___________________________________________________ * Our Convertible Notes were not dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, participating shares of 13.8 million and 13.5 million, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted shares as their effect was already considered under the more dilutive two-class method used above. Such participating shares at March 31, 2024 and 2023 included 9.7 million and 9.8 million potential shares, respectively, of our common stock issuable upon redemption of the Class A Units in SPT Dolphin, as discussed in Note 17.
