For the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, stock options and stock-settled SARs for approximately 0.5 million and 2.1 million shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' and stock-settled SARs' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common shares and, therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

As a result of the Company's stock repurchase programs, there were fewer shares outstanding for the three months ended December 28, 2013 as compared to the three months ended December 29, 2012. Refer to Note 12, "Shareholders' Equity" for further information on the Company's stock repurchase programs.
