Earnings per share are determined according to IAS 33 (Earnings Per Share) by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares.
The number of ordinary shares in issue is 826,947,808.
Prior to June 1, 2009, the conversion date of the mandatory convertible bond issued in April 2006, the potential shares to be issued upon conversion of this bond were also taken into account. Basic and diluted earnings per share were therefore identical. The financing expenses for the mandatory convertible bond were added back to net income.
