Ray,
(with apologies for the wrap around effects, can't do any better than this)
From EDGAR, it appears that they had a preferred stock redemption in 95-96. Perhaps this is what explains the (bulk of) the increase in common. I looked at the options grants & expiraiotns those years, and although there were some, they were not much compared to the preferred redemptions.
