For the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013, and February 29, 2012, stock-based awards, primarily stock options, which could result in the issuance of 0.3 million shares, 0.3 million shares and 8.9 million shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of earnings per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock because the effect of including such awards would have been antidilutive.
