*We generated net losses in the second quarter and first half of 2016. Our weighted-average shares outstanding for earnings per share calculations exclude common stock equivalents of 17.7 million for the second quarter of 2016 and 18.6 million for the first half of2016 due to our net loss positions.

Weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excludes the impact of three million stock options for the second quarter of 2015 and three million for the first half of2015, due to the exercise prices of these stock options being greater than the average fair market value of our common stock during the period. This impact was immaterial for the second quarter and first half of2016.

We issued approximately four million shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2016, two million shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2015, 12 million shares of our common stock in the first half of2016 and15 million shares of our common stock in the first half of2015, following the exercise of underlying stock options or vesting of deferred stock units, or purchases under our employee stock purchase plan. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the first half of2016 or 2015.
