13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding attributable to stock awards and incremental shares related to the Forward Sale Agreements. See Note 10 “Stockholder’s Equity” in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report for more information on the Forward Sale Agreements.

The following table presents basic and diluted EPS calculations for the three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands except per share data):
