3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share using net (loss) income attributable to Company common stockholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. As the Company has obligations under the Penny Warrants to issue shares for little or no cash consideration contingent only upon the passage of time (see Note 18 "Warrant Liabilities" for a description of the Penny Warrants), weighted average shares issuable under the Penny Warrants are included in the denominator in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS.

On December 27, 2023, EGA and LGM consummated the Merger pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, which significantly altered the Company's capital structure. Prior to the closing of the Merger, the legal structure of LGM was a limited liability company with ownership interests consisting of members' units. Application of an exchange ratio of members' units for shares of common stock for periods prior to the Merger would not be representative of the capital structure of the Company after the Merger. As such, the Company determined that an exchange ratio should not be applied to periods before the Merger and therefore earnings (net loss) per unit for periods prior to the Merger should not be presented as it would not provide a meaningful comparison with earnings (net loss) per share for periods after the Merger. See Note 4 "Merger" for further discussion. Therefore, earnings (net loss) per share information has not been presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 within these condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).
