* 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. Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $6.36. Options: 4 managers hold calls ($146.9k notional), 2 hold puts ($43.9k).
