(1)The impact of dilutive effect of employee stock plans is calculated under the treasury stock method, and the impact of dilutive effect of the 7.625% Series C mandatory convertible preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) is calculated under the if-converted method. The effect of employee stock plans and Preferred Stock is excluded when calculating diluted net loss per share as it would be anti-dilutive.
(2)The Company excludes shares potentially issuable under employee stock plans and Preferred Stock that could dilute basic net EPS in the future from the calculation of diluted net EPS, as their effect, if included, would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
