The bases for the relief requested herein are sections 328, 330, 331 and 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 2016 and Local Bankruptcy Rule 2016-1.\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 Chapter 11 Case. No examiner has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases.\n\n6. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Docket No. 465] (the \"Trustee Order\") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case of Ho Wan Kwok. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case of Ho Wan Kwok.\n\n7. By order entered January 5, 2023, the Court authorized Epiq's retention as claims and noticing agent in these chapter 11 cases [Docket No. 1298] (the \"Retention Order\"). The Retention Order authorizes Epiq to be compensated on an hourly basis and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to sections 328 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and such orders as the Court may direct.\n\n#### **II. Genever (BVI)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n8. On October 11, 2022, Genever (BVI) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with this Court.\n\n9. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case.\n\n10. On 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\n11. On November 17, 2022, the Court granted the Trustee's application to retain Epiq as the claims and noting agent in the Genever (BVI) chapter 11 case, effective as of December 1, 2022, [Docket No. 1298].\n\n### **III. Genever (US)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n12. On October 12, 2020, Genever (US) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the \"SDNY Bankruptcy Court\"), thereby commencing case number 20-12411 (JLG) (the \"SDNY Bankruptcy Case\").\n\n13. On November 3, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592] transferring the venue of the SDNY Bankruptcy Case to this Court, which assigned it Case Number 22-50592. On November 21, 2022, the Court entered an\n\norder granting joint administration of the Genever (US) Debtor's chapter 11 case with the jointly administered cases of the Individual Debtor and the Genever (BVI) Debtor's chapter 11 case [Docket No. 1141].\n\n14. On January 5, 2023, the Court granted the Trustee's application to retain Epiq as claims and noticing agent in the Genever (US) chapter 11 case, effective as of December 1, 2022 [Docket No. 1298].\n\n### **IV. Bar Date Motion**\n\n15. On November 16, 2022, the Court held a hearing (the \"Hearing\") on 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\"). 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\n16. On December 2, 2022, the Trustee 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. On January 5, 2023, the court entered an order [Docket No. 1297] (the \"Bar Date Order\") setting the deadlines for filing proofs of claim and authorizing Epiq to redact names, contacts and other confidential information from proofs of claim.\n\n### **Summary of Professional Services**\n\n17.

The services provided in this category include general organization, general case management oversight, and customer account oversight.\n\n## **Reasonable and Necessary Services Rendered by Epiq**\n\n26. The foregoing professional services rendered by Epiq on behalf of the Debtors during the Compensation Period were reasonable, necessary and appropriate to the administration of the Debtors' bankruptcy cases and related matters.\n\n27. Epiq is one of the country's leading Chapter 11 administrators, with experience in noticing, claims administration, solicitation, balloting and facilitating other administrative aspects of bankruptcy cases. As a specialist in claims management, consulting and legal administration services, Epiq provides comprehensive solutions to a wide variety of administrative issues for bankruptcy cases, and has substantial experience in matters of this size and complexity. Overall, Epiq brings to these Chapter 11 cases a particularly high level of skill and knowledge, which inured to the benefit of the Debtors and all stakeholders.\n\n28. During the Compensation Period, Epiq consulted and assisted with various items related to the mailing of bar date materials, processed confidential claim forms and reviewed such forms to redact confidential information as required by the bar date order entered in these chapter 11 cases. To this end, as set forth in detail in **Exhibit C** of the Application, numerous Epiq professionals expended time rendering services on behalf of the Debtors and their estates.\n\n29. During the Compensation Period, Epiq's hourly billing rates for the professionals responsible for managing these Chapter 11 cases ranged from \\$75.00 to \\$195.00. Allowance of compensation in the amount requested would result in a blended hourly billing rate for professionals of approximately \\$147.27 (based on 1,210.20 recorded hours at Epiq's regular billing rates in effect at the time of the performance of services). The hourly rates and corresponding rate structure utilized by Epiq in these cases are generally equivalent to the hourly rates and corresponding rate structure predominantly used by Epiq for comparable matters, whether in Chapter 11 or otherwise, regardless of whether a fee application is required.\n\n#### **Epiq's Requested Compensation and Reimbursement Should be Allowed**\n\n30. Section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for interim compensation of professionals and incorporates the substantive standards of section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code to govern the Court's award of such compensation. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a court may award a professional employed under section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code \"reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered . . . and reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses.\" Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code also sets forth the criteria for the award of such compensation and reimbursement:\n\n31. In determining the amount of reasonable compensation to be awarded, the court should consider the nature, extent, and the value of such services, taking into account all relevant factors, including:\n\n- 1. the time spent on such services;\n- 2. the rates charged for such services;\n- 3. whether the services were necessary to the administration of, or beneficial at the time at which the service was rendered toward the completion of, a case under this title;\n- 4. whether the services were performed within a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed; and\n- 5. whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under this title.\n\n11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3).\n\n32. In the instant case, Epiq respectfully submits that the services for which it seeks compensation in the Application were necessary for and beneficial to the Debtors and their estates and were rendered to protect and preserve the Debtors' estates. Epiq respectfully submits that the services rendered were performed economically, effectively and efficiently and that the results obtained to date have benefited all stakeholders in the cases. In addition, pursuant to the terms of Epiq's retention, Epiq agreed to receive payment in these cases only in the event that funds were recovered by the Trustee for the estate. Upon recovery of the funds Epiq agreed to receive payment of all accrued fees and costs at the time assets are converted to funds on a pari passu basis with other retained professionals in the chapter 11 cases. Epiq further submits that the compensation requested herein is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and value of such services to the Debtors, their estates and all parties in interest.\n\n33. Epiq's professionals spent a total of 1,210.20 hours during the Compensation Period, which services have a fair market value of \\$178,227.00. As demonstrated by the Application and all of the exhibits submitted in support hereof, Epiq spent its time economically and without unnecessary duplication. In addition, the work conducted was carefully assigned to appropriate professionals according to the experience and level of expertise required for each particular task. In summary, the services rendered by Epiq were necessary and beneficial to the Debtors and their estates, and were consistently performed in a timely manner commensurate with the complexity, importance, novelty and nature of the issues involved.\n\n34. Accordingly, Epiq respectfully submits that approval of the compensation and expense reimbursement sought herein is warranted.\n\n### **No Prior Request**\n\n35. No prior application for the relief requested herein has been made to this or any other court.\n\nWHEREFORE, Epiq requests that it be allowed reimbursement for its fees and expenses incurred during the Compensation Period in the total amount of \\$189,900.79 consisting of (a) \\$178,227.00 for reasonable and necessary professional services rendered by Epiq and (b) \\$11,673.79 for actual and necessary costs and expenses, and that such fees and expenses be paid as administrative expenses of the Debtors' estates.\n\nDated: June 21, 2023 */s/Kate Mailloux*\n\nKate Mailloux Senior Consulting Director Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC\n\n## **UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION**\n\n) ) ) ) ) ) ) )\n\nIn re:\n\nHO WAN KWOK, et al.,\n\nDebtors. <sup>1</sup>\n\nChapter 11\n\nCase No. 22-50073 (JAM)\n\n(Jointly Administered)\n\n## **CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE**\n\nThe undersigned hereby certifies that on June 21, 2023, the foregoing Application was electronically filed.

March 21, 2022，United States Trustee（美国受托人）在该第11章案件中指定了 Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors（无担保债权人正式委员会，以下简称“Committee（委员会）”）。第11章案件中尚未指定审查员。\n\n6. June 15, 2022，本院作出一份决定备忘录及命令 [Docket No. 465]（以下简称“Trustee Order（受托人命令）”），指示 United States Trustee 在 Ho Wan Kwok 的第11章案件中指定一名第11章受托人。根据该受托人命令，United States Trustee 选定 Luc A.

October 14, 2022，本院作出命令，批准对个人债务人的第11章案件与 Genever (BVI) 的第11章案件进行合并管理 [Docket No. 970]。\n\n11. 2022年11月17日，本院批准了受托人聘用Epiq（埃皮克）作为Genever (BVI)（Genever（英属维尔京群岛））第11章案件中债权申报及通知代理人的申请，自2022年12月1日起生效，[Docket No. 1298]。\n\nIII. Genever (US)（Genever（美国））的第11章案件\n\n12. 2020年10月12日，Genever (US)根据《美国法典》第11编第11章，向United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区破产法院）（以下简称“SDNY Bankruptcy Court”）提出自愿救济申请，由此启动案号为20-12411 (JLG)（以下简称“SDNY Bankruptcy Case”）的案件。\n\n13. 2022年11月3日，SDNY Bankruptcy Court作出命令[Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592]，将SDNY Bankruptcy Case的审理地点移送至本院，本院将其编号为Case Number 22-50592。2022年11月21日，本院作出命令，批准将Genever (US)债务人的第11章案件与个人债务人及Genever (BVI)债务人的合并管理第11章案件合并管理[Docket No. 1141]。\n\n14. 2023年1月5日，本院批准了受托人聘用Epiq作为Genever (US)第11章案件中债权申报及通知代理人的申请，自2022年12月1日起生效[Docket No. 1298]。\n\nIV. 债权申报截止日动议\n\n15. 2022年11月16日，本院就第11章受托人、Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever Holdings股份公司）及Genever Holdings LLC（Genever Holdings有限责任公司）提出的补充动议举行听证会（以下简称“听证会”）。该补充动议请求作出命令：(I) 设定提交债权申报表的截止日期；(II) 批准债权申报截止日通知的格式；以及(III) 准予相关救济[Docket No. 1072]（以下简称“补充债权申报截止日动议”）。在就补充债权申报截止日动议举行的听证会结束时，本院批准了该补充债权申报截止日动议，但作出了受托人在听证会上记录在案讨论的若干修改。\n\n16. 2022年12月2日，受托人提交了补充债权申报截止日动议的附录[Docket No. 1191]（以下简称“附录”），其中请求本院批准程序，以允许个人债权人在不公开披露其姓名及联系信息的情况下以保密方式提交债权申报表等。2023年1月5日，本院作出命令[Docket No. 1297]（以下简称“债权申报截止日命令”），设定提交债权申报表的期限，并授权Epiq从债权申报表中删节姓名、联系方式及其他保密信息。\n\n专业服务摘要\n\n17. 根据并遵循适用的当地破产规则（以下简称“指引”）的相关要求，现随附下列附件：\n\na. 附件A载有下列签署人就遵守指引所作的证明（以下简称“证明”）；\n\nb. 附件B载有Epiq的项目类别清单，以及在报酬期间向各类别开具的账单总额；\n\nc. 附件C载有报酬期间的账单摘要，包括就其工作请求报酬的每名专业人员的姓名、每名专业人员投入的累计时间、按照Epiq现行计费标准相应适用的小时计费费率，以及作为本申请一部分所请求的个人金额说明；\n\nd. 附件D载有报酬期间的工时明细；\n\ne. 附件E由Epiq在报酬期间为债务人及其财产提供专业服务所发生费用的记录构成；以及\n\nf. 附件F载有请求批准本申请的拟议命令。\n\n18. 为就Epiq在报酬期间代表债务人及其财产提供的服务作出有意义的摘要，Epiq根据其内部计费程序，就本案设立了下列事项编号：\n\n事项编号　事项说明\n\n130　债权人来电／请求\n\n195　债权申报－其他\n\n205　设置邮寄／通知\n\n220　宣誓书\n\n230　网站发布\n\n395　案件管理服务\n\n19. 以下为Epiq作为债权申报及通知代理人在报酬期间提供的最重要专业服务按事项分类的摘要。该摘要按照Epiq的内部事项编号系统编排。2\n\n2 本服务摘要无意对Epiq在报酬期间完成的工作作出详细或穷尽性的说明，而是旨在突出Epiq在报酬期间为债务人提供服务的若干关键领域。按项目代码分类的已完成工作摘要说明，以及该等日常服务和提供该等服务所投入的时间，载于随附附件中。\n\nA. 债权人来电／请求（事项编号130）\n\n费用总额：\\$1,447.00　总工时：9.00\n\n20. 本类别包括与同债权人通信有关的一切事项，包括就与债权人和委员会相关的案件关键信息及更新进行的电子邮件和电话沟通。\n\nB. 债权申报－其他（事项编号195）\n\n费用总额：\\$120,261.50\n\n总工时：863.00\n\n21. 本类别的时间用于处理债权申报表，并按照本案提交的债权申报截止日命令的要求对该等表格进行删节（在作出授权Epiq从保密债权申报表中排除所有附件的命令之前）。3 该等工作包括人工审查保密债权申报表及所有附件，以删节姓名、地址、电子邮件、电话号码，以及账户号码和电汇详情等细节。\n\n3 鉴于法院于2023年2月28日作出的授权Epiq从保密债权申报表中排除附件的命令[ECF No. 1486]，此后未再花费时间对债权申报表进行删节。\n\nC. 设置邮寄／通知（事项编号205）\n\n费用总额：\\$39,839.50\n\n总工时：241.60\n\n22. 本类别提供的服务包括：(i) 与律师确认向超过1,000名债权人送达债权申报截止日邮寄材料；(ii) 整理与此相关的清单和矩阵数据；(iii) 编制电子邮件群发文件；以及(iv) 对向本第11章案件债权人群体邮寄文件进行总体组织和监督。\n\nD. 宣誓书（事项编号220）\n\n费用总额：\\$4,492.00\n\n总工时：27.40\n\n23. 本类别提供的服务包括记录送达情况，例如向特定当事人送达的日期、其收到的文件以及送达方式。\n\nE. 网站发布／通知（事项编号230）\n\n费用总额：\\$8,066.50\n\n总工时：46.50\n\n24. 本类别提供的服务包括：(i) 准备网站以发布与债权人相关的有关信息；(ii) 协调网站和案卷的更新；以及(iii) 审核网站更新。\n\nF. 案件管理服务（事项编号395）\n\n费用总额：\\$4,120.00\n\n总工时：22.70\n\n25. 本类别提供的服务包括总体组织、总体案件管理监督及客户账户监督。\n\nEpiq提供的合理且必要服务\n\n26. Epiq在报酬期间代表债务人提供的上述专业服务，对于管理债务人的破产案件及相关事项而言是合理、必要且适当的。\n\n27. Epiq是全国领先的第11章案件管理机构之一，在通知、债权管理、征求、表决及协助破产案件的其他行政管理方面具有经验。作为债权管理、咨询及法律行政服务的专家，Epiq为破产案件的多种行政管理问题提供综合解决方案，并在此等规模和复杂程度的事项中拥有丰富经验。总体而言，Epiq为本第11章案件带来了特别高水平的技能和知识，使债务人及所有利益相关方受益。\n\n28. 在报酬期间，Epiq就与寄送债权申报截止日材料有关的各种事项进行咨询并提供协助，处理保密债权申报表，并审查该等表格，以按照本第11章案件中作出的债权申报截止日命令要求删节保密信息。为此，如申请书附件C中所详述，众多Epiq专业人员投入时间，代表债务人及其财产提供服务。\n\n29. 在报酬期间，负责管理本第11章案件的Epiq专业人员的小时计费费率介于\\$75.00至\\$195.00之间。准许支付所请求金额的报酬，将导致专业人员的混合小时计费费率约为\\$147.27（基于在提供服务时有效的Epiq常规计费标准下记录的1,210.20小时）。Epiq在本案采用的小时费率及相应费率结构，通常等同于Epiq主要就可比事项所采用的小时费率及相应费率结构，无论该等事项是否属于第11章案件，也无论是否需要提出费用申请。\n\n应准许Epiq请求的报酬及费用偿还\n\n30. 《破产法》第331条规定了对专业人员的临时报酬，并纳入《破产法》第330条的实体标准，以规范本院对该等报酬的裁定。《破产法》第330条规定，法院可向根据《破产法》第327条聘用的专业人员裁定“对实际提供的必要服务给予合理报酬……并偿还实际发生的必要费用。”《破产法》第330条还规定了裁定该等报酬及费用偿还的标准：\n\n31. 在确定应裁定的合理报酬金额时，法院应考虑该等服务的性质、范围和价值，并考虑所有相关因素，包括：\n\n1. 为该等服务所花费的时间；\n\n2. 就该等服务收取的费率；\n\n3. 该等服务对于本编项下案件的管理是否必要，或者在提供服务时是否有助于完成该案件；\n\n4. 该等服务是否在与所处理问题、争议或任务的复杂性、重要性和性质相称的合理时间内完成；以及\n\n5. 根据具备可比技能的执业人员在本编项下案件以外案件中通常收取的报酬，该报酬是否合理。\n\n11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3).\n\n32. 在本案中，Epiq谨陈，其在申请书中请求报酬的服务对于债务人及其财产是必要且有益的，并且旨在保护和保全债务人的财产而提供。Epiq谨陈，所提供的服务以经济、有效和高效的方式完成，且迄今取得的结果已使本案所有利益相关方受益。此外，根据聘用Epiq的条款，Epiq同意仅在受托人为财产追回资金的情况下在本案中收取付款。在追回资金后，Epiq同意在资产转换为资金时，与第11章案件中其他受聘专业人员按同等比例收取所有累计费用和成本。Epiq进一步谨陈，鉴于该等服务对债务人、其财产及所有利害关系方的性质、范围和价值，本申请所请求的报酬是合理的。\n\n33. 在补偿期间，Epiq（Epiq企业重组有限责任公司）的专业人员共投入1,210.20小时，其服务的公平市场价值为$178,227.00。如本申请及为支持本申请而提交的所有证据附件所示，Epiq以经济高效的方式投入时间，且未产生不必要的重复工作。此外，所开展的工作已根据各项具体任务所需的经验和专业知识水平，审慎分配给适当的专业人员。总而言之，Epiq提供的服务对于债务人及其财产是必要且有益的，并且始终以与所涉问题的复杂性、重要性、新颖性及性质相称的及时方式完成。\n\n34. 因此，Epiq谨提交称，有充分理由批准本申请所请求的报酬及费用补偿。\n\n无先前请求\n\n35. 此前未曾就本申请所请求的救济向本院或任何其他法院提出申请。\n\n因此，Epiq请求准予其就补偿期间产生的费用及开支获得总额为$189,900.79的补偿，其中包括：(a) Epiq提供的合理且必要的专业服务费用$178,227.00；及(b) 实际且必要的成本和开支$11,673.79；并将该等费用和开支作为债务人财产的行政费用支付。\n\n日期：June 21, 2023 /s/ Kate Mailloux（凯特·梅卢）\n\nKate Mailloux 高级咨询总监 Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC\nUNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION（美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院布里奇波特分院）\n\n) ) ) ) ) ) ) )\n\n关于：\n\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）等，\n\n债务人。1\n\n第11章\n\n案号 22-50073 (JAM)\n\n（合并管理）\n送达证明\n\n下列签署人特此证明：于June 21, 2023，前述申请已通过电子方式提交。根据法院电子提交（“CM/ECF”）系统的运行，或按照电子提交通知中所示以邮件方式向无法接受电子提交的任何人士，已将本次提交的通知通过电子邮件发送给上述标题第11章案件的所有当事人。2 此外，在前述送达未涵盖的范围内，申请副本已送达给债务人第11章案件中的二十（20）名最大债权人。当事人可通过法院的CM/ECF系统查阅本次提交文件。\n\n[本页其余部分特意留白。]\n\n1 本第11章案件中的债务人为Ho Wan Kwok（亦称Guo Wengui、Miles Guo及Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（Genever控股有限责任公司）（税务识别号后四位：8202）及Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever控股公司）。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC及Genever Holdings Corporation的邮寄地址为：Paul Hastings LLP（博衡律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，转交Luc A.
