Therefore, the weighted average outstanding shares of common stock were not adjusted by 5.7 million for the as-if converted portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that was redeemed because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Refer to Note 6, "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" for additional discussion related to the transaction impacting the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Additionally, for 2019, weighted average restricted stock units and stock options of 4.3 million were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For 2018, it is more dilutive to assume the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was not converted to common stock.
