* 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. Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $1.74. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($530.7k notional), 6 hold puts ($532.6k).

Major shareholders (over 5%)
Anyone who owns more than 5% of a class of the company's shares has to say so: on Schedule 13D if they may try to influence or control the company, on 13G if they're a passive investor, and update it as the stake changes. Each holder's latest filing, from 19 Dec 2024 on; percentages are of the share class, as the holder worked them out.
| Holder | Stake |
|---|---|
| Saba Capital Management, L.P. 13G · passive investor -1.7 pts · filed 2026-08-13 | 10.3% |
| Islet Management, LP 13G · passive investor new · filed 2026-04-03 | 7.3% |
Fell to 5% or below in the last year: CITADEL ADVISORS LLC (4.9%, 2026-04-06)
Insider purchases and sales since 1 Apr 2026
Shares bought or sold by the company's own officers, directors and 10% owners, in the open market or privately, as they reported to the SEC on Form 4 (due within two business days of the trade). Grants, option exercises, shares withheld for tax and gifts aren't included.
| Date | Insider | Trade | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-04-15 | Saba Capital Management, L.P. 10% owner | Sold | $1.8m676.5k shares |
Their holding: how much the trade added to or took from the insider's holding (direct, or the trust or fund named). The same trade is sometimes reported by more than one insider, such as a fund and the director who represents it; totals count it once. A value is left blank where the reported price is far from the market price (usually a typo).
