NOTE 2. (Loss)/Earnings Per Common Share

        The Company calculates its basic and diluted (loss)/earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share." Basic (loss)/earnings per share is computed based upon weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive (loss)/earnings per share is computed consistently with the basic computation while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares and common share equivalents that were outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilutive effect of unvested stock awards, warrants, and unexercised options. The weighted-average shares outstanding were calculated as follows at December 31:

(In thousands of shares)
  2011   2010   2009  

Weighted average shares for basic (loss)/earnings per share

    123,439     121,301     96,834  

Effect of dilutive common share equivalents

Weighted average shares and dilutive common share equivalents for dilutive (loss)/earnings per share

        The Company was in a net loss position for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and therefore excluded approximately 10.1 million and 8.3 million, respectively, of shares underlying stock options and warrants, 6.1 million and 11.4 million, respectively, shares of restricted stock, and 6.1 million and 6.2 million, respectively, shares underlying restricted stock units ("RSUs") from its computation of dilutive loss per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company excluded 1.3 million shares underlying stock options and warrants, 3.5 million shares of restricted stock and 1.1 million shares underlying RSUs from its computation of dilutive earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.
