This is called treasury stock. • Earnings per share is an important metric for common shareholders. Need to dilute EPS for possible common stock conversions and option exercises.

Changes to Equity from Shareholder-Related Transactions

• Sales or grants of stock or stock derivatives (e.g., employee stock options) • Cash dividend and corporate dividend policy • Stock repurchase programs and treasury stock transactions • Stock dividends and stock splits • Shareholders' equity changes are described in the Statement of Shareholders' equity
