In support of this Motion, the Trustee respectfully states as follows:\n\n### **JURISDICTION AND VENUE**\n\n1. 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 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 bases for the relief sought by this Motion are section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Rules 2002(a), 2002(i) and 9006(c)(1) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy Rules\"), and Local Rule 6004-2(g).\n\n#### **BACKGROUND**\n\n4. On November 27, 2023, the Trustee filed the Lady May II Sale Motion, pursuant to which the Trustee seeks to sell the Lady May the Buyer free and clear of liens of liens, claims, interests and encumbrances (the \"Sale\"), pursuant to sections 363(b) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code in accordance with that certain PSA.\n\n5. Also on November 27, 2023, the Trustee served copies of the *entire* Lady May II Sale Motion on (i) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut, (ii) the Buyer, (iii) counsel for the Debtor, (iv) the Committee, (v) all entities and individuals that have expressed to Edmiston, the broker for the Lady May, an interest in purchasing the Lady May,\n\nand (vi) all parties who have requested notice in the Debtor's case pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 (the \"Notice Parties\").3\n\n### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n6. By this Motion, the Trustee requests entry of the Proposed Order (a) confirming that the Trustee is only required to serve the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice, but not the entire Lady May II Sale Motion, on the creditor matrix maintained in these chapter 11 cases (the \"Creditor Matrix\") and (b) scheduling an expedited hearing to consider and determine the Lady May II Sale Motion for the week of December 18, 2023.\n\n#### **BASIS FOR RELIEF**\n\n7. Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a) generally requires that a minimum of twenty-one (21) days' notice of the proposed sale of property outside the ordinary course of business be provided by mail to \"the debtor, the trustee, all creditors and indenture trustees\" and any committee appointed under section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code. *See* Bankruptcy Rules 2002(a)(2), 2002(i). Additionally, Local Rule 6004-2(g) requires sale motions \"be served by the Movant on all parties indicating interest in the purchase of the property.\"\n\n### **I. Service of Hearing Notice and Sale Notice Only**\n\n8. The Trustee requests that he only be required to serve the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice, but not the entire Lady May II Sale Motion, on the Creditor Matrix. The Sale Notice contains a summary description of the property to be sold (*i.e.*, the Lady May II) as well as the key terms of the PSA. Furthermore, the Sale Notice also states, on the first page, and in **bold and all-caps** that the Lady May II Sale Motion can be viewed, free of charge, at\n\n<sup>3</sup> Service of the Lady May II Sale Motion was effectuated electronically through the Court's electronic filing (\"CM/ECF\") system or by mail to anyone unable to accept electronic filing as indicated on the notice of electronic filing.\n\nhttp *i.e.*, the website maintained by Epiq in these chapter 11 cases. In addition, the Trustee anticipates that the Court's forthcoming Hearing Notice will contain, among other things, the hearing date for the Lady May II Sale Motion and the related objection deadline.\n\n9. The Trustee respectfully submits that the foregoing service complies with the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules, as it provides notice of the proposed Sale to all interested parties, including all parties on the Creditor Matrix. In particular, the Trustee believes that service of the entire Lady May II Sale Motion on the Creditor Matrix is both unnecessary and unduly expensive. It is unnecessary because, all creditors are on notice of the proposed Sale through the Hearing Notice and Sale Notice, which describes the key terms of the proposed Sale as well as the objection deadline and the hearing date(s). Moreover, the Sale Notice directs the reader to Epiq's website where a copy of the entire Lady May II Sale Motion can be viewed, free of charge. Thus, there is no prejudice to the parties on the Creditor Matrix from not serving them with a hard copy of the Lady May II Sale Motion.\n\n10. Nor would service of the entire Lady May II Sale Motion be economical under the circumstances. Because there are approximately 1,600 creditors on the Creditor Matrix, it would cost the estate approximately \\$30,000 to serve the entire Lady May II Sale Motion (which is more than 60 pages in total) on the Creditor Matrix. By contrast, serving only the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice (which are 4 pages in total) on the Creditor Matrix costs only approximately \\$7,000.\n\n11. In light of the foregoing, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court not require the Trustee to serve the entire Lady May II Sale Motion on the Creditor Matrix, but limit service on the Creditor Matrix to the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice.\n\n### **II. Expedited Consideration of Lady May II Sale Motion**\n\n12. 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 Lady May II Sale Motion on an expedited basis, no later than December 18, 2023. In particular, an expedited hearing is warranted in order to ensure that the sale of the Lady May II can close in advance of the outside closing date December 31, 2023, which, for all practical purposes means that the sale must close in advance of the Christmas holidays.\n\n13. Therefore, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court schedule a hearing for the Lady May II Sale Motion no later than December 18, 2023, and set an objection deadline of December 13, 2023. Parties on the CM/ECF list would thus have sixteen (16) days' notice, while all other parties on the Creditor Matrix would have fifteen (15) days' notice (assuming the Sale Notice and Hearing Notice are served on Tuesday, November 28, 2023), which reflects only a reduction of five (5) or (6) days (as applicable) compared to the standard twenty-one (21) days' notice. In other words, the Trustee is only seeking a minor shortening of the notice period, in order to ensure that the proposed sale can close before the Christmas holidays.\n\n### [*Remainder of page intentionally left blank*.]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that the\n\nBankruptcy Court enter the Proposed Order granting the relief requested herein.\n\nDated: November 27, 2023 New York, New York\n\n#### By: */s/ G.

Despins（吕克·A·德斯平斯）以其在 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）第11章案件中获任命的第11章受托人（“受托人”）身份，通过其下列签署的律师，特此提交本动议（“本动议”），请求作出与本动议所附证据A基本同一形式的紧急命令（“拟议命令”），（a）规定，就 Lady May II 出售动议而言，2受托人仅须向债权人名册送达：（i）由法院发出的听证通知（“听证通知”），以及（ii）拟议私下出售破产财产通知（与本动议所附证据B基本同一形式，“出售通知”），而无须送达整份 Lady May II 出售动议；并且（b）安排加速听证，以审理和裁定 Lady May II 出售动议。为支持本动议，受托人谨陈述如下：\n\n1　本第11章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及多个其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号码后四位：8202）和 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 及 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为：Paul Hastings LLP（保罗·黑斯廷斯律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，转交 Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）破产财团的受托人（仅用于通知和通信）。\n\n2　“Lady May II 出售动议”系指《受托人根据〈破产法典〉第105条和第363条、〈联邦破产程序规则〉第2002条、第6004(c)条和第9014条以及地方法院规则第6004-1条和第6004-2条提出的动议，请求作出命令：（I）授权并批准无留置权、请求权、权益及负担地出售 Lady May II，（II）授权并批准购买和销售协议，以及（III）给予相关救济》。本文所使用但未另行定义的大写术语具有 Lady May II 出售动议中赋予该等术语的含义。\n\n管辖权和审判地\n\n1. 法院根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 和 1334，以及 United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格州联邦地区法院）的移送常设命令，对本事项具有管辖权。本事项属于 28 U.S.C. § 157(b) 所指的核心程序。\n\n2. 根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 和 1409，本地区为适当审判地。\n\n3. 本动议所请求救济的依据为《破产法典》第105(a)条、《联邦破产程序规则》（“破产程序规则”）第2002(a)条、第2002(i)条和第9006(c)(1)条，以及地方法院规则第6004-2(g)条。\n\n背景\n\n4. 2023年11月27日，受托人提交了 Lady May II 出售动议，据此，受托人寻求根据《破产法典》第363(b)条和第363(f)条，并依照该购买和销售协议，将 Lady May II 无留置权、请求权、权益及负担地出售给买方（“出售”）。\n\n5. 同于2023年11月27日，受托人向以下人士送达了整份 Lady May II 出售动议的副本：（i）Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格州美国受托人办公室），（ii）买方，（iii）债务人的律师，（iv）委员会，（v）向 Lady May 的经纪人 Edmiston（埃德米斯顿）表示有意购买 Lady May 的所有实体和个人，以及（vi）根据破产程序规则第2002条请求就债务人案件获得通知的所有当事人（“通知当事人”）。3\n\n3　Lady May II 出售动议通过法院电子备案（“CM/ECF”）系统以电子方式，或按照电子备案通知所示通过邮寄方式向无法接受电子备案的任何人士完成送达。\n\n所请求的救济\n\n6. 受托人通过本动议请求作出拟议命令：（a）确认受托人仅须向本第11章案件中维护的债权人名册（“债权人名册”）送达听证通知和出售通知，而无须送达整份 Lady May II 出售动议；以及（b）安排在 2023年12月18日 当周举行加速听证，以审理和裁定 Lady May II 出售动议。\n\n救济依据\n\n7. 破产程序规则第2002(a)条一般要求，就在正常营业过程以外拟议出售财产，须至少提前二十一（21）天以邮寄方式向“债务人、受托人、所有债权人及契约受托人”以及根据《破产法典》第1102条任命的任何委员会发出通知。见破产程序规则第2002(a)(2)条、第2002(i)条。此外，地方法院规则第6004-2(g)条要求，出售动议“应由动议人向所有表示有意购买该财产的当事人送达。”\n\n一、仅送达听证通知和出售通知\n\n8. 受托人请求，仅要求其向债权人名册送达听证通知和出售通知，而无须送达整份 Lady May II 出售动议。出售通知载有对拟出售财产（即 Lady May II）的摘要说明以及购买和销售协议的主要条款。此外，出售通知还在第一页以粗体大写字体说明，可在 http，即 Epiq 在本第11章案件中维护的网站上，免费查阅 Lady May II 出售动议。除此之外，受托人预计法院即将发出的听证通知将载明 Lady May II 出售动议的听证日期及相关异议截止日期等事项。\n\n9. 受托人谨提交，前述送达符合破产程序规则和地方法院规则，因为其向所有利害关系方，包括债权人名册中的所有当事人，提供了拟议出售的通知。具体而言，受托人认为，向债权人名册送达整份 Lady May II 出售动议既无必要，亦会造成不当高昂的费用。其无必要，因为所有债权人均已通过载明拟议出售主要条款、异议截止日期及听证日期的听证通知和出售通知，获知拟议出售。此外，出售通知引导读者前往 Epiq 的网站，可在该网站免费查阅整份 Lady May II 出售动议副本。因此，未向债权人名册中的当事人送达 Lady May II 出售动议纸质副本，不会对其造成不利影响。\n\n10. 在此情况下，送达整份 Lady May II 出售动议也不经济。由于债权人名册中约有 1,600 名债权人，向债权人名册送达整份 Lady May II 出售动议（总计超过60页）将使破产财团花费约 \\$30,000。相比之下，仅向债权人名册送达听证通知和出售通知（总计4页）仅花费约 \\$7,000。\n\n11. 鉴于上述情况，受托人谨请求法院不要求受托人向债权人名册送达整份 Lady May II 出售动议，而将向债权人名册的送达限于听证通知和出售通知。\n\n二、加速审理 Lady May II 出售动议\n\n12. 破产程序规则第9006(c)(1)条规定，在因正当理由提出动议请求时，法院可以缩短通知期限。存在正当理由，应以加速方式审理和裁定 Lady May II 出售动议，且不得晚于 2023年12月18日。具体而言，为确保 Lady May II 的出售能够在最终交割日期 2023年12月31日 之前完成，有必要进行加速听证；出于一切实际目的，这意味着该出售必须在圣诞假期之前完成交割。\n\n13. 因此，受托人谨请求法院将 Lady May II 出售动议的听证安排在不晚于 2023年12月18日 举行，并将异议截止日期定为 2023年12月13日。CM/ECF 名单上的当事人因此将获得十六（16）天通知，而债权人名册上的所有其他当事人将获得十五（15）天通知（假定出售通知和听证通知于 2023年11月28日，星期二送达）；与标准的二十一（21）天通知相比，这仅减少五（5）天或（视情况而定）六（6）天。换言之，受托人仅寻求小幅缩短通知期限，以确保拟议出售能够在圣诞假期前完成交割。\n\n[本页其余部分特意留白。]\n\n因此，基于上述理由，受托人谨请求破产法院作出拟议命令，准予本文所请求的救济。\n\n日期：2023年11月27日\n纽约州纽约市\n签署人：/s/ G.
