And, again, that will be followed by a supplemental disclosure that will be filed with the Court as soon as possible in the hope that that is within a matter of just a day or two. So, with that, Your Honor, if I could ask Mr. Despins to address the Court about the supplemental disclosures that are not yet before the Court in writing? THE COURT: Yes, please. Go right ahead. MR. DESPINS: Good morning, Your Honor. As I stated in paragraph 11 of my declaration, I said that to the extent we learned of new connections that were not known to us at the time I submitted the declaration, we would update our disclosure statement and I will do that in writing. But I wanted to make sure today that I mentioned to the Court that we discovered last night that we have in the past represented entities that have -- that are -- have the acronym PAG in them, P-A-G. Unbeknownst to our conflict system, PAG means Pacific Asia Group. And those entities -- and, again, as I said, these are representations that were completed, but these entities are unrelated to the Kwok matter in any way. However, PAX is probably managed by a similar or a PAG entity of some kind. We're trying to figure out exactly which one.\n\n| Case 22-50073 | Doc 561-1 | Filed 07/15/22 | Entered 07/15/22 16:45:27 | Page 4 of 4 |\n|---------------|-----------|----------------|---------------------------|-------------|\n|---------------|-----------|----------------|---------------------------|-------------|\n\n|    | 21                                                           |\n|----|--------------------------------------------------------------|\n| 1  | Trustee's application for an order approving the appointment |\n| 2  | of a Chapter 11 trustee is granted and the proposed order    |\n| 3  | will enter.                                                  |\n| 4  | MS.
