Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Common Share
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon issuance of common shares for awards under stock-based compensation plans, exercise of warrants or conversion of preferred stock, but only to the extent that they are considered dilutive.
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

For the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, awards under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for common shares of 7.0 million and 12.6 million, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For both periods, preferred stock convertible into 4.5 million common shares were excluded as the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
