The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the 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(collectively, the \"Debtors\") in their chapter 11 cases (the \"Chapter 11 Cases\"), hereby files this fourth interim fee application (this \"Application\") for compensation in the amount of \\$6,059.10 for the reasonable and necessary professional services Epiq rendered to the Debtors from January 1, 2024 through April 30, 2024 (the \"Compensation Period\"), plus reimbursement for the actual and necessary expenses that Epiq incurred in the amount of \\$1,340.37 during the Compensation Period. In support of this Application, Epiq respectfully states as follows:\n\n#### **Jurisdiction and Venue**\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. § 1334 and the *Order* from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, dated September 21, 1984. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2).\n\n2. Venue in the Court is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1408.\n\n3. 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#### **A. Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case**\n\n4. On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), debtor Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Individual Debtor\") filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the \"Individual Case\"). On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (\"Committee\") in the Individual Case [Docket No. 108].\n\n5. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered the *Memorandum of Decision and Order Denying Motion to Dismiss Without Prejudice and Granting Joinder to Motion for Appointment of Chapter 11 Trustee* [Docket No. 465] (the \"Trustee Order\") directing the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut (the \"U.S. Trustee\") to appoint a chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") in the Individual Case. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the U.S. Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee and filed a *Notice of Appointment of Chapter 11 Trustee* with the Court on July 7, 2022 [Docket No. 514]. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting Mr. Despins' appointment as Trustee in the Individual Case [Docket No. 523].\n\n#### **B. Genever (BVI)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n6. On October 11, 2022, debtor Genever Holdings Corporation (\"Genever (BVI)\") filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the \"Genever (BVI) Case\"). No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the Genever (BVI) Case.\n\n7. On October 14, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Individual Case and the Genever (BVI) Case [Docket No. 970].\n\n#### **C. Genever (US)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n8. On October 12, 2020, Genever Holdings LLC (\"Genever (US)\") filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York ( \"SDNY Bankruptcy Court\") a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the \"Genever (US) Case\"), thereby commencing case number 20-12411 (JLG).\n\n9. On November 3, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered a memorandum decision and order granting a joint motion by the Trustee and Genever (BVI) to transfer venue of the Genever (US) Case to this Court [Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592], which caused the Genever US Case number to be reassigned as case number 22-50592.\n\n10. On November 21, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Genever (US) Case with the jointly administered cases of the Individual Debtor and the Genever (BVI) Debtor [Docket No. 1141].\n\n#### **D. Bar Date Motion**\n\n11. On November 16, 2022, the Court held a hearing (the \"Bar Date 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 Bar Date Hearing, the Court orally granted the Supplemental Bar Date Motion, subject to certain oral modifications on record at the Hearing.\n\n12. 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 the redaction of name, contact, and other confidential information from proofs of claim.\n\n#### **E. Epiq's Retention**\n\n13. On December 5, 2022, the Trustee and debtors Genever (BVI) and Genever (US) jointly filed with the Court the *Application of Chapter 11 Trustee, Genever Holdings Corporation, and Genever Holdings LLC for Entry of Order (I) Approving Retention and Appointment of Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC as Claims and Noticing Agent, Effective as of December 1, 2022,*  *and (II) Granting Related Relief* [Docket No. 1198], pursuant to which the Debtors sought to retain and employ Epiq as their claims and noticing agent pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 156(c). Epiq's retention was approved by order of the Court on January 5, 2023 [Docket No. 1298] (the \"Retention Order\").\n\n14. 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### **F. Interim Compensation**\n\n15. On August 18, 2023, the Court entered the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, which, among other things, approves procedures for the payment of 80% of fees and 100% of expenses on a monthly basis. Epiq did not previously seek compensation for fees and expenses incurred during the Compensation Period.\n\n### **Summary of Professional Services**\n\n16. Pursuant to, and consistent with, the relevant requirements set forth in the Local Bankruptcy Rules, as applicable, the following exhibits are attached hereto:\n\n- a. **Exhibit A** contains a certification by the undersigned regarding compliance with the Local Bankruptcy Rules (the \"Certification\");\n- b. **Exhibit B** contains a list of Epiq's project categories and the total billed to each category during the Compensation Period;\n- c. **Exhibit C** contains a billing summary for the Compensation Period that includes the name of each professional for whose work compensation is sought, the aggregate time expended by each professional, the corresponding hourly billing rate at Epiq's current billing rates, and an indication of the individual amounts requested as part of this Application;\n- d. **Exhibit D** contains the time detail for the Interim Fee Period;\n- e. **Exhibit E** consists of Epiq's records of expenses incurred during the Compensation Period in the rendition of the professional services to the Debtors and their estates; and\n- f. **Exhibit F** contains the proposed order requesting approval of this Application.\n- 17. To provide a meaningful summary of services rendered on behalf of the Debtors\n\nand their estates for the Compensation Period, Epiq has established, in accordance with its internal billing procedures, the following matter numbers in connection with these cases:\n\n| Matter No. | Matter Description          |\n|------------|-----------------------------|\n| 130        | Creditor Calls/Requests     |\n| 195        | Claims – Other              |\n| 205        | Set Up Mailing/Noticing     |\n| 642        | Fee Application Preparation |\n\n18. The following is a summary, by matter, of the most significant professional services rendered by Epiq as claims and noticing agent during the Compensation Period. This summary is organized in accordance with Epiq's internal system of matter numbers.2\n\n# **A. Creditor Calls/Requests (Matter No. 130)**\n\nTotal Fees: \\$379.30 Total Hours: 2.40\n\n19. The services provided in this category include all matters related to correspondence\n\nwith creditors, including email and telephone communication regarding critical information and updates in the case relevant to creditors and the Committee.\n\n<sup>2</sup> This summary of services rendered during the Compensation Period is not intended to be a detailed or exhaustive description of the work performed by Epiq, but, rather, is intended to highlight certain key areas where Epiq provided services to the Debtors during the Compensation Period. A summary description of the work performed, categorized by project code, and those day-to-day services and the time expended in performing such services, are set forth in the exhibits attached.\n\n#### **B. Claims – Other (Matter No. 195)**\n\nTotal Fees: \\$1,647.60 Total Hours: 9.40\n\n20. The services provided in this category include time spent in the processing of claims forms and redaction of such forms as required by the Bar Date Order filed in these cases.<sup>3</sup>\n\n### **C. Set Up Mailing/Noticing (Matter No. 205)**\n\nTotal Fees: \\$114.20 Total Hours: 0.70\n\n21. The services provided in this category include: (i) processing of undeliverable mail received by Epiq from mail carriers for completed mailings; and (ii) mailing of claim acknowledgement letters to claimants that have filed post-Bar date claims confirming the receipt and processing of those claims by Epiq.\n\n#### **D. Fee Application Preparation (Matter No. 642)**\n\nTotal Fees: \\$3,918.00 Total Hours: 19.10\n\n22. The services provided in this category include preparation of monthly and interim fee applications, including: (i) drafting and revision applications for compensation; (ii) review of time entries for professional services rendered by Epiq to ensure conformity with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Local Rules; and (iii) preparation and finalization of exhibits to applications for compensation.\n\n#### **Reasonable and Necessary Services Rendered by Epiq**\n\n23. 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\n<sup>3</sup> In light of the Court's February 28, 2023 order [Docket No. 1486] authorizing Epiq to exclude attachments from confidential proofs of claim, no time was spent on redacting attachments to proofs of claim.\n\n24. 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\n25. 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. Moreover, as noted, given that the general bar date has now passed, Epiq anticipates that, going forward, the work related to the claims processing will be fairly minor.\n\n26. During the Interim Fee Period, Epiq's hourly billing rates for the professionals responsible for managing these cases ranged from \\$110.00 to \\$214.00. Allowance of compensation in the amount requested would result in a blended hourly billing rate for professionals of approximately \\$191.74 (based on 31.60 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\n8\n\n### **Epiq's Requested Compensation Should be Allowed**\n\n27. 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. 11 U.S.C. § 331. 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.\" 11 U.S.C. 327(a). Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code also sets forth the criteria for the award of such compensation and reimbursement:\n\nIn 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- a. the time spent on such services;\n- b. the rates charged for such services;\n- c. 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- d. 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;\n- e. with respect to a professional person, whether the person is board certified or otherwise has demonstrated skill and experience in the bankruptcy field; and\n- f. whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under this title.\n\n### 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3).\n\n28. 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 Chapter 11 Cases only in the event that funds were recovered by the Trustee for the Debtors' estates. Upon recovery of such funds, Epiq agreed to receive payment of all accrued fees and costs at the time at which assets are converted to funds on a *pari passu* basis with other retained professionals in these 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\n29.

Despins 为受托人，并于 July 7, 2022 向法院提交第11章受托人指定通知 [Docket No. 514]。于 July 8, 2022，法院作出裁定，批准 Despins 先生在个人案件中被指定为受托人 [Docket No. 523]。\nB. Genever (BVI) 的第11章案件\n\n6. 于 October 11, 2022，债务人 Genever Holdings Corporation（“Genever (BVI)”）向法院提交了依据《破产法典》第11章请求救济的自愿申请（“Genever (BVI) 案件”）。Genever (BVI) 案件中尚未指定受托人或无担保债权人正式委员会。\n\n7. 于 October 14, 2022，法院作出裁定，批准对个人案件和 Genever (BVI) 案件进行合并管理 [Docket No. 970]。\nC. Genever (US) 的第11章案件\n\n8. 于 October 12, 2020，Genever Holdings LLC（“Genever (US)”）向美国纽约南区联邦破产法院（“SDNY Bankruptcy Court”）提交了依据《破产法典》第11章请求救济的自愿申请（“Genever (US) 案件”），从而启动案件编号 20-12411 (JLG)。\n\n9. 于 November 3, 2022，SDNY Bankruptcy Court 作出决定备忘录和裁定，准许受托人与 Genever (BVI) 共同提出的将 Genever (US) 案件审判地移送至本法院的动议 [Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592]，致使 Genever US 案件编号被重新指定为案件编号 22-50592。\n\n10. 于 November 21, 2022，法院作出裁定，批准将 Genever (US) 案件与个人债务人和 Genever (BVI) 债务人的合并管理案件进行合并管理 [Docket No. 1141]。\nD. 债权申报截止日期动议\n\n11. 于 November 16, 2022，法院就《第11章受托人、Genever Holdings Corporation 和 Genever Holdings LLC 关于作出裁定以（I）设定提交债权证明的截止日期；（II）批准截止日期通知格式；以及（III）准予相关救济的补充动议》[Docket No. 1072]（“补充债权申报截止日期动议”）举行听证会（“债权申报截止日期听证会”）。在债权申报截止日期听证会结束时，法院口头准许补充债权申报截止日期动议，但须遵守听证会上记录在案的某些口头修改。\n\n12. 于 December 2, 2022，受托人提交了补充债权申报截止日期动议的附录 [Docket No. 1191]（“附录”），其中请求法院批准程序，以允许个别债权人在不公开披露其姓名和联系信息的情况下以保密方式提交债权证明等事项。于 January 5, 2023，法院作出裁定 [Docket No. 1297]（“债权申报截止日期裁定”），设定提交债权证明的截止期限，并授权从债权证明中隐去姓名、联系信息及其他保密信息。\nE. Epiq 的聘任\n\n13. 于 December 5, 2022，受托人与债务人 Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 共同向法院提交《第11章受托人、Genever Holdings Corporation 和 Genever Holdings LLC 关于作出裁定以（I）批准自 December 1, 2022 起聘任和指定 Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC 为债权申报及通知代理人，以及（II）准予相关救济的申请》[Docket No. 1198]，据此债务人依据 28 U.S.C. § 156(c) 寻求聘任 Epiq 作为其债权申报及通知代理人。法院于 January 5, 2023 通过裁定批准聘任 Epiq [Docket No. 1298]（“聘任裁定”）。\n\n14. 聘任裁定授权 Epiq 根据《破产法典》第328及330条、破产规则、地方规则以及法院可能作出的此类命令，按小时获得报酬，并获得实际和必要的自付支出偿还。\nF. 临时报酬\n\n15. 2023年8月18日，法院作出临时补偿程序命令，其中包括批准按月支付80%费用和100%开支的程序。Epiq（艾匹克）此前未就补偿期间发生的费用和开支申请补偿。\n\n专业服务摘要\n\n16. 根据并遵循当地破产规则中规定的相关适用要求，随附下列附件：\n\na. 附件A载有下述签署人就遵守当地破产规则所作的证明（“证明”）；\n\nb. 附件B载有Epiq的项目类别清单，以及补偿期间各类别的计费总额；\n\nc. 附件C载有补偿期间的计费摘要，包括为其工作寻求补偿的每位专业人员的姓名、每位专业人员投入的累计时间、按Epiq现行计费费率计算的相应小时计费费率，以及作为本申请一部分所请求的个别金额说明；\n\nd. 附件D载有临时费用期间的时间明细；\n\ne. 附件E由Epiq在向债务人及其财产提供专业服务过程中，于补偿期间发生的开支记录组成；以及\n\nf. 附件F载有请求批准本申请的拟议命令。\n\n17. 为对Epiq代表债务人及其财产于补偿期间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\n642　费用申请准备\n\n18. 以下按事项概述Epiq作为债权申报及通知代理人在补偿期间提供的最重要专业服务。本摘要按照Epiq的内部事项编号系统编排。2\n\nA. 债权人来电/请求（事项编号130）\n\n费用总额：$379.30　总小时数：2.40\n\n19. 本类别提供的服务包括与债权人通信有关的所有事项，包括与债权人及委员会相关的本案关键信息和更新事项的电子邮件及电话沟通。\n\n2 本服务摘要无意对Epiq在补偿期间完成的工作作出详细或穷尽性的说明，而旨在突出Epiq于补偿期间向债务人提供服务的若干重点领域。按项目代码分类的已完成工作摘要说明，以及该等日常服务及完成该等服务所花费的时间，载于随附附件中。\n\nB. 债权申报——其他（事项编号195）\n\n费用总额：$1,647.60　总小时数：9.40\n\n20. 本类别提供的服务包括处理债权申报表格，以及按照本案提交的截止日期命令要求对该等表格进行删节所花费的时间。3\n\nC. 设置邮寄/通知（事项编号205）\n\n费用总额：$114.20　总小时数：0.70\n\n21. 本类别提供的服务包括：(i) 处理Epiq从邮递承运人处收到的、针对已完成邮寄的无法投递邮件；及(ii) 向在截止日期后提交债权申报的申报人邮寄债权确认函，确认Epiq已收到并处理该等债权申报。\n\nD. 费用申请准备（事项编号642）\n\n费用总额：$3,918.00　总小时数：19.10\n\n22. 本类别提供的服务包括编制月度和临时费用申请，包括：(i) 起草及修订补偿申请；(ii) 审查Epiq所提供专业服务的时间记录，以确保符合当地破产规则中规定的要求；及(iii) 编制并最终确定补偿申请的附件。\n\nEpiq提供的合理且必要的服务\n\n23. Epiq在补偿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\n3 鉴于法院于2023年2月28日作出的命令[Docket No. 1486]授权Epiq从保密债权申报中排除附件，未花费任何时间对债权申报附件进行删节。\n\n24. Epiq是美国领先的第11章管理服务提供者之一，在通知、债权申报管理、征集、投票以及促进破产案件其他行政事务方面具有经验。作为债权管理、咨询及法律行政服务的专业机构，Epiq为破产案件中的各类行政问题提供全面解决方案，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为这些第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\n25. 在补偿期间，Epiq就与截止日期材料邮寄有关的各项事宜提供咨询及协助，处理保密债权申报表格，并审查该等表格，以按照在这些第11章案件中作出的截止日期命令要求删节保密信息。为此，如本申请附件C中详述，众多Epiq专业人员花费时间代表债务人及其财产提供服务。此外，如前所述，鉴于一般截止日期现已届满，Epiq预计今后与债权申报处理有关的工作将相当有限。\n\n26. 在临时费用期间，负责管理本案的Epiq专业人员的小时计费费率介于$110.00至$214.00之间。准许所请求金额的补偿，将使专业人员的综合小时计费费率约为$191.74（基于在提供服务时按Epiq当时有效的常规计费费率记录的31.60小时）。Epiq在本案中采用的小时费率及相应费率结构，通常等同于Epiq在可比事项中主要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，也无论是否需要提交费用申请。\n\n应准许Epiq所请求的补偿\n\n27. 《破产法》第331条规定专业人员的临时补偿，并纳入《破产法》第330条的实质性标准，以规范法院对该等补偿的裁定。11 U.S.C. § 331. 《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补偿……并偿还实际发生的必要开支。”11 U.S.C. 327(a). 《破产法》第330条还规定了裁定该等补偿和偿还的标准：\n\n在确定应裁定的合理补偿金额时，法院应考虑该等服务的性质、范围及价值，并考虑所有相关因素，包括：\n\na. 用于该等服务的时间；\n\nb. 该等服务收取的费率；\n\nc. 该等服务对于管理本法规定的案件，或者在提供服务时对于完成该案件是否必要或有益；\n\nd. 考虑所处理问题、争议或任务的复杂性、重要性和性质，该等服务是否在合理时间内完成；\n\ne. 就专业人员而言，该人员是否经委员会认证，或以其他方式证明其在破产领域具备技能和经验；以及\n\nf. 根据具有相当技能的执业人员在非本法规定案件中通常收取的补偿，该补偿是否合理。\n\n11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3).\n\n28. 在本案中，Epiq谨陈，其在本申请中寻求补偿的服务对于债务人及其财产属必要且有益，并且是为保护和维护债务人财产而提供的。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案件中的所有利益相关方受益。此外，根据聘用Epiq的条款，Epiq同意仅在受托人为债务人财产追回资金的情况下，才在这些第11章案件中收取付款。在追回该等资金后，Epiq同意在资产转换为资金时，与这些第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进一步陈述，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，本文请求的补偿是合理的。\n\n29. Epiq的专业人员在补偿期间共花费31.60小时，该等服务的公平市场价值为$6,059.10。如本申请及为支持本申请提交的所有附件所示，Epiq以经济方式使用其时间，且未作不必要的重复。此外，所完成的工作根据每项具体任务所需的经验和专业水平，审慎地分配给适当的专业人员。综上，Epiq提供的服务对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、新颖性和性质相称的及时方式完成。\n\n30. 因此，Epiq谨陈，批准本文所请求的补偿具有正当依据。\n\n无先前请求\n\n31. 此前未向本法院或任何其他法院提出过请求本文所请求救济的申请。\n\n[本页其余部分有意留白。]\n\n据此，Epiq请求准许其就补偿期间发生的费用和开支获得偿还，总额为$7,399.47，其中包括：(a) Epiq提供合理且必要专业服务的$6,059.10；及(b) 实际且必要的成本和开支$1,340.37，并请求将该等费用和开支作为债务人财产的行政费用支付（以未根据临时补偿命令支付的范围为限）。\n\n日期：June 24, 2024　/s/ Kate Mailloux（凯特·梅卢）\n\nKate Mailloux（凯特·梅卢）　高级咨询总监　Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC（Epiq公司重组有限责任公司）\n\n美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院布里奇波特分院\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) ) ) ) ) ) ) )\n\n案号：22-50073 (JAM)\n\n（合并管理）\n\n送达证明\n\n下列签署人特此证明：2024年6月24日，Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC（Epiq企业重组有限责任公司）作为债权申报及通知代理人就2024年1月1日至2024年4月30日期间已提供服务的报酬批准及已发生的全部实际且必要支出之偿还所提交的第四次临时费用申请（以下简称“申请”）2已通过电子方式提交。该提交的通知已通过法院电子提交（“CM/ECF”）系统向上述标题所列第11章案件的所有当事人发送电子邮件，或按照电子提交通知所示向无法接受电子提交的任何人士邮寄送达。3 此外，在前述方式未涵盖的范围内，申请副本已送达债务人第11章案件中二十（20）名最大债权人。各方可通过法院的CM/ECF系统查阅该提交文件。\n\n1 本第11章案件中的债务人为Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（又名Guo Wengui、Miles Guo及Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（吉尼弗控股有限责任公司）（税务识别号码后四位：8202）以及Genever Holdings Corporation（吉尼弗控股公司）。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，c/o Luc A.
