Note 11 — Capital Stock

Pursuant to our shareholder rights plan, each share of common stock outstanding is coupled with one-quarter of a preferred stock purchase right (Right). Each Right entitles our shareholders to purchase, under certain conditions, one one-hundredth of a share of newly issued Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $100. Rights will be exercisable only if someone acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of our common shares or commences a tender or exchange offer, upon consummation of which they would beneficially own 20 percent or more of our common shares. We will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $0.001 per Right at any time until the 10th business day following public announcement that a 20 percent position has been acquired. The Rights will expire on December 11, 2017.

Please read Note 19 — Share-Based Compensation for information about additional shares of common stock that could be issued under terms of our share-based compensation plans.

The options, all of which are exercisable, have a weighted average exercise price of $21.61 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of three years. At year-end 2011, the options have an aggregate intrinsic value of $922,000.
