(1) The Company believes these non-GAAP measurements are key indicators of the ongoing earnings power of the Company.
(2) During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, 47,473 shares of Class C preferred stock and 11,061,552 shares of Class D preferred stock were converted into 10,278,072 shares of Class A common stock. Additionally, the Bank closed on the initial public offering of its Class A common stock on July 27, 2021, in which it issued 4,600,000 shares of Class A common stock. As such, the total shares issued and outstanding of Class A common stock was 18,767,541 shares at September 30, 2021.
(3) Excludes the dilutive effect, if any, of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options.
(4) During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been antidilutive.
(5) During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into agreements with the Class B common shareholders to exchange all outstanding Class B non-voting common stock for Class A voting common stock at a ratio of 1 share of Class A common stock for each 5 shares of Class B non-voting common stock. In calculating net income (loss) per diluted share for the prior quarters presented, the allocation of operating net income available to common stockholders was based on the weighted average shares outstanding per common share class to the total weighted average shares outstanding during each period. The operating net income allocation was calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding of Class B common stock on an as-converted basis.
