Options to purchase approximately 2,505,000 and 5,072,000 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
