Griffon has the intent and ability to settle the principal amount of the 2017 Notes in cash, and therefore the potential issuance of shares related to the principal amount of the 2017 Notes does not affect diluted shares. Shares of the ESOP that have been allocated to employee accounts are treated as outstanding in determining earnings per share.
