Fate of African Bank shareholders

A Fin24 user wants to know what is going to happen to his shares in African Bank. He writes:

I own a bunch of African Bank [JSE:ABL] normal shares and I cannot seem to find any answers as to what will happen to the normal shares should the African Bank (the good bank) be restarted.

Will they pay out a portion of the value of the African Bank shares or will my existing shares move over to the new entity, but with fewer shares, depending on the value of the new shares?

Should they close down entirely, what happens to my shares then?
