* 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 ($646.9k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $3.82. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($426.4k notional), 6 hold puts ($129.0k).
