        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (shares in thousands):

  2014   2013  

Computation of Basic and Diluted EPS:

             

Net loss

  $ (35,403 ) $ (61,914 )
           

Weighted average shares outstanding—basic and diluted

    79,369     86,992  
           

Basic and diluted EPS:

  $ (0.45 ) $ (0.71 )
           
           

        The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013; therefore, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude the effect of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating securities and all common stock equivalents because their effect would be antidilutive.

        Certain of our unvested restricted stock awards (including restricted stock units, time-based and market-based restricted stock awards) are considered participating securities since these securities have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the contractual period of the award, and thus require the two-class method of computing EPS. The calculation of EPS for common stock shown above excludes the income attributable to the participating securities from the numerator and excludes the dilutive effect of those awards from the denominator. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we had approximately 7,615,000 and 7,139,000 participating securities, respectively, which are excluded due to the net loss for that period.

        The Company defines common stock equivalents as unexercised stock options, common stock equivalents underlying the Convertible Notes (see Note 8) and warrants outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are measured using the treasury stock method, except for the Convertible Notes, which are assessed for their effect on diluted EPS using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the if-converted method. Under the provisions of the if- converted method, the Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted and included in the denominator of the EPS calculation and the interest expense, net of tax, recorded in connection with the Convertible Notes is added back to the numerator.

        In connection with the issuance of our 4.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009, the Company purchased convertible note hedges (see Note 8) which were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect is always considered antidilutive since the call option would be exercised by the Company when the exercise price is lower than the market price. Also in connection with the issuance of our 4.375% Convertible Notes, the Company entered into warrant transactions (see Note 8). On June 12, 2013, the Company entered into Unwind Agreements with respect to the convertible note hedge transactions and Unwind Agreements with respect to the warrant transactions with each of the hedge counterparties (see Note 8).

        The impact of approximately 2,009,000 unexercised stock option awards were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2013 due to the net loss for that period.

        For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we issued approximately 1,288,000 shares of common stock in connection with restricted stock awards and we canceled approximately 500,000 shares of unvested restricted stock awards.
