In the three months ended March 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations, which resulted in the presentation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share to be equal to basic earnings (loss) per common share, as any increase to the basic shares would be antidilutive. A total of 5.0 million shares outstanding were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for three months ended March 30, 2024, because their inclusion would have been antidilutive; these shares included the assumed exercise of 2.7 million options, the assumed vesting of 1.2 million restricted stock units (RSUs), the assumed vesting of 0.2 million related to the Long Range Incentive Plan (LRIP), and 0.9 million shares related to the Silver Lake Convertible Debt (as defined in Note 5, "Debt and Credit Facilities" in this "Part 1 - Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q).

With respect to the Silver Lake Convertible Debt, on February 14, 2024, the Company agreed with Silver Lake Partners to repurchase $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt for aggregate consideration of $1.59 billion in cash, inclusive of the conversion premium. The Company paid the cash consideration during the first quarter of 2024. A total of 0.9 million shares were potentially issuable under the terms of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt based on the Company's option to settle the conversion premium in shares through February 14, 2024. However, as stated above, in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 30, 2024, the 0.9 million of shares were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Refer to Note 5, "Debt and Credit Facilities" in this “Part 1 — Financial Information” of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt.

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended April 1, 2023, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million options, inclusive of 0.1 million options subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into an arrangement to sell its Richmond, British Columbia and Richardson, Texas video manufacturing operations, including the machinery and equipment, inventory, transfer of employees and related facility lease to a contract manufacturer. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company presented the assets and liabilities as held for sale in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized an impairment loss of $24 million on the exit of these video manufacturing operations within Other charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as the carrying value of the asset group was below the expected selling price. The transaction closed on February 1, 2024 resulting in a gain on the sale of these video manufacturing operations, which was de minimis.

The Company utilizes a supplier finance program which provides our suppliers the ability to accelerate payment on the Company's invoices beyond the stated payment terms. Under the terms of this program, the Company agrees to pay an intermediary the stated amount of confirmed invoices on the stated maturity dates of the invoices, and the supplier is able to negotiate earlier payment terms with the intermediary. The Company or the intermediary may terminate their agreement at any time upon 60 days' notice. The Company does not provide any forms of guarantees under this arrangement. Supplier participation in the program is solely at the supplier's discretion, and the participating suppliers negotiate their arrangements directly with the intermediary. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier's decision to participate in the program, and their participation has no bearing on our payment terms or amounts due. The stated invoice payment terms range from 75 to 120 days from the invoice date and are considered commercially reasonable.

The Company's outstanding amounts related to the suppliers participating in this program was $27 million and $35 million as of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Supplier finance program obligations are classified as Accounts payable within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
