Our common stock is without par value. Issuance of Common Stock On June 5, 2025, we closed the previously announced stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Bain Capital Prairie, LLC (the “Buyer”), a newly formed subsidiary of Bain Capital, under which we agreed to sell shares representing 9.9% of our outstanding common stock on a post-issuance basis to the Buyer. Under the final terms, Lincoln issued 18,759,497 shares of common stock at $44.00 per share, based on a 25% premium to the 30-day volume-weighted average price as of April 8, 2025, for aggregate consideration of $825 million. The Purchase Agreement provides for, among other things, certain limitations on the Buyer’s and certain of its affiliates’ ability to transfer common stock, purchase additional common stock, and take certain other actions with respect to the Company and its common stock, and an agreement that the Buyer and certain of its affiliates will, subject to certain limitations, vote common stock they beneficially own in favor of the matters recommended for approval by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The Purchase Agreement also grants the Buyer the right to designate one observer to be present in a nonvoting capacity at all meetings of the Board and, following the first anniversary of the closing of the Transaction, the right to replace such observer with a voting member of the Board, in each case subject to the Buyer’s satisfaction of certain conditions and approval of the Board. Earnings Per Share The calculation of earnings per share (“EPS”) was as follows (in millions except per share data):
| For the Three Months Ended June 30, |  |  |  | For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Net income (loss) per share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic | $ | 3.88 |  |  | $ | 5.18 |  |  |  |  | $ | (0.39) |  |  | $ | 12.16 |
Diluted | 3.80 |  |  | 5.11 |  |  |  |  | (0.39) |  |  | 12.03 |
(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 six months ended June 30, 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.
