Release Confusion/Burnout

I am not trying to question anyone's knowledge / research -- but simply to get confirmation as the topic has been discussed many times over the course of this marathon BK ---
As far as releases - It seems that the only way to get shares of COOP would be to get them as part of the settlement or to buy in the open market. If one had shares of WMIH and then received COOP shares without purchasing any, that would seem to indicate that they signed releases. Could one have received COOP shares without purchasing on open market if they did not sign releases?
If the answer to that is no, then wouldn't the fact that you now have x shares of COOP instead of y shares of WMIH indicate that some records would be available regardless of what from the BK case gets destroyed? Thanks.
