* 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 ($2.6k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 22.6m as of 2026-08-03, 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 ≈ $19.43. Options: 2 managers hold calls ($1.4m notional), 4 hold puts ($1.2m).
