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 ($383.2k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $4.76. Options: 6 managers hold calls ($573.2k notional), 5 hold puts ($369.3k).
