Shareholders' Equity and Per Share Data
Note 14.
Shareholders' Equity and Per Share Data
Our articles of incorporation authorize 6,620,000,000 shares of capital stock as follows:
6,000,000,000 shares of Series 1 voting common stock, par value $2.00 per share;
500,000,000 shares of Series 2 voting common stock, par value $2.00 per share;
100,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share; and
20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share.
Classes of Common Stock
Series 1 Common Stock
The holders of our Series 1 common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted for action by the shareholders. There were about 3.0 billion shares of Series 1 common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
Series 2 Common Stock
The holders of our Series 2 common stock are entitled to 10% of one vote per share, but otherwise have rights that are substantially identical to those of the Series 1 common stock. In 2009, certain holders of our Series 2 common stock exercised their rights to convert 39.8 million Series 2 shares to 39.8 million Series 1 shares, resulting in an $80 million and $785 million reduction to common shares and paid-in capital, respectively, and a corresponding $865 million reduction in treasury shares. In 2011, the remaining 35 million Series 2 shares were converted to 35 million Series 1 shares, resulting in a $38 million and $168 million reduction in common shares and paid-in capital, respectively, and a corresponding $206 million reduction in treasury shares. As a result, there were no shares of Series 2 common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
Treasury Shares
Shares of common stock repurchased by us are recorded at cost as treasury shares and result in a reduction of shareholders' equity. We reissue treasury shares as part of our shareholder approved stock-based compensation programs, as well as upon conversion of outstanding securities that are convertible into common stock. When shares are reissued, we determine the cost using the FIFO method.
Dividends
We did not declare any dividends on our common shares in 2011, 2010, or 2009. We are currently restricted from paying cash dividends by the terms of our revolving bank credit facility as described in note 7.

Per Share Data
Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share adjusts basic earnings (loss) per common share, computed using the treasury stock method, for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares, if the effect is not antidilutive. Potentially dilutive common shares issuable under our equity-based compensation plans where the average market price exceeded the exercise price were 27 million, 30 million, and 28 million shares as of December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. All such potentially dilutive shares were antidilutive for 2011, 2010 and 2009 and, therefore, have no effect on our determination of dilutive weighted average number of shares outstanding.
