NOTE MEARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

The reported net earnings attributable to the Company were used when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The following table sets forth the shares used as the denominator for those computations:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 24, 2016	April 26, 2015	April 24, 2016	April 26, 2015
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	529,898	528,056	529,380	527,704
Dilutive potential common shares	13,871	12,832	13,873	12,801

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	543,769	540,888	543,253	540,505

For the six months ended April 24, 2016, 0.5 million weighted-average stock options were not included in the computation of dilutive potential common shares since their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, compared to 2.3 million and 1.9 million for the second quarter and six months ended April 26, 2015.
