* 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 ($542.8k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 385.4m as of 2025-05-05, 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 ≈ $1.81. Options: 13 managers hold calls ($5.6m notional), 9 hold puts ($3.8m).
