Equity awards to purchase approximately 2.9 million and 3.4 million shares of common stock during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 and approximately 7.5 million and 7.2 million shares of common stock during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of weighted average diluted common share amounts as the effect of doing so would be anti-dilutive.
