<li>With no changes made at the March rebalance, we are still stuck at 76 index constituents. And it's been a year later than originally planned to reach 80 index constituents.</li>
<li>We list 10 potential inclusions in June. Adding all 10 stocks will lead to around 5% one-way turnover, so there could be a mix of larger and smaller stocks added.</li>
<li>There will be at least 1x ADV to trade on nearly all inclusions. Short interest is over 4% of float on some stocks and there has been a recent jump.</li>
