[1] (A) For the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, we did not have any common shares outstanding. As such, we have used 339,064,025 as our number of basic weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating our basic earnings per common share, which represents the number of our shares outstanding immediately following the

[2] (B) At September 30, 2011, we were obligated to issue, for no additional consideration, 0.4 million common shares under deferred compensation plans and other agreements. These shares were included in our calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011.

[3] (C) As of September 30, 2011, options to purchase 9 million common shares were outstanding. Of this amount, options to purchase 1.2 million common shares for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the effect of including these options in the computation would have been antidilutive. The dilutive impact of the remaining options outstanding in each period was included in the effect of dilutive securities. For periods prior to the Merger, we did not reflect the effect of dilutive shares because there were not any potentially dilutive securities of CCE outstanding (as we did not have any outstanding equity awards prior to the Merger, and estimating dilution using the treasury stock method is not practical or meaningful). Subsequent to the Merger, share-based payment awards that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of a specified performance condition are included in our diluted earnings per share calculation in the period in which the condition is satisfied.
