Stalled?

According to the ATSB incident report: Stall protection activated, stall warning and stickshaker activated, and indicated AoA reached 10.5 degrees.

The report doesn't say that the airplane actually stalled, but maybe we can take the AoA as an indication that it did, or came very close?

PS:: The airplane was pitching down at the time (17:03:52 - 17:03:59) the AoA was recorded. Therefore the vane AoA may have been greater than the airplane AoA.
