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.

and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from September 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 (the "Application"). By this Application, Pallas requests interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from September 1, 2024 through and including December 31, 2024 (the "Application Period") in these chapter 11 cases. In support of this Application, Pallas 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.

3. Pallas believes that this Application, together with the attachments hereto, substantially complies with the Bankruptcy Rules, Local Rule 2016-1, and the *United States Trustee's Guidelines for Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses Filed Under 11 U.S.C. § 330 by Attorneys in Larger Chapter 11 Cases* (the "U.S. Trustee Guidelines").2 Pallas respectfully requests a waiver of any of the foregoing requirements not met by this Application.

- 4. Attached and incorporated herein by reference are the following Exhibits: - Exhibit A contains the Proposed Order granting this Application.

2 Pallas 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.

- Exhibit B is a timekeeper summary that includes the name, title, bar admission, hourly billing rate, aggregate hours, and amount of fees earned for each Pallas individual who provided services during the Application Period; - Exhibit C is a summary of expenses incurred and reimbursement sought, by expense type, during the Application Period; and - Exhibit D contains the detail of the fees and expenses incurred during the Application Period.

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 24, 2023, the Court authorized Pallas' retention as solicitor in the United Kingdom for the Trustee [ECF No. 1596] (the "Retention Order") effective as of January 26, 2022 in the Debtor's chapter 11 case. The Retention Order authorizes Pallas to be compensated on an hourly basis and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-ofpocket expenses pursuant to section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and such orders as the Court may direct.

10. 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.

11. On December 27, 2023, Pallas filed its *First Interim Fee Application of Pallas Partners LLP, as Solicitors in United Kingdom, for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Period from January 26, 2023 Through November 30, 2023* [Docket No. 2475] (the "First Interim Fee Application"), requesting interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from January 26, 2023 through and including November 30, 2023 in these chapter 11 cases. On January 24, 2024, the Court granted the First Interim Fee Application.

12. On June 24, 2024, Pallas filed its *Second Interim Fee Application of Pallas Partners LLP, as Solicitors in United Kingdom, for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Period from December 1, 2023 Through April 30, 2024* [Docket No. 3277] (the "Second Interim Fee Application"), requesting interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from December 1, 2023 through and including April 30, 2024 in these chapter 11 cases. On July 23, 2024, the Court granted the Second Interim Fee Application.

13. On October 15, 2024, Pallas filed its *Third Interim Fee Application of Pallas Partners LLP, as Solicitors in United Kingdom, for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Period from May 1, 2024 Through August 31, 2024* [Docket No. 3699] (the "Third Interim Fee Application"), requesting interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from May 1, 2024 through and including August 31, 2024 in these chapter 11 cases. On November 13, 2024, the Court granted the Third Interim Fee Application.

14. 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.

15. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of \$189,270.00 as compensation for services rendered and allowance and reimbursement of \$753.67 in expenses incurred in connection with such services. The Applicant devoted 189.2 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of \$1,000.37.

16. 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.

17. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit D is a detailed billing report, upon which this application is based that contains each individual professional's time for the Debtors' bankruptcy cases, 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.

18. Upon being formally instructed, Pallas was asked to provide detailed and strategic advice in connection with the English litigation proceedings (the "UBS Action") brought by the Individual Debtor, Ace Decade Holdings Limited ("Second Claimant") and Dawn State Limited ("Third Claimant") against UBS AG (the "Defendant") (Case CL-2020-000345), which litigation claims constitute property of the Individual Debtor's estate. In addition, Pallas has been asked

by the Trustee to consider strategic options in England relating to Hamilton Capital Holding Ltd ("Hamilton"), an entity which the Trustee maintains is part of the Estate and which he is seeking to obtain control over, pursuant to Hamilton entering into administration (the "Hamilton Administration").

19. During the Fee Period, Pallas has been continuing to advise the Trustee on several matters related to the UBS Action, including advising the Trustee on the most cost-efficient ways to maximize value from the UBS Action for the benefit of the Individual Debtor's estate and its creditors. In addition, Pallas has advised the Trustee in respect of matters arising under the Hamilton Administration in order to preserve value in the company and ensure that the Administration process does not seek to undermine and circumvent the Trustee's rights.

20. In respect of the UBS Action, in order to achieve the Trustee's objective of maximizing value for the benefit of the creditors, Pallas has remained focused on advising the Trustee on the process of obtaining control of the Second and Third Claimants for the purposes of the UBS Action and seeking a further stay of the English proceedings pending the relief sought in the BVI courts (as to the Trustee's ownership of the Second and Third Claimant) which will ultimately be recognized in the English Courts.

21. To that end, Pallas has assisted in continuing to advocate for, and liaise with the parties on, an extension to the stay of the English proceedings in order to ensure no steps can be taken by any party in England and to ensure that no costs are incurred by any parties. Upon the purported appointment of joint liquidators over Ace Decade (the "JLs") in the BVI, Pallas has also been working with the Trustee to support his discussions and negotiations with the JLs in order to seek to obtain appropriate relief in the BVI and ultimately obtain control of the Second and Third Claimants for the purposes of the English proceedings.

22. In respect to the Hamilton Administration, in order to achieve the Trustee's objective of maximizing value for the benefit of the creditors, Pallas has been focused on advising the Trustee in connection with the attempts by the joint administrators of Hamilton to vary a worldwide freezing order and sell certain assets of Hamilton including valuable gold in the company's possession, and over which the Trustee maintains a beneficial claim on behalf of the Debtor's estate. In consultation with the Trustee's barristers, Pallas's work has involved analyzing the application to the court by Hamilton's joint administrators and engaging in i*nter partes* correspondence seeking to agree that the joint administrators freeze any proceeds arising from the sale of Hamilton's gold assets until determination of the Trustee's claim in this Court for a declaration that Hamilton and its assets are beneficially owned by the Trustee. In view of Hamilton's joint administrators refusal to cooperate, Pallas' work has also involved preparing an application on behalf of the Trustee seeking (a) an order requiring Hamilton's joint administrators to retain any proceeds of sale in respect of Hamilton's property until the final determination of the Trustee's claim in this Court for a declaration that Hamilton and its assets are beneficially owned by the Trustee, and (b) in the alternative, a proprietary injunction in similar terms.

23. No prior application for the relief requested has been made.

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 Trustee 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. Such services have been necessary to protect and enforce the rights and interests of the Trustee in connection with these chapter 11 cases. The reasonable value of services rendered by Pallas in these cases is based upon Pallas' 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).3

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

3 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).

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).

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., 4 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.5 See In re Nine Assocs., Inc., 76 B.R. 943, 945 (S.D.N.Y. 1987) (adopting First Colonial/Johnson analysis); In re Cuisine

4 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.

5 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).

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").

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

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

30. 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 Pallas has for any reason not sought compensation or reimbursement with respect to such services, Pallas reserves the right to request compensation and reimbursement for such services in a supplemental or future application in these chapter 11 cases. Also, Pallas 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.

31. 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, Pallas 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 \$189,270.00 and reimbursement of \$753.67 in expenses, (ii) authorizing and directing prompt payment of the unpaid fees in the amount of \$190,023.67 from the estates, (iii) allowing such compensation and payment for professional services rendered without prejudice to Pallas' right to seek further compensation and/or payment from the estates for the full value of services performed and expenses incurred, and (iv) granting Pallas such other and further relief as is just.
