Give the plaintiffs significant shares in the company, transferred directly as a flat percentage from the other shareholders.

You will find it very hard to reach C-suite level at any publicly company where you cost your shareholders that way. And since it would constitute a violation of fiduciary duty, executives would be able to defend themselves when they take action to avoid that happening.

Given that it is a private company, would those share be meaningfully valuable? Plenty of ways to screw minority shareholders in private markets.
