(3) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share (EPS)

Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented. Excluded from EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 are less than a million and 2 million potential common shares due to stock options, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. Also excluded from EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2021, because their inclusion would be antidilutive, were 13 million shares that were contingently issuable at the Company’s election pursuant to an exercise of the Put Option (defined and described in note 6), as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock. On March 22, 2021, pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement (described and defined in note 6), the Put Option no longer exists. The contingently issuable shares pursuant to the Put Option were calculated for the period that the Put Option was outstanding.
