The Company had stock options outstanding for approximately 10.1 million, 15.6 million and 7.1 million shares, respectively, for the years ended February 2, 2019, February 3, 2018, and January 28, 2017, which were excluded from the computations of net earnings per diluted common share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net earnings per diluted share.
