if i am not mistaken you hold AAMRQ "in name only" think of it as a bookmark" as to how many shares you owned on the day of the merger. so when all the lawsuits/creditors/ect are paid, any left over money in the fund will be paid to the original owners (on a per share basis) so hypothetically, say they have 500 million dollars left over they will calculate it, and come up with a number say, $1.09 per share (hypothetically again) and you owned 10K shares of AAMRQ, then they would owe you 10,900.00 bucks. as a final distribution. hope this helps.
