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.

In support of this Application, the Chapter 11 Trustee submits the *Declaration of Patrice Doger de Spéville in Support of Application of Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Order, Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327, 328, and 330, Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016, and Local Bankruptcy Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1, Authorizing and Approving Retention and Employment of Patrice Doger de Spéville, Senior Counsel, and William de Robillard, of Counsel, as Barrister in Republic of Mauritius* (the \"Doger de Spéville Declaration\"), attached as **Exhibit C**, which is incorporated herein by reference. In further support of this Application, the Chapter 11 Trustee states the following:\n\n### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n1. By this Application, the Chapter 11 Trustee seeks entry of an order, substantially in the form of the proposed order filed herewith (the \"Proposed Order\"), authorizing and approving the retention and employment of the Barristers as the Chapter 11 Trustee's barrister in Mauritius, effective as of September 11, 2024, to act as barristers under the instruction of ENS in connection with the conservatorship of Silver Bank Limited (the \"Silver Bank\") and to oppose the request of Himalaya International Clearing Limited (\"HICL\") to release funds nominally under HICL's name held in Silver Bank, pending in the Chambers Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of Mauritius (the \"Mauritius Action\") and related matters. As the Court is well aware, the Chapter 11 Trustee has filed an adversary proceeding, Adv. Proc. No. 24-5249, seeking a ruling from this Court that HICL is the *alter ego* of and equitably owned by Ho Wan Kwok, and that, therefore, the funds in HICL's account at Silver Bank are owned by the Trustee.\n\n2. The Chapter 11 Trustee selected the Barristers as his barrister based on their\n\nexpertise in corporate and commercial litigation in Mauritius, as well as its extensive experience with in complex commercial matters, including banking and financial matters, under Mauritius law.\n\n# **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASES**\n\n3. 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\n4. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n5. The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are sections 327(a), 328(a), and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, and, to the extent applicable, Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016, and Local Bankruptcy Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1.\n\n## **BACKGROUND**\n\n6. On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), the Debtor filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n7. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the \"Committee\") in the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case.\n\n8. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Docket No. 465] (the \"Trustee Order\") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Chapter 11 Trustee [Docket No. 514].\n\n9. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Chapter 11 Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case [Docket No. 523].\n\n### **BARRISTERS QUALIFICATIONS**\n\n10. The Barristers have extensive experience with, and offers a broad spectrum of legal services in, both litigation and transactional matters within Mauritian law, as well as internationally. The Barristers have expertise in civil and commercial matters, in a broad range of corporate and financial matters. Over the years, Mr. Doger de Spéville has appeared in numerous complex and high profile cases at all levels, including before the Supreme Court of Mauritius and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.\n\n# **ANTICIPATED SERVICES**\n\n11. The Chapter 11 Trustee anticipates that the Barristers will serve as his barrister in Mauritius with respect to all matters related to the Mauritius Action. Due to the specialized nature of the role of a barrister, there will be no duplication of services arising from the Barrister's retention, including in connection with ENS, whom the Trustee will retain as his Mauritius attorneys, from whom the Barristers will receive instruction.\n\n### **COMPENSATION OF BARRISTERS**\n\n12. The Barristers intend to apply to the Court for compensation for professional services rendered and for reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with this Chapter 11 Case pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 2016, Local Bankruptcy Rule 2016-1, and any other applicable rules and orders with respect to this Chapter 11 Case. The Barristers will charge the Debtor for its legal services on an hourly basis at its regularly applicable hourly rates in connection with barrister's services required in the Mauritius Action.\n\n13. At present, the 2024 hourly rate of \\$700 for Mr. Doger de Spéville and \\$400 for Mr. de Robillard (plus 15% VAT). The Barristers will also bill for out-of-pocket expenses made\n\non behalf of the Debtor, including photocopying, postage and package deliveries, court fees, transcripts, witness fees, service fees, travel expenses, and computer-aided research.\n\n14. The Debtor submits that the Barristers' hourly rates are reasonable, comparable to the Barristers' hourly rates for other engagements, and within the range of rates charged by comparably skilled professionals who offer the same services.\n\n# **BARRISTERS ARE DISINTERESTED**\n\n15. To the best of the Chapter 11 Trustee's knowledge in reliance upon the Doger de Spéville Declaration, and except as disclosed therein, the Barristers do not have any relationships with the Debtor, its creditors, or any other party-in-interest, their respective attorneys and accountants, the United States Trustee, or any person employed in the Office of the United States Trustee.\n\n16. More specifically, upon the basis of the Doger de Spéville Declaration, and except as disclosed therein, the Chapter 11 Trustee believes that: (a) the Barristers have no connection with the Debtor, his creditors, the U.S. Trustee, any person employed in the office of the U.S. Trustee, or any other party with an actual or potential interest in the Debtor or his respective attorneys or accountants; and (b) the Barristers (i) are not a creditors, equity security holders, or insiders of the Debtor or his affiliates, (ii) have not been, within two years before the Petition Date, a director, officer, or employee of the Debtor or his affiliates, and (iii) have not had any interest materially adverse to the interests of the Debtor's estate or any class of creditors or equity security holders by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in the Debtor, or for any other reason. Therefore, the Chapter 11 Trustee believes that the Barristers are \"disinterested persons\" within the meaning of section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b).\n\n17. Based on the Doger de Spéville Declaration, the Chapter 11 Trustee believes that the Barristers do not represent any adverse interest to unsecured creditors in connection with the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n## **BASIS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n18. The Chapter 11 Trustee requests to retain and employ the Barristers as his barristers in Mauritius with respect to the Mauritius Action pursuant to section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that a trustee, subject to the approval of the Court, may employ professional persons \"that do not hold or represent an interest adverse to the estate, and that are disinterested persons, to represent or assist the trustee in carrying out the trustee's duties under this title.\"\n\n19. Under section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, with bankruptcy court approval, a trustee may employ professional persons under section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code \"on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee basis.\" 11 U.S.C. § 328(a).\n\n20. Bankruptcy Rule 2014(a) provides that an application for retention include:\n\nspecific facts showing the necessity for the employment, the name of the [firm] to be employed, the reasons for the selection, the professional services to be rendered, any proposed arrangement for compensation, and, to the best of the applicant's knowledge, all of the [firm's] connections with the debtor, creditors, any other party in interest, their respective attorneys and accountants, the United States trustee.\n\n21. The Chapter 11 Trustee requires the services of barristers in Mauritius to exercise his responsibilities. The Barristers will endeavor to avoid the duplication of efforts and provide services as efficiently as possible.\n\n22. Accordingly, the employment of the Barristers, as the Chapter 11 Trustee's barrister, upon the terms set forth herein and in the Proposed Order, is reasonable and in the best interest of the Debtor's estate.\n\n23. The Chapter 11 Trustee submits that the Barristers' rates are reasonable, comparable to rates for other engagements, and within the range of rates charged by comparably skilled professionals who offer the same services.\n\n24. Local Bankruptcy Rule 2014-1 provides that if \"an application to employ a professional is filed within thirty (30) days after the commencement of services provided by that professional, the application shall be deemed contemporaneously filed unless the Court orders otherwise.\" Accordingly, the Chapter 11 Trustee requests authority to retain and employ the Barristers effective September 11, 2024, which was the date that the Barristers began providing services to the Chapter 11 Trustee.\n\n## **NOTICE**\n\n25. Notice of this Application has been given to the United States Trustee, the Debtor, the Committee, and, by electronic filing utilizing the Court's electronic filing (\"CM/ECF\") system, to all appearing parties who utilize the CM/ECF system.\n\n### **NO PRIOR REQUEST**\n\n26. No previous application for the relief requested herein has been made to this or any other Court.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\n# **CONCLUSION**\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Luc A. Despins, the Chapter 11 Trustee, requests that the Court enter an Order, substantially in the form of the Proposed Order filed herewith, granting the Application, and authorizing the Chapter 11 Trustee's employment of the Barristers, as his barristers, and order such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.\n\nDated: October 7, 2024 Chapter 11 Trustee in Chapter 11 Case of Ho Wan Kwok\n\n> */s/ Luc A.

I am a qualified Law Practitioner under the Law Practitioners Act and enrolled\n\nbefore the Mauritius Supreme Court as a barrister. I am Senior Counsel at De Spéville -\n\nDesvaux Chambers, which maintains its principal office at Fifth Floor, Chancery House. Lislet\n\nGeoffroy Street, Port Louis, Mauritius, and I make this declaration (the \"Declaration\") in support\n\nof the Application of Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Order, Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code\n\nSections 327, 328, and 330, Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016, and Local Bankruptcy Rules\n\n2014-1 and 2016-1, Authorizing and Approving Retention and Employment of Patrice Doger de\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\nSpéville, Senior Counsel, and William de Robillard, of Counsel as Barrister in Republic of Mauritius (the \"Application\")2 in connection with the Mauritius Action, and related matters (the \"Engagement\").\n\n2. In relation to the Engagement, the professional client of Patrice Doger de Spéville, Senior Counsel, and William de Robillard, of Counsel (the \"Barristers\"), is the estate (the \"Estate\") of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\") in his above-captioned chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\"). In relation to the Engagement, the Barristers will seek to recover their fees from the Estate, and I will file fee applications in the Chapter 11 Case on their behalf.\n\n3. I graduated in Law at the Council of Legal Education School of Law, London, England and was called to the Mauritian Bar in 1978. I am a member of the Middle Temple, holder of French 'Licence & Maitrise en Droit,'. I was elected President of the Mauritius Bar Association in 2008 and elevated to the rank of Senior Counsel in June 2010. I deal with both international and domestic clients, primarily in banking, financial, insurance, and commercial matters. My experience encompasses, among other things, corporate matters, insolvency, banking and financing matters, and as well as complex commercial litigation and arbitration.\n\n4. Jo The Barristers will file applications for compensation of professional services rendered and for reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the Engagement pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 2016, Local Bankruptcy Rule 2016-1, and any other applicable rules and orders with respect to this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n5. Engagement. At present, the the 2024 hourly rate are \\$700 for Mr. Doger de Spéville and \\$400\n\n<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Application.\n\nfor Mr. de Robillard (plus 15% VAT). The Barristers may also bill the Estate for any out-ofpocket expenses made on behalf of the Chapter 11 Trustee, including photocopying, postage and package deliveries, court fees, transcripts, witness fees, service fees, travel expenses, and computer-aided research.\n\n6. To the best of my knowledge and belief after due inquiry, the Barristers are \"disinterested persons\" within the meaning of section 101(14) of title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\") in that the Barristers:\n\n- are not creditors, equity security holders, or insiders of the Debtor; a.\n- b. are not, and were not within two years before the date of filing of the Debtor's petition, directors, officers, or employees of the Debtor; and\n- C. do not have an interest materially adverse to the interest of the Debtor's estate or of any class of creditors or equity security holders, by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in, the Debtor, or for any other reason.\n\n7. I attach to this Declaration, as Schedule 1, a consolidated list of parties in interest in connection with the Chapter 11 Case (the \"Interested Parties\") that has been produced by Paul Hastings and provided to the Barristers before my signing this Declaration that I am informed includes:\n\n- a. parties listed as creditors, executory contract counterparties, and codebtors on the Debtor's Schedules D, F, G, and H [Docket No. 78];\n- b. parties listed on the Debtor's Statement of Financial Affairs (\"SOFA\") [Docket No. 77], including (i) as recipients of payments within 90 days prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Case (SOFA Part 3, Question 6); (ii)\n\nparties involved in litigation in which the Debtor is a party (SOFA Part 4, Question 9); and businesses owned by the Debtor (SOFA Part 11, Question 27).\n\n- c. parties and counsel filing notice of appearances in the Chapter 11 Case;\n- d. the Court and personnel of the office of the United States Trustee; and\n- e. other parties in interest that I have become aware of as a result of the Chapter 11 Trustee's ongoing investigation of the Debtor's assets.\n\nThe Barristers have conducted reasonable checks of the Interested Parties against our records and data, and have determined that to the best of our knowledge and belief, the Barristers do not have any relationship or connection with the Largest Unsecured Creditors, the Debtor, Family Members and Related Entities, the Bankruptcy Judge and U.S. Trustee Personnel. To the best of my knowledge, the Barristers do not have any relationship or connection with the Other Interested Parties, or, to the best of my knowledge, with any other creditor of the Debtor, subject to the following exceptions:\n\nThe Barristers have or have had working relationships with the following firms:\n\n- a. DLA Piper LLP\n- b. Ernst and Young LLP\n- C Herbert Smith LLP\n- d. Hogan Lovells International LLP\n\nThe following entity is a client of the Barristers:\n\ne. Sotheby's International Realty\n\nThe Barrister's relationship with the entities identified in clauses a. through e. are unrelated to the Debtor and the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n![](_page_21_Picture_14.jpeg)\n\n8. While the Barristers have made a diligent effort to ascertain the identity of any connections or potential conflicts with the Interested Parties, to the extent that any additional information comes to light, the Barristers will review, disclose, and resolve any conflict or adverse interests that may appear.\n\n9. Based on the foregoing, insofar as I have been able to ascertain based on the information currently available to me: (a) the Barristers have no connection with the Debtor, his creditors, the U.S. Trustee, any person employed in the office of the U.S. Trustee, or any other party with an actual or potential interest in the Debtor or his respective attorneys or accountants; and (b) (i) the Barristers are not creditors, equity security holders, or insiders of the Debtor or his affiliates, (ii) the Barristers have not been, within two years before the Petition Date, a director, officer, or employee of the Debtor or his affiliates, and (iii) the Barristers do not have any interest materially adverse to the interests of the Debtor's estate or any class of creditors or equity security holders by reason of any direct relationship to, connection with, or interest in the Debtor, or for any other reason. Therefore, I understand from my discussions with Paul Hastings that this means the Barristers are \"disinterested persons\" within the meaning of section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b).\n\n10. I further understand from such discussions that Appendix B of the U.S. Trustee Guidelines (the \"Larger Case Guidelines\") does not apply in this Chapter 11 Case, because the Debtor's petition does not list \\$50 million or more in assets and \\$50 million or more in liabilities. In particular, I am informed that the Debtor estimated the value of his assets between \\$50,001 and \\$100,000.\n\n11. In the interest of providing maximum disclosure, and notwithstanding my position concerning the inapplicability of the Larger Case Guidelines, I provide the following response on\n\nbehalf of the Barristers to the request for information set forth in Paragraph D. 1. of the Larger\n\nCase Guidelines:\n\nQuestion: Did you agree to any variations from, or alternatives to, your standard or customary billing arrangements for this engagement?\n\nAnswer: No.\n\n- Question: Do any of the professionals included in this engagement vary their rate based on the geographic location of the bankruptcy case?\n- Answer: No.\n- Question: If you represented the client in the 12 months prepetition, disclose your billing rates and material financial terms for the prepetition engagement, including any adjustments during the 12 months prepetition. If your billing rates and material financial terms have changed postpetition, explain the difference and the reasons for the difference.\n- Answer: Not applicable. The Barristers have not previously represented the Chapter 11 Trustee.\n- Question: Has your client approved your prospective budget and staffing plan, and, if so, for what budget period?\n\nAnswer: Not applicable.\n\n12. The Barristers have neither shared nor agreed to share with any other person\n\ncompensation received in connection with the Engagement, except as is permitted by §504(b)(1)\n\nof the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n13. I consent that the following language may be included in any order by the Court\n\napproving the Chapter 11 Trustee's application in connection with my instruction in connection\n\nwith the Engagement.\n\nAllowance of any compensation for the Barristers shall be limited to the extent of services actually performed, and expenses actually incurred, as barrister instructed to act on behalf of the Chapter 11 Trustee Luc A.\n\nDespins, and shall not include compensation for the performance of any of the trustee duties that are generally performed by a Chapter 11 trustee without the assistance of an barrister.\n\nPursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the\n\nUnited States that the above statements are true and correct.\n\nDated: October 1, 2024, at Port Louis, Republic of Mauritius\n\n101 Patrice Doger de Spéville\n\n#### Schedule 1\n\n#### SCHEDULE OF PARTIES IN INTEREST - IN RE KWOK\n\n#### 20 LARGEST UNSECURED CREDITORS\n\nPACIFIC ALLIANCE ASIA OPPORTUNITY GOLDEN SPRING NEW YORK RUI MA CHENG JIAN WU JIAN SHE NING YE GUO BAOSHENG YAN LAN & WU ZHENG HONG QI QU NAN TONG SI JIAN JIAN GONG YAN ZHAO YUA HUA ZHUANG SHI LIEHONG ZHUANG/XIAO YAN ZHU WEICAN MENG/BOXUN INC.

Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）先生，以其作为上述郭文贵（以下简称“债务人”）第11章案件（以下简称“第11章案件”）中获任命的第11章受托人（以下简称“第11章受托人”）的身份，根据《美国法典》第11编（以下简称“破产法典”）第327、328及330条、《联邦破产程序规则》（以下简称“破产程序规则”）第2014及2016条，以及美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院（以下简称“法院”）《地方法院破产程序规则》（以下简称“地方法院破产程序规则”）第2014-1及2016-1条，提交本申请（以下简称“本申请”），请求作出一项实质上采用随附附件A所载形式的命令（以下简称“拟议命令”），授权其聘任帕特里斯·多热·德·斯佩维尔资深大律师及威廉·德·罗比拉尔特聘律师。\n\n1 本第11章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 及 Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号后四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 及 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为：Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，转交 Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 财产的受托人（仅限通知和通信之目的）。\n\n（以下合称“大律师”）作为毛里求斯共和国（“Mauritius”）的大律师，并接受 ENSafrica (Mauritius)（“ENS”）的指示，聘任条件载于随附附件B的聘任函（以下简称“聘任函”）。为支持本申请，第11章受托人提交作为附件C随附的《帕特里斯·多热·德·斯佩维尔关于支持第11章受托人根据《破产法典》第327、328及330条、《破产程序规则》第2014及2016条以及《地方法院破产程序规则》第2014-1及2016-1条申请作出命令，授权并批准聘任帕特里斯·多热·德·斯佩维尔资深大律师及威廉·德·罗比拉尔特聘律师担任毛里求斯共和国大律师之声明》（以下简称“多热·德·斯佩维尔声明”），该声明以引用方式并入本文。为进一步支持本申请，第11章受托人陈述如下：\n\n请求的救济\n\n1. 第11章受托人通过本申请，请求作出一项实质上采用随附提交的拟议命令（以下简称“拟议命令”）形式的命令，授权并批准自 September 11, 2024 起聘任大律师担任其在 Mauritius 的大律师，接受 ENS 的指示，就 Silver Bank Limited（以下简称“Silver Bank”）的托管事宜，以及反对 Himalaya International Clearing Limited（“HICL”）提出的请求，即释放名义上以 HICL 名义存放于 Silver Bank 的资金；该等事项目前正在毛里求斯最高法院商事庭（以下简称“毛里求斯诉讼”）审理，及处理相关事项。如法院所充分知悉，第11章受托人已提起对抗程序，Adv. Proc. No. 24-5249，请求本法院裁定 HICL 系郭文贵的另一自我实体，并由郭文贵享有衡平所有权，因此，HICL 在 Silver Bank 账户中的资金归受托人所有。\n\n2. 第11章受托人基于大律师在 Mauritius 公司及商事诉讼领域的专业知识，以及其根据 Mauritius 法律处理包括银行及金融事项在内的复杂商事事务的丰富经验，选定大律师担任其大律师。\n\n管辖权、审判地及法定依据\n\n3. 法院根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 以及美国康涅狄格联邦地区法院作出的移送常设命令，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\n4. 根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409，本地区为适格审判地。\n\n5. 本文所请求救济的法定依据为《破产法典》第327(a)、328(a)及330条，以及在适用范围内的《破产程序规则》第2014及2016条和《地方法院破产程序规则》第2014-1及2016-1条。\n\n背景\n\n6. 在 February 15, 2022（以下简称“申请日”），债务人向法院提交了根据《破产法典》第11章请求救济的自愿申请书。\n\n7. 在 March 21, 2022，美国受托人于债务人的第11章案件中任命了无担保债权人正式委员会（以下简称“委员会”）。\n\n8. 在 June 15, 2022，法院作出决定备忘录及命令 [Docket No. 465]（以下简称“受托人命令”），指示美国受托人在第11章案件中任命一名第11章受托人。根据受托人命令，美国受托人选定 Luc A. Despins 担任第11章受托人 [Docket No. 514]。\n\n9. 在 July 8, 2022，法院作出命令，批准任命 Luc A. Despins 担任第11章案件中的第11章受托人 [Docket No. 523]。\n\n大律师资质\n\n10. 大律师在 Mauritius 法律以及国际范围内的诉讼和交易事项方面具有丰富经验，并提供广泛的法律服务。大律师在民事及商事事项以及广泛的公司和金融事务方面具有专业知识。多年来，多热·德·斯佩维尔先生曾在包括毛里求斯最高法院及枢密院司法委员会在内的各级法院，出庭代理众多复杂且备受瞩目的案件。\n\n预期服务\n\n11. 第11章受托人预计，大律师将就与毛里求斯诉讼有关的所有事项担任其在 Mauritius 的大律师。鉴于大律师角色的专业性质，因聘任大律师而不会产生服务重复，包括与 ENS 有关的服务；受托人将聘任 ENS 作为其 Mauritius 律师，大律师将接受 ENS 的指示。\n\n大律师报酬\n\n12. 大律师拟根据《破产法典》第330及331条、《破产程序规则》第2016条、《地方法院破产程序规则》第2016-1条，以及与本第11章案件有关的任何其他适用规则和命令，向法院申请就本第11章案件提供的专业服务获得报酬，并就发生的费用获得偿还。对于毛里求斯诉讼所需的大律师服务，大律师将按其通常适用的小时费率，以小时计费方式向债务人收取法律服务费用。\n\n13. 目前，2024 年多热·德·斯佩维尔先生的小时费率为 \\$700，德·罗比拉尔先生的小时费率为 \\$400（另加 15% VAT）。大律师还将就代表债务人垫付的费用开具账单，包括复印费、邮资及包裹递送费、法院费用、庭审记录费用、证人费用、送达费用、差旅费用及计算机辅助检索费用。\n\n14. 债务人主张，大律师的小时费率合理，与大律师在其他聘任中的小时费率相当，并处于提供相同服务且技能相当的专业人士所收取费率的范围内。\n\n大律师不具有利害关系\n\n15. 据第11章受托人根据多热·德·斯佩维尔声明所知，并除该声明披露者外，大律师与债务人、其债权人或任何其他利害关系方、其各自律师和会计师、美国受托人或美国受托人办公室雇用的任何人士不存在任何关系。\n\n16. 更具体而言，根据多热·德·斯佩维尔声明，并除该声明披露者外，第11章受托人相信：(a) 大律师与债务人、其债权人、美国受托人、美国受托人办公室雇用的任何人士，或对债务人具有实际或潜在利益的任何其他方，或其各自律师或会计师不存在任何联系；以及 (b) 大律师 (i) 不是债务人或其关联方的债权人、股权证券持有人或内部人，(ii) 在申请日前两年内未曾担任债务人或其关联方的董事、高级管理人员或雇员，且 (iii) 未因与债务人的任何直接或间接关系、联系或利益，或因任何其他原因，而持有与债务人破产财产或任何类别债权人或股权证券持有人利益实质不利的任何利益。因此，第11章受托人相信，经第1107(b)条修改后，大律师属于《破产法典》第101(14)条所指的“无利害关系者”。\n\n17. 根据多热·德·斯佩维尔声明，第11章受托人相信，大律师在与第11章案件有关的事项中不代表任何与无担保债权人利益相冲突的利益。\n\n请求救济的依据\n\n18. 第11章受托人根据《破产法典》第327(a)条，请求就毛里求斯诉讼聘任大律师担任其在 Mauritius 的大律师。该条规定，经法院批准，受托人可聘任“不持有或代表与破产财产相冲突的利益，且为无利害关系者”的专业人士，以代表或协助受托人履行其在本编项下的职责。\n\n19. 根据《破产法典》第328(a)条，经破产法院批准，受托人可根据《破产法典》第327(a)条，按“任何合理的聘用条件和条款”聘任专业人士，包括按预付聘金、按小时计费、固定费用或百分比费用，或按风险代理费方式聘任。11 U.S.C. § 328(a).\n\n20. 《破产程序规则》第2014(a)条规定，聘任申请应载明：\n\n表明聘任必要性的具体事实、拟聘任的[律师事务所]名称、选定理由、将提供的专业服务、任何拟议的报酬安排，以及据申请人所知，该[律师事务所]与债务人、债权人、任何其他利害关系方、其各自律师和会计师、美国受托人之间的所有联系。\n\n21. 第11章受托人需要 Mauritius 大律师的服务以履行其职责。大律师将努力避免重复工作，并尽可能高效地提供服务。\n\n22. 因此，按照本文及拟议命令所载条款聘任大律师担任第11章受托人的大律师，属合理之举，并符合债务人破产财产的最佳利益。\n\n23. 第11章受托人主张，大律师的费率合理，与其他聘任的费率相当，并处于提供相同服务且技能相当的专业人士所收取费率的范围内。\n\n24. 《地方破产规则》2014-1规定，如“聘用专业人士的申请在该专业人士开始提供服务后三十（30）日内提交，除非法院另有命令，该申请应视为同时提交。”因此，第11章受托人请求授权其自2024年9月11日起保留并聘用该等大律师，该日为该等大律师开始向第11章受托人提供服务之日。\n\n通知\n\n25. 本申请的通知已送达美国受托人、债务人及委员会，并通过法院电子提交（“CM/ECF”）系统进行电子提交的方式送达所有使用CM/ECF系统出庭的当事人。\n\n此前未提出请求\n\n26. 未曾向本法院或任何其他法院提出过请求本申请所请求救济的申请。\n\n［本页其余部分特意留空。］\n\n结论\n\n因此，基于上述理由，第11章受托人Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）请求法院作出命令，形式实质上与随附提交的拟议命令相同，准许本申请，授权第11章受托人聘用该等大律师担任其大律师，并作出法院认为公正和适当的其他及进一步救济。\n\n日期：2024年10月7日　Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）第11章案件的第11章受托人\n\n/s/ Luc A. Despins　Luc A.

DLA Piper LLP\n- b. Ernst and Young LLP\n- C Herbert Smith LLP\n- d. Hogan Lovells International LLP\n\n下列实体为各大律师的客户：\n\ne. Sotheby's International Realty（苏富比国际地产）\n\n各大律师与第a至e项所列实体之间的关系与债务人及第11章案件无关。\n\n8. 尽管各大律师已尽力查明与利害关系方之间的任何联系或潜在冲突，但在任何补充信息出现的范围内，各大律师将审查、披露并解决可能出现的任何冲突或不利利益。\n\n9. 根据上述情况，且以本人基于目前可获得的信息所能查明的范围为限：(a) 各大律师与债务人、其债权人、美国受托人、美国受托人办公室雇用的任何人员，或对债务人具有实际或潜在利益的任何其他方，及其各自律师或会计师之间不存在任何联系；以及(b) (i) 各大律师不是债务人或其关联方的债权人、股权证券持有人或内部人，(ii) 在申请日之前两年内，各大律师不是债务人或其关联方的董事、高级管理人员或雇员，且(iii) 各大律师不因与债务人的任何直接关系、联系或利益，或因任何其他原因，而对债务人破产财产或任何类别债权人或股权证券持有人的利益持有实质性不利利益。因此，本人从与Paul Hastings的讨论中理解，这意味着各大律师属于经第1107(b)条修正的《破产法典》第101(14)条所指的“无利害关系人士”。\n\n10. 本人还从该等讨论中了解到，United States Trustee Guidelines（美国受托人指引）附录B（以下简称“重大案件指引”）不适用于本第11章案件，因为债务人的申请未列示\\$50 million或以上的资产以及\\$50 million或以上的负债。具体而言，据告知，债务人估计其资产价值介于\\$50,001和\\$100,000之间。\n\n11. 为提供最大程度的披露，且尽管本人关于重大案件指引不适用的立场，本人代表各大律师就重大案件指引第D.1段所列的信息请求作出如下答复：\n\n问题：对于本次委托，您是否同意偏离或替代您标准或惯常计费安排的任何安排？\n\n答复：否。\n\n问：本次委聘所包括的任何专业人士是否会根据破产案件的地理位置调整其费率？\n答：不会。\n\n问：如您在破产申请前12个月内曾代理该客户，请披露该破产申请前委聘的计费费率和重大财务条款，包括该破产申请前12个月内的任何调整。如您的计费费率和重大财务条款在破产申请后发生变化，请说明差异及其原因。\n答：不适用。大律师此前未曾代理Chapter 11 Trustee（第11章受托人）。\n\n问：您的客户是否已批准您拟议的预算和人员配置计划；如已批准，适用哪个预算期间？\n\n答：不适用。\n\n12. 大律师既未与任何其他人分享，也未同意与任何其他人分享与本次委聘有关而收取的报酬，但《破产法典》第§504(b)(1)条允许的情形除外。\n\n13. 我同意，法院在批准Chapter 11 Trustee（第11章受托人）就我与本次委聘有关的受聘事项所提出的申请的任何裁定中，可载入下列措辞。\n\n向大律师准予的任何报酬，应限于其作为受指示代表Chapter 11 Trustee Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）行事而实际提供的服务及实际发生的费用，且不得包括通常由第11章受托人在无需大律师协助的情况下履行的任何受托人职责的报酬。\n\n根据28 U.S.C. § 1746，我兹依照美国法律，在伪证处罚下声明，上述陈述真实且正确。\n\n日期：October 1, 2024，于Republic of Mauritius（毛里求斯共和国）Port Louis（路易港）\n\n101 Patrice Doger de Spéville（帕特里斯·多热·德·斯佩维尔）\n附表1\n利益相关方名册——关于KWOK（郭文贵）\n20名最大无担保债权人\n\nPACIFIC ALLIANCE ASIA OPPORTUNITY GOLDEN SPRING NEW YORK RUI MA CHENG JIAN WU JIAN SHE NING YE GUO BAOSHENG YAN LAN & WU ZHENG HONG QI QU NAN TONG SI JIAN JIAN GONG YAN ZHAO YUA HUA ZHUANG SHI LIEHONG ZHUANG/XIAO YAN ZHU WEICAN MENG/BOXUN INC.
