In support of this Motion, the Trustee respectfully represents 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. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\n\n2. Venue in the District of Connecticut is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n3. The bases for the relief requested herein are section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules 2002(a) and 2002(i) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy Rules\").\n\n### **BACKGROUND**\n\n## **I. Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case**\n\n4. On February 15, 2022, 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 (the \"Committee\") in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case.\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\n\n<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the DIP Motion.\n\nin the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee [Docket No. 514].\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 [Docket No. 523].\n\n### **II. Genever US's Chapter 11 Case**\n\n8. 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\"). No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever US's chapter 11 case.\n\n9. By order dated November 3, 2022, the New York Bankruptcy Court transferred venue of Genever US's chapter 11 case to this Court.\n\n### **III. Genever BVI's Chapter 11 Case**\n\n10. On October 11, 2022, Genever BVI filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in this Court. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever BVI's chapter 11 case.\n\n11. On November 21, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case, Genever BVI's chapter 11 case, and Genever US's chapter 11 case [Docket No. 1141].\n\n#### **IV. DIP Motion**\n\n12. Concurrently herewith, Genever US, Genever BVI and the Trustee filed the DIP Motion, seeking entry of the DIP Order: (i) authorizing the DIP Lender, acting through its representative, the Trustee, to extend up to \\$2,000,000 of postpetition financing to Genever US and Genever BVI (the \"DIP Borrowers\"); (ii) authorizing the DIP Borrowers to enter into the\n\nDIP Facility; (iii) granting the DIP Lender allowed superpriority administrative expense claims pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) granting the DIP Lender valid, fully perfected and enforceable non-priming security interests and liens pursuant to section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (v) modifying the automatic stay.\n\n### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n13. By this Motion, the Trustee3 seeks to limit service of the DIP Motion to (i) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut; (ii) counsel for the Individual Debtor; (iii) the Committee; (iv) AIG, (v) all parties who have requested notice in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002; (vi) all parties who receive notice in these chapter 11 cases by electronic filing utilizing the Court's electronic filing (\"CM/ECF\") system to all appearing parties who utilize the CM/ECF system; and (vii) any party who requested notice in these chapter 11 cases, but is unable to accept electronic filing as indicated on the Notice of Electronic Filing (collectively, the \"Notice Parties\").\n\n14. Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code authorizes a court to \"issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of [the Bankruptcy Code],\" thereby codifying the bankruptcy court's inherent equitable powers.\n\n15. Because it would be a use of property of the estate, the Trustee's request to enter into the DIP Credit Agreement is governed by section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(2), notice of a proposed use, sale, or lease of property of the estate other\n\n<sup>3</sup> Even though the DIP Motion was brought jointly by the Trustee with Genever US and Genever BVI, the Trustee is the only movant in this Motion. Bankruptcy Rule 4001(c)(1)(C) says that a motion for postpetition financing must be served on an official committee or, if no committee has been appointed, \"on the creditors included on the list filed under Rule 1007(d) (the so-called \"Top 20 List\"). Because the DIP Borrowers will serve the DIP Motion on their 20 largest creditors, the relief requested herein is not applicable to them.\n\nthan in the ordinary course of business must be given by mail and must be served on (among others) \"all creditors.\"\n\n16. As of today, approximately 1,300 claims have been filed in these chapter 11 cases—the overwhelming majority of which were filed by individuals located in foreign jurisdictions and many of whom have elected confidential treatment of their claims (in accordance with the bar date order). The Trustee submits that it would be unduly burdensome for the estates to serve the DIP Motion on 1,300 parties. Doing so would consume resources that these estates do not have, nor would it serve the interests of the creditors of these estates. In fact, it is very unlikely that individual creditors would have any interest in reviewing the DIP Motion—especially given that (a) several creditors are already active (and have filed notices of appearances) in these Chapter 11 Cases; (b) an official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case; and (c) the transaction contemplated under the DIP Motion is strictly between the debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases and no third parties are concerned.\n\n17. Finally, this relief is consistent with Bankruptcy Rule 2002 itself, which expressly contemplates that the bankruptcy court may, if it deems appropriate, limit the service that would otherwise be required. Bankruptcy Rule 2002(i) provides that \"the court may order that notices required by subdivision (a)(2)\" need only be provided \"to the [official committee of unsecured creditors] or their authorized agents and to the creditors and equity security holders who serve on the trustee or debtor in possession and file a request that all notices be mailed to them.\"\n\n18. For the foregoing reasons, the Trustee submits that the relief sought in this Motion is appropriate and is in the best interests of the Individual Debtor's estate, its creditors, and other\n\nparties-in-interest, and requests that the Court authorize service of the DIP Motion upon the Notice Parties only.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Trustee requests that the Court enter an order\n\ngranting the relief requested in this Motion and such other relief as is just and proper.\n\nDated: August 23, 2023 New York, New York\n\nBy: */s/ Douglass Barron*\n\nLuc A.

Despins 收（仅用于接收通知和联络之目的）。\n\n行政费用求偿权，(IV) 变更自动中止，以及 (V) 给予相关救济的联合动议》（下称“DIP 动议”）2。为支持本动议，受托人谨陈述如下：\n管辖权、审理地及法定依据\n\n1. 根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 和 1334 以及 United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区联邦地区法院）的常规移送命令，United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区破产法院，下称“本法院”）对本事项拥有管辖权。根据 28 U.S.C. § 157(b) 的定义，本事项属于核心程序。\n\n2. 根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 和 1409，康涅狄格区的审理地是适当的。\n\n3. 本文所请求救济的依据为《破产法典》第 105(a) 条以及《联邦破产诉讼程序规则》（下称“《破产规则》”）第 2002(a) 条和第 2002(i) 条。\n背景\nI. 个人债务人的第 11 章案件\n\n4. 2022年2月15日，个人债务人向本法院提交了依据《破产法典》第 11 章寻求救济的自愿破产申请。\n\n5. 2022年3月21日，美国受托人（United States Trustee）在个人债务人的第 11 章案件中任命了无担保债权人官方委员会（下称“委员会”）。\n\n6. 2022年6月15日，本法院作出一项判决备忘录与命令 [案卷号 465]（下称“受托人命令”），指示美国受托人任命一名第 11 章受托人\n\n2 本文中已使用但未作其他定义的具有首字母大写的术语，具有 DIP 动议中所规定的含义。\n\n负责个人债务人的第 11 章案件。根据受托人命令，美国受托人选定 Luc A. Despins 担任受托人 [案卷号 514]。\n\n7. 2022年7月8日，本法院作出命令，批准任命 Luc A. Despins 为本第 11 章案件的受托人 [案卷号 523]。\nII. Genever US 的第 11 章案件\n\n8. 2020年10月12日，Genever US 在 United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区破产法院，下称“纽约破产法院”）提交了其第 11 章申请。在 Genever US 的第 11 章案件中尚未任命受托人或无担保债权人官方委员会。\n\n9. 依据日期为 2022年11月3日的命令，纽约破产法院将 Genever US 的第 11 章案件的审理地移转至本法院。\nIII. Genever BVI 的第 11 章案件\n\n10. 2022年10月11日，Genever BVI 向本法院提交了依据《破产法典》第 11 章寻求救济的自愿申请。在 Genever BVI 的第 11 章案件中尚未任命受托人或无担保债权人官方委员会。\n\n11. 2022年11月21日，本法院作出命令，准予合并审理个人债务人的第 11 章案件、Genever BVI 的第 11 章案件以及 Genever US 的第 11 章案件 [案卷号 1141]。\nIV. DIP 动议\n\n12. 与本动议同时，Genever US、Genever BVI 与受托人提交了 DIP 动议，请求作出 DIP 命令以：(i) 授权 DIP 贷款人通过其代表（即受托人）向 Genever US 和 Genever BVI（下称“DIP 借款人”）提供最高达 $2,000,000 的申请后融资；(ii) 授权 DIP 借款人订立\n\nDIP 融资协议；(iii) 根据《破产法典》第 364(c)(1) 条授予 DIP 贷款人获认可的超级优先行政费用求偿权；(iv) 根据《破产法典》第 364(c)(2) 条授予 DIP 贷款人有效、已完全完善且可强制执行的非优先担保物权和留置权；以及 (v) 变更自动中止。\n请求的救济\n\n13. 通过本动议，受托人3请求将 DIP 动议的送达范围限制为：(i) 美国康涅狄格区受托人办公室；(ii) 个人债务人的律师；(iii) 委员会；(iv) AIG；(v) 所有已根据《破产规则》第 2002 条在本第 11 章案件中请求接收通知的各方；(vi) 所有在这些第 11 章案件中通过利用本法院的电子立案（“CM/ECF”）系统进行电子立案接收通知的所有利用 CM/ECF 系统的出庭各方；以及 (vii) 在这些第 11 章案件中请求接收通知但在电子立案通知书上标明无法接受电子立案的任何一方（统称“通知方”）。\n\n14. 《破产法典》第 105(a) 条授权法院“发布为执行［《破产法典》］各项规定所必要或适当的任何命令、程序或判决”，从而将破产法院固有的衡平权力明文化。\n\n15. 由于订立 DIP 信用协议属于对破产财产的使用，受托人订立该协议的请求受《破产法典》第 363 条管辖。根据《破产规则》第 2002(a)(2) 条，非在通常业务过程中提议使用、出售或出租破产财产的通知必须通过邮寄方式送达，并且必须送达给（除其他主体外）“所有债权人”。\n\n3 尽管 DIP 动议是由受托人与 Genever US 及 Genever BVI 联合提出的，但受托人是本动议的唯一动议人。《破产规则》第 4001(c)(1)(C) 条规定，申请后融资的动议必须送达官方委员会，或者在尚未任命委员会的情况下，“送达依据第 1007(d) 条提交的名单所列债权人（即所谓的‘前 20 大名单’）”。由于 DIP 借款人将向其前 20 大债权人送达 DIP 动议，因此本文所请求的救济不适用于他们。\n\n16. 截至今日，在这些第 11 章案件中已提交了大约 1,300 项求偿申报——其中绝大多数是由位于外国司法管辖区的个人提交的，且其中许多人已选择对其求偿申报进行保密处理（根据申报截止日命令）。受托人认为，要求破产财产向 1,300 个主体送达 DIP 动议将构成过重负担。这样做将消耗这些破产财产所不具备的资源，也不符合这些破产财产债权人的利益。事实上，个人债权人极不可能有兴趣审阅 DIP 动议——特别是考虑到：(a) 若干债权人已经在这些第 11 章案件中非常活跃（并已提交出庭通知）；(b) 个人债务人的第 11 章案件中已任命了无担保债权人官方委员会；以及 (c) DIP 动议项下拟进行的交易严格发生在第 11 章案件的债务人之间，不涉及任何第三方。\n\n17. 最后，该项救济与《破产规则》第 2002 条本身是一致的，该条明确规定，如果破产法院认为适宜，可以限制原本要求的送达范围。《破产规则》第 2002(i) 条规定，“法院可以裁定第 (a)(2) 款所要求的通知”只需提供给“［无担保债权人官方委员会］或其授权代理人，以及向受托人或占有中债务人送达并提交请求将所有通知邮寄给本人的债权人和权益证券持有人”。\n\n18. 基于上述理由，受托人认为本动议所寻求的救济是适当的，符合个人债务人破产财产、其债权人及其他利害关系方的最大利益，并请求本法院授权仅向通知方送达 DIP 动议。\n\n［本页其余部分有意留白。］\n\n据此，基于上述理由，受托人请求本法院作出命令，准予本动议所请求的救济以及公正和适当的其他救济。\n\n日期：2023年8月23日 纽约州纽约市\n\n签署人：/s/ Douglass Barron\n\nLuc A.
