[2] As described in Note 9—Debt, the 2045 Cheniere Convertible Senior Notes were redeemed or converted in cash on January 5, 2022. However, the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 required a presumption of share settlement for the purpose of calculating the impact to diluted earnings per share during the period the notes were outstanding in 2022. Such impact was anti-dilutive as a result of the reported net loss attributable to common shareholders during the 2022 period. See Note 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation for further discussion of our adoption of ASU 2020-06.
