The calculation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share reflects all possible outstanding common shares and the resulting effect on income of the BASF incentive share program “Plus”.
In the first three quarters of 2010, and in the corresponding period of 2009, there was no dilutive effect; undiluted earnings per share were the same as the diluted value per share.
