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 30, 2017	April 24, 2016	April 30, 2017	April 24, 2016

Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	528,712	529,898	528,649	529,380
Dilutive potential common shares	10,923	13,871	11,201	13,873

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	539,635	543,769	539,850	543,253

For the second quarter and six months ended April 30, 2017, 4.5 million and 3.9 million, respectively, 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 none and 0.5 million, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended April 24, 2016.
