* 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 ($187.8k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 209.8m as of 2023-04-21, 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 ≈ $6.36. Options: 15 managers hold calls ($9.7m notional), 13 hold puts ($6.7m).
