(f)Earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed as shown in the table below for the periods indicated. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the profit (loss) attributable to owners of the parent by the average number of shares for the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed on a similar way, but with the adjustment in the denominator when assuming the conversion of all shares that may be diluted.
(i)Basic
Earnings per share information have been retroactively adjusted for proportional reductions in the number of shares arising from transfers from Capital to Share Premium, which resulted in the effects bellow:
|
· |
Cancellation of 350,000,000 shares in April 2016; |
|
· |
Cancellation of 200,000,000 shares in June 2017, |
|
· |
Cancellation of 300,000,000 shares in September 2017 and |
|
· |
Cancellation of 428,595,552 shares in October 2017. |
