[1] Stock options and unvested stock of 7.1 million shares for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 10.1 million shares for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, representing securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, were not included in the diluted net loss per share computations because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, 16.0 million shares in aggregate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 15.5 million shares in aggregate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, issuable upon conversion of the 2021 Cheniere Convertible Unsecured Notes and the 2045 Cheniere Convertible Senior Notes, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the computation of diluted net loss per share utilizing the “if-converted” method would be anti-dilutive. There were no shares included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the 2025 CCH HoldCo II Convertible Senior Notes because non-market-based contingencies underlying the eligible conversion date have not been met as of June 30, 2016.
