Common Shares The changes in our common stock (number of shares) were as follows:
| For the Three |
| Months Ended |
| March 31, |
| 2023 |  | 2022 |
Common Stock |  |  |  |
Balance as of beginning-of-year | 169,220,511 |  | 177,193,515 |

Our common stock is without par value. Average Common Shares A reconciliation of the denominator (number of shares) in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share was as follows:
| For the Three |
| Months Ended |
| March 31, |
| 2023 |  | 2022 |
Weighted-average shares, as used in basic calculation | 169,357,846 |  | 174,153,475 |
Shares to cover non-vested stock | 568,126 |  | 1,359,873 |
Average stock options outstanding during the period | 26,423 |  | 2,296,869 |
Assumed acquisition of shares with assumed |  |  |  |
proceeds and benefits from exercising stock |  |  |  |
options (at average market price for the period) | (21,201 | ) | (1,825,626 | )
Shares repurchasable from measured but |  |  |  |
unrecognized stock option expense | - |  | (71,253 | )
Average deferred compensation shares | 553,966 |  | 521,211 |
Weighted-average shares, as used in diluted calculation (1) | 170,485,160 |  | 176,434,549 |
(1)Due to reporting a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023, basic shares were used in the diluted earnings per share calculation for this period as the use of diluted shares would have resulted in a lower loss per share. In the event the average market price of LNC common stock exceeds the issue price of stock options and the options have a dilutive effect to our earnings per share, such options will be shown in the table above. The income used in the calculation of our diluted earnings per share is our net income (loss), reduced by preferred stock dividends. This amount is presented on our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). We have participants in our deferred compensation plans who selected LNC stock as the measure for the investment return attributable to all or a portion of their deferral amounts. This obligation is settled in either cash or LNC stock pursuant to the applicable plan document. We exclude deferred units of LNC stock that are antidilutive from our diluted earnings per share calculation. The mark-to-market adjustment of these deferred units excluded from our diluted earnings per share calculation was $3 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
