PART II AND III 2 rse1apos.htm POST QUALIFICATION AMENDMENT 3

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This is a post-qualification amendment to an offering statement on Form 1-A filed by RSE Archive, LLC (the “Company”). The offering statement was originally filed by the Company on August 13, 2019 and has been amended by the Company on multiple occasions since that date. The offering statement, as amended by pre-qualification amendments, was initially qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 11, 2019.

 

Different Series of the Company have already been offered or have been qualified but not yet launched as of the date hereof, by the Company under the offering statement, as amended and qualified. Each such Series of the Company will continue to be offered and sold by the Company following the filing of this post-qualification amendment subject to the offering conditions contained in the offering statement, as qualified.

 

The purpose of this post-qualification amendment is to add to the offering statement, as amended and qualified, the offering of additional Series of the Company and to amend, update and/or replace certain information contained in the Offering Circular. The Series already offered, or qualified but not yet launched as of the date hereof, under the offering statement, and the additional Series being added to the offering statement by means of this post-qualification amendment, are outlined in the Master Series Table contained in the section titled “Interests in Series Covered by This Amendment” of the Offering Circular to this post-qualification amendment.


 

This Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 3 amends the Post-Qualification Offering Circular No. 2 of  RSE Archive LLC, dated November 15, 2019, as qualified on November 27, 2019, and as may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Offering Circular”), to add additional securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering Circular. Unless otherwise defined below, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Offering Circular. See “Incorporation by Reference of Offering Circular” below. An offering statement pursuant to Regulation A relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this Preliminary Offering Circular is subject to completion or amendment. To the extent not already qualified under Regulation A, these securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted before the offering statement filed with the Commission is qualified. We may elect to satisfy our obligation to deliver a Final Offering Circular by sending you a notice within two business days after the completion of our sale to you that contains the URL where the Final Offering Circular or the offering statement in which such Final Offering Circular was filed may be obtained.

(1) Dalmore Group, LLC (the “BOR” or “Dalmore”) will be acting as a broker of record and entitled to a Brokerage Fee as reflected herein and described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Broker” and “– Fees and Expenses” on page 103 and page 104 of the Offering Circular dated October 15, 2019 for additional information.

(2) We expect to engage a broker-dealer to act as custodian of interests and hold brokerage accounts for interest holders in connection with the Company’s offerings (the “Custodian”). It is anticipated that the Custodian will be entitled to a Custody Fee as reflected herein and described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Custodian” and “– Fees and Expenses” on page 104 of the Offering Circular dated October 15, 2019 for additional information.

(3) No underwriter has been engaged in connection with the Offering (as defined below) and neither the BOR, nor any other entity, receives a finder’ fee or any underwriting or placement agent discounts or commissions in relation to any Offering of Interests (as defined below). We intend to distribute all offerings of membership interests in any series of the Company principally through the Rally Rd.™ platform and any successor platform used by the Company for the offer and sale of interests, the “Platform”, as described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure” on page 101 of the Offering Circular dated October 15, 2019 for additional information.

RSE Archive, LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (“we,” “us,” “our,” “RSE Archive” or the “Company”) is offering, on a best efforts basis, a minimum (the “Total Minimum”) to a maximum (the “Total Maximum”) of membership interests of each of the following series of the Company, highlighted in gray in the “Master Series Table” in the “Interests In Series Covered By This Amendment” section. Series not highlighted in gray have completed their respective offerings at the time of this filing and the number of interests in the table represents the actual interests sold. The sale of membership interests is being facilitated by the BOR, a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and member of FINRA and is registered in each state where the offer or sales of the Interests will occur. It is anticipated that Interests will be offered and sold only in states where the BOR is registered as a broker-dealer.  For the avoidance of doubt, the BOR does not and will not solicit purchases of Interests or make any recommendations regarding the Interests to prospective investors.

All of the series of the Company offered hereunder may collectively be referred to herein as the “Series” and each, individually, as a “Series”.  The interests of all Series described above may collectively be referred to herein as the “Interests” and each, individually, as an “Interest” and the offerings of the Interests may collectively be referred to herein as the “Offerings” and each, individually, as an “Offering.”  See “Description of the Interests Offered” on page 129 of the Offering Circular dated October 15, 2019 for additional information regarding the Interests.


The Company is managed by RSE Archive Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”). The Manager is a single-member entity owned by RSE Markets, Inc. (“RSE Markets”).

It is anticipated that the Company’s core business will be the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of memorabilia and collectible items, collectively referred to as “Memorabilia Assets” or the “Asset Class,” for the benefit of the investors. The Series assets referenced in the “Interests In Series Covered By This Amendment” section may be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Underlying Assets” or each, individually, as an “Underlying Asset.” Any individuals, dealers or auction company which owns an Underlying Asset prior to a purchase of an Underlying Asset by the Company in advance of a potential offering or the closing of an offering from which proceeds are used to acquire the Underlying Asset may be referred to herein as an “Asset Seller.” See “Description of the Business” on page 108 for additional information regarding the Asset Class.

RSE Markets will serve as the asset manager (the “Asset Manager”) for each Series of the Company and provides services to the Underlying Assets in accordance with each Series’ asset management agreement.

This Offering Circular describes each individual Series found in the “Interests In Series Covered By This Amendment” section.

The Interests represent an investment in a particular Series and thus indirectly the Underlying Asset and do not represent an investment in the Company or the Manager generally.  We do not anticipate that any Series will own any assets other than the Underlying Asset associated with such Series.  However, we expect that the operations of the Company, including the issuance of additional Series of Interests and their acquisition of additional assets, will benefit Investors by enabling each Series to benefit from economies of scale and by allowing Investors to enjoy the Company’s memorabilia and collectibles collection at the Membership Experience Programs.

A purchaser of the Interests may be referred to herein as an “Investor” or “Interest Holder.”  There will be a separate closing with respect to each Offering (each, a “Closing”). The Closing of an Offering will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the Total Maximum Interests for a Series have been accepted or (ii) a date determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, provided that subscriptions for the Total Minimum Interests of such Series have been accepted.  If Closing has not occurred, an Offering shall be terminated upon (i) the date which is one year from the date such Offering Circular or Amendment, as applicable, is qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “Commission”, which period may be extended with respect to a particular Series by an additional six months by the Manager in its sole discretion, or (ii) any date on which the Manager elects to terminate the Offering for a particular Series in its sole discretion.  

No securities are being offered by existing security-holders.

Each Offering is being conducted under Tier II of Regulation A (17 CFR 230.251 et. seq.) and the information contained herein is being presented in Offering Circular format.  The Company is not offering, and does not anticipate selling, Interests in any of the Offerings in any state where the BOR is not registered as a broker-dealer. The subscription funds advanced by prospective Investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account with Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., the “Escrow Agent”, and will not be commingled with the operating account of the Series, until, if and when there is a Closing with respect to that Series.  See “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure” and “Description of Interests Offered” on page 101 and page 129 of the Offering Circular dated October 15, 2019 for additional information.

A purchase of Interests in a Series does not constitute an investment in either the Company or an Underlying Asset directly, or in any other Series of Interest.  This results in limited voting rights of the Investor, which are solely related to a particular Series, and are further limited by the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company (as amended from time to time, the “Operating Agreement”), described further herein.  Investors will have voting rights only with respect to certain matters, primarily relating to amendments to the Operating Agreement that would adversely change the rights of the Interest Holders and removal of the Manager for “cause”.  The Manager and the Asset Manager thus retain significant control over the management of the Company, each Series and the Underlying Assets.  Furthermore, because the Interests in a Series do not constitute an investment in the Company as a whole, holders of the Interests in a Series are not expected to receive any economic benefit from, or be subject to the liabilities of, the assets of any other Series.  In addition, the economic interest of a holder in a Series will not be identical to owning a direct undivided interest in an Underlying Asset because, among other things, a Series will be required to pay corporate taxes before distributions are made to the holders, and the Asset Manager will receive a fee in respect of its management of the Underlying Asset.

 

This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict.  Neither the Company nor the Manager or Asset Manager can guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting the Company, the Manager, the Asset Manager, or the Platform will be as currently anticipated.  These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  Please see “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 18 and page 6 of the Offering Circular dated October 15, 2019 for additional information.

There is currently no public trading market for any Interests, and an active market may not develop or be sustained.  If an active public or private trading market for our securities does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your Interests at any price. Even if a public or private market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your Interests.  

The Interests offered hereby are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. There can be no assurance that the Company’s investment objectives will be achieved or that a secondary market would ever develop for the Interests, whether via the Platform, via third party registered broker-dealers or otherwise. Prospective Investors should obtain their own legal and tax advice prior to making an investment in the Interests and should be aware that an investment in the Interests may be exposed to other risks of an exceptional nature from time to time. See the “Risk Factors” section on page 18 of the Offering Circular dated October 15, 2019.

 

GENERALLY, NO SALE MAY BE MADE TO YOU IN ANY OFFERING IF THE AGGREGATE PURCHASE PRICE YOU PAY IS MORE THAN 10% OF THE GREATER OF YOUR ANNUAL INCOME OR NET WORTH. DIFFERENT RULES APPLY TO


ACCREDITED INVESTORS AND NON-NATURAL PERSONS. BEFORE MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT YOUR INVESTMENT DOES NOT EXCEED APPLICABLE THRESHOLDS, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW RULE 251(d)(2)(i)(C) OF REGULATION A. FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ON INVESTING, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REFER TO HTTP://WWW.INVESTOR.GOV.

 

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF THE STATES OF TEXAS AND WASHINGTON:

WE ARE LIMITING THE OFFER AND SALE OF SECURITIES IN THE STATES OF TEXAS AND WASHINGTON TO A MAXIMUM OF $5 MILLION IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE OR MODIFY SUCH LIMIT AND, IN THE EVENT WE DECIDE TO OFFER AND SELL ADDITIONAL SECURITIES IN THESE STATES, WE WILL FILE A POST-QUALIFICATION SUPPLEMENT TO THE OFFERING STATEMENT OF WHICH THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR IS A PART IDENTIFYING SUCH CHANGE.

 

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not pass upon the merits of or give its approval to any securities offered or the terms of the offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering circular or other solicitation materials. These securities are offered pursuant to an exemption from registration with the Commission; however, the Commission has not made an independent determination that the securities offered are exempt from registration. This Preliminary Offering Circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor may there be any sales of these securities in, any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful before registration or qualification of the offer and sale under the laws of such state.

An investment in the Interests involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” on page 18 of the Offering Circular dated October 15, 2019 for a description of some of the risks that should be considered before investing in the Interests.

The Company operates under the direction of the Manager, which is responsible for directing the operations of our business, directing our day-to-day affairs, and implementing our investment strategy.  The Asset Manager, the sole member of the Manager, has established a Board of Directors that will make decisions with respect to all asset acquisitions, dispositions and maintenance schedules, with guidance from the Advisory Board.  The Manager and the officers and directors of the Asset Manager are not required to devote all of their time to our business and are only required to devote such time to our affairs as their duties require.  The Manager is responsible for determining maintenance required in order to maintain or improve the asset’s quality, determining how to monetize the Underlying Assets at Membership Experience Programs in order to generate profits and evaluating potential sale offers, which may lead to the liquidation of a Series.

Advisory Board

Responsibilities of the Advisory Board

The Advisory Board will support the Company, the Asset Manager and the Manager and consists of members of our expert network and additional advisors to the Manager.  It is anticipated that the Advisory Board will review the Company’s relationship with, and the performance of, the Manager, and generally approve the terms of any material or related-party transactions.  In addition, it is anticipated that the Advisory Board will assist with, and make recommendations with respect to, the following:

(i)Approving, permitting deviations from, making changes to, and annually reviewing the asset acquisition policy; 

(ii)Evaluating all asset acquisitions; 

(iii)Evaluating any third party offers for asset acquisitions and approving asset dispositions that are in the best interest of the Company and the Interest Holders; 

(iv)Providing guidance with respect to the appropriate levels of annual collection level insurance costs and maintenance costs specific to each individual asset; 


53



(v)Reviewing material conflicts of interest that arise, or are reasonably likely to arise with the managing member, on the one hand, and the Company, a Series or the economic members, on the other hand, or the Company or a Series, on the one hand, and another Series, on the other hand; 

(vi)Approving any material transaction between the Company or a Series, on the one hand, and the Manager or any of its affiliates, another Series or an Interest Holder, on the other hand, other than for the purchase of Interests; 

(vii)Reviewing the total fees, expenses, assets, revenues, and availability of funds for distributions to Interest Holders at least annually or with sufficient frequency to determine that the expenses incurred are reasonable in light of the investment performance of the assets, and that funds available for distributions to Interest Holders are in accordance with our policies; and 

(viii)Approving any service providers appointed by the Manager or the Asset Manager in respect of the Underlying Assets. 

The resolution of any conflict of interest approved by the Advisory Board shall be conclusively deemed fair and reasonable to the Company and the Members and not a breach of any duty at law, in equity or otherwise.  The members of the Advisory Board are not managers or officers of the Company, the Manager or the Asset Manager, or any Series and do not have fiduciary or other duties to the Interest Holders of any Series.  

Compensation of the Advisory Board

The Asset Manager will compensate the Advisory Board or their nominees (as so directed by an Advisory Board member) for their service.  As such, it is anticipated that their costs will not be borne by any given Series of Interests, although members of the Advisory Board may be reimbursed by a Series for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Advisory Board member in connection with a Series of Interests (e.g. travel related to evaluation of an asset).

Members of the Advisory Board

We plan to continue to build the Advisory Board over time and are in advanced discussions with various experts in the Asset Class.  We have already established an informal network of expert advisors who support the Company in asset acquisitions, valuations and negotiations.  To date three individuals have formally joined the Manager’s Advisory Board:
