* 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 ($13.0k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 369.8m as of 2025-07-25, 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 ≈ $6.67. Options: 13 managers hold calls ($14.4m notional), 13 hold puts ($46.6m).

Stated purposeOn March 31, 2025, Mr. Meruelo spoke with Thomas Appio, the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, regarding the market reaction to the Issuer's recently announced debt refinancing as well as the Issuer's future debt maturities and plans to maximize shareholder value.
