I see nowhere in the ASX or NSX announcements re the CA mentioning '2000' unit holders participating in the CA!!
I also don't see the figure '$20million' in either announcements or that the claim has been settled???
The definition of 'Settlement in Principle':: A settlement in principle is an agreement between persons or organizations to resolve a dispute or transaction PENDING APPROVAL from another party in interest or authority.

However I do see 'IMF will make a further announcement if and when a binding Settlement Deed is executed'
Not much point in speculating until we get all the facts in my opinion.
