-------------------------------------------------------------- x MONTHLY FEE STATEMENT OF PAUL HASTINGS LLP FOR COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES FOR PERIOD FROM APRIL 1, 2024 THROUGH APRIL 30, 2024
In accordance with the Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and
Reimbursement of Expenses for Retained Professionals, dated August 18, 2023 [Docket No.
2094] (the "Interim Compensation Order"),2 Paul Hastings LLP ("Paul Hastings") hereby submits this monthly statement (the "Monthly Fee Statement") seeking compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred as counsel to (a) Luc A. Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") appointed in the chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok (the "Individual Debtor"), (b) Genever Holdings Corporation ("Genever (BVI)"), and (c) Genever Holdings LLC ("Genever (US)" and, together with Genever (BVI), the "Genever Debtors"), for the period from April 1, 2024 through and including April 30, 2024 (the "Fee Period"), other than for services render and expenses incurred related to the Trustee's civil RICO
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 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Interim Compensation Order.
complaint, Adv. Proc. 24-5273 (the "RICO Adversary Proceeding").3 By this Monthly Fee Statement, Paul Hastings respectfully requests payment of 80% of all fees (minus a credit4 of 103,706.85) and 100% of all expenses (minus a credit of \$3,422.52) actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the Fee Period (other than with respect to the RICO Adversary Proceeding), in the amounts of \$876,115.955 and \$61,147.90,6 respectively.
1. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a timekeeper summary that includes the name, title, department, bar admission, hourly billing rate, aggregate hours, and amount of fees earned for each Paul Hastings individual who provided services during the Fee Period. The rates charged by Paul Hastings for services rendered to the Committee are the same rates that Paul Hastings charges generally for professional services rendered to its non-bankruptcy clients, except that the Trustee's hourly rate has been reduced to \$1,975.00 (compared to his standard hourly rate of \$2,225.00).7
3 At this time, Paul Hastings is not seeking payment for services related to the RICO Adversary Proceeding (which services have been recorded under Matter Number 00025), but will do so in the future, whether as part of subsequent fee statements or in connection with its interim fee applications.
4 As detailed in the order granting Paul Hastings' fifth interim fee application [Docket No. 3357] (the "Fifth Interim Fee Order"), Paul Hastings is including, as part of this Monthly Fee Statement a credit in the amount of \$107,129.37, which amount reflects the difference between (a) the fees previously paid to Paul Hastings pursuant the Interim Compensation Order for services rendered during the months of January through March 2024 (i.e., \$3,595,941.24) and (b) the fees that the estates are authorized to pay pursuant to paragraph 3 of the Fifth Interim Fee Order (i.e., \$3,488,811.87). Of that \$107,129.37 credit, \$103,706.85 relates to a reduction in fees, and \$3,422.52 related to a reduction in expenses.
5 This amount is the difference between 80% of the fees incurred for services render during the Fee Period (i.e., \$979,822.80) and the aforementioned \$103,706.85 credit.
6 This amount is the difference between the expenses incurred during the Fee Period (i.e., \$64,570.42) and the aforementioned \$3,422.52 credit.
7 At the fee application stage, Paul Hastings will also consider not seeking allowance and payment for fees of timekeepers, who, during the relevant fee application period, billed less than a certain number of hours (as it has done in prior fee applications)
2. Attached hereto as Exhibit B and Exhibit C are summaries of Paul Hastings' services rendered and compensation sought for the Fee Period, by project category and Matter ID, respectively, for the Fee Period.
3. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a summary of expenses incurred and reimbursement sought, by expense type, for the Fee Period.
4. Attached hereto as Exhibit E are the fee statements of Paul Hastings for services provided during the Fee Period.
5. Notice of this Monthly Fee Statement will be given by email on the Notice Parties: (i) Luc A. Despins, as chapter 11 trustee for the estate of Ho Wan Kwok (lucdespins@paulhastings.com); (ii) Counsel for the Trustee, (x) Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166 (Attn: G.

7. If no objections to this Monthly Fee Statement are filed and received by the Notice Parties on or before the Objection Deadline, the estates shall promptly pay Paul Hastings 80% of the fees and 100% of the expenses identified in this Monthly Fee Statement.
