I very much suspect the latter. Otherwise why be so circuitous and secretive about it.
I've never heard of shadow equity before. But clearly it isn't equity, ie it isn't ownership. So it almost certainly has no governance rights. Now it may entitle the creators to 50% in the event of a sale, but who's to say it's Nebula that's sold, vs Standard, and who's to say it's sold at all. Rather the standard (excuse the pun) approach of selling off the assets without selling the company.
