On AOL's 10K they stated there were 100.7 million shares outstanding.
From newest release:Earnings (loss) per share $ 0.16

Weighted average shares
outstanding 118,880

At the risk of answering a question answered already, when computing EPS, the accountants insist that you take all options, warrants, preferred stock, etc... which might Dilute future earnings (if exercised), and present the EPS number based on a worse case scenario. AOL has a huge number of Director / Officer stock options going down below $10/share, and I believe Sprint is still holding a large chunk of warrants which they can exercise for something like $13/share.

That's my guess.
