(1)At September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 7.0 million equity instruments outstanding that were included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. These equity instruments reflect RSUs (based on current estimate of expected share settlement amount) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.21. These equity instruments may continue to have a dilutive impact on future EPS.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Convertible Senior Notes were determined to be dilutive and were included in the calculation of diluted EPS under the “if-converted” method. Under this method, the periodic interest expense for dilutive notes is added back to the numerator and the weighted average number of shares that the notes are entitled to (if converted, regardless of whether the conversion option is in or out of the money) is included in the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS. The Convertible Senior Notes may have a dilutive impact on future EPS.
