Calculation of Impact on Average Diluted Shares Outstanding


Prior to Settlement of Forward Purchase Contracts
` Step 1: Assume Equity Units convert to common shares at forward purchase contract terms based on
the average common share price during the last 20 trading days of the quarter.
` Step 2: Under the Treasury Stock Method of calculating earnings per share, it is assumed there is a
repurchase of $7.5 billion of common shares at the average common share price during the quarter.
` The impact on the average diluted shares outstanding prior to settlements of forward purchase
contracts is the net share increase resulting from the assumed conversion and assumed repurchase.
` In the event that the shares assumed to be repurchased (Step 2) exceed the number of shares under
the assumed conversion (Step 1), there is no adjustment to average diluted shares outstanding.

(1) Present value at an average rate of 6.6%.


(2) Does not reflect impact of certain fees related to the transaction.
(3) Interest expense reflects accretion of the present value of the contract payments to actual future payments.
