Note 2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.

Kruger, the Company’s President, CEO and Chairman of the Board and a significant stockholder of Greystone, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, have provided limited guaranties of the Borrowers’ obligations under the IBC Restated Loan Agreement.
