Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of equity based awards and convertible debt using the treasury stock method.

Equity based awards exercisable for approximately 4.0 million, 2.0 million, and 4.6 million shares were outstanding but not included in the computation of earnings per share for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012, September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
