In an attempt to help with the definition of "dilution", I went to a book that I have. The name of the book is: Wall Street Words. Here's the definition:

Dilution..."A decrease in the equity position of a share of stock because of the issuance of additional shares. Dilution is normally detrimental to the position of existing sharehholders because it weakens their proportional claim on earnings and assets."

Potential Dilution..."The decrease in the proportional equity position of a share of stock that will occur eventually if additional authorized shares are actually issued. This term generally refers to outstanding options and convertible securities likely to be exchanged for shares of common stock at a future time."

I hope the above helps in resolving the meaning of dilution.
