Shares Used in Computing Net Income Per Share

The computation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2016	2015
Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the calculation of net income per share – basic	223.5	238.8
Common stock equivalents	3.8	4.2
Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the calculation of net income per share – diluted	227.3	243.0

For the each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, stock options for 0.6 million shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average outstanding shares because their impact was anti-dilutive.
