Potential dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (both vested and non-vested) and unvested RSUs, calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended June 28, 2020, the Company had 8.1 million of outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs that could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive given the net loss during the period. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding would exclude out-of-the-money stock options (i.e., such options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares for the period) because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As of June 27, 2021 and June 28, 2020, we had no out-of-the-money stock options
