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 ($145.0k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $37.19. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($1.5m notional), 7 hold puts ($2.4m).
