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		Nine Months Ended
(in thousands)	July 24, 2016	July 26, 2015	July 24, 2016	July 26, 2015
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	529,660	528,516	529,473	527,975
Dilutive potential common shares	12,503	12,688	13,417	12,763

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	542,163	541,204	542,890	540,738

For the third quarter and nine months ended July 24, 2016, 1.8 million and 0.9 million weighted-average stock options, respectively, 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 twenty-four thousand and 1.2 million for the third quarter and nine months ended July 26, 2015.
