Schedule of Antidilutive Securities

The Company generated a loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and both of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, so the effect of dilutive securities is not considered because their effect would be antidilutive. If the Company had generated income during the three months ended June 30, 2022, the effect of restricted stock awards, employee stock options, and other equity-based awards on the diluted shares calculation would have been an increase of 1,152,737 shares. If the Company had generated income during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the effect of restricted stock awards, employee stock options, and other equity-based awards on the diluted shares calculation would have been an increase of 1,675,586 shares and 2,967,814 shares, respectively.
