## **NOTICE REGARDING MOVE OF PAUL WRIGHT, UK BARRISTER TO TRUSTEE, FROM 9 STONE BUILDINGS TO SELBORNE CHAMBERS**

**PLEASE TAKE NOTICE** that, on September 14, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the Trustee's retention and employment of Paul Wright as his barrister in the United Kingdom, effective as of November 1, 2022 [Docket No. 1240] (the "Retention Order"). At the time of his retention, Mr. Wright was a member of 9 Stone Buildings Barristers' Chambers, Lincoln's Inn, London WC2A 3NN, United Kingdom. [2](#page-0-1)

**PLEASE TAKE NOTICE** that, in September 2024, the members of 9 Stone Buildings decided to dissolve their chambers and continue their practices in other chambers.

The aforementioned move by Mr. Weight will not affect the terms of his retention by the Trustee, as approved by the Court in the Retention Order.
