## **NOTICE OF FILING OF UPDATED EXHIBIT C TO THIRD INTERIM FEE APPLICATION OF PRAGER DREIFUSS AG & POLYVIOU LLC, AS SWISS LAW COUNSEL, FOR COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES FOR PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND RELATED MATTERS**

**PLEASE TAKE NOTICE** that, on January 30, 2025, Prager Dreifuss AG ("Prager"), as

Swiss law counsel to 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"), filed its *Third Interim*

*Application of Prager Dreifuss AG, as Swiss Law Counsel, for Compensation and*

*Reimbursement of Expens*es *for the Period from September 19, 2024 through December 31, 2024*

(the "Application") .

**PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE** that the United States Trustee raised certain

concerns regarding the time descriptions set forth on Exhibit C attached to the Application and

the reimbursement of expenses.

**PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE** that, after discussions with the United States

Trustee, Prager has agreed to revise Exhibit C to the Application so as to provide additional time

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 and the Genever Debtor 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).

detail, as requested by the United States Trustee. The revised Exhibit C is attached hereto.² The total amount of fees requested to be allowed pursuant to the Application remains unchanged. Prager understands that the revised Exhibit C resolves the concerns raised by the United States Trustee as it relates to the time descriptions. For the avoidance of doubt, the United States concerns related to the reimbursement of expenses remain unresolved, and, on February 20, 2025, the United States Trustee filed a limited objection to the requested expense reimbursement [Docket No. 4131].

**PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE** that the United States Trustee has brought to the Trustee's attention that, contrary to section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Third Fee Application was filed less than 120 days after the filing of Prager's immediately prior fee application—namely two weeks prior to the expiration of that 120-day period. At the February 25, 2025 hearing on the Application, the Trustee will request that the Court excuse the early filing of the Application (as the Court is permitted to do under section 331). Prager filed the Application two weeks early in an effort to receive payment of the 20% holdback before the March 14, 2025 close of its financing accounting for the year 2024. The Trustee understands that it is administratively burdensome for Prager (and creates additional cost to Prager's auditors) if the 20% holdback were received after that date.
