From what I know, there would be a judgement first, then assuming they pay UOIP, UOIP could elect to pay a special one-time dividend. It's a corporate action.
I don't know of any reason it would "go dark" or shut down. The Market Cap would likely approach the value of the settlement if the company held it in cash, maybe at a slight discount.
e.g. defendants give UOIP $160M cash. Cash per share of $0.10. Investors are willing to pay $0.085 for waiting to receive it and for assuming risk of holding shares vs. simple cash.
Just used 160M for example, not saying anything with that.
GLTY!
