Pursuant to the Cleaning Order, Genever US obtained authorization to remediate soot, char, and other combustion by-products (\"CBPs\") in the area not directly affected by the March 15, 2023 fire (the \"Remaining Area\"), as well as to conduct the related asbestos abatement with respect to the insulation of the horizontal pipes in the interstitial space above the ceiling.\n\n4. After the Storage Items were packaged and moved from the Remaining Area into storage at the Warehouse Facility in early May 2024, DKI began preparing the Remaining Area for the Cleaning Project (including removing the ceilings and adding protective layers on the walls). Thereafter, during the first week of June, ABF Environmental, Inc. conducted (and\n\ncompleted) the asbestos abatement, namely removing the asbestos containing insulation from horizontal pipes (located above the drop ceiling in the Remaining Area).\n\n5.

Genever US anticipates that the Cleaning Project in the Remaining Area will be completed during the first half of August 2024—*i.e.*, concurrently with the completion of the Remediation Project.\n\n6.
