* 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 ($23.9k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 367.1m as of 2024-07-26, 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 ≈ $6.98. Options: 19 managers hold calls ($34.2m notional), 15 hold puts ($111.5m).

Major shareholders (over 5%)
