Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | 14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company has two classes of common stock authorized: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to twenty-five votes per share. The Company allocates undistributed earnings attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on a one‑to‑one basis when computing net loss per share. As a result, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are equivalent. Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis. The Company’s net loss used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the deemed dividends resulting from the accretion of Old FiscalNote's preferred shares to redemption value and beneficial conversion features, as applicable. The Old FiscalNote preferred shares were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2022. At the closing of the Business Combination, all of Old FiscalNote’s preferred shares were exchanged for Class A common stock of New FiscalNote. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities. The components of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per shares are as follows:
The weighted-average common shares and thus the net loss per share calculations and potentially dilutive security amounts for all periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted to the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the Business Combination to effect the reverse recapitalization. Historically reported weighted average shares outstanding have been multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (see Note 2, "Business Combination with DSAC"). |
