* 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 ($2.2m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 29.6m as of 2022-11-02, 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 ≈ $21.71. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($926.5k notional), 6 hold puts ($4.6m).
