Earnings from continuing operations exclude earnings of $0.1, $0.1 and $0.1 for the years ended May 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for earnings attributable to participating RSUs.

In a period in which the Company reports a discontinued operation, Earnings (loss) from continuing operations is used as the “control number” in determining whether potentially dilutive common shares are dilutive or anti-dilutive. There were 0.3 million potentially anti-dilutive shares outstanding pursuant to compensation plans as of May 31, 2016.

A portion of the Company’s RSUs granted to employees participates in earnings through cumulative non-forfeitable dividends payable to the employees upon vesting of the RSUs. Accordingly, the Company measures earnings per share based upon the lower of the Two-class method or the Treasury Stock method.

Options outstanding pursuant to compensation plans were 3.0 million and 4.1 million as of May 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of May 31, 2016, $45.5 remains available for future purchases of common shares under the current repurchase authorization of the Board of Directors.

See Note 12, “Treasury Stock,” for a more complete description of the Company’s share buy-back program.
