(2)	EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	2015		2014		2013
Net income available to common stockholders – basic and diluted	$	192,789	$	162,587	$	142,985


Weighted average number of common shares		53,828,609		54,918,471		55,345,554

Earnings per common share – basic	$	3.58	$	2.96	$	2.58

Diluted weighted average number of common shares		55,532,955		56,931,226		57,720,998

Earnings per common share – diluted	$	3.47	$	2.86	$	2.48

The denominator in calculating the common stock diluted EPS does not include 188,080 stock options in 2015, 222,060 stock options in 2014 and 152,340 stock options in 2013, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
