settlement of fractional amounts
Explanation:
"Fractional amounts are subsequently settled in cash, based on the [equivalent] value of the cash offer."

This refers to the treatment of non-integer parts (I suspect portions of shares), which are frequently the result of a certain ratio set.

surplus settlement


Explanation:
There's not much context, so I am not certain, but it sounds like the payment of overage amounts in cash, which would be 'surplus settlement.' Eurodicautom and some others also claim 'clearance transfer' is an option, but that would be more generic.
