The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the Genever Holdings Corporation 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\n1198] (the \"Application\").<sup>2</sup> In support of his Motion to Expedite, the Trustee respectfully states as follows:\n\n### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASIS**\n\n1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Court\") has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the *Standing Order of Reference* from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (as amended). The Addendum, including this Motion to Expedite with respect thereto, is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\n\n2. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n3. The basis for the relief sought by this Motion to Expedite is Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1).\n\n### **BACKGROUND**\n\n#### **I. Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case**\n\n4. On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), the Individual Debtor filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n5. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (\"Committee\") in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\" or the \"Main Case\"). No examiner has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n6. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [ECF No. 465] (the \"Trustee Order\") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins\n\n<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Order have the meanings set forth in the Application.\n\nas the Trustee.<sup>3</sup>\n\n7. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case [ECF No. 523].\n\n#### **II. Genever (BVI)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n8. On October 11, 2022 (the \"Genever (BVI) Petition Date\" and, together with the Genever (US) Petition Date and the Individual Debtor Petition Date, the \"Petition Dates\"), Genever (BVI) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in this Court.\n\n9. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case.\n\n10. October 14, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case and Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case [Docket No. 970].\n\n### **III. Genever (US)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n11. On October 12, 2020, Genever (US) filed its chapter 11 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the \"New York Bankruptcy Court\").\n\n12. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case.\n\n13. On September 30, 2022, the Trustee and Genever (US) file their joint motion to transfer venue of Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case to this Court [Docket No. 211 in Case No. 20- 12411 (JLG)] (the \"Venue Transfer Motion\"). By order dated November 3, 2022, the New York Bankruptcy Court granted the Venue Transfer Motion.\n\n<sup>3</sup> The references to docket numbers set forth in this Motion refer to the Chapter 11 Case docket unless otherwise indicated.\n\n14. On November 21, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the chapter 11 cases of the Individual Debtor, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) [Docket No. 1141].\n\n#### **IV. Bar Date Motion**\n\n15. On November 8, 2022, Movants filed the *Supplemental Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee, Genever Holdings Corporation, and Genever Holdings LLC for Entry of an Order (I) Setting Bar Dates for Filing Proofs of Claim; (II) Approving Form of Notice of Bar Dates; and (III) Granting Related Relief* [Docket No. 1072] (the \"Supplemental Bar Date Motion\").\n\n16. On November 16, 2022, the Court held a hearing (the \"Hearing\") on the Supplemental Bar Date Motion [Docket No. 1072]. At the conclusion of the Hearing on the Supplemental Bar Date Motion, the Court granted the Supplemental Bar Date Motion with certain modification discussed by the Trustee on the record at the Hearing\n\n17. On November 17, 2022, the Trustee submitted to the Court a revised proposed Bar Date Order, reflecting those modifications.\n\n18. On December 2, 2022, Movants filed an addendum to the Supplemental Bar Date Motion [Docket No. 1191] (the \"Addendum\") requesting, among other things, that the Court approve procedures to allow individual creditors to submit proofs of claim on a confidential basis without publicly disclosing their names and contact information.\n\n19. On December 5, 2022, Movants filed the Application requesting entry of an order retaining Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC (\"Epiq\") as claims and noticing agent, effective as of December 1, 2022.\n\n## **THE APPLICATION**\n\n20. By the Application, the Movants seeks entry of an order appointing Epiq as the\n\n4\n\nclaims and noticing agent for the Debtors in accordance with the Services Agreement, effective as of December 1, 2022.\n\n21. As provided in the Application, it is necessary for individual creditors of the Debtors to file proofs of claim on a confidential basis due to the Individual Debtor's intimidation strategy. Movants have determined that the most efficient and economical method of submitting proofs of claim on a confidential basis is through a claims and noticing agent. An unnecessary administrative burden would be imposed on individual creditors, the Trustee, Genever (BVI), Genever (US), the Clerk, and the Court without retention of a claims and noticing agent because each individual creditor would need to seek relief from the Court to have the personal information in their proof of claim sealed. As such, the Movants believe the appointment of Epiq is in the best interests of the Debtors' estates and parties in interest.\n\n#### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n22. Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1) provides that the Court may reduce the notice period when requested by motion upon cause shown. Cause exists to consider and determine the Application upon an expedited basis. The Trustee respectfully requests that the Court schedule a hearing with respect to the Application for Monday, December 12, 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter as the Court may be available.\n\n23. For one, the appointment of a claims and noticing agent is largely a ministerial matter. Moreover, in light of the requested procedures to allow individual creditors to submit proofs of claim on a confidential basis, it is critical that a claims and noticing agent be appointed to manage and implement these procedures.\n\n24. Finally, the Trustee requests that the Court order that any opposition to the Application be filed on or before December 9, 2022, at 12:00 p.m.\n\n5\n\nWHEREFORE, Movants request that the Court issue an Order, substantially in the form\n\nattached hereto, setting a hearing on the Application on December 12, 2022, setting a deadline to\n\nobject to the Application, and ordering such other and further relief as is just and proper.\n\nDated: December 5, 2022 New Haven, Connecticut GENEVER HOLDINGS LLC\n\nBy: */s/ Douglas S.

Genever (US) 的第 11 章案件中未指定受托人或无担保债权人官方委员会。\n\n13. 2022 年 9 月 30 日，受托人与 Genever (US) 提交了关于将 Genever (US) 的第 11 章案件审理地移转至本院的联合动议 [案号 20-12411 (JLG) 卷宗编号 211]（下称「审理地移转动议」）。通过日期为 2022 年 11 月 3 日的命令，纽约破产法院准许了该审理地移转动议。\n\n3 除另有说明外，本动议中所提及的卷宗编号均指第 11 章案件的卷宗。\n\n14. 2022 年 11 月 21 日，本院作出一项命令，批准对个人债务人、Genever (BVI) 与 Genever (US) 的第 11 章案件进行合并审理 [卷宗编号 1141]。\nIV. 债权申报截止日期动议\n\n15. 2022 年 11 月 8 日，动议人提交了《第 11 章受托人、Genever Holdings Corporation 与 Genever Holdings LLC 关于请求作出（I）设定提交债权证明的截止日期；（II）批准债权申报截止日期通知书格式；以及（III）给予相关救济之命令的补充动议》[卷宗编号 1072]（下称「补充截止日期动议」）。\n\n16. 2022 年 11 月 16 日，本院就补充截止日期动议 [卷宗编号 1072] 举行了听证会（下称「听证会」）。在补充截止日期动议听证会结束时，本院准许了补充截止日期动议，并作出了受托人在听证会庭审记录中所述的若干修改。\n\n17. 2022 年 11 月 17 日，受托人向本院提交了一份体现上述修改的经修订债权申报截止日期命令草案。\n\n18. 2022 年 12 月 2 日，动议人提交了补充截止日期动议的补遗 [卷宗编号 1191]（下称「补遗」），请求（除其他事项外）本院批准允许个人债权人在不公开披露其姓名和联系方式的前提下保密提交债权证明的程序。\n\n19. 2022 年 12 月 5 日，动议人提交了申请，请求作出命令聘用 Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC（下称「Epiq」）担任债权申报与通知代理人，自 2022 年 12 月 1 日起生效。\n该申请\n\n20. 动议人通过该申请，请求作出命令指定 Epiq 按照《服务协议》担任债务人的债权申报与通知代理人，自 2022 年 12 月 1 日起生效。\n\n21. 如申请中所述，由于个人债务人的恐吓策略，债务人的个人债权人有必要在保密的基础上提交债权证明。动议人已认定，通过债权申报与通知代理人是保密提交债权证明最高效且最经济的方法。如果不聘用债权申报与通知代理人，将给个人债权人、受托人、Genever (BVI)、Genever (US)、书记官及本院带来不必要的行政负担，因为每位个人债权人都需要向本院寻求救济，以将其债权证明中的个人信息予以封存。因此，动议人认为指定 Epiq 符合债务人破产财团及各利害关系方的最大利益。\n请求的救济\n\n22. 《破产规则》第 9006(c)(1) 条规定，经动议提出并说明正当理由后，本院可缩短通知期限。以加快程序审议并裁决该申请存在充分正当理由。受托人谨请求本院将有关该申请的听证会排期在 2022 年 12 月 12 日（星期一），或在法院可行的其后尽快时间举行。\n\n23. 一方面，指定债权申报与通知代理人主要属于事务性工作。此外，鉴于所请求的允许个人债权人保密提交债权证明的程序，指定一名债权申报与通知代理人来管理和执行这些程序至关重要。\n\n24. 最后，受托人请求本院命令：对该申请的任何异议须于 2022 年 12 月 9 日中午 12:00 或之前提交。\n据此，动议人请求本院签发一份实质上采用本动议附件形式的命令，将该申请的听证会定于 2022 年 12 月 12 日举行，设定对该申请提出异议的截止日期，并命令给予公正且恰当的此类其他及进一步救济。\n\n日期：2022 年 12 月 5 日 康涅狄格州纽黑文 GENEVER HOLDINGS LLC\n\n签署人：/s/ Douglas S.
