NOTE 6 – PER SHARE DATA

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of basic EPS. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic EPS computation plus the shares resulting from the assumed exercise of all outstanding share-based awards using the treasury stock method. Weighted-average antidilutive stock options to purchase approximately 670,000 shares of Company common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $24.89 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were excluded from diluted shares. Antidilutive other equity awards of approximately 79,000 shares of Company common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were excluded from diluted shares. Weighted-average antidilutive stock options to purchase approximately 801,000 shares of Company common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $23.84 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were excluded from diluted shares. Antidilutive other equity awards of approximately 48,000 shares of Company common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were also excluded from diluted shares. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods shown:
