We need to know if we actually NEED to hang on to our shares in order to benefit from a court settlement.

If you don't hold on to your shares then you don't own them any more and will not be a dissenting stock holder and will not be involved in the Kinross Mandatory "Confiscation " of your shares.... by the way ...Who is we ??

I don't think that is necessarily the case. The dastardly deed has already taken place, and I can prove I owned them at that time.

I think you are talking about a different legal proceeding....which would be a civil suit against the BOD of ARU etc. etal...more of a class action deal about their ( BOD) fiduciary failures, etc....

This would have nothing to do with the compulsory action of the dissenting stockholders of ARU

THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES....DON'T CONFUSE THEM !!

I am not an attorney ( thank God) so all is IMHO...and not legal advise...
