Net Loss Per Share
Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of contingent shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive contingent shares, which consist of stock options, restricted stock units (including performance stock units), liability warrants, warrants issued to third parties and accounted for as equity instruments convertible senior notes and contingently issuable shares, have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation when the effect of including such shares is anti-dilutive. As illustrated in the table below, the change in the fair value of the Company’s warrants and contingently issuable shares, which are assumed to be converted into the Company’s common stock upon exercise, are adjusted to net income for purposes of computing dilutive loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Common stock to be issued upon the exercise of warrant instruments classified as a liability is included in the calculation of diluted loss per share when dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock (in thousands, except per share amounts):

These are Legacy Row 44 warrants originally issuable for Row 44 common stock and Row 44 Series C preferred stock, and now issuable for our Common Stock. See Note 11. Common Stock, Share-Based Awards and Warrants.

In connection with the EMC Acquisition on July 27, 2016 (the “EMC Acquisition Date”), we were obligated to pay $25.0 million in cash or stock, at our option, on July 27, 2017, which we elected to pay in 5,080,049 newly issued shares of our common stock on that date. See Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies. This “EMC deferred consideration” represents those shares.
