In accordance with IAS 33, earnings per share are determined by dividing earnings attributable to shareholders of BASF SE by the weighted average of outstanding shares. Pursuant to IAS 33, a potential dilutive effect must be considered in the diluted earnings per share for those BASF shares that will be granted in the future as part of BASF’s “plus” share program. This applies regardless of the fact that the necessary shares are acquired on the market by third parties on behalf of BASF and that there are no plans to issue new shares. A dilutive effect from the issue of “plus” shares arose in the amount of €0.01 in 2021 (2020: no dilutive effect).
