* 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. Shares outstanding: 30.7m as of 2024-07-31, 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 ≈ $1.08. Options: 3 managers hold calls ($428 notional), 3 hold puts ($11.7k).

Options at notional value: the value of the shares the contracts control, as filers report them, not what the options cost. Not included in the holders, shares or buying above.
Major shareholders (over 5%)
Anyone who owns more than 5% of a class of the company's shares has to say so: on Schedule 13D if they may try to influence or control the company, on 13G if they're a passive investor, and update it as the stake changes. Each holder's latest filing, from 19 Dec 2024 on; percentages are of the share class, as the holder worked them out.
No one currently above 5% in the filings since 19 Dec 2024.
Fell to 5% or below in the last year: GRACE & WHITE INC /NY (4.9%, 2026-10-07)
