What matters is the settlement value not the stock price
The settlement value will drive the stock price
Susman could care less about whether the stock accurately reflects that value or not, neither now or in the future
Lawyers would have a say in what number to settle on for sure but not because they care about the share price, but because they care about their compensation which is tied to the settlement value not where the share price is or is not.
Share price has no bearing on Susman - you are tying issues together that don't tie together,
