Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

6. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed based on our weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on our weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock options, non-vested restricted stock, and deferred stock units, using the treasury stock method.

When a net loss is reported, potentially issuable common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

In connection with the Aegis Transactions, the Company maintained Startek's 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (see Note 11, "Share-based compensation and employee benefit plans" for more information). For the year ended December 31, 2019, the following shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because we reported a net loss and the effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

Anti-dilutive securities:
