Performance based RSU shares of 1.1 million and 0.9 million were excluded for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as the performance targets for those awards have not been achieved as of the end of the applicable periods.

For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company was in a net loss position and all of the 1.2 million
outstanding RSU and 1.8 million performance based RSU shares were excluded from the diluted weighted average shares
outstanding calculation as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
