THIRD INTERIM FEE APPLICATION OF PRAGER DREIFUSS AG, AS SWISS LAW COUNSEL, FOR COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES FOR PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2024

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"), 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"), and the *Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Retained Professionals, dated August 18, 2023* [Docket No. 2094] (the "Interim Compensation Procedures Order"), Prager Dreifuss AG ("Prager" or the "Applicant"), as Swiss law counsel for Luc A.

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.

Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).

(the "Application"). By this Application, Prager requests interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from September 19, 2024 through and including December 31, 2024 (the "Application Period"). In support of this Application, Prager 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 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 2016, and Local Rule 2016-1.

	- Exhibit A contains the Proposed Order granting this Application.
	- Exhibit B is a timekeeper summary that includes the name, hourly billing rate, aggregate hours, and amount of fees earned for each Prager individual who provided services during the Application Period; and
	- Exhibit C contains the detail of the fees and expenses incurred during the Application Period.

2 Prager 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.
BACKGROUND
I. 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 Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. No examiner has been appointed in the Individual Debtor's 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 Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case.

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 Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case.

9. By order entered March 21, 2024, the Court authorized Prager's retention as Swiss law counsel to the Trustee [Docket No. 3034] (the "Retention Order") effective as of January 17, 2024 in the Debtor's chapter 11 case. The Retention Order authorizes Prager 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. In accordance with the Retention Order, (a) Prager is authorized to charge a flat fee for disbursements in an amount equal to 2% of the total fees charged and (b) Prager is authorized to invoice its fees and expenses in Swiss Francs (CHF)
and to have such fees and expenses paid in Swiss Francs (CHF), subject to the terms of the Interim Compensation Order.

10. On June 24, 2024, Prager filed its *First Interim Fee Application of Prager Dreifuss AG, as Swiss Law Counsel, for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Period from January 17, 2024 Through April 30, 2024* [Docket No. 3281] (the "First Interim Fee Application") requesting interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from January 17, 2024 through and including April 30, 2024. On July 23, 2024, the Court granted the First Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 3346].

11. On October 15, 2024, Prager filed its *Second Interim Fee Application of Prager Dreifuss AG, as Swiss Law Counsel, for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Period from May 1, 2024 Through September 30, 2024* [Docket No. 3698] (the "Second Interim Fee Application") requesting interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from May 1, 2024 through and including September 30, 2024. On November 13, 2024, the Court granted the Second Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 3812].
II. Monthly Fee Statements

12. On August 18, 2023, the Court entered the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, which, among other things, approves procedures for the payment of 80% of fees and 100% of expenses on a monthly basis.

13. On November 4, 2024, Prager filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 3780] (the "October Fee Statement") requesting payment of 80% of all fees and 100% of all expenses actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the period from September 19, 2024 through October 31, 2024, in the amounts of CHF 75,441.00 (80% of CHF 94,301.25) and CHF 10,431.00, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the
October Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid Prager CHF 85,872.00 for fees and expenses with respect to the October Fee Statement.

14. On December 5, 2024, Prager filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 3863] (the "November Fee Statement") requesting payment of 80% of all fees and 100% of all expenses actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the period from November 1, 2024 through November 30, 2024, in the amounts of CHF 95,021.00 (80% of CHF 118,776.25) and CHF 2,420.50, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the November Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid Prager CHF 97,441.50 for fees and expenses with respect to the November Fee Statement.

15. On January 22, 2025, Prager filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 3995] (the "December Fee Statement") requesting payment of 80% of all fees and 100% of all expenses actually and necessarily incurred for services rendered during the period from December 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, in the amounts of CHF 51,874.00 (80% of CHF 64,842.50) and CHF 1,296.85, respectively. The deadline to object to the December Fee Statement is February 12, 2025. Accordingly, at this time, the estate has not yet paid Prager for fees and expenses with respect to the December Fee Statement, but the Trustee intends to do so, in accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order.
ALLOWANCE REQUEST

16. The Applicant is applying for compensation pursuant to Sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code for legal services performed for the Trustee during the Application Period.

17. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of CHF 277,920.00 as compensation for services rendered and allowance and reimbursement of CHF 14,148.35 in
expenses incurred in connection with such services. The Applicant devoted 755.25 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of CHF 367.98.

18. As noted, Prager has already received payment of CHF 170,462.00 of the fees incurred during the Application Period and CHF 12,851.50 of the expenses incurred during the Application Period, such that Prager is only seeking payment of (a) 80% of the fees and 100% of the expenses incurred on the December Fee Statement, i.e., CHF 53,170.85,3 and (b) the remaining 20% of its fees incurred during the Application Period, namely CHF 55,584.00.

19. Throughout the Application Period, the Applicant maintained records to indicate the name of each professional 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.

20. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C is a detailed billing report, upon which this application is based that contains each individual professional's time for the Debtor's bankruptcy case, 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 CHF value of such services. The time detail attached hereto as Exhibit C include certain redactions to protect against the disclosure of privileged or confidential information.
SUMMARY OF SERVICES RENDERED

21. The Trustee retained Prager, effective as of January 17, 2024, principally to assist the Trustee in investigating and recovering property of the estate located in Switzerland. After

3 For the avoidance of doubt, the estate will pay this amount upon the expiration of the February 12, 2025 objection deadline with respect to the December Fee Statement, provided no objections are filed with respect to that fee statement, in accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order.

the Debtor's chapter 11 case was recognized in Switzerland on July 24, 2024, Prager has continued to investigate estate assets that the Trustee has reason to believe are located in Switzerland, including by submitting information requests to numerous financial institutions in Switzerland and communicating with Swiss prosecutors. In addition, Prager has been conducting legal research and preparing related memoranda concerning, among other things, the recognition and enforcement of this Court's judgments in Switzerland.

22. The work undertaken by Prager to date has been significant, involving legal research and motion practice, factual analysis, correspondence, and strategic input. This work remains ongoing, with additional work expected in due course.
NO PRIOR APPLICATION

23. No prior application for the relief requested has been made. However, as noted, certain fees and expenses incurred during the Application Period were previously paid in accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order.
LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR COMPENSATION

24. All of the professional services for which this award is being sought hereby were rendered solely on behalf of the Trustee in connection with the chapter 11 cases herein.

25. Applicant respectfully submits that its services have benefited the Debtor's estate with the expertise and skill required to, among other things, conduct an investigation into estate assets located in Switzerland and seek the recovery of such assets. The services for which such compensation is requested were performed for and on behalf of the Trustee. Such services have been necessary to protect and enforce the rights and interests of the Debtor's estate in connection with these chapter 11 cases. The reasonable value of services rendered by Prager in these cases is based upon Prager's usual hourly rates for matters of this nature.

26. 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.

27. 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).4

28. 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).

4 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).

29. 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., 5 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 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.6 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

5 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.

6 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).

and Johnson as the "leading cases with regard to the factors to be considered in determining a reasonable allowance of compensation").

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

38. No agreement or understanding exists between Prager and any other person for the sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection with this matter. Prager will not, in any form or guise, share or agree to share compensation for services with any person, nor will Prager 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.
RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

39. 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 Prager has for any reason not sought compensation or reimbursement with respect to such services, Prager reserves the right to request compensation and reimbursement for such services in a supplemental or future application in these chapter 11 cases. Also, Prager 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.
[Remainder of page intentionally left blank.]

WHEREFORE, Prager 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 CHF 277,920.00 and reimbursement of CHF 14,148.35 in expenses, (ii) authorizing and directing prompt payment of fees and expenses from the estate, to the extent not already paid, (iii) allowing such compensation and payment for professional services rendered without prejudice to Prager's right to seek further compensation and/or payment from the estates for the full value of services performed and expenses incurred, and (iv) granting Prager such other and further relief as is just.
