Exercisable options at the end of fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 were 9.9 million, 9.4 million and 6.9 million, respectively. The following table summarizes information concerning options outstanding and exercisable as of March 2, 2002:

Restricted Stock Plan
We adopted a restricted stock award plan in fiscal 2001. The plan authorizes us to issue up to 1.5 million shares of our common stock to our eligible employees, consultants and independent contractors, as well as to our Board of Directors. Restricted shares have the same rights as other shares of common stock, except they are not transferable until fully vested. Restrictions lapse over a vesting period of at least three years, during which no more than 25% may vest at the time of award and no more than 25% on each anniversary date thereafter. All shares still subject to restrictions are forfeited and returned to the plan if the plan participant’s relationship with us is terminated. The number of shares granted under this plan was not significant during fiscal 2002 or 2001.

Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options, convertible debentures assuming certain criteria are met (see note 3), and other stock-based awards granted under stock-based compensation plans. The shares related to the convertible debentures were not included in our diluted earnings per share computation as the criteria for conversion of the debentures were not met. 

We completed a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend distributed on May 10, 2002; and a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend distributed on March 18, 1999. All share and per share information reflects these stock splits. Next Page
