(PPL)

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to PPL common shareowners by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing income available to PPL common shareowners by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding that are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive non-participating securities were converted to common shares. In 2011 and 2010, these securities included stock options, performance units granted under incentive compensation plans and the 2010 Purchase Contract component of the 2010 Equity Units. Additionally, in 2011, these securities included the 2011 Purchase Contract component of the 2011 Equity Units. The 2011 Purchase Contracts will be dilutive only if the average VWAP of PPL's common stock for a certain period exceeds approximately $30.99. The 2010 Purchase Contracts will be dilutive only if the average VWAP of PPL's common stock for a certain period exceeds $28.80. Because the average VWAP has not exceeded either applicable value since issuance, the 2011 and 2010 Purchase Contracts were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations. Subject to antidilution adjustments at June 30, 2011, the maximum number of shares issuable to settle the Purchase Contracts was 105,202,345 shares, including 86,552,565 shares that could be issued under standard provisions of the Purchase Contracts and 18,649,780 shares that could be issued under make-whole provisions in the event of early settlement upon a Fundamental Change. See Note 7 for additional information on the 2011 Equity Units.
