11. Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interests Per Common Share

We compute net income attributable to controlling interests per common share by dividing net income attributable to controlling interests by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock (including participating securities) outstanding during the period, as discussed below. Diluted computations applicable in financial reporting periods in which we report income reflect the potential dilution to the basic income per share of common stock computations that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, were converted into common stock or were to result in the issuance of common stock that would share in our results of operations. In performing our net income attributable to controlling interests per share of common stock computations, we apply accounting rules that require us to include all unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted calculations. Common stock and certain unvested share-based payment awards earn dividends equally, and we have included all outstanding restricted stock awards in our basic and diluted calculations for current and prior periods.

The following table sets forth the computations of net income attributable to controlling interests per share of common stock (in thousands, except per share data):

(1) Shares related to unvested share-based payment awards included in our basic and diluted share counts were 153,650 and 127,138 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 430,413 and 426,050 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively

As their effects were anti-dilutive, we excluded stock options to purchase 0.1 million shares and 0.0 shares from our net income attributable to controlling interests per share of common stock calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and we excluded stock options to purchase 0.0 shares and 0.1 million shares from our net income attributable to controlling interests per share of common stock calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we included 4.0 million shares of common stock for each period in our outstanding diluted share counts associated with our Series A Preferred Stock. See Note 4, "Shareholders' Equity and Preferred Stock", for a further discussion of these convertible securities.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we included 0.2 million shares of common stock for both periods in the diluted net income attributable to controlling interests per share of common stock calculations associated with our convertible senior notes.
