[1] Stock options and unvested stock of 7.4 million shares and 10.3 million shares as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, 82.7 million and 21.1 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, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, because the computation of diluted net loss per share utilizing the “if-converted” method at the share price as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, would be anti-dilutive.
