Group 2: Trust Agreements - The trust agreement involves the establishment of three offshore trusts, with beneficiaries being Zong Jichang and his children, Zong Jieli and her children, and Zong Jisheng and his children [8][10]. - The total initial amount for the three trusts is set at $2.1 billion, with each trust starting at $700 million [12]. - The trusts are structured as non-principal trusts, meaning the principal amount remains invested, and only interest can be distributed to beneficiaries [10][12]. Group 3: Disputes and Management - The main dispute centers around the scope of trust assets, trustee authority, and the establishment timeline, with Zong Fuli asserting her role as a shareholder of the trustee during the transition phase [12][13]. - Zong Fuli does not dispute the authenticity of the trust establishment but claims that the trust assets are limited to interest from the fixed principal, not the principal itself [12]. - Communication from Zong Fuli's lawyer indicates a disagreement regarding the validity of the handwritten document, with intentions to establish the offshore trust fund at an appropriate pace [13].
