A company has $300 million of convertible preferred stock with a 5.00 dividend per share and a conversion price of $20.00.

If the current stock price is $25.00, what is the adjustment to the Diluted EPS numerator?

  1. Subtract the dividends to account for the increased number of shares.
  2. Add back the after-tax interest expense associated with the preferred stock.
  3. No adjustment is needed to the numerator because preferred stock is part of equity.
  4. Add back the preferred dividends that were previously subtracted to reach Net Income attributable to common.
