GAAP defines unvested share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities that shall be included in the computation of earnings per common share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company has issued stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and restricted stock units which, in accordance with GAAP, are considered participating securities.

Stock-based compensation awards to purchase common stock of M&T representing 1,213,284 common shares and 1,270,737 common shares during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and 2,284,597 and 1,828,360 common shares during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, were not included in the computations of diluted earnings per common share because the effect on those periods would have been antidilutive.
