Luc A. Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") appointed in the

chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok (the "Debtor"), by and through his undersigned counsel,

hereby files this motion (the "Motion") requesting entry of an emergency order, substantially in

the form attached hereto as **Exhibit A** (the "Proposed Order") (a) providing that, with respect to

the Lady May II Sale Motion,2 the Trustee is only required to serve on the creditor matrix (i) the

1 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).

² The "Lady May II Sale Motion" refers to the *Trustee's Motion, Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 105 and 363, Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004(c), and 9014, and Local Rules 6004-1 and 6004-2, Seeking Entry of Order: (I) Authorizing and Approving Sale of Lady May II Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, Interests, and Encumbrances, (II) Authorizing and Approving Purchase and Sale Agreement, and (III) Granting Related Relief*. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Lady May II Sale Motion.

notice of hearing to be issued by the Court (the "Hearing Notice") and (ii) the *Notice of Proposed Private Sale of Estate Property* (substantially in the form attached hereto as **Exhibit B**, the "Sale Notice"), instead of serving a copy of the entire Lady May II Sale Motion, and (b) scheduling an expedited hearing to consider and determine the Lady May II Sale Motion. In support of this Motion, the Trustee respectfully states as follows:

### **JURISDICTION AND VENUE**

1. 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).

2. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

3. The bases for the relief sought by this Motion are section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Rules 2002(a), 2002(i) and 9006(c)(1) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules"), and Local Rule 6004-2(g).

#### **BACKGROUND**

4. On November 27, 2023, the Trustee filed the Lady May II Sale Motion, pursuant to which the Trustee seeks to sell the Lady May the Buyer free and clear of liens of liens, claims, interests and encumbrances (the "Sale"), pursuant to sections 363(b) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code in accordance with that certain PSA.

5. Also on November 27, 2023, the Trustee served copies of the *entire* Lady May II Sale Motion on (i) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut, (ii) the Buyer, (iii) counsel for the Debtor, (iv) the Committee, (v) all entities and individuals that have expressed to Edmiston, the broker for the Lady May, an interest in purchasing the Lady May,

and (vi) all parties who have requested notice in the Debtor's case pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 (the "Notice Parties").3

### **RELIEF REQUESTED**

6. By this Motion, the Trustee requests entry of the Proposed Order (a) confirming that the Trustee is only required to serve the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice, but not the entire Lady May II Sale Motion, on the creditor matrix maintained in these chapter 11 cases (the "Creditor Matrix") and (b) scheduling an expedited hearing to consider and determine the Lady May II Sale Motion for the week of December 18, 2023.

#### **BASIS FOR RELIEF**

7. Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a) generally requires that a minimum of twenty-one (21) days' notice of the proposed sale of property outside the ordinary course of business be provided by mail to "the debtor, the trustee, all creditors and indenture trustees" and any committee appointed under section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code. *See* Bankruptcy Rules 2002(a)(2), 2002(i). Additionally, Local Rule 6004-2(g) requires sale motions "be served by the Movant on all parties indicating interest in the purchase of the property."

### **I. Service of Hearing Notice and Sale Notice Only**

8. The Trustee requests that he only be required to serve the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice, but not the entire Lady May II Sale Motion, on the Creditor Matrix. The Sale Notice contains a summary description of the property to be sold (*i.e.*, the Lady May II) as well as the key terms of the PSA. Furthermore, the Sale Notice also states, on the first page, and in **bold and all-caps** that the Lady May II Sale Motion can be viewed, free of charge, at

³ Service of the Lady May II Sale Motion was effectuated electronically through the Court's electronic filing ("CM/ECF") system or by mail to anyone unable to accept electronic filing as indicated on the notice of electronic filing.

http *i.e.*, the website maintained by Epiq in these chapter 11 cases. In addition, the Trustee anticipates that the Court's forthcoming Hearing Notice will contain, among other things, the hearing date for the Lady May II Sale Motion and the related objection deadline.

9. The Trustee respectfully submits that the foregoing service complies with the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules, as it provides notice of the proposed Sale to all interested parties, including all parties on the Creditor Matrix. In particular, the Trustee believes that service of the entire Lady May II Sale Motion on the Creditor Matrix is both unnecessary and unduly expensive. It is unnecessary because, all creditors are on notice of the proposed Sale through the Hearing Notice and Sale Notice, which describes the key terms of the proposed Sale as well as the objection deadline and the hearing date(s). Moreover, the Sale Notice directs the reader to Epiq's website where a copy of the entire Lady May II Sale Motion can be viewed, free of charge. Thus, there is no prejudice to the parties on the Creditor Matrix from not serving them with a hard copy of the Lady May II Sale Motion.

10. Nor would service of the entire Lady May II Sale Motion be economical under the circumstances. Because there are approximately 1,600 creditors on the Creditor Matrix, it would cost the estate approximately \$30,000 to serve the entire Lady May II Sale Motion (which is more than 60 pages in total) on the Creditor Matrix. By contrast, serving only the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice (which are 4 pages in total) on the Creditor Matrix costs only approximately \$7,000.

11. In light of the foregoing, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court not require the Trustee to serve the entire Lady May II Sale Motion on the Creditor Matrix, but limit service on the Creditor Matrix to the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice.

### **II. Expedited Consideration of Lady May II Sale Motion**

12. Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1) provides that the Court may reduce the notice period when requested by motion upon cause shown. Cause exists to consider and determine the Lady May II Sale Motion on an expedited basis, no later than December 18, 2023. In particular, an expedited hearing is warranted in order to ensure that the sale of the Lady May II can close in advance of the outside closing date December 31, 2023, which, for all practical purposes means that the sale must close in advance of the Christmas holidays.

13. Therefore, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court schedule a hearing for the Lady May II Sale Motion no later than December 18, 2023, and set an objection deadline of December 13, 2023. Parties on the CM/ECF list would thus have sixteen (16) days' notice, while all other parties on the Creditor Matrix would have fifteen (15) days' notice (assuming the Sale Notice and Hearing Notice are served on Tuesday, November 28, 2023), which reflects only a reduction of five (5) or (6) days (as applicable) compared to the standard twenty-one (21) days' notice. In other words, the Trustee is only seeking a minor shortening of the notice period, in order to ensure that the proposed sale can close before the Christmas holidays.

### [*Remainder of page intentionally left blank*.]

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that the

Bankruptcy Court enter the Proposed Order granting the relief requested herein.
