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 ($833 this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $5.28. Options: 6 managers hold calls ($3.7m notional), 6 hold puts ($4.6m).
