General Contractor Work: As noted in the prior status reports, Genever US\n\nselected Sciame Homes (\"Sciame\") as the general contractor for the remediation project. At this\n\n 1 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\ntime, Sciame has not yet commenced work, because (a) the Sherry Netherland had to first complete the process of selecting a contractor to remove the soot in the area of the Sherry Netherland Apartment affected by the March 15, 2023 fire,<sup>3</sup> and (b) Genever US could not apply for the building permit from the New York City Department of Buildings (\"DOB\") until after the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (\"DEP\") had issued the close-out documentation for the asbestos removal project. The Sherry Netherland recently selected DryFast DKI (\"DKI\") as the contractor for the soot removal project, and the DEP issued the asbestos close-out documentation at the end of February. Accordingly, Genever US is now in the process of applying for the DOB building permit, which it expects to obtain within the next 10 to 14 days. In the meantime, while awaiting the issuance of the DOB permit, Sciame will be conducting pre-permitting work, including readying the site for the remediation work. In addition, Sciame is coordinating with DKI to conduct the remediation work concurrently with the soot removal project.\n\n2. Summary of Expenses Paid Through February 29, 2024: Through the end of February 2024, Genever US has made the following payments in connection with the Remediation Project:\n\n| Date             | Recipient              | Description                   | Amount        |\n|------------------|------------------------|-------------------------------|---------------|\n|                  |                        |                               |               |\n| August 30, 2023  | Gallagher Bassett      | Asbestos survey and reporting | \\$3,871.56    |\n|                  | Services, Inc.         |                               |               |\n| October 4, 2023  | Gallagher Bassett      | Asbestos permits              | \\$7,349.06    |\n|                  | Services, Inc.         |                               |               |\n| October 13, 2023 | ABF Environmental,     | Asbestos abatement work       | \\$48,900.00   |\n|                  | Inc.                   |                               |               |\n| October 30, 2023 | Acheson Doyle          | Architectural services        | \\$3,380.86    |\n|                  | Partners Architects PC |                               |               |\n| November 2,      | Genever US             | Reimbursement from Sherry     | (\\$44,999.25) |\n| 2023             |                        | Netherland (80% of payments   |               |\n\n<sup>3</sup> For the avoidance of doubt, the soot removal project is the responsibility of the Sherry Netherland, not Genever US.\n\n|                  |                         | made by Genever US to (i) ABF      |             |\n|------------------|-------------------------|------------------------------------|-------------|\n|                  |                         | Environmental on October 13,       |             |\n|                  |                         | 2023, and (ii) Gallagher Bassett   |             |\n|                  |                         | Services, Inc. on October 4,       |             |\n|                  |                         | 2023)                              |             |\n| November 9,      | Gustav Restoration      | 50% deposit for removing           | \\$1,226.12  |\n| 2023             | LLC                     | fireplace (to prepare for asbestos |             |\n|                  |                         | removal)                           |             |\n| December 1,      | Acheson Doyle           | Architectural services             | \\$63,720.78 |\n| 2023             | Partners Architect PC   |                                    |             |\n| December 1,      | Catalpa Special         | 50% deposit for special            | \\$2,875.00  |\n| 2023             | Inspections             | inspection services                |             |\n| December 12,     | Gustav Restoration      | Remaining 50% payment for          | \\$1,226.13  |\n| 2023             | LLC                     | removing fireplace                 |             |\n| December 20,     | Acheson Doyle           | Architectural services             | \\$74,011.84 |\n| 2023             | Partners Architect PC   |                                    |             |\n| January 16, 2024 | Acheson Doyle           | Architectural services             | \\$27,760.65 |\n|                  | Partners Architect PC   |                                    |             |\n| February 1, 2024 | Acheson Doyle           | Architectural services             | \\$29,003.70 |\n|                  | Partners Architect PC   |                                    |             |\n| February 1, 2024 | Skyline Windows LLC     | 50% deposit for window             | \\$60,258.50 |\n|                  |                         | replacement at Sherry              |             |\n|                  |                         | Netherland apartment               |             |\n| February 14,     | Arista Air Conditioning | Removal of damaged HVAC            | \\$2,515.01  |\n| 2024             | Corp.                   | units in Sherry Netherland         |             |\n|                  |                         | apartment                          |             |\n\nDated: March 26, 2024 New York, New York\n\nBy: */s/ G.
