Despins, in his capacity as Chapter 11 Trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\"), hereby files his revised outline of proposed pretrial procedures and schedule for avoidance action adversary proceedings (the \"Revised Outline\"), based on the Court's comments at the hearing held in the Chapter 11 Case on October 27, 2025, and further feedback from avoidance action defendants. In respect to the foregoing, the Trustee respectfully states:\n\n1. Since the October 27 hearing, among other things, the Trustee has conferred with representative counsel for certain avoidance action defendants (the \"Joint Defendants\") and reviewed a counterproposal outline filed by the Joint Defendants on October 29, 2025 [ECF No. 4791] (the \"Joint Defendants' Outline\").\n\n1 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 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\n2. In contemplation of the November 3, 2025 continued hearing, the Trustee attaches\n\nhis Revised Outline hereto as **Exhibit A** (in a clean form) and **Exhibit B** (in a redline form compared to the Joint Defendants' Outline).\n\n3. While the Revised Outline reflects numerous language changes compared to the\n\nJoint Defendants' Outline, the number of material issues separating the parties has narrowed\n\nconsiderably, and now principally includes the following:\n\n- The Trustee's Revised Outline provides for avoidance claims to be trial-ready by June 15, 2025, rather than by August 17, 2025 (as the Joint Defendants propose).\n- The Revised Outline immediately lifts all (a) full and partial stays under ¶ 2(e) (i) and (ii) of the May 2, 2024 avoidance and mediation procedures order [ECF No. 3163] (the \"May 2, 2024 Procedures Order\") [2](#page-1-0) and (b) mediation stays under ¶ 2(j)(iii) of the May 2, 2024 Procedures Order[3](#page-1-1) ; and sets a December 15, 2025 answer deadline for claims that had previously been fully stayed.\n- The Revised Outline has eliminated distinctions between \"tranches\" of defendants, which are no longer necessary given that stays under ¶¶ 2(e)(i) and 2(j)(iii) of the May 2, 2024 Procedures Order will be lifted, and the parties will follow a common discovery schedule.\n- The Revised Outline incorporates the stay of constructive fraudulent transfer claims,[4](#page-1-2) which the Joint Defendants' Proposal removed.\n- The Trustee notes that the Joint Defendants removed the prohibition on motions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 and 56. [5](#page-1-3) As a compromise, the Revised Outline requires parties wishing to prosecute motions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 and 56 to first obtain leave of the Court by filing short (maximum four-page) pre-motion requests.\n\n2 These have been referred to as \"3A\" and \"3B\" stays, after the exhibit numbers to May 2, 2024 Procedures Order.\n\n3 Under the Revised Outline, mediation of avoidance claims may continue on a voluntary basis. The Trustee is in the process of scheduling numerous mediation sessions with the assigned mediators and mediating defendants, and the Trustee looks forward to productive discussions.\n\n4 The Trustee included this provision in his original outline based on the Court's comments at the October 21, 2025 hearing, at which the Court noted that adjudication of the Trustee's actual intent fraudulent transfer claims may dispense with the need to litigate constructive fraudulent transfer claims (filed in a small minority of actions).\n\n5 Again, the Trustee included this provision based on the Court's comments at the October 21, 2025 hearing.\n\n4. The Trustee is prepared to engage in further constructive discussions with avoidance defendants as to procedures for orderly and efficient avoidance litigation with due consideration of the parties' respective rights and interests.\n\n*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\nDated: October 30, 2025 LUC A.

Trustee's Interrogatories / Requests for Admission:
Maximum
of 25 interrogatories and 25 requests for admissions
for the
Trustee as against each Defendant, subject to potential increase
by agreement or order of the Court.
•
To the extent the Defendants believe relevant documents and
information are not available or readily identifiable in the
Depository, they shall serve a draft request for production
identifying such documents and information (\"Draft RFP\"),
and promptly meet and confer with the Trustee to determine
whether such documents and information exist in the Trustee's
possession, custody, or control, or are identifiable in the
Depository.
If the parties cannot resolve this issue, such
Defendant(s) may seek relief from the Court to order
production of the documents and information identified in the
Draft RFP into the Depository.
•
Production
of
documents
or
information
shall
neither
constitute nor evidence waiver of attorney-client privilege or
work product doctrine (i.e., reciprocal non-waiver provision). |\n| Trustee's Document
Depository and Privilege
Logs | •
Trustee intends to produce responsive documents through
Depository, organized into Data Rooms (further organized by
producing party), subject to Trustee's reservations that vast
majority of documents were produced to Trustee by third
parties,
Trustee
makes
no
representations
as
to
accuracy/authenticity of such documents, and inclusion of
documents does not constitute admission or basis to argue
documents are relevant/admissible or constitute admission of
any fact. |\n| | •
Access to depository shall be limited to counsel and defendants
that have signed operative Protective Order/Addendum and
that are engaged in discovery with Trustee under this Order.
Protective Order/Addendum shall otherwise apply in all
discovery proceedings under this Order. |\n| | •
Trustee will serve in the initial instance a categorical privilege
log identifying, for each category of withheld documents, (a)
general parties to such documents/ communications (e.g., the
Debtor and his bankruptcy counsel at a particular law firm), (b)
the general subject matter of the withheld documents (e.g.,
legal advice related to bankruptcy filing), (c) the date range of
the documents in the category, and (d) the basis for the asserted
privilege (e.g., attorney-client privilege, work product, etc.).
The Trustee will meet and confer with defendants after
providing the categorical log if defendants believe further
information regarding privileges asserted by Trustee is
required as to any categories. |\n| Deposition Discovery | •
Deposition discovery shall not commence prior to March
16,
2026
(+73). |\n\n| | •
Trustee
and
Defendants
shall
cooperate
in
scheduling
depositions and ensuring
that Trustee and all

Defendants receive notice of any depositions. |\n|----------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| | •
Defendants shall share time and cooperate in posing questions
to witnesses and shall make their best efforts to not pose
duplicative questions. |\n| | •
Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the parties shall depose
an individual or corporate representative one time, provided
that the time period specified in Rule 30(d)(1) may be enlarged
by agreement or order of the Court for good cause shown. |\n| Expert Discovery | •
Any party that would like to disclose an expert under
Rule 26(a)(2)(A) shall provide such notice to the other
party by 60 days prior to the end of fact discovery. The
parties shall either stipulate to or seek an order of the
Court to set a schedule for the disclosures required under
Rule 26(a)(2)(B) and any expert-related discovery. |\n| Trials / Intervention in
Omnibus Alter Ego
Actions | •
The Court shall hold a status conference approximately 21
days prior to the close of fact discovery for the purpose of
scheduling any pre-trial and trial proceedings. |\n| | •
The Trustee will file a motion requesting approval of similar
procedures in the Omnibus Alter Ego Actions so that claims
may be litigated and tried under Rule 42 to avoid duplication
of efforts and redundant proceedings. |\n| | •
Any trial proceedings shall be sequenced and/or consolidated
as appropriate, including under Rule 42 (as made applicable by
FRBP 7042), with priority given to adjudicating first claims
involving postpetition transfers and transfers involving entities
already established as the Debtor's alter egos by existing
judgments. |\n| Pre-Motion Requests
as to
Certain Motions | •
A pre-motion request (a \"Pre-Motion Request\") (of no more
than four pages) shall be filed prior to filing
or adjudication of
any motion under FRCP 12 or 56, which Pre-Motion Request
shall set forth the basis for the proposed motion, to which any
adverse party may file a written response (a \"Pre-Motion
Response\") (of no more than four pages) within fourteen (14)
days. For the avoidance of doubt, this
requirement shall apply
to any
Defendant subject to claims that had been fully stayed
under ¶¶
2(e)(i)
or 2(j)(iii)
of the May 2, 2024 Procedures
Order
that filed a motion under FRCP 12 or 56 prior to or
during such stay. |\n| | •
After the filing of a Pre-Motion Request and any Pre-Motion |\n\n| | Response, the Court may rule on the papers as to whether the
requesting party may file the proposed motion or may schedule
a status conference to discuss the Pre-Motion Request. |\n|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Submission of Order and
Schedule | •
Trustee and Defendants shall submit a proposed order
incorporating these terms to the Court for each applicable
adversary proceeding. |\n\n### **EXHIBIT B**\n\n# **(Revised Outline – Redline)**\n\n### **CERTAINCHAPTER 11 TRUSTEE'S FURTHER COUNTERPROPOSAL TO JOINT DEFENDANTSDEFENDANTS' COUNTERPROPOSAL OF PROPOSED PRETRIAL PROCEDURES**\n\n| Subject | General Description |\n|-----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Defendants Subject to | Aaron Mitchell; Aaron Mitchell; ACASS Canada Limited; |\n| First Discovery | ACASS U.S.A.

The Joint Defendants further recognize that certain avoidance actions may have been fully stayed, and, thus, defendants may not yet have had the opportunity to mediate the claims against them.

Despins（吕克·A·德斯平斯）以获任管理 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（“债务人”）第11章案件（“第11章案件”）的第11章受托人（“受托人”）身份，特此提交其撤销权诉讼对抗程序拟议审前程序及日程的修订提纲（“修订提纲”），该提纲基于法院在2025年10月27日举行的第11章案件听证会上的意见，以及撤销权诉讼被告提出的进一步反馈。就上述事项，受托人谨陈述如下：\n\n1. 自10月27日听证会以来，除其他事项外，受托人已与某些撤销权诉讼被告（“联合被告”）的代表律师进行了磋商，并审阅了联合被告于2025年10月29日提交的反提案提纲 [ECF No. 4791]（“联合被告提纲”）。\n\n1 本第11章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号码后四位：8202）以及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 及 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为：Paul Hastings LLP（宝盛律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，c/o Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 遗产的受托人（仅用于通知和通信）。\n\n2. 鉴于2025年11月3日的续期听证会，受托人随附本修订提纲作为附件A（清洁版本）和附件B（与联合被告提纲相比的红线版本）。\n\n3. 尽管与联合被告提纲相比，修订提纲反映了诸多措辞修改，但当事人之间尚存的实质性争议事项已大幅减少，目前主要包括以下内容：\n\n- 受托人的修订提纲规定，撤销权请求应于2025年6月15日前具备审判条件，而非于2025年8月17日前具备审判条件（如联合被告所提议）。\n\n- 修订提纲立即解除：(a) 2024年5月2日撤销及调解程序命令 [ECF No. 3163]（“2024年5月2日程序命令”）第2(e)(i)及(ii)款项下的全部及部分中止 [2]；以及 (b) 2024年5月2日程序命令第2(j)(iii)款项下的调解中止 [3]；并为此前被完全中止的请求设定2025年12月15日的答辩截止日期。\n\n- 修订提纲取消了被告“批次”之间的区分；鉴于2024年5月2日程序命令第2(e)(i)及2(j)(iii)款项下的中止将被解除，且各方将遵循共同的证据开示日程，该等区分已无必要。\n\n- 修订提纲纳入了对推定欺诈性转让请求的中止，[4] 而联合被告提案已将其删除。\n\n- 受托人指出，联合被告删除了对依据 Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 和 56 提出动议的禁止。[5] 作为折中方案，修订提纲要求希望推进依据 Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 和 56 提出的动议的当事人，须先通过提交简短（最多四页）的动议前申请取得法院许可。\n\n2 该等中止因其在2024年5月2日程序命令附件中的编号而被称为“3A”和“3B”中止。\n\n3 根据修订提纲，撤销权请求的调解可在自愿基础上继续进行。受托人正在与获指派的调解员及参与调解的被告安排多场调解会议，并期待开展富有成效的讨论。\n\n4 受托人基于法院在2025年10月21日听证会上的意见，在其原始提纲中纳入该项规定；在该次听证会上，法院指出，对受托人实际欺诈意图的欺诈性转让请求作出裁判，可能无需再对推定欺诈性转让请求（仅在极少数诉讼中提出）进行诉讼。\n\n5 同样，受托人基于法院在2025年10月21日听证会上的意见纳入该项规定。\n\n4. 受托人准备与撤销权被告就有序、高效进行撤销权诉讼的程序开展进一步建设性讨论，并适当考虑各方各自的权利和利益。\n\n[本页其余部分特意留白。]\n\n日期：October 30, 2025 LUC A.
