In connection with the Chapter 11 Trustee obtaining control over Genever BVI, and as detailed in the Court's order regarding the Chapter 11 Trustee's corporate governance rights [Docket No. 717], the Chapter 11 Trustee selected Harneys Corporate Services Limited (\"Harneys Corporate\") to serve as registered agent of Genever BVI. In addition, the Chapter 11\n\n<sup>1</sup> Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Declaration.\n\nTrustee intends to appoint Claire Abrehart, a Managing Director of Harneys Corporate, to serve as the sole director of Genever BVI, pursuant to a director services agreement between Genever BVI and Harneys Corporate, which has yet to be finalized.\n\n3.
