eligibilty for lion gold shares

Hi there,
I would like to know whether New Zealand share holders were not eligible for Lion Gold shares. I had about 400K shares and only last week i got to know that New Zealanders were not eligible for those Lion Gold shares and they have to accept the check @ 0.021.
Computer share people say it was stated in bidders statement and we do not see them. They also said that all new Zealnad share holders accepted this. I just want to clarify this and appreciate if some one could respond to this post. Thank you.
