It sounds like he's going to distribute shares to these people then declare a massive dividend to empty the company coffers so you can't claim the money.
However since you're already in dispute I suspect the courts would see it as a cynical move and hopefully include the dividend values in the real value of the company.
It's a matter for your solicitors to advise on really as posters here are only able to speculate.

(all the newly appointed directors do not work for the company, or have any involvment with it, they all have full time jobs elsewhere)
The main thing to watch is if there has been a transfer of shares or if new shares have been issued. This enables dividends to be paid and of course if the company is worth anything, this could be a substantial transfer of assets.
I would imagine your solicitor will be able to deal with this.
