1 For the three and six months ended JuneÌý30, 2021, basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to Cliffs shareholders, less $82 million and $86 million, respectively, of earnings attributed to Series B Participating Redeemable Preferred Stock, by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding during the period presented.
For both the three and six months ended JuneÌý30, 2020, we had 2 million shares related to employee stock plans that were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation as they were anti-dilutive. There was no dilution during the three and six months ended JuneÌý30, 2020 related to the common share equivalents for the convertible senior notes as our common shares average price did not exceed the conversion price.
