(a) For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, as the Company was in a net loss position, the impact of the Class B shares under the if-converted method is antidilutive and therefore we have not assumed conversion. As a result, the Class B weighted average shares, dividends declared and undistributed losses were excluded for the purposes of calculating Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Tyson on a diluted basis. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the presentation for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to remove the 70 million Class B weighted average shares, which did not change diluted net loss per share attributable to Tyson.
Approximately 7 million of our stock-based compensation shares were antidilutive for the three and six months ended March 30, 2024. Approximately 10 million and 5 million of our stock-based compensation shares were antidilutive for the three and six months ended April 1, 2023, respectively. These shares were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.
We have two classes of capital stock, Class A stock and Class B stock. Cash dividends cannot be paid to holders of Class B stock unless they are simultaneously paid to holders of Class A stock. The per share amount of cash dividends paid to holders of Class B stock cannot exceed 90% of the cash dividends paid to holders of Class A stock.
We allocate undistributed earnings (losses) based upon a 1.0 to 0.9 ratio per share to Class A stock and Class B stock, respectively. We allocate undistributed earnings based on this ratio due to historical dividend patterns, voting control of Class B shareholders and contractual limitations of dividends to Class B stock.
