ATTACHMENT TO MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT FOR THE PERIOD SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

This attachment is incorporated into and made a part of the Monthly Operating Report ("MOR") of Chapter 11 Trustee Luc A. Despins.
General Disclaimers

- 1. The MOR is presented on a form promulgated in 2021 by the Executive Office of the United States Trustee. This form in many instances requires inserting a number for a line item even if the line item does not apply. The form also does not allow for the insertion of explanations or asterisks next to answers. Accordingly, as presented, certain responses may be inapplicable or incomplete. Following guidance from the United States Trustee's office, this attachment is being filed as an integral part of the MOR.
- 2. On July 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court signed an order approving the appointment of Luc A. Despins, Esq. as Chapter 11 Trustee (the "Trustee"). The information in this MOR is based only on information beginning on the date of the Trustee's appointment and only on bank accounts within the Trustee's control.[1]
- 3. The Trustee reserves the rights to amend, modify or supplement this MOR or update it in future MORs.
Specific Responses
Part 1 Responses

property of the estate at this time. There are various on-going litigations with respect to the funds held by the Trustee, which, if finally determined in a manner adverse to the Trustee, would materially reduce the total amount of cash held by the Trustee at this time. In addition, cash disbursements included here do not reflect payments made pursuant to the *Order (I) Authorizing Chapter 11 Trustee to Extend Financing Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 363, (II) Authorizing Genever US and Genever BVI to Obtain Post-Petition Financing Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 264, (III) Granting Non-Priming Liens and Providing Superpriority Administrative Expense Claims, (IV) Modifying Automatic Stay, and (V) Granting Related Relief*, entered on September 12, 2023 [Dkt. 2193], which authorized the Kwok estate to finance expenses of the Genever entities, which are described in the summary of cash receipts and disbursements.
Part 2 Responses

- 5. To the extent this section is applicable (the Debtor is an individual), the Trustee has insufficient information to complete this section. The Trustee's counsel is currently reviewing the over 1,200 proofs of claim filed in connection with the claims bar date, which occurred on February 17, 2023.
- 6. The Trustee is aware of certain professional fees and expenses that have arisen in connection with services provided by the Trustee's professionals. As of the end of the reporting period, certain interim applications for reimbursement of expenses have been approved by the Court pursuant to various orders approving interim fee applications and as set forth in the Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Retained Professionals, entered on August 18, 2023 [Docket No. 2094].
Part 3 Responses

7. On June 27, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing and approving the sale of the Lady May [Docket No. 1953]. On December 19, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing and approving the sale of the Lady May II [Docket No. 2449]. On June 20, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered an amended order [Docket No. 3265] authorizing and approving the liquidation of shares of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. held by Reverence Capital Partners Opportunities Fund I (Cayman) L.P. and the distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation, as discussed in the Trustee' s related motion [Docket No. 3203] and report of results of sale [Docket No. 3372].

- 10. The Trustee is aware of a number of professional firms that have provided services to the official committee of unsecured creditors or the Debtor (prior to the appointment of the Trustee) but that have not at this time had their retentions approved by the Court. The Trustee includes such professional firms (of which he is aware) in this part of the MOR out of an abundance of caution but reserves all his rights with respect to the retention and/or payment of fees with respect to such professional firms. The Trustee also notes that the Debtor may have employed professionals (prior to the appointment of the Trustee) of which the Trustee is not aware.
Part 6 Responses

11. The Trustee is not aware of any postpetition taxes that have accrued during the time period since the Trustee's appointment.
