* Summed across managers. Shares that two managers' reports both contain – a subsidiary's holdings that its parent's report includes too, or a sub-adviser's in its client's – are counted once ($273.2k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 13.2m as of 2023-06-21, from the company's own SEC filing; the percentage can still exceed 100%: lent-out shares are counted by the lender and the buyer, and some reports overlap without saying so. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $8.68. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($323.7k notional), 5 hold puts ($308.4k).
