* 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 ($1.8m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 85.2m as of 2025-11-03, 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 ≈ $7.32. Options: 11 managers hold calls ($7.7m notional), 10 hold puts ($5.0m).
