* 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 ($3.2m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 19.7m as of 2026-04-28, 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 ≈ $31.70. Options: 0 managers hold calls (— notional), 2 hold puts ($339.3k).
