* 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 ($332.2k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 12.8m as of 2025-06-24, 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 ≈ $10.45. Options: 3 managers hold calls ($109.7k notional), 1 hold puts ($0).
