We computed basic earnings per common share using net income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We computed diluted earnings per common share using net income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Net income available to participating securities was insignificant for all periods presented.
Potentially dilutive common shares from employee incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, and the assumed issuance of common stock under the stock purchase plan. Potentially dilutive common shares are determined by applying the if-converted method for our 2005 debentures. However, as our 2009 debentures require settlement of the principal amount of the debt in cash upon conversion, with the conversion premium paid in cash or stock at our option, potentially dilutive common shares are determined by applying the treasury stock method.
We excluded 51 million outstanding weighted average stock options for the second quarter of 2013 and 56 million for the first six months of 2013 from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because the exercise prices of these stock options were greater than or equal to the average market value of the common shares (10 million for the second quarter of 2012 and 15 million for the first six months of 2012). These options could be included in the calculation in the future if the average market value of the common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price of these options. In the second quarter of 2013, we included all outstanding weighted average restricted stock units and stock options with exercise prices less than the average market value of the common shares in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, but 23 million of these restricted stock units and options did not have any impact on the dilutive effect of employee equity incentive plans in the preceding table as they were determined to be anti-dilutive when the treasury stock method was applied. In the second quarter of 2013 and second quarter of 2012, we included our 2009 debentures in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because the average market price was above the conversion price. We could potentially exclude the 2009 debentures in the future if the average market price is below the conversion price.
