Debtor. :

----------------------------------------------------------- x **APPLICATION OF NEUBERT, PEPE & MONTEITH, P.C., FOR INTERIM ALLOWANCE OF COMPENSATION AS LOCAL AND CONFLICTS COUNSEL TO THE CHAPTER 11 TRUSTEE AND AS COUNSEL TO DEBTORS GENEVER HOLDINGS CORPORATON AND GENEVER HOLDINGS LLC**

Pursuant to sections 105(a), 328, 330, and 331 of title 11 of the United States Code (such title, hereinafter, the "Bankruptcy Code"), Rule 2016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules"), and Rule 2016-1 of the Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the "Local Rules"), Neubert, Pepe, and Monteith, P.C. ("NPM"), as local and conflicts counsel to Luc A. Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") appointed in the chapter 11 case (the "Chapter 11 Case") of Ho Wan Kwok (the "Individual Debtor"), and as counsel to the Debtors, Genever Holdings Corporation ("Genever (BVI)") and Genever Holdings LLC ("Genever (US)") in their chapter 11 cases (together with the "Chapter 11 Case," collectively, the "Chapter 11 Cases"), hereby files this *First Interim Application of Neubert, Pepe, and Monteith, P.C., as Local and Conflicts Counsel to the Chapter 11 Trustee and as Counsel to the Debtors Genever Holdings Corporation and Genever Holdings LLC, for Allowance of Fees for the Period from July 8, 2022 through February 28, 2023* (the "Application")2 . By this Application, NPM requests interim

2 NPM filed its First Interim Application for Reimbursement of Expenses in the amount of \$13,147.70 for the same

allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from July 8, 2022 through and including February 28, 2023 (the "Application Period") in these Chapter 11 Cases. In support of this Application, NPM respectfully states as follows: JURISDICTION, VENUE, BASES FOR RELIEF, AND COMPLIANCE

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 matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

2. The legal predicates for the relief requested herein are sections 328, 330, and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 2016, and Local Rule 2016-1.3

3. NPM believes that this Application, together with the attachments hereto, substantially complies with the Bankruptcy Rules, Local Rule 2016-1, and the *United States Trustee's Guidelines for Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses Filed Under 11 U.S.C. § 330 by Attorneys in Larger Chapter 11 Cases* (the "U.S. Trustee Guidelines").4 NPM respectfully requests a waiver of any of the foregoing requirements not met by this Application.

- 4. Attached and incorporated herein by reference are the following Exhibits: - Exhibit A contains the Proposed Order granting this Application. - Exhibit B contains time entries with respect to the legal services provided organized by category (as discussed below).

period by Application dated April 18, 2023 [ECF No. 1674] (the "Expense Application"). On May 5, 2023, this Court entered an Ordered Approving the Application for Interim Expenses in the amount of \$13,064.04 [ECF No. 1769].

3 At this time, no interim compensation procedures have been approved by the Court.

4 NPM reserves all rights as to the relevance and substantive legal effect of the U.S. Trustee Guidelines with respect to any application for compensation in these chapter 11 cases.

5. On February 15, 2022 (the "Petition Date"), the Individual Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (Bridgeport Division) (the "Court").

6. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") in the Chapter 11 Case. No examiner has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.

7. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [ECF No. 465] (the "Trustee Order") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case of Ho Wan Kwok.

8. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case of Ho Wan Kwok.

9. By order entered August 2, 2022, the Court authorized NPM's retention as local and conflicts counsel for the Trustee [ECF No. 669] (the "Retention Order") effective as of July 8, 2022 in the Chapter 11 Case. The Retention Order authorizes NPM to be compensated on an hourly basis and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to sections 328 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and such orders as the Court may direct.

10. Because the Individual Debtor's estate possessed limited funds, NPM has, to date, sought only reimbursement of expenses incurred in the course of its representation of the Trustee as local and conflicts counsel [ECF No. 1674].

11. On October 11, 2022, Genever (BVI) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with this Court.

12. No trustee, examiner, or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case.

13. October 14, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case and Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case [ECF No. 970].

14. On November 17, 2022, the Court granted Genever (BVI)'s application to retain NPM as counsel to Genever (BVI) in its chapter 11 case, effective as of its petition date, i.e., October 11, 2022 [ECF No. 1107].

15. On October 12, 2020, Genever (US) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "SDNY Bankruptcy Court"), thereby commencing case number 20-12411 (JLG) (the "SDNY Bankruptcy Case").

16. On November 3, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered an order [ECF No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592] transferring the venue of the SDNY Bankruptcy Case to this Court, which assigned it Case Number 22-50592.

17. On November 21, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Genever (US) chapter 11 case with the jointly administered cases of the Individual Debtor and the Genever (BVI) Debtor's chapter 11 case [ECF No. 1141] (the Individual Debtor, Genever (BVI) and Genever (US) may hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "Debtors").

18. On November 30, 2022, the Court granted Genever (US)'s application to retain NPM as counsel to Genever (US) in its chapter 11 case, effective as of the order transferring venue of the SDNY Bankruptcy Case to this Court, i.e., November 3, 2022 [ECF No. 1177]. INTERIM FEE APPLICATION OF PAUL HASTINGS LLP AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

19. Paul Hastings LLP ("Paul Hastings") is lead counsel to the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) in these Chapter 11 Case. As discussed herein, throughout the course of these Chapter 11 Cases, NPM has worked cooperatively with Paul Hastings as Connecticut counsel and conflicts counsel to the Trustee and as co-counsel with respect to Genever (BVI) and Genever (US).

20. On May 30, 2023, Paul Hastings filed its *Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from July 8, 2022 through February 28, 2023* [ECF No. 1831] (the "PH Application"). The PH Application contains extensive discussion of the history of these Chapter 11 Cases and the nature of legal services performed for the Trustee, Genever (BVI) and Genever (US). To avoid repetition, NPM thus incorporates paragraphs 1-124 of the PH Application herein by reference.

21. In the interest of efficiency and reducing administrative expense, throughout the Trustee's investigation and asset-recovery efforts, and the administration of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Trustee and Paul Hastings have requested and NPM has performed legal services with respect to substantive, administrative and procedural issues (e.g., preparation, review and revisions of pleadings, presentation and argument of discovery motions, service of subpoenas and court orders, requesting adjournments and approval of stipulations, preparing monthly operating reports, interacting with clerks' offices and chambers and coordinating logistics for hearings, and attending to other case administration functions as they arise). NPM's counsel has also advised with respect

to this district's local rules and practices and has assisted the Trustee at court hearings throughout these Chapter 11 Cases.

22. This support has both ensured that the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) understood and complied with local rules and practices – and has also resulted in substantial administrative cost savings in these Chapter 11 Cases.

23. The Applicant is applying for compensation pursuant to Sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code for legal services performed for the Trustee, Genever (BVI) and Genever (US) during the Application Period.

24. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of \$561,718.50 as compensation for services rendered in connection with such services.

25. The Applicant devoted 1611 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of \$348.68.

26. Throughout the Application Period, the Applicant maintained records to indicate the name of each attorney or paraprofessional working on this matter, the time spent on a particular issue, and the nature of the work performed. These records, which describe in detail the services rendered by the Applicant, were created at the approximate time the services were performed.

27. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B is a detailed billing report, broken down by project category, upon which this application is based that contains each individual professional's time for the Debtors' bankruptcy proceedings, itemizing the dates upon which services were rendered, including a summary of the services on each of such dates by each person rendering the service, the time spent in rendering such service, and the dollar value of such services.

28. During the Application Period, the following summarizes the services provided by the Applicant on behalf of the Trustee:

a. advising the Trustee as to his rights, powers, and duties as chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Cases;

b. advising the Trustee as to his investigation into the property of the Individual Debtor's estate, including his pursuit of actions to collect and recover property for the benefit of the Individual Debtor's estate;

c. commencing, conducting, and/or continuing litigation necessary and appropriate to assert rights held by the Individual Debtor's estate, protect assets of the Individual Debtor's estate, or otherwise further the goal of completing the Chapter 11 Case;

d. preparing and reviewing on behalf of the Trustee necessary and appropriate applications, motions, proposed orders, other pleadings, notices, schedules, and other documents, and reviewing financial and other reports filed and to be filed in the Chapter 11 Case;

e. advising the Trustee concerning, and preparing responses to, applications, motions, other pleadings, notices, and other papers that may be filed by other parties in the Chapter 11 Case;

f. reviewing the nature and validity of any liens asserted against the property in these Chapter 11 Cases and advising the Trustee concerning the enforceability of any liens; Case 22-50073 Doc 1851 Filed 06/01/23 Entered 06/01/23 21:53:44 Page 10 of 191

g. advising the Trustee concerning executory contract and unexpired lease assignments and rejections;

h. assisting the Trustee in reviewing, claims asserted against the Debtor's estate; and

i. negotiating with parties-in-interest.

29. During the Application Period, the following summarizes the services performed by the Applicant as counsel to Genever (BVI) and Genever (US) (jointly, the "Genever Debtors"):

a. researching, preparing and filing the petition for reorganization for Genever (BVI);

b. advising the Trustee and the Genever (BVI) director appointed by the Trustee regarding their responsibilities in connection with Chapter 11 filing by Genever (BVI);

c. preparing the schedule of 20 largest unsecured creditors for Genever (BVI) and all first day motions filed by Genever (BVI);

d. preparing draft and final bankruptcy schedules and statement of financial affairs for Genever (BVI) and reviewing the schedules and statement of financial affairs with the Chapter 11 Trustee and Genever (BVI) director;

e. obtaining joint administration of the Genever Debtors together with the Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case; and

f. preparing and reviewing the monthly operating reports for the Genever Debtors.

30. As is its practice as counsel to trustees or debtors in chapter 11 cases, NPM has organized its time by category in respect to the nature of the services it provided to the Trustee and to the Genever Debtors, as follows:

A. Case Administration: Fees: \$43,193.50 Total Hours: 147.80

31. NPM performed services to assist the Trustee in administering the Individual Debtor's estate and to assist the Genever Debtors in administering their chapter 11 estates.

32. In the Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case, this included, among other things, searching for conflicts, responding to inquiries by the United States Trustee, reviewing schedules and other case filings prior to the appointment of the Trustee, responding to questions from Paul Hastings with respect to local rules and practices, and preparing for and attending certain status conferences.

33. Additionally, in the Genever Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases, NPM's services included work on Genever (BVI)'s petition and schedules, counseling Genever (BVI)'s independent director with respect to that debtor's chapter 11 filing, the initial debtor interview and the section 341 creditors' meeting, obtaining joint administration of the Genever Debtors' chapter 11 cases together with the Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case, and attending to issues with respect to insurance coverage and maintenance costs in the Genever (US) case.

B. Asset Analysis and Recovery: Fees \$423,609.50 Total Hours: 1,190.90

34. NPM performed services to assist the Trustee and the Genever Debtors in investigating and seeking to recover assets for the benefit of the Debtors' chapter 11 estates. Indeed, and as discussed in the PH Application, considering the state of the Individual Debtor's Case 22-50073 Doc 1851 Filed 06/01/23 Entered 06/01/23 21:53:44 Page 12 of 191

schedules and his prior conduct, the Trustee has undertaken a broad-ranging investigation of assets that the Individual Debtor has sought to shield from his creditors.

35. Much of the Trustee's investigation has taken the form of Bankruptcy Rule 2004 examinations. At the outset of its involvement in the Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case, NPM assisted the Trustee and Paul Hastings in the preparation of three omnibus motions seeking approval of Bankruptcy Rule 2004 examinations of numerous persons and entities associated with the Individual Debtor or that did business with the Individual Debtor or that otherwise may have information to assist the Trustee's investigation. Over seven months, NPM further assisted in preparing, filing, and prosecuting five additional omnibus motions for Bankruptcy Rule 2004 discovery.

36. During this time, NPM's counsel has issued many dozens of Bankruptcy Rule 2004 subpoenas and has assisted in obtaining and in reviewing documents and information produced in response thereto. In this process, NPM has served as conflicts counsel with respect to examinees where Paul Hastings has had conflicts (including numerous financial institutions and technology companies.)

37. Some examinees have resisted compliance with the Trustee's Bankruptcy Rule 2004 subpoenas and NPM took appropriate action for the Trustee to obtain compliance. Indeed, NPM prepared, filed, and, when necessary, argued motions to compel with respect to UBS AG ("UBS") [ECF No. 1362], JPMorgan Chase N.A. [ECF No. 1303], TD Bank N.A. [ECF No. 1539], and others.

38. Finally, NPM has assisted the Trustee and Paul Hastings in prosecuting numerous adversary proceedings, including causes of action and applications for prejudgment remedies and injunctive relief. As discussed in the PH Application, these adversary proceedings have brought Case 22-50073 Doc 1851 Filed 06/01/23 Entered 06/01/23 21:53:44 Page 13 of 191

assets worth more than \$50 million into the Individual Debtor's estate – and they are likely to recover substantial additional value as these Chapter 11 Cases continue to progress.

C. Fee/Employment Applications: Fees \$26,301.00 Total Hours: 82.20

39. NPM has prepared applications authorizing its employment in each of the Chapter 11 Cases, all of which have been granted by the Court. NPM has also assisted and advised with respect to local rules and practice in the preparation of applications for the employment of Paul Hastings [ECF No. 539], for counsel in the British Virgin Islands [ECF No. 1247] and the United Kingdom [ECF No. 1183], a public insurance adjuster [ECF No. 1749], and others. NPM has also prepared motions for the admission of Paul Hastings attorneys pro hac vice.

D. Other Contested Matters: Fees \$65,360.50 Total Hours: 173.50

40. NPM has assisted the Trustee with other contested matters in these Chapter 11 Cases (i.e., apart from those primarily premised on asset recovery). These include reviewing the numerous non-dischargeability adversary proceedings that were pending in the Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case at the time that the Trustee was appointed. Ultimately, to focus resources on immediate priorities, NPM assisted the Trustee in obtaining a Court order staying these adversary proceedings [ECF No. 1024]. NPM also assisted the Trustee and Paul Hastings in responding to unsuccessful efforts by the Individual Debtor to obtain the Trustee's removal.

E. Claims Administration and Objections: Fees \$3,250.00 Total Hours: 16.00

41. NPM has assisted the Trustee in preparing motions and other filings to set and modify the bar date and procedures governing submission and administration of proofs of claim in the Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case.

42. No prior application for the relief requested has been made, provided however, that the Applicant had filed the Expense Application with respect to the Application Period.

43. All of the professional services for which this award is being sought hereby were rendered solely on behalf of the Trustee and Genever Debtors in connection with the chapter 11 proceedings herein.

44. Applicant respectfully submits that its services have benefited the Trustee and the Genever Debtors with the expertise and skill required in the handling of bankruptcy matters. The legal services for which such compensation is requested were performed for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Genever Debtors. Such services have been necessary to protect and enforce the rights and interests of the Trustee and the Genever Debtors in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. The reasonable value of services rendered by NPM in these proceedings is based upon NPM's usual hourly rates for matters of this nature.

45. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code prescribes the general standards for determining the amount of compensation to be paid to professionals. The Applicant submits that the amount sought for the Application Period represents reasonable compensation for professional services rendered based upon the time spent, the nature, the extent, and the value of such services, taking into account the cost of comparable services in a non-bankruptcy case.

46. Section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for interim compensation of professionals and incorporates the substantive standards of section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code to govern the Court's award of such compensation. Section 330(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that, after notice and a hearing, the Court may award a professional employed under 11 U.S.C. § Case 22-50073 Doc 1851 Filed 06/01/23 Entered 06/01/23 21:53:44 Page 15 of 191

327 "reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered" and "reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses." 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1).5

47. In determining the amount of "reasonable compensation," the Court must consider the nature, extent, and value of the services, taking into account all the relevant factors, including the time spent on such services, the rates charged for such services, whether the services were necessary and beneficial, whether the services were performed in a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed, and whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3). The Court enjoys "considerable discretion in determining reasonable fee awards." In re Ahead Communication Systems, Inc., 395 B.R. 512 (D. Conn. 2008).

48. In assessing the "reasonableness" of the fees requested, the Second Circuit has stated that courts should consider the factors enumerated in Johnson v. Ga. Highway Express, Inc., 6 while also incorporating the "lodestar method." See Arbor Hill Concerned Citizens Neighborhood Ass'n v. County of Albany and Albany County Bd. of Elections, 522 F.3d 182, 190 (2d Cir. 2007) (citing Johnson v. Ga. Highway Express, Inc., 488 F.2d 714 (5th Cir.1974), abrogated on other grounds by Blanchard v. Bergeron, 489 U.S. 87, 92–93, 96 (1989)). The "lodestar method" of calculating the reasonable fee contemplates "the number of hours reasonably

5 Under section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, with bankruptcy court approval, a trustee may employ professional persons under section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code "on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee basis." 11 U.S.C. § 328(a).

6 The twelve Johnson factors are (1) the time and labor required, (2) the novelty and difficulty of the questions, (3) the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly, (4) the preclusion of other employment by the attorney due to acceptance of the case, (5) the customary fee, (6) whether the fee is fixed or contingent, (7) the time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances, (8) the amount involved and the results obtained, (9) the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys, (10) the "undesirability" of the case, (11) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client, and (12) awards in similar cases. Johnson, 488 F.2d at 717-19. Case 22-50073 Doc 1851 Filed 06/01/23 Entered 06/01/23 21:53:44 Page 16 of 191

expended . . . multiplied by a reasonable hourly rate." See Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 433 (1983); Gisbrecht v. Barnhart, 535 U.S. 789, 801 (2002); Perdue v. Kenny A., 130 S.Ct. 1662, 1672 (2010); In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Grp., Inc., 133 B.R. 13 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1991). The factors set forth in Johnson and In re First Colonial Corp. of Am., 544 F.2d 1291, 1298–99 (5th Cir. 1977) have been adopted by most courts.7 See In re Nine Assocs., Inc., 76 B.R. 943, 945 (S.D.N.Y. 1987) (adopting First Colonial/Johnson analysis); In re Cuisine Magazine, Inc., 61 B.R. 210, 212–13 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y 1986) (same); Green v. City of New York, 403 F. Appx. 626, 629 (2d Cir. 2010) (summary order); see generally 3 COLLIER ON BANKRUPTCY ¶ 330.03[9] (Lawrence P. King ed., 16th ed. 2016) (describing First Colonial and Johnson as the "leading cases with regard to the factors to be considered in determining a reasonable allowance of compensation").

49. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable case law, the amount requested herein by NPM is fair and reasonable.

29. No agreement or understanding exists between NPM and any other person for the sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection with this matter. NPM will not, in any form or guise, share or agree to share compensation for services with any person, nor will NPM share in the compensation for any other person rendering service in these cases, except as so provided by Section 504(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 2016 of the Bankruptcy Rules.

7 The factors articulated in First Colonial were first articulated by the Fifth Circuit in Johnson, with the First Colonial court adding the factor of the "spirit of economy," which was later rejected by Congress. See Stroock & Stroock & Lavan v. Hillsborough Holdings Corp. (In re Hillsborough Holdings Corp.), 127 F.3d 1398, 1403 (11th Cir. 1997).

30. NPM responds to the questions set forth in Paragraph C.5. of the U.S. Trustee

Guidelines as follows:

Question: Did you agree to any variations from, or alternatives to, your standard or customary billing rates, fees, or terms for services pertaining to this engagement that were provided during the

Period?

Response: No. Question: If the fees sought in this application as compared to the fees

Question: Have any of the professionals included in this application varied their hourly rate based on the geographic location of the bankruptcy case? Response: No. Question: Does the application include time or fees related to reviewing or revising time records or preparing, reviewing, or revising invoices? (This is limited to work involved in preparing and editing billing records that would not be compensable outside of bankruptcy and does not include reasonable fees for preparing a fee application.) If so, please quantify by hours and fees. Response: The Application does not include time for preparing, reviewing, or revising time records. Question: Does this application include time or fees for reviewing time records to redact any privileged or other confidential information? If so, please quantify by hours and fees. Response: No. Question: If the application includes any rate increases since retention:

Response: As is customary, NPM adjusts its hourly rates periodically based upon (i) the advancing seniority of its professionals and paraprofessionals, (ii) the current market for legal services, (iii) the rates charged for comparable non‐bankruptcy services, and (iv) the firm's analysis of the hourly rates being charged by professionals in other law firms. Effective January 1, 2023, NPM adjusted its hourly rates consistent with the Retention Order [Docket No. 668] and the Notice of Change in Hourly Rates of Neubert, Pepe & Monteith, P.C. [Docket No. 1258].

To the extent that time or disbursement charges for services rendered or expenses incurred during the Application Period are not included in this Application, or NPM has for any reason not sought compensation or reimbursement with respect to such services, NPM reserves the right to request compensation and reimbursement for such services in a supplemental or future application in these Chapter 11 Cases. Also, NPM does not waive, and expressly reserves, its right to respond to any objections regarding this Application and the amounts sought for services rendered and expenses incurred.

32. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court.
