As I read it, for it to be a simultaneous catch, both players must possess the ball, and they both must touch the ground inbounds.
If airborne A1 and B1 both gain possession of the ball, B1 then comes down in bounds, A1 then comes down in bounds, it will be a simultaneous catch. The ball is awarded to A1 at its' location when the simultaneous catch was completed and the ball is dead.
