* 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 ($71.1k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 297.6m 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 ≈ $15.31. Options: 18 managers hold calls ($89.8m notional), 10 hold puts ($45.4m).
