to The Wendy’s Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

The weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share were as follows:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2014	June 30, 2013	June 29, 2014	June 30, 2013
Common stock:
Weighted average basic shares outstanding	366,712	393,174	374,132	392,836
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted shares	5,460	4,710	6,630	3,953
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding	372,172	397,884	380,762	396,789

Diluted net income per share for the three and six months endedJune 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was computed by dividing net income attributable to The Wendy’s Company by the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding plus the potential common share effect of dilutive stock options and restricted shares, computed using the treasury stock method. We excluded 4,758 and 5,306 for the three and six months endedJune 29, 2014, respectively, and 13,145 and 15,488 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively, of potential common shares from our diluted net income per share calculation as they would have had anti-dilutive effects.
