(the "Application"). By this Application, Prager requests interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from September 1, 2025 through and including December 31, 2025 (the "Application Period"), as well as reimbursement of expenses. 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.

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.

9. By order entered March 21, 2024, the Court authorized Prager's retention as Swiss law counsel to the Trustee [Docket No. 3034] (as amended, the "Retention Order")3 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-ofpocket 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

On August 13, 2025, the Court granted the Fourth Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 4571].

14. On October 24, 2025, Prager filed its *Fifth Interim Fee Application of Prager Dreifuss AG, as Swiss Law Counsel, for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Period from May 1, 2025 Through August 31, 2025* [Docket No. 4777] (the "Fifth Interim Fee Application") requesting interim allowance of professional fees incurred during the period from May 1, 2025 through and including August 31, 2025. On December 3, 2025, the Court granted the Fifth Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 4877].

15. 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.

16. On October 7, 2025, Prager filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 4701] (the "September 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 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025, in the amounts of CHF 114,095.00 (80% of

*Dreifuss AG, as Swiss Law Counsel, for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Period from September 19, 2024 Through December 31, 2024 and (B) Related Proposed Orders* [Docket No. 4193] (the "Third Party Invoices Supplement") attaching the invoices for the Third Party Vendor Expenses (as defined in the Third Interim Fee Application). On March 17, 2025, the Court granted a supplemental order in connection with the Third Party Invoices Supplement [Docket No. 4222].

CHF 142,618.75) and CHF 3,054.00, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the September Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid Prager CHF 117,149.00 for fees and expenses with respect to the September Fee Statement.

17. On November 7, 2025, Prager filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 4830] (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 October 1, 2025 through October 31, 2025, in the amounts of CHF 98,500.00 (80% of CHF 123,125.00) and CHF 31,069.25, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the October Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid Prager CHF 129,569.25 for fees and expenses with respect to the October Fee Statement.

18. On December 9, 2025, Prager filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 4883] (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, 2025 through November 30, 2025, in the amounts of CHF 73,618.00 (80% of CHF 92,022.50) and CHF 16,840.45, respectively. No objections were filed in response to the November Fee Statement. Accordingly, the estate has paid Prager CHF 90,458.45 for fees and expenses with respect to the November Fee Statement.

19. On January 9, 2026, Prager filed and served a monthly fee statement [Docket No. 4945] (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, 2025 through December 31, 2025, in the amounts of CHF 87,363.00 (80% of CHF 109,203.75) and CHF 2,184.10, respectively. The deadline to object to the December Fee Statement is January 30, 2026. 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.

20. 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.

21. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of CHF 466,970.00 as compensation for services rendered and allowance and reimbursement of CHF 53,147.80 in expenses incurred in connection with such services. The Applicant devoted 1,350.65 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of CHF 345.74.

22. As noted, Prager has already received payment of CHF 286,213.00 of the fees incurred during the Application Period and CHF 50,963.70 of the expenses incurred during the Application Period, such that Prager is only seeking payment of (i) 80% of the fees and 100% of the expenses incurred in connection with the December Fee Statement, i.e., CHF 89,547.10,5 and (ii) the remaining 20% of its fees incurred during the Application Period, namely CHF 93,394.00.

23. 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.

24. 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

5 For the avoidance of doubt, the estate will pay this amount after the expiration of the January 30, 2026 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.

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.

25. 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 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 and assist with the Trustee's litigation efforts to recover assets for the benefit of the estate. Specifically, Prager assisted the Trustee with the commencing proceedings in Switzerland to attach a multi-million-dollar residence in Weggis, Switzerland (the "Weggis Property") and various other assets of the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo ("Mileson"), which applications were filed in February and April 2025. Swiss court entered the attachment orders in February and June 2025, respectively. Mileson has objected to both attachment orders.

26. During the Application Period, in coordination with Paul Hastings and Marxer Attorneys (the Trustee's Liechtenstein law counsel), Prager (a) prepared the Trustee's statements in further support of the attachments and in response to Mileson's objections to the attachment, (b) analyzed and advised the Trustee on legal issues related to the attachment proceedings, (c) analyzed Mileson's objections to the attachment orders, (d) continued to conduct investigation into Debtor's and Mileson's assets in Switzerland, (e) conducted internal discussions regarding case strategy and related legal issues, and (f) conducted a conciliation hearing in preparation of a civil action against Mileson in Switzerland. Prager has also continued to advise the Trustee on the next steps in his litigation strategy to recover the attached assets for the benefit of the estate, which, among other things, will include seeking recognition in Switzerland of the default judgments issued by this Court against Mileson as well as a civil action regarding estate claims against Mileson.6

27. 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.

28. 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.

29. 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.

30. 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.

6 In the interest of maintaining confidentiality of the Trustee's ongoing investigation and litigation strategy, the Trustee has redacted the relevant portions of Prager's fee statements. Unredacted versions have been provided to the U.S. Trustee.

31. 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.

32. 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).7

33. 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).

7 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).

34. 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., 8 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.9 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

8 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.

9 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").

35. 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.

36. Finally, this Application is being filed less than 120 days after the filing of Prager's immediately prior fee application (which was filed on October 24, 2025). Prager requests that the Court allow the early filing of this Application (as the Court is permitted to do under section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code). Prager files this Application at this time so as to receive payment of the 20% holdback before February 15, 2026, so that all the hours worked in and fees for September, October, November and December 2025 can be recognized in the firms' accounting for fiscal year 2025 (ending on December 31, 2025).

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.

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.

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 466,970.00 and reimbursement of CHF 53,147.80 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.
