In support of this Motion, the Debtor submits and incorporates the *Declaration of Mr. Ho Wan Kwok in*\n\n<span id=\"page-0-0\"></span><sup>1</sup> Although the Debtor's legal name is Ho Wan Kwok, he is also known by the following names: Guo Wengui; Miles Guo; and Miles Kwok.\n\n*Support of the Chapter 11 Case and Certain Motions* (the \"Kwok Declaration\") [Docket No. 107] and respectfully states as follows:\n\n#### **JURISDICTION**\n\n**1.** 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). This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\n\n**2.** Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n**3.** The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a), 501, 502(b)(9), 503(b)(9), and 1111(a), Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3003 and 9007, and Local Rules 2002-1 and 3003-1.\n\n### **BACKGROUND**\n\n**4.** On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), the Debtor commenced the Chapter 11 Case by filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n**5.** The Debtor is a debtor-in-possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 1107(a) and 1108.\n\n**6.** No trustee or examiner has been appointed in this Chapter 11 Case. On March 21, 2022, the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut (the \"U.S. Trustee\") appointed the official committee of unsecured creditors (the \"Committee\") pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n**7.** On March 9, 2022, the Debtor filed his Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (collectively, the \"Schedules\") [Docket No. 78] and Statement of Financial Affairs (the \"SOFA\") [Docket No. 77].\n\n2\n\n**8.** The Debtor's general background is provided in the Kwok Declaration and incorporated herein. He is an outspoken Chinese political dissident and a prominent Chinese prodemocracy activist. Over the years, he has amassed a following on various digital and media platforms where he shares his personal views and opinions concerning the People's Republic of China (the \"PRC\") and other world affairs. His views and opinions on the Chinese Communist Party (the \"CCP\"), as the ruling party of the PRC, have been influenced by his living through the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989, his subsequent imprisonment and torture in China, and his direct knowledge of and personal experiences involving high-level CCP corruption. He currently lives in the United States, where his asylum application remains pending.\n\n**9.** The Debtor is a named party as a plaintiff, defendant, or co-defendant in over 30 active cases pending in the United States and abroad, including in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the British Virgin Islands, and Canada – the majority of these suits remain active here in the United States (although many are currently subject to the automatic bankruptcy stay). *See* SOFA [ECF No. 77].\n\n### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n**10.** The Debtor seeks entry of the Bar Date Order, substantially in the form attached hereto as **Exhibit A**:\n\n> a. establishing the deadline for each person (as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 101(41)), excluding governmental units (as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 101(27), the \"Governmental Units\"), to file a proof of claim (each, a \"Proof of Claim,\" and collectively, the \"Proofs of Claim\") in respect of any prepetition claim (as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 101(5)), including, for the avoidance of doubt, secured claims, priority claims, and claims arising under Bankruptcy Code section 503(b)(9), against the Debtor that is fifty-two (52) days from the date of service of the Bar Date Notice (such deadline, the \"General Bar Date\");\n\n- b. establishing **August 15, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. (ET)** (the first Business Day after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the order for relief) as the deadline for Governmental Units to file a Proof of Claim in respect of any prepetition claim against the Debtor (such deadline, the \"Governmental Bar Date,\" and together with the General Bar Date, the \"Bar Dates\");\n- c. except as otherwise set forth in any order authorizing the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease, establishing the later of (a) the General Bar Date, or (b) thirty (30) days after the date of entry of any order authorizing the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease, as the bar date by which a proof of claim for any claim arising from the Debtor's rejection of such contract or lease must be filed (the \"Rejection Bar Date\");\n- d. in the event that the Debtor amends his Schedules, establishing the later of (a) the General Bar Date (or the Government Bar Date for Governmental Units) or (b) thirty (30) calendar days after the holder of such claim is served with notice that the Debtor has amended his Schedules with respect to the affected holder's claim, as the bar date for filing a proof of claim with respect to such claim affected by such amendment, provided, however, that any holder of a claim listed on the Schedules as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated shall have forty-five (45) calendar days with respect to such claim affected by such amendment as the bar date for filing a proof of claim (the \"Amended Schedule Bar Date\");\n- e. approving the proposed procedures for filing Proofs of Claim;\n- f. approving the proposed procedure for notice of the Bar Dates applicable to claims other than 503(b)(9) claims, including the form of notice substantially in the form attached to the Bar Date Order as **Annex I** (the \"Bar Date Notice\");\n- g. approving the proposed form for Proofs of Claim (the \"Claim Form\"), substantially in the form attached to the Bar Date Order as **Annex II**; and\n- h. approving the form of notice of the Bar Date applicable to 503(b)(9) claims, substantially in the form attached to the Bar Date Order as **Annex III** (the \"503(b)(9) Bar Date Notice\").\n\n# **THE BAR DATES**\n\n**11.** Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(3) provides that the Court shall fix the time within which Proofs of Claim may be filed. Moreover, Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2) provides that any creditor whose claim (a) is not scheduled in the Debtor's Schedules or (b) is scheduled as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated must file a Proof of Claim by a deadline fixed by the Court. Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2) further provides that \"any creditor who fails to do so shall not be treated as a creditor with respect to such claim for the purposes of voting and distribution.\" Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3003(c)(2).\n\n**12.** Bankruptcy Code section 502(b)(9) provides that the \"claim of a governmental unit shall be timely filed if it is filed before 180 days after the date of the order for relief or such later time as the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure may provide.\" 11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(9).\n\n**13.** The Debtor believes that many persons, individuals, or entities may be creditors in this Chapter 11 Case. Based on the procedures set forth below (the \"Procedures\"), the proposed Bar Dates will give creditors ample opportunity to prepare and file Proofs of Claim in conjunction therewith.\n\n**14.** The Debtor further believes that setting the General Bar Date is appropriate at this point in this Chapter 11 Case and should be approved by the Court for cause shown. The establishment of the General Bar Date will help ensure that all claims are resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible, which, in turn, will help to ensure the quick and efficient resolution of this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n**15.** The Debtor submits that fixing the General Bar Date pursuant to the notice procedures set forth below complies with the notice required under the Bankruptcy Rules and will provide the Debtor's creditors with sufficient time to prepare and file Proofs of Claim.\n\n#### **503(b)(9) BAR DATE**\n\n**16.** The Debtor requests that the Court also establish the General Bar Date as the last date and time by which a creditor may seek payment of an administrative expense claim allowable under Bankruptcy Code section 503(b)(9) (a \"503(b)(9) Claim\"). At the appropriate time, the\n\n5\n\nDebtor will seek to establish a bar date applicable to other claims entitled to administrative expense priority, including employees or professionals utilized in the ordinary course of business, or professionals requesting compensation pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 326, 327, 328, 330, 331, 363 and 503(b).\n\n**17.** The Debtor is formulating the terms of his Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and intends to file shortly his plan and disclosure statement, after which time, the Debtor intends to quickly transition to soliciting acceptances of the plan. If the 503(b)(9) Bar Date is not established on the proposed date, then the feasibility of the Debtor's Chapter 11 plan may be uncertain until a 503(b)(9) Bar Date is established.\n\n# **PROPOSED PROCEDURES FOR FILING PROOF OF CLAIM**\n\n# **A. Filing Procedures – Proof of Claim**\n\n- **18.** The Debtor proposes the following Procedures for filing Proofs of Claim:\n\t- a. Unless otherwise provided herein, the General Bar Date shall be fifty-two (52) days from the date of service of the Bar Date Notice.\n\t- b. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Governmental Bar Date shall be **August 15, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. (ET).**\n\t- c.

The Claim Form can be found at http on the website established by the Debtor for this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n- d. A Proof of Claim is deemed to be timely filed only if it is **actually received** by the Court or an authorized claims agent[3](#page-6-0) by the applicable Bar Date. Proofs of Claim may not be delivered by facsimile, telecopy, or electronic mail transmission.\n- e. Any person (including, without limitation, individuals, partnerships, corporations, joint ventures, trusts, or Governmental Units) that asserts a claim arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease must file a Proof of Claim based on such rejection by the later of (i) the applicable Bar Date and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days after the entry of an order by the Court approving such rejection, or be forever barred from so filing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party to an executory contract or unexpired lease that asserts a claim on account of unpaid amounts accrued and outstanding as of the Petition Date, pursuant to such executory contract or unexpired lease (other than a claim for rejection damages), must file a Proof of Claim for such unpaid amounts on or before the applicable Bar Date unless an exception identified in subsection (g) below applies.\n- f. If the Debtor amends or supplements his Schedules after the Debtor's counsel gives notice of the Bar Dates, which is to be mailed under the terms of this Bar Date Order, then the Debtor shall give notice of any amendment or supplement to the holders of any claims affected thereby, and such holders shall have until the later of (i) the applicable Bar Date and (ii) thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to file a Proof of Claim, or be forever barred from so filing, provided, however, that any holder of a claim listed on the Schedules as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated shall have fortyfive (45) calendar days with respect to such claim affected by such amendment as the bar date for filing a proof of claim.\n- g. The following persons are not required to file a Proof of Claim on or before the applicable Bar Date, solely with respect to the claims described below:\n\t- i. any person whose claim is listed on the Schedules; if (x) the claim is not listed on the Schedules as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, and (y) the person does not dispute the amount, nature, or priority of the claim as set forth in the Schedules;\n\t- ii. any person whose claim has been paid in full;\n\t- iii. a claim that has been allowed by an order of this Court entered on or before the applicable Bar Date;\n\n<span id=\"page-6-0\"></span><sup>3</sup> The Debtor has requested approval to retain Stretto Inc. (\"Stretto\") as his claims agent. If the Court approves the application, then Stretto may be authorized to take receipt of proofs of claim. Information on the Proof of Claim and applicable methods of submission is available at http\n\n- iv. a claim for which a separate deadline has been fixed by this Court;\n- v. any person that already has filed a Proof of Claim against the Debtor in this Chapter 11 Case in a form that is substantially similar to the Official Form; or\n- vi. any person not required to file a proof of claim pursuant to any orders of the Bankruptcy Court.\n\n### **B. Filing Procedures – 503(b)(9) Claims**\n\n**19.** The Debtor further proposes that, for any 503(b)(9) Claim to be validly filed, the application or motion seeking approval of the 503(b)(9) Claim must be filed with the Court and delivered by first-class mail, overnight delivery, or hand delivery to the appropriate address below, so as to be received on or before the General Bar Date (the \"503(b)(9) Bar Date\").\n\nBy overnight courier, first class mail, or hand delivery to:\n\nBrown Rudnick LLP c/o Uriel Pinelo, Esq. Seven Times Square New York, NY 10036\n\n### **CONSEQUENCES OF FAILING TO FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM**\n\n**20.** As stated above, Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2) provides that any creditor whose claim is not scheduled or is scheduled as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated and that fails to file a proof of claim by the bar date \"shall not be treated as a creditor with respect to such claim for the purposes of voting and distribution.\" Accordingly, the Debtor requests that any holder of a claim against the Debtor that is required to file a Proof of Claim in accordance with the Bar Date Order, but that fails to do so on or before the applicable Bar Date, shall: (a) be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from asserting such claim against the Debtor, his property, or his estate (or from submitting a Proof of Claim with respect thereto); and (b) not be treated as a creditor with respect to such claim for the purposes of voting and distribution with respect to any chapter 11 plan that may be filed in this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n**21.** The Debtor further proposes that any holder of a 503(b)(9) Claim against the Debtor who is required, but fails, to file a written application or motion for payment of such 503(b)(9) Claim with the Court on or before the General Bar Date, in the form and manner directed by the Court, shall: (i) be forever barred, estopped, and permanently enjoined from asserting such claim against the Debtor, his successors, or his property (and from filing a Proof of Claim with respect thereto), and the Debtor, his successors, and his property shall be forever discharged from any and all indebtedness or liability with respect to such claim; (ii) not be treated as a creditor (as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 101(10)) with respect to such claim for purposes of voting and distribution under any plan of reorganization or liquidation filed in this Chapter 11 Case; and (iii) not be entitled to receive further notices regarding such claim.\n\n# **NOTICE OF THE BAR DATES AND 503(b)(9) BAR DATE**\n\n**22.** Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 2002(a)(7), (f), and (l), the Debtor proposes providing notice of the Bar Dates and 503(b)(9) Bar Date in accordance with the following steps:\n\n- a. Within five (5) business days after entry of this Order, the Debtor shall cause to be mailed (i) the Claim Form and (ii) the Bar Date Notice and 503(b)(9) Bar Date Notice to the following parties:\n\t- i. the United States Trustee;\n\t- ii. counsel to the Committee and counsel to any trustee and/or examiner then appointed;\n\t- iii. all known holders of claims listed on the Schedules at the addresses stated therein or as updated pursuant to a request by any such creditor or by returned mail from the post office with a forwarding address, provided, however, that all holders of claims listed as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated in the Debtor's Schedules shall also be served with a Notice of Disputed, Contingent, or Unliquidated Claim and Notice of Deadline For Filing Proof of Claim pursuant to Local Rule 3003-1 and the Court's Order and Notice to Disputed, Contingent and Unliquidated Creditors (Appendix K), substantially in the form attached to the Bar Date Order as **Annex IV** (the \"Local Rule 3003-1 Notice\");\n- iv. all parties actually known to the Debtor as having potential claims against the Debtor;\n- v. all counterparties to the Debtor's executory contracts and unexpired leases listed on the Schedules at the addresses stated therein or as updated pursuant to a request by any such counterparty or by returned mail from the post office with a forwarding address;\n- vi. the attorneys of record to all parties to pending litigation against the Debtor (as of the date of entry of the Bar Date Order);\n- vii. the Internal Revenue Service and all applicable Governmental Units;\n- viii. all persons or entities that have filed claims (as of the date of entry of the Bar Date Order);\n\t- ix. all parties that have sent correspondence to the Court and that are listed on the Court's electronic docket (as of the date of entry of the Bar Date Order);\n\t- x. all parties who have requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 (as of the date of entry of the Bar Date Order); and\n\t- xi. such additional persons and entities as deemed appropriate by the Debtor.\n- b. With regard to those holders of claims listed on the Schedules, the Debtor shall mail one or more Claim Forms indicating on such forms how the Debtor has scheduled such creditors' claims on the Schedules (including the amount of such claims, and whether such claims have been scheduled as contingent, unliquidated, or disputed).\n- c. The Debtor shall post the Claim Form and Bar Date Notice on the website that has been established by Stretto for this Chapter 11 Case: http\n\n# **THE CLAIM FORM**\n\n**23.** With the assistance of Stretto, the Debtor has prepared the Claim Form, which substantially conforms to the Official Form, but is tailored to this Chapter 11 Case. The modifications to the Official Form proposed by the Debtor in the Claim Form include adding certain instructions related thereto.\n\n**24.** When sent to a creditor, the Claim Form will be further customized (if possible) to include certain information about such creditor.\n\n### **THE BAR DATE NOTICE**\n\n**25.** The proposed Bar Date Notice and 502(b)(9) Bar Date Notice, notifies parties of, as applicable:\n\n- a. the applicable Bar Dates;\n- b. who must file a Proof of Claim or assert a 503(b)(9) Claim;\n- c. the Procedures for filing a Proof of Claim or asserting a 503(b)(9) Claim;\n- d. the consequences for failing to timely file a Proof of Claim or asserting a 503(b)(9) Claim; and\n- e. where parties can find additional information on these matters.\n\n### **THE PROPOSED BAR DATES AND PROCEDURES ARE REASONABLY CALCULATED TO PROVIDE DUE AND PROPER NOTICE**\n\n**26.** Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(7) requires the Debtor to provide at least twenty-one (21) days' notice of the time fixed for the deadline for filing Proofs of Claim. Bankruptcy Rule 2002(p)(2) requires at least thirty (30) days' notice to creditors with a foreign address of the time fixed for the deadline for filing Proofs of Claim. Local Rule 3003-1 requires that the Debtor provide notice of the time fixed for the deadline for filing Proofs of Claim to creditors whose claims are listed on the Schedules as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated upon the earlier of fortyfive (45) days prior to the proposed General Bar Date or the initial confirmation hearing that may be scheduled in this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n**27.** Under the Bar Date Order, the Debtor would be providing fifty-two (52) days' notice to all known creditors, which is more that was is required under the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, and Local Rules. Accordingly, the Debtor submits that the proposed Bar Dates and the Procedures provide sufficient time for all parties in interest, including foreign creditors, if any, to assert their alleged claims. The Debtor submits that the proposed Procedures are reasonably calculated to provide notice to all parties that may wish to assert a claim in this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n**28.** Stretto will also post the Claim Form, along with instructions for filing any Proofs of Claim, on the website established in this Chapter 11 Case, http The Bar Date Notice will also provide that the Debtor's Schedules may be accessed through that same website by contacting Stretto at TeamMiles@Stretto.com.\n\n**29.** Accordingly, the Debtor submits that no further notice of the Bar Dates is necessary and that the proposed Procedures provide due and proper notice of the Bar Dates.\n\n#### **OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS AND RESERVATIONS OF RIGHTS**\n\n**30.** The Debtor reserves all rights and defenses with respect to all Proofs of Claim, including, among others, the right to object to any Proof of Claim on any grounds. The Debtor also reserves all rights and defenses to any claim listed on the Schedules, including, among others, the right to dispute any such claim and assert any setoffs or defenses thereto. If the Debtor disputes any claim listed on the Schedules and such claim is not already listed as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, then the Debtor shall amend his Schedules as appropriate.\n\n**31.** Further, the Debtor reserves the right to seek a further order of this Court to fix a deadline by which holders of any claims not subject to the Bar Dates must file Proofs of Claim or assert such claims by way of motion or application against the Debtor or be forever barred from so filing.\n\n**32.** Based on the foregoing, the Debtor submits that the relief requested herein is necessary and appropriate, is in the best interests of the Debtor's estate and his creditors, and should be granted in all respects.\n\n12\n\n### **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**\n\n**33.** The Debtor reserves all right to amend and modify the Procedures set forth herein, as incorporated in the Bar Date Order, pending the Court's determination on the *Debtor's Application for Authorization To Retain and Employ Stretto as Claims and Noticing Agent* [Docket No. 87], prior to or at the hearing to consider this Motion.\n\n#### **NOTICE**\n\n**34.** The Debtor will provide notice of this Motion to: (a) the United States Trustee; (b) the Committee; (c) the Internal Revenue Service; (d) the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut; and (e) any party that has requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. The Debtor submits that, under the circumstances, no other or further notice is required.\n\n#### **NO PRIOR REQUEST**\n\n**35.** No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made by the Debtor to this or any other Court.\n\n**\"***Concluded on following page***\"**\n\nWHEREFORE, the Debtor respectfully requests entry of the Order: (a) establishing the General Bar Date; (b) establishing the Governmental Bar Date; (c) establishing the 503(b)(9) Bar Date; (d) approving the proposed procedures for filing Proofs of Claim; (d) approving the proposed procedure for notice of the Bar Dates, including the Bar Date Notice and 503(b)(9) Bar Date Notice; (e) approving the Claim Form; and (f) granting such other and further relief as the Court deems appropriate.\n\nDated: March 30, 2022\n\n### **BROWN RUDNICK LLP**\n\nBy: /s/ *William R.

Please review the Notice Of 503(B)(9) Claims Bar Date To All Persons With Claims Against The Debtor for instructions related to the assertion of a claim arising under Bankruptcy Code section 503(b)(9) against the Debtor.\n\nThe General Bar Date and the procedures set forth below for filing Proofs of Claim (the \"Procedures\") apply to all claims, excluding prepetition Claims arising under Bankruptcy Code section 503(b)(9), against the Debtor that arose before February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), which was the date that the Debtor commenced this Chapter 11 Case. Governmental Units have until **[August 15], 2022 at 11:59 p.m. (ET).** (the \"Governmental Bar Date,\" and, together with the General Bar Date, the \"Bar Dates\") as the deadline to file Proofs of Claim against the Debtor.\n\n### **1. WHO MUST FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM**\n\nYou must file a Proof of Claim in order to vote on a chapter 11 plan filed by the Debtor or to be able to share in distributions from the Debtor's estate if you have a claim that arose before the Petition Date, and it is not one of the types of claims described in section 4 below. Claims based on acts or omissions of the Debtor that occurred before the Petition Date must be filed on or before the applicable Bar Date, even if such claims are not now fixed, liquidated, or certain or did not mature or become fixed, liquidated, or certain before the Petition Date.\n\n<span id=\"page-23-0\"></span><sup>1</sup> Although the Debtor's legal name is Ho Wan Kwok, he is also known by the following names: Guo Wengui; Miles Guo; and Miles Kwok.\n\nUnder Bankruptcy Code section 101(5) and as used in this notice, the word \"claim\" means a right to (a) payment, whether such right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured; or (b) an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured, or unsecured.\n\n# **2. WHAT TO FILE**\n\nThe Debtor is enclosing a Proof of Claim form for use in this Chapter 11 Case. If your claim is listed on the schedules of assets and liabilities filed by the Debtor (the \"Schedules\"), then the Proof of Claim form also sets forth the amount of your claim as listed on the Schedules and whether the claim is scheduled as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated. You will receive a different Proof of Claim form for each claim listed in your name on the Schedules. You may utilize the Proof of Claim form(s) provided by the Debtor in order to file your claim(s). Additional Proof of Claim forms and instructions may be obtained at (a) the website established by the Debtor's Court-proposed claims and noticing agent, Stretto, Inc. (\"Stretto\"), located at http or (b) the Bankruptcy Court's website located at www.uscourts.gov/forms/bankruptcy-forms.\n\nAll Proofs of Claim must be signed by the claimant or, if the claimant is not an individual, by an authorized agent of the claimant. All Proofs of Claim must be written in English and be denominated in United States currency (using the exchange rate, if applicable, as of the Petition Date). You should also attach to your completed Proof of Claim any documents on which such claim is based (if the supporting documentation is voluminous, attach a summary of such documentation instead) or an explanation as to why the supporting documents are not available.\n\nAll Proofs of Claim must not contain complete social security numbers or taxpayer identification numbers (include only the last four (4) digits of such numbers), complete birth dates (include only the relevant year), the names of any minors (include only such minors' initials), or financial account numbers (include only the last four (4) digits of such numbers).\n\n# **3. WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE**\n\nAll Proofs of Claim must be filed so as to be received on or before [ ], 2022 at 11:59 p.m. (ET) (for all persons except Governmental Units), or so as to be received on or before [August 15], 2022 at 11:59 p.m. (ET) (for all Governmental Units) by the Bankruptcy Court at the following address: [2](#page-24-0)\n\nUS Bankruptcy Court District of Connecticut Brien McMahon Federal Building 915 Lafayette Boulevard Bridgeport, CT 06604\n\n<span id=\"page-24-0\"></span><sup>2</sup> If the Bankruptcy Court approves the retention of Stretto as the Debtor's Claims agent, then the Debtor will revise this notice to direct creditors to submit Proofs of Claims to Stretto.\n\nAll Proofs of Claim will be deemed filed only when **actually received** at the address listed above on or before the applicable Bar Date.\n\nPROOFS OF CLAIM **MAY NOT** BE DELIVERED BY FACSIMILE, TELECOPY, OR ELECTRONIC MAIL TRANSMISSION.\n\n# **4. WHO DOES NOT NEED TO FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM**\n\nYou do not need to file a Proof of Claim on or before the applicable Bar Date if you are:\n\n- a. any person whose claim is listed on the Schedules; if (x) the claim is not listed on the Schedules as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, and (y) the person does not dispute the amount, nature, or priority of the claim as set forth in the Schedules;\n- b. any person whose claim has been paid in full;\n- c. a claim that has been allowed by an order of this Court entered on or before the applicable Bar Date;\n- d. a claim for which a separate deadline has been fixed by this Court;\n- e. any person that already has filed a Proof of Claim against the Debtor in this Chapter 11 Case in a form that is substantially similar to the Official Form; or\n- f. any person not required to file a proof of claim pursuant to any order of the Bankruptcy Court.\n\nThis notice may be sent to many persons that have had some relationship with or have done some business with the Debtor, but that may not have an unpaid claim against the Debtor. The fact that you have received this notice does not mean that you have a claim against the Debtor or that the Bankruptcy Court or the Debtor believe that you have a claim against the Debtor.\n\n# **5. EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES**\n\nIf you hold a claim arising out of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease as to which the order authorizing such rejection is dated on or before the date of entry of the Bar Date Order, then you must file a Proof of Claim by the applicable Bar Date. If you have a claim arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease as to which the order authorizing such rejection is dated after the date of entry of the Bar Date Order, then you must file a Proof of Claim with respect to such claim by the dated fixed by the Bankruptcy Court in the applicable order authorizing rejection of such contract or lease as the deadline for filing a Proof of Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party to an executory contract or unexpired lease that asserts a claim on account of unpaid amounts accrued and outstanding as of the Petition Date pursuant to such executory contract or unexpired lease (other than a claim for rejection damages) must file a Proof of Claim for such amounts on or before the applicable Bar Date.\n\n# **6. CONSEQUENCES OF THE FAILURE TO FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM BY THE APPLICABLE BAR DATE**\n\nANY HOLDER OF A CLAIM THAT IS NOT EXEMPTED FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BAR DATE ORDER, AS SET FORTH IN FULL IN SECTION 4 ABOVE, AND THAT FAILS TO TIMELY FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM IN THE APPROPRIATE FORM SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS A CREDITOR WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ALLEGED CLAIM FOR THE PURPOSES OF VOTING ON ANY PLAN OF REORGANIZATION FILED IN THIS CHAPTER 11 CASE AND FOR PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISTRIBUTION IN THE DEBTOR'S CHAPTER 11 CASE ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH ALLEGED CLAIM.\n\n# **7. THE DEBTOR'S SCHEDULES AND ACCESS THERETO**\n\nYou may be listed as a holder of a claim against the Debtor on the Debtor's Schedules.\n\nTo determine if and how you are listed on the Schedules, please refer to the descriptions set forth on the enclosed Proof of Claim form(s) regarding the nature, amount, and status of your claim(s). If you received post-petition payments from the Debtor (as authorized by the Bankruptcy Court) on account of your claim(s), then the enclosed Proof of Claim form(s) should reflect the net amount of your claim(s).\n\nAs set forth above, if you agree with the nature, amount, and status of your claim as listed on the Debtor's Schedules, and if your claim is not described as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, then you need not file a Proof of Claim. Otherwise, or if you decide to file a Proof of Claim, then you must do so before the applicable Bar Date, in accordance with the Procedures as set forth in this notice.\n\nCopies of the Debtor's Schedules are available for inspection on the Bankruptcy Court's electronic docket for the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case, which is posted on (a) the website established by Stretto for the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case at http and (b) on the Bankruptcy Court's website at htt A login and password to the Bankruptcy Court's Public Access to Court Electronic Records (\"PACER\") are required in order to access this information through the Bankruptcy Court's website, and can be obtained through the PACER Service Center at htt Copies of the Debtor's Schedules also may be examined between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time), Monday through Friday at the Office of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, located at:\n\nBrien McMahon Federal Building 915 Lafayette Boulevard Bridgeport, CT 06604\n\nCopies of the Debtor's Schedules also may be obtained by sending a request to Stretto at TeamMiles@Stretto.com.\n\nA HOLDER OF A POTENTIAL CLAIM AGAINST THE DEBTOR SHOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY REGARDING ANY MATTERS NOT COVERED BY THIS NOTICE, SUCH AS WHETHER THE HOLDER OF SUCH A POTENTIAL CLAIM SHOULD FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM.\n\nDated: April [ ], 2022\n\n### **BROWN RUDNICK LLP**\n\nBy: /s/ *DRAFT*  BROWN RUDNICK LLP 185 Asylum Street Hartford, CT 06103 Attn: Dylan Kletter, Esq.

A claim is secured to the extent that a creditor has the right to be paid from the property before other creditors are paid. The amount of a secured claim usually cannot be more than the value of the particular property on which the creditor has a lien. Any amount owed to a creditor that is more than the value of the property normally may be an unsecured claim. But exceptions exist; for example, see 11 U.S.C. § 1322(b) and the final sentence of 1325(a).\n\nExamples of liens on property include a mortgage on real estate or a security interest in a car.

A claim may be unsecured in part to the extent that the amount of the claim is more than the value of the property on which a creditor has a lien.\n\n# **Offers to purchase a claim**\n\nCertain entities purchase claims for an amount that is less than the face value of the claims. These entities may contact creditors offering to purchase their claims.

DATE TO ALL PERSONS WITH CLAIMS AGAINST THE DEBTOR**\n\nThe United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Bankruptcy Court\") has entered an order (the \"Bar Date Order\") establishing **[ ], 2022 at 11:59 p.m. (ET**) (the \"503(b)(9) Bar Date\") as the last date and time for each person to file an administrative expense claim based on claims against the debtor and debtor-in-possession (the \"Debtor\") in the abovecaptioned Chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") arising under 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(9) (the \"503(b)(9) Claims\").\n\nThe 503(b)(9) Bar Date and the procedures set forth below for filing a 503(b)(9) Claim (the \"Procedures\") apply to all claims against the Debtor that arose prior to February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), which was the date that the Debtor commenced this Chapter 11 Case.\n\nUnder Bankruptcy Code section 101(5) and as used in this notice, the word \"claim\" means a right to (a) payment, whether such right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured; or (b) an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured, or unsecured.\n\n### **1. WHAT IS A 503(B)(9) CLAIM**\n\nThe Bankruptcy Code defines a 503(b)(9) Claim to be a claim arising from the value of goods received by a debtor within 20 days before the date of commencement of a case under title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in which the goods have been sold to the debtor in the ordinary course of such debtor's business. Such claims are entitled to administrative expense priority in accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 503(b)(9).\n\n<span id=\"page-35-0\"></span><sup>1</sup> Although the Debtor's legal name is Ho Wan Kwok, he is also known by the following names: Guo Wengui; Miles Guo; and Miles Kwok.\n\n# **2. WHAT TO FILE**\n\nA creditor may seek payment of a 503(b)(9) Claim only through either a written application or written motion filed with Bankruptcy Court.\n\n# **3. WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE**\n\nAny 503(b)(9) Claim must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and delivered by first-class mail, overnight delivery, or hand delivery to Debtor's counsel at the appropriate address below, so as to be received on or before **[ ], 2022 at 11:59 p.m. (ET):**\n\nIF BY FIRST-CLASS MAIL, OVERNIGHT DELIVERY OR HAND DELIVERY:\n\nBrown Rudnick LLP c/o Uriel Pinelo, Esq. Seven Times Square New York, NY 10036\n\n# **4. WHO DOES NOT NEED TO FILE A 503(B)(9) CLAIM**\n\nYou do not need to file a 503(b)(9) Claim on or before the 503(b)(9) Bar Date if you are:\n\n- a. a person or entity that has already filed a 503(b)(9) Claim against the Debtor;\n- b. a person whose 503(b)(9) Claim has been paid in full;\n- c. a holder of a 503(b)(9) Claim that has been allowed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court;\n- d. a holder of a 503(b)(9) Claim for which a separate deadline to assert such claim has been fixed by the Bankruptcy Court.\n\nThis notice may be sent to many persons that have had some relationship with or have done some business with the Debtor, but that may not have a 503(b)(9) Claim against the Debtor. The fact that you have received this notice does not mean that you have a 503(b)(9) Claim against the Debtor or that the Bankruptcy Court or the Debtor believe that you have an administrative expense claim against the Debtor.\n\n# **5. CONSEQUENCES OF THE FAILURE TO FILE A 503(B)(9) CLAIM BY THE 503(B)(9) BAR DATE**\n\nANY HOLDER OF A 503(B)(9) CLAIM THAT FAILS TO TIMELY FILE AN APPLICATION OR MOTION FOR THE ALLOWANCE OF A 503(B)(9) CLAIM IN THE APPROPRIATE FORM SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS A CREDITOR WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ALLEGED CLAIM FOR THE PURPOSES OF VOTING ON ANY PLAN OF REORGANIZATION FILED IN THIS CHAPTER 11 CASE AND FOR PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISTRIBUTION IN THE DEBTOR'S CHAPTER 11 CASE ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH ALLEGED CLAIM.\n\nA HOLDER OF A POTENTIAL CLAIM AGAINST THE DEBTOR SHOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY REGARDING ANY MATTERS NOT COVERED BY THIS NOTICE, SUCH AS WHETHER THE HOLDER OF SUCH A POTENTIAL CLAIM SHOULD FILE AN APPLICATION OR MOTION FOR THE ALLOWANCE OF A 503(B)(9) CLAIM.\n\nDated: April [ ], 2022\n\n### **BROWN RUDNICK LLP**\n\nBy: /s/ *DRAFT*\n\nBROWN RUDNICK LLP 185 Asylum Street Hartford, CT 06103 Attn: Dylan Kletter, Esq.

未在适用申报截止日期前提交债权申报书的后果\n\n任何未获豁免遵守截止日期命令要求的债权持有人，如上文第4节所完整列明，且未能及时以适当格式提交债权申报书，则就该等主张的债权而言，不得被视为债权人，以用于就本第11章案件中提交的任何重整计划进行表决，及就该等主张的债权参与债务人第11章案件中的任何分配。\n\n7.

有权享有优先权的无担保债权类别内的债权。此类债权在破产案件中，应于其他无担保债权获得偿付之前，从可用资金或财产中获得偿付。常见的优先无担保债权包括赡养费、子女抚养费、税款及某些未付工资。\n\n请勿将本说明随本表格一并提交。\n\n债权申报书：显示债务人在申请破产之日对债权人所欠债务金额的表格。该表格必须在案件待决地区提交。\n\n信息隐去：为保护隐私而遮蔽、编辑删除或删除某些信息。提交人必须在债权申报书表格及任何所附文件中隐去或省略有权享有隐私保护的信息。\n\n根据 11 U.S.C. §506(a) 的有担保债权：由债务人特定财产上的留置权支持的债权。在其他债权人获得偿付之前，债权人有权从该财产中获得偿付的范围内，该债权属于有担保债权。有担保债权的金额通常不得超过债权人享有留置权的特定财产的价值。债务人对债权人所欠超过该财产价值的任何金额，通常可构成无担保债权。但存在例外；例如，见 11 U.S.C. § 1322(b) 及 1325(a) 的最后一句。\n\n财产留置权的示例包括不动产抵押权或汽车担保权益。留置权可由债务人自愿授予，或可通过法院程序取得。在某些州，法院判决可构成留置权。\n\n抵销：指债权人以其持有的属于债务人的资金自行受偿，或通过注销其对债务人所负债务而发生的情形。\n\n统一债权识别码：某些债权人为便利电子付款而使用的可选24字符识别码。\n\n无担保债权：不符合有担保债权要求的债权。在债权金额超过债权人享有留置权的财产价值的范围内，债权可部分属于无担保债权。\n\n购买债权的要约\n\n某些实体以低于债权面值的金额购买债权。这些实体可能会联系债权人，提出购买其债权。一些来自这些实体的书面通信可能很容易被误认为是法院的正式文件或债务人的通信。这些实体并不代表破产法院、破产受托人或债务人。债权人没有义务出售其债权。但是，如果债权人决定出售其债权，该债权的任何转让均须遵守《破产规则》3001(e)、适用的《破产法典》（11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.）条款以及适用的破产法院命令。\n\n填写以下信息以识别本案：\n\n债务人：　案件编号：\nHo Wan Kwok（郭文贵）　22-50073\n\nUnited States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格州联邦破产法院）\n官方表格 410\n债权证明

the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格州联邦破产法院）（以下简称“破产法院”）已作出一项命令（以下简称“截止日期命令”），确定 [ ], 2022 at 11:59 p.m. (ET)（以下简称“503(b)(9) 截止日期”）为每名人士就本案标题所示第 11 章案件（以下简称“第 11 章案件”）中，根据 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(9) 对债务人及占有中的债务人（以下简称“债务人”）提出的债权所产生的行政费用债权（以下简称“503(b)(9) 债权”）提交申请的最后日期和时间。\n\n503(b)(9) 截止日期以及下文规定的提交 503(b)(9) 债权的程序（以下简称“程序”）适用于在 February 15, 2022（以下简称“申请日”）之前产生的所有针对债务人的债权；该日为债务人启动本第 11 章案件之日。\n\n根据《破产法典》第 101(5) 条及本通知中的用法，“债权”一词是指：(a) 获得付款的权利，无论该权利是否已化为判决、已清算、未清算、确定、或有、已到期、未到期、有争议、无争议、法定、衡平、有担保或无担保；或 (b) 因履行义务违约而产生的衡平救济，如该违约产生获得付款的权利，无论该衡平救济权利是否已化为判决、确定、或有、已到期、未到期、有争议、无争议、有担保或无担保。\n\n1. 什么是 503(B)(9) 债权\n\n《破产法典》将 503(b)(9) 债权定义为：在根据美国《破产法典》第 11 编启动案件之日前 20 日内，债务人在其正常营业过程中购买并收到的货物价值所产生的债权。该等债权依《破产法典》第 503(b)(9) 条享有行政费用优先权。\n\n1 尽管债务人的法定姓名为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵），其亦以如下姓名为人所知：Guo Wengui（郭文贵）；Miles Guo（郭文贵）；以及 Miles Kwok（郭文贵）。\n\n2. 应提交什么\n\n债权人仅可通过向破产法院提交书面申请或书面动议，请求支付 503(b)(9) 债权。\n\n3. 何时及何处提交\n\n任何
