This might answers one of your questions. There are votes at stake. There was a report on TV a couple of nights ago that 10% of Whyalla was directly employed by Arrium.

How many voters are affected by AGS being short changed?

You say you will accept the umpire's decision but you aren't are you. The courts pretty much stated that AGS should accept the offer or their verdict would be handed down. Now does that sound to you like a verdict in AGS's favour?

Have you heard the term "flogging a dead horse". Well AGS is the dead horse.

I think the best you can hope for is a return of capital to all shareholders. Good luck with that.
