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

Pursuant to sections 105(a), 328, 330, and 331 of title 11 of the United States Code (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 *Second Interim Application of Neubert, Pepe and Monteith, P.C., as Local and Conflicts Counsel to the Chapter 11 Trustee and as Counsel to Debtors Genever Holdings Corporation and Genever Holdings LLC, for Allowance of Fees and Reimbursement Expenses for the Period from March 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023* (the "Application"). By this Application, NPM requests interim allowance of professional fees and reimbursement of expenses incurred during the period from

March 1, 2023, through and including June 30, 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.

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

14. 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").

15. 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.

SECOND INTERIM FEE APPLICATION OF PAUL HASTINGS LLP AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

20. Paul Hastings LLP ("Paul Hastings") is lead counsel to the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) in these Chapter 11 Cases. 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) (collectively, the "Genever Debtors").

21. On August 4, 2023, Paul Hastings filed its *Second Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from March 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023* [ECF No. 2051] (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 and the Genever Debtors. To avoid repetition, NPM thus incorporates paragraphs 1-39 of the PH Application herein by reference.

22. 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., preparing, reviewing and revising pleadings, presenting and arguing discovery motions, serving subpoenas and court orders, requesting adjournments and approving 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.

23. This support has both ensured that the Trustee and the Genever Debtors understood and complied with local rules and practices—and has also resulted in substantial administrative cost savings in these Chapter 11 Cases.

24. 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.

25. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of fees in the amount of \$357,587.50 as compensation for services rendered in connection with such services and expenses in the amount of \$10,402.59.

26. The Applicant devoted 897.3 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of \$398.51.

27. 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.

28. 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.

29. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C is a detailed report of costs and expenses incurred by the Applicant during the Application Period.

30. 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 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;

b. 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;

c. 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;

d. 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;

e. 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;

f. assisting the Trustee in the investigation, recovery, marketing, and disposition of estate assets; and

g. negotiating with parties-in-interest.

31. During the Application Period, the following summarizes the services performed by the Applicant as counsel to the Genever Debtors:

a. preparing, reviewing, and revising the monthly operating reports for the Genever Debtors; and

b. corresponding with the Genever (BVI) Director, the U.S. Trustee's office, the Trustee, and co-counsel regarding the monthly operating reports for the Genever Debtors. CATEGORIZATION OF SERVICES AND CATEGORY SUMMARIES

32. 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 the Genever Debtors. All services provided to the Genever Debtors fell within the Case Administration category, and thus this category is divided between services provided to the Trustee and to the respective Genever Debtors. More specifically, the services provided under each category and NPM's summaries of same are as follows: A. Claims Administration: Fees: \$3,230.00 Total Hours: 9.4

- (i) (Trustee): Fees: \$200.00 Total Hours: 0.7 - (ii) (Genever BVI): Fees: \$890.00 Total Hours: 2.8 - (iii) (Genever US): Fees: \$2,140.00 Total Hours: 5.9

33. NPM prepared, reviewed, and revised draft operating reports on behalf of the Genever Debtors. In connection with these services, NPM communicated with the Genever (BVI) Director, the Trustee, and co-counsel at Paul Hastings regarding issues related to the operating reports and bank statements for the Genever (US) account. B. Asset Analysis and Recovery: Fees: \$301,580.00 Total Hours: 755.8

34. NPM performed services to assist the Trustee in investigating and seeking to recover assets for the benefit of the Debtors' chapter 11 estates. 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. NPM has pursued discovery from various parties, including banks, affiliated entities, and individuals to ascertain the extent of Debtor's assets and recover the same for the benefit of Debtor's estate.

36. During this time, NPM's counsel has issued 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 as needed. For example, during the Application Period, NPM prepared and prosecuted a motion to compel compliance by TD Bank, which resulted in the bank's prompt compliance with the Trustee's subpoena. NPM also continued to prosecute the Trustee's motion to compel UBS AG and to negotiate the terms of UBS AG's compliance relating to production of key document discovery. NPM also assisted Paul Hastings with motion practice and at hearings related to motions to compel compliance by the Debtor and his associates.

38. Moreover, during the Application Period, NPM assisted the Trustee and Paul Hastings in the prosecution of numerous adversary proceedings. These include:

a. Adv. Proc. ## 22-05003 (the "HK Adversary Proceeding") and 23-05012 (the "Interpleader Proceeding"). In the HK Adversary Proceeding, during the Application Period, the Trustee obtained summary judgment decisions determining, among other things, that the Lady May and approximately \$37 million in escrow funds are property of the estate. In particular, NPM performed the initial drafting of the summary judgment motion filed by the Trustee in the Interpleader Proceeding to enforce the Trustee's rights under existing summary judgment decisions in the HK Adversary Proceeding.

b. Adv. Proc. # 22-05027 (the "Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings"). In these jointly administered adversary proceedings, the Trustee is pursuing, among other things, declaratory relief to the effect that the Genever Debtors and their property are property of the Debtor's chapter 11 estate notwithstanding claims by the Debtor's son and an associated entity relating to a purported trust agreement. NPM assisted Paul Hastings with motion practice and discovery in the Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings.

c. Adv. Proc. # 23-05002 (the "Sherry Netherland Possession Adversary Proceeding"). This adversary proceeding relates to possession of the Sherry Netherland Hotel. During the Application Period, NPM assisted Paul Hastings in motion practice relating to the scheduling of proceedings and in negotiating a potential resolution of the Sherry Netherland Possession Adversary Proceeding with relevant parties.

d. Adv. Proc. # 23-05008 (the "Mei Guo/Aircraft Adversary Proceeding"). This adversary proceeding relates to the proceeds from the sale of the Debtor's private aircraft. NPM assisted Paul Hastings in the preparation and filing of the Complaint and related papers in the Mei Guo/Aircraft Adversary Proceeding.

e. Adv. Proc. # 23-05013 (the "HCHK Adversary Proceeding"). This adversary proceeding concerns the "HCHK Entities," i.e., entities that the Trustee believes are alter egos of the Debtor that are in possession of more than \$38 million in assets. NPM assisted in the preparation and filing of the Complaint and temporary restraining order/preliminary injunction application papers to obtain injunctive relief that suspended state court proceedings that threatened to dissipate the HCHK Entities' assets. During the Application Period, the Trustee successfully negotiated a settlement with the assignee of the HCHK Entities' assets that provides for important benefits to the estate, including the deposit of over \$38 million of the HCHK Entities' funds into accounts controlled by the Trustee and the assignee's commitment to not oppose the relief sought by the Trustee in the HCHK Adversary Proceeding.

39. At the June 29, 2023 hearing on Paul Hastings' first interim fee application, NPM became aware that counsel for the U.S. Trustee would like professionals to specifically categorize time spent on various adversary proceedings. On June 30, 2023, NPM's counsel conferred with

counsel for the U.S. Trustee and confirmed that this request applied to NPM as well as Paul Hastings. NPM has agreed to categorize its time entries as between the foregoing adversary proceedings (and other adversary proceedings, as applicable) starting July 1, 2023 and, indeed, is presently recording time subject to such categorization. C. Asset Disposition: Fees: Fees: \$22,272.50 Total Hours: 57.2

40. NPM performed services assisting the Trustee and Paul Hastings in the sale and disposition of estate assets, including the Lady May. By order dated June 27, 2023 [ECF No. 1953], this Court approved the sale of the Lady May, a 46-meter Feadship marine vessel for the sale price of \$23,150,000.00.

41. NPM assisted in the preparation of the sale procedures, communication with interested parties, and preparation for and attendance at sale hearings. D. Retention and Fee Applications: Fees: \$30,505.00 Total Hours: 74.9

42. NPM has assisted the Trustee and Paul Hastings in preparing and prosecuting a number of retention and fee applications during the Application Period.

43. As an initial matter, during the Application Period, NPM prepared and prosecuted two applications for its own services and incurred expenses provided in these Chapter 11 Cases, i.e., the initial Reimbursement Application and then, when funds were available for the payment of professional fees, the First Interim Application. NPM also assisted Paul Hastings with procedural matters involving Paul Hastings' applications for reimbursement of expenses and compensation.

44. NPM's professionals also performed the initial drafting of the Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee and Genever Debtors for Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation

and Reimbursement of Expenses for Retained Professionals [ECF No. 2002] to create procedures for the orderly payment of professionals going forward.

45. Various other tasks fall under this project category as well, including motion practice relating to fees ordered to be paid by Mei Guo, HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC, Attorney Lee Vartan, and the law firm Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC, assistance with a retention application for professionals with respect to operation of the Lady May, motion practice with respect to a public adjuster, and attendance at various hearings on retention and fee applications.

46. 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.

47. 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.

48. 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.

49. 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. § 327 "reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered" and "reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses." 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1).5

50. 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 Communications Systems, Inc., 395 B.R. 512, 516 (D. Conn. 2008).

51. 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. 488 F.2d 714 (5th Cir. 1974) (abrogated on other grounds by Blanchard v. Bergeron, 489 U.S. 87

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).

[1989]), 6 while also bearing in mind that a "reasonable, paying client wishes to spend the minimum necessary to litigate the case effectively." 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). 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").

52. 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.

55. 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

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.

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).

service in these cases, except as so provided by Section 504(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule

2016 of the Bankruptcy Rules.

56. 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

did you discuss the reasons for the variation with the client. Response: Not applicable. 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. However, the Application does include

hours and associated fees of approximately

related to preparing, reviewing, and revising NPM's

statements and ensuring time entries are properly categorized by matter number and task code. On average, less than two

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: (i) Did your client review and approve those rate increases in advance? (ii) Did your client agree when retaining the law firm to accept all future rates increases? If not, did you inform your client that they need not agree to modified rates or terms in order to have you continue the representation consistent with ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 11-458? - 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. [ECF No. 1258].

57. 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.

58. While this Application seeks allowance of all fees incurred during the Application Period, at the request of counsel for the U.S. Trustee and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, NPM has agreed with the U.S. Trustee and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors to only seek payment of 80% of the fees incurred during the Application Period, with a 20% holdback to be withheld by the Debtors' estates pending further order of the Court.

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

[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]

WHEREFORE, NPM respectfully requests entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, (i) allowing interim compensation for professional services rendered during the Application Period in the amount of \$357,587.50, (ii) allowing compensation for expenses incurred in the amount of \$10,402.59, (iii) authorizing and directing prompt payment from the chapter 11 estate of the Individual Debtor (except as to any amounts subject to a holdback), (iv) allowing such compensation and payment for professional services rendered without prejudice to NPM's right to seek further compensation and/or payment from the Debtors' estates for the full value of services performed and expenses incurred, and/or to seek release of any amounts that are subject to a holdback, and (v) granting NPM such other and further relief as is just.
