In support of this Request, the Trustee respectfully states the following:

Although the Trustee has regularly apprised the Court as to relevant developments in these Chapter 11 Cases, his last global update at a status conference was in 2024. Accordingly, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court schedule a status conference on April 22, 2025, at 1 p.m.[2](#page-0-1) At that time, the Trustee will advise the Court regarding developments relevant to these Chapter 11 Cases, including, without limitation, developments in other proceedings (*e.g.*, those pending outside the United States) that may impact these cases. The Trustee respectfully requests that the status conference be held in person.

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.
