<< Where does the difference come from? (Difference between float and shares outstanding) >> The rest are owned by the company. << I guess options granted to employees could be one source, and convertible bonds could be another. But still, the difference between 109M and 152M is 42 million, or 39%. That's huge difference. >> I'm not positive on this, but I believe options would be under that category. Convertible bonds are under a different category all together, and they will effect shares outstanding when reporting earnings. (fully diluted eps) << On another subject, I think there was some talk here that there are bonds outstanding with conversion at around $38. I guess they all must have been converted. The good news is that the long term debt may be reported to be lower, but the shares must have been diluted. >> Again, I think, but may be mistaken that we had to report earnings in a fully diluted fashion. (so the possible bond convertees effected eps) I think most of the bonds have been converted now though, so I don't think that will be a factor going forward.
