There was never a 9% bonus for opt ins or committee members. The 9% was the fee Gowling would charge if they were able to get shareholders more than the amount they were currently slated to get which was around 35% I believe. If they didn't get more money there would be no payment.

The reason for opting in was because KRY and Tenor fought against shareholders wanting a fair share. There is strength in numbers and we will see that as money becomes available.
