* 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 ($3.3m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 28.5m as of 2024-07-29, 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 ≈ $18.75. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($682.5k notional), 7 hold puts ($3.0m).
