* 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 ($555.3k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 369.6m as of 2025-04-25, 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 ≈ $6.48. Options: 15 managers hold calls ($19.6m notional), 17 hold puts ($64.2m).
