[1] Stock options and unvested stock of 8.6 million shares and 13.0 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 8.6 million shares and 12.8 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, 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, 56.2 million shares in aggregate, issuable upon conversion of the 2021 Cheniere Convertible Unsecured Notes, the 2025 CCH HoldCo II Convertible Senior Notes and the 2045 Cheniere Convertible Senior Notes, as described in Note 7—Long-Term Debt, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 because the computation of diluted net loss per share utilizing the “if-converted” method would be anti-dilutive.
