Diluted | (4.41) |  |  | 6.93 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
(1) 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 EPS calculation. (2) Due to reporting a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, basic shares were used in the diluted EPS 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 EPS, such options will be shown in the table above.
