* 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 ($3.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 44.1m as of 2026-05-01, 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 ≈ $19.60. Options: 4 managers hold calls ($1.9m notional), 1 hold puts ($33.3k).
