Update on Asbestos Removal: The asbestos removal projected was concluded on\n\nFriday, January 26, 2024.\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and 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\n<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Status Report have the meanings ascribed to them in the Remediation Order.\n\n2. Selection of General Contractors: As noted in the prior status reports, Genever US received bids from each of the following five general contractors:\n\n- a. Gustav Restoration\n- b. Gem Contracting\n- c. Liebhaber Company\n- d. Quest Builders Group\n- e. Sciame Construction\n\nFollowing receipt of these bids, the Debtor's architect (Acheson Doyle) conducted follow-up interviews and additional walk-throughs with these five general contractors, after which these contractors submitted further refined bids. In accordance with the Remediation Order, Genever US shared with the Consultation Parties all general contractor bids it received. Ultimately, and after consulting with the Consultation Parties, Genever US selected Sciame Construction as the general contractor, as their bid was the most cost-effective. In particular, the total cost of their bid for the remediation project is \\$630,507.81 (which cost includes windows and HVAC units). Sciame estimates that the project will take approximately 84 days to complete. At this time, Sciame has not yet commenced their work, because the Sherry Netherland must first conduct a soot removal project in the area of the Sherry Netherland Apartment affected by the March 15, 2023 fire.3 Genever US has been advised by the Sherry Netherland that it will take several weeks to complete the soot removal project.\n\n3. Summary of Expenses Paid Through January 31, 2024: Through the end of January 2024, Genever US has made the following payments in connection with the Remediation Project:\n\n| Date            | Recipient                           | Description                   | Amount     |\n|-----------------|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------|------------|\n| August 30, 2023 | Gallagher Bassett<br>Services, Inc. | Asbestos survey and reporting | \\$3,871.56 |\n\n 3 The soot could not be removed until after the asbestos removal had been completed.\n\n| October 4, 2023      | Gallagher Bassett<br>Services, Inc.     | Asbestos permits                                                                                                                                                                                    | \\$7,349.06    |\n|----------------------|-----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|\n| October 13, 2023     | ABF Environmental,<br>Inc.              | Asbestos abatement work                                                                                                                                                                             | \\$48,900.00   |\n| October 30, 2023     | Acheson Doyle<br>Partners Architects PC | Architectural services                                                                                                                                                                              | \\$3,380.86    |\n| November 2, 2023     | Genever US                              | Reimbursement from Sherry<br>Netherland (80% of payments made<br>by Genever US to (i) ABF<br>Environmental on October 13,<br>2023, and (ii) Gallagher Bassett<br>Services, Inc. on October 4, 2023) | (\\$44,999.25) |\n| November 9,<br>2023  | Gustav Restoration<br>LLC               | 50% deposit for removing<br>fireplace (to prepare for asbestos<br>removal)                                                                                                                          | \\$1,226.12    |\n| December 1,<br>2023  | Acheson Doyle<br>Partners Architect PC  | Architectural services                                                                                                                                                                              | \\$63,720.78   |\n| December 1,<br>2023  | Catalpa Special<br>Inspections          | 50% deposit for special<br>inspection services                                                                                                                                                      | \\$2,875.00    |\n| December 12,<br>2023 | Gustav Restoration<br>LLC               | Remaining 50% payment for<br>removing fireplace                                                                                                                                                     | \\$1,226.13    |\n| December 20,<br>2023 | Acheson Doyle<br>Partners Architect PC  | Architectural services                                                                                                                                                                              | \\$74,011.84   |\n| January 16, 2024     | Acheson Doyle<br>Partners Architect PC  | Architectural services                                                                                                                                                                              | \\$27,760.65   |\n\nDated: February 20, 2024 New York, New York By: */s/ G.

Liebhaber Company\n- d. Quest Builders Group\n- e. Sciame Construction\n\n在收到这些投标后，债务人的建筑师（Acheson Doyle）与这五家总承包商进行了后续面谈和额外现场踏勘，随后这些承包商提交了进一步细化的投标。根据修复裁定，Genever US 与咨询各方分享了其收到的所有总承包商投标。最终，在与咨询各方协商后，Genever US 选择了 Sciame Construction 作为总承包商，因为他们的投标最具成本效益。特别是，他们针对该修复项目的投标总成本为 $630,507.81（该费用包括窗户和暖通空调系统单元）。Sciame 估计该项目大约需要84天完成。目前，Sciame 尚未开始其工作，因为雪利荷兰酒店必须首先在受2023年3月15日火灾影响的雪利荷兰酒店公寓区域内开展烟尘清除项目。3 雪利荷兰酒店已通知 Genever US，完成烟尘清除项目将需要数周时间。\n\n3. 截至2024年1月31日已支付费用的汇总：截至2024年1月底，Genever US 已支付与修复项目相关的以下款项：\n\n日期　收款人　描述　金额\n\n2023年8月30日　Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc.　石棉调查与报告　$3,871.56\n\n 3 在石棉清除完成之前，无法进行烟尘清除。\n\n2023年10月4日　Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc.　石棉许可　$7,349.06\n\n2023年10月13日　ABF Environmental, Inc.　石棉消除作业　$48,900.00\n2023年10月30日　Acheson Doyle Partners Architects PC　建筑设计服务　$3,380.86\n2023年11月2日　Genever US　来自雪利荷兰酒店的报销款（Genever US 于 (i) 2023年10月13日支付给 ABF Environmental 及 (ii) 2023年10月4日支付给 Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc. 的款项的80%）　($44,999.25)\n2023年11月9日　Gustav Restoration LLC　拆除壁炉（为石棉清除做准备）的50%定金　$1,226.12\n2023年12月1日　Acheson Doyle Partners Architect PC　建筑设计服务　$63,720.78\n2023年12月1日　Catalpa Special Inspections　专项检查服务的50%定金　$2,875.00\n2023年12月12日　Gustav Restoration LLC　拆除壁炉的剩余50%尾款　$1,226.13\n2023年12月20日　Acheson Doyle Partners Architect PC　建筑设计服务　$74,011.84\n2024年1月16日　Acheson Doyle Partners Architect PC　建筑设计服务　$27,760.65\n\n日期：2024年2月20日 纽约州纽约市 签署人：/s/ G.
