Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting net income applicable to common shareholders and average common shares issued and outstanding for the potential impact, if dilutive, of any instruments that are exercisable or convertible into common shares. As the Corporation’s Series L convertible preferred stock (Series L) was dilutive to EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, total average dilutive common shares issued and outstanding included 62 million common shares, as the Series L was assumed to have been converted into common shares as of the beginning of the period. In addition, Series L preferred dividends of $56 million and $112 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were included in net income allocated to common shareholders, as they would not have been paid if the Series L was converted. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Corporation’s Series L was antidilutive, and therefore, there was no assumed conversion of any shares.
