The mailing address for the Trustee and the Genever (BVI) Debtor is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\n<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Supplemental Motion.\n\n11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the chapter 11 case of the Individual Debtor, Genever Holdings Corporation (\"Genever (BVI)\"), and Genever Holdings LLC (\"Genever (US)\" and, together with the Trustee, the \"Movants\"), pursuant to section 502(b)(9) of title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\") and Rule 3003(c)(3) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy Rules\"), for entry of an order (the \"Bar Date Order\") (a) setting bar dates for creditors to submit Proofs of Claim in the Chapter 11 Cases, (b) approving procedures for submitting Proofs of Claim, (c) approving the form of Proof of Claim, and (d) approving the form of notice of the bar dates and manner of service thereof, all as more fully set forth in the Supplemental Motion.\n\nPLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT, at the conclusion of the Hearing on the Motion, the Court granted the Motion with certain modification discussed by the Trustee on the record at the Hearing, and, on November 17, 2022, the Trustee submitted to the Court a revised proposed Bar Date Order, reflecting those modifications.<sup>3</sup>\n\nPLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT, since the conclusion of the Hearing, the Individual Debtor have continued to post attacks on social media against the Trustee and Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P. in an transparent attempt to intimidate the Trustee and creditors involved in these Chapter 11 Cases, all as further detailed in *Statement of Chapter 11 Trustee with Respect to Debtor's Social Media Intimidation Campaign* [Docket No. 1133].\n\nPLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT, while these antics will not influence or sway the Trustee, it is possible (if not likely) that creditors will be intimidated and choose not to file a Proof of Claim out of fear of retaliation by the Individual Debtor and his followers. For that reason, the Trustee believes that the Bar Date Order should be revised to give individual\n\n<sup>3</sup> As of the filing of this Notice, the Court has not yet entered the Bar Date Order.\n\ncreditors the ability to submit a Proof of Claim with the creditor's name and contact information redacted. The Trustee envisions that this could be accomplished in one of two ways.\n\n- The first option would be to allow individual creditors to check a box on the Proof of Claim form to elect to have their names and contact information redacted. Such creditors would then have to submit the unredacted version of their Proof of Claim to a P.O. Box to be established by the Trustee. Once so received by the Trustee, the Trustee would redact the creditors' names and contact information on such Proofs of Claim as well as assign such creditors a unique numeric code (the \"Claimant Number\"). The Trustee would then submit the redacted versions of the Proofs of Claim to the Court for uploading onto the claims register, while retaining the unredacted originals in his records.\n- The second option would be for creditors to request from the Trustee, before submitting their Proofs of Claim, a unique Claimant Number. Such creditors would then submit their Proofs of Claim directly to the Court, but with (a) the creditors' names replaced with the assigned Claimant Numbers and (b) all contact information redacted by the creditors. In addition to submitting a redacted version to the Court, such creditors would also be required to submit an unredacted version of their Proofs of Claim to a P.O. Box to be established by the Trustee. As with the first option, the Trustee would retain the unredacted originals in his records.\n\nTo be clear, the Trustee is indifferent as between the first and the second option, and will request guidance in this regard from the Court at the status conference scheduled for November 21,\n\n3\n\n2022, at 2:00 p.m. (ET). In the meantime, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court not enter the Bar Date Order previously submitted to the Court.\n\n| Dated: | November 21, 2022      | LUC A.

Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok（仅用于接收通知和通信）。\n\n2 本文中使用但未予定义的首字母大写术语具有补充动议中赋予该等术语的含义。\n\n请进一步注意：在动议听证会结束时，法院批准了动议，但附带了受托人在听证会记录中讨论的若干修改；且于2022年11月17日，受托人向法院提交了体现该等修改的修改后拟定截止日期命令。3\n\n请进一步注意：自听证会结束以来，个人债务人继续在社交媒体上发布针对受托人和 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P.（太盟亚洲机会基金有限公司）的攻击言论，显系企图恐吓受托人及卷入这些第 11 章案件的债权人，这一切在《第 11 章受托人关于债务人社交媒体恐吓行动的陈述》[案卷号 1133] 中有进一步的详细说明。\n\n请进一步注意：虽然这些胡闹行为不会影响或动摇受托人，但债权人有可能（甚至很有可能）因害怕遭到个人债务人及其追随者的报复而受到恐吓并选择不提交债权证明。鉴于该原因，受托人认为应对截止日期命令予以修改，赋予个人债权人提交隐去债权人姓名和联系方式的债权证明的能力。受托人设想这可以通过以下两种方式之一来实现。\n\n3 截至本通知提交之日，法院尚未签署截止日期命令。\n\n- 第一种选择是允许个人债权人在债权证明表格上勾选一个复选框，以选择隐去其姓名和联系方式。该等债权人随后须将未隐去信息的债权证明版本提交至受托人设立的专用邮箱（P.O. Box）。受托人在收到后，将隐去该等债权证明上的债权人姓名和联系方式，并为该等债权人分配一个唯一的数字编号（下称“债权人编号”）。受托人随后将隐去信息的债权证明版本提交给法院以上传至债权登记册，同时在其记录中保留未隐去信息的原件。\n- 第二种选择是债权人在提交其债权证明之前向受托人申请一个唯一的债权人编号。该等债权人随后直接向法院提交其债权证明，但须 (a) 将债权人姓名替换为分配的债权人编号，且 (b) 由债权人隐去所有联系方式。除向法院提交隐去信息的版本外，该等债权人还须将未隐去信息的债权证明版本提交至受托人设立的专用邮箱。与第一种选择相同，受托人将在其记录中保留未隐去信息的原件。\n\n需要明确的是，受托人对第一种和第二种选择持中立态度，并将在定于2022年11月21日下午2:00（东部时间）举行的案件进展会议上就此向法院请求指示。在此期间，受托人谨请求法院暂不签署此前提交给法院的截止日期命令。\n\n日期：2022年11月21日\n康涅狄格州纽黑文\n\nLUC A.
