The Company's third quarter and fiscal year 2013 diluted EPS estimates assume an average share count of approximately 25.6 million (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards and no repurchases of the Company's stock under its share repurchase program) and assume a stock price of $17.07, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company's stock over the five trading days ended on October 31, 2012.
