12. Earnings per share<br />
<strong>METRO</strong> AG defines earnings per share as earnings per ordinary<br />
share. In 2009, holders of preference shares of<br />
<strong>METRO</strong> AG were entitled to a dividend of €1.298 that was<br />
€0.118 higher than that paid to holders of ordinary shares.<br />
In the calculation of earnings per share, this additional dividend<br />
is deducted from profits attributable to <strong>METRO</strong> AG<br />
shareholders.<br />
Earnings per share are determined by dividing earnings<br />
attributable to <strong>METRO</strong> AG shareholders by a weighted<br />
number of issued shares.<br />
There was no dilution in the financial year 2010 or the year<br />
before from so-called potential shares.<br />
