EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This is a post-qualification amendment to an offering statement on Form 1-A filed by RSE Archive, LLC. The offering statement was originally filed by RSE Archive, LLC on August 13, 2019 and has been amended by RSE Archive, LLC 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 on October 11, 2019.

 

Different series of RSE Archive, LLC have already been offered or have been qualified but not yet launched as of the date hereof, by RSE Archive, LLC under the offering statement, as amended and qualified. Each such series of RSE Archive, LLC will continue to be offered and sold by RSE Archive, LLC 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 RSE Archive, LLC 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. 5 amends the Post-Qualification Offering Circular No. 3 of  RSE Archive LLC, dated December 5, 2019, as qualified on December 18, 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. 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.

(2) DriveWealth, LLC (the “Custodian”) will be acting as custodian of interests and hold brokerage accounts for interest holders in connection with the Company’s offerings and will be entitled to a Custody Fee (as described in “Offering Summary” – “Use of Proceeds”) and described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Custodian” and “– Fees and Expenses” for additional information. For all offerings of the Company which closed or launch prior to the agreement with the Custodian, signed on January 7 , 2020, interests are transferred into the Custodian brokerage accounts upon consent of the individual investors who purchased such shares or have transferred money into escrow in anticipation of purchasing such shares at the close of the currently ongoing offerings.

(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 Rally Rd.™ Platform” or the “Platform”), as described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure” for additional information.

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 (as defined below) 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”.  The interests of all Series described above may collectively be referred to herein as the “Interests” and the offerings of the Interests may collectively be referred to herein as the “Offerings”.  See “Description of the Interests Offered” 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, collectible items and alcohol, 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”. 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” 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 (see “Description of the Business” – “Description of the Asset Management Agreement” for additional information).

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 Underlying Asset collection at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”).

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” 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” on page 39 and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” 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 39.

 

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 39 for a description of some of the risks that should be considered before investing in the Interests.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information contained in this Offering Circular includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered “forward-looking statements.”  Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of the Company, the Manager, each Series of the Company and the Platform (defined below); and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations).  These forward-looking statements express the Manager’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, and intentions regarding the future.  In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements.  The words “anticipates”, “believes”, “continue”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “may”, “might”, “plans”, “possible”, “potential”, “predicts”, “projects”, “seeks”, “should”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict.  Neither the Company nor the Manager can guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting the Company, the 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.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties.  These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are also described below under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the parties’ assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.  You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

From time to time, we own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that we use in connection with the operation of our business. This Offering Circular may also contain trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. Our use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this Offering Circular is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with us or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of us. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this Offering Circular may appear without the ®, TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these trademarks, service marks and trade names.

Additional Information

You should rely only on the information contained in this Offering Circular. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with additional information or information different from that contained in this Offering Circular filed with the Commission.

We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, certain Series of Interests only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this Offering Circular is accurate only as of the date of this document, regardless of the time of delivery of this Offering Circular or any sale of a Series of Interests. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may have changed since that date.

OFFERING SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere herein and, in the Exhibits, hereto.  You should read the entire Offering Circular and carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in the section captioned Risk Factors.”  You are encouraged to seek the advice of your attorney, tax consultant, and business advisor with respect to the legal, tax, and business aspects of an investment in the Interests.  All references in this Offering Circular to “$” or “dollars” are to United States dollars.

The Company:The Company is RSE Archive, LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company formed January 3, 2019. 

Underlying Assets  
and Offering Price

Per Interest: It is anticipated that the Company’s core business will be the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of memorabilia, collectible items and alcohol, the Memorabilia Asset, as the Underlying Assets of the Company.  

It is not anticipated that any Series would own any assets other than its respective Underlying Asset, plus cash reserves for maintenance, storage, insurance and other expenses pertaining to each Underlying Asset and amounts earned by each Series from the monetization of the Underlying Asset.

The Underlying Asset for each Series and the Offering Price per Interest for each Series is detailed in the Master Series Table.

Securities offered:Investors will acquire membership Interests in a Series of the Company, each of which is intended to be separate for purposes of assets and liabilities.  It is intended that owners of Interest in a Series will only have an Interest in assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to the specific Underlying Assets owned by that Series.  For example, an owner of Interests in Series #98JORDAN will only have an Interest in the assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to the Series 1998 Michael Jordan Jersey and its related operations.  See the “Description of Interests Offered” section for further details.  The Interests will be non-voting except with respect to certain matters set forth in the Operating Agreement.  The purchase of membership Interests in a Series of the Company is an investment only in that Series (and with respect to that Series’ Underlying Asset) and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) the Company, (ii) any other Series of Interests, (iii) RSE Markets, (iv) the Manager, (v) the Asset Manager, (vi) the Platform or (vii) the Underlying Asset associated with the Series or any Underlying Asset owned by any other Series of Interests.. 

Investors:Each Investor must be a “qualified purchaser”. See “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Investor Suitability Standards” for further details. The Manager may, in its sole discretion, decline to admit any prospective Investor, or accept only a portion of such Investor’s subscription, regardless of whether such person is a “qualified purchaser”. Furthermore, the Manager anticipates only accepting subscriptions from prospective Investors located in states where the BOR is registered. 

Manager:RSE Archive Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, will be the Manager of the Company and of each Series. The Manager, together with its affiliates, will own a minimum of 2% of each Series upon the Closing of an Offering.   

Advisory Board: The Manager has assembled an expert network of advisors with experience in the Asset Class (an “Advisory Board”) to assist the Manager in identifying, acquiring and managing Underlying Assets, as well as other aspects of the Platform. 


30


Broker:RSE Markets, on behalf of the Company, has entered into an agreement with the BOR. The BOR will be acting as broker of record and is entitled to a Brokerage Fee (as defined below). The sale of membership Interests is being facilitated by the BOR, a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act, and member of FINRA and SIPC, 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. 

Custodian: The Company has entered into an agreement with the Custodian, a New Jersey limited liability company and a broker-dealer which is registered with the Commission and in each state where Interests in Series’ of the Company will be sold and with such other regulators as may be required to create brokerage accounts for each Investor for the purpose of holding the Interests issued in any of the Company’s Offerings.  Each Investors’ brokerage account will be created as part of the account creation process on the Platform and all Investors who previously purchased Interests in Offerings of the Company, ongoing or closed, of the Company will be required to opt-in to allow the Custodian to create a brokerage account for them and transfer previously issued Interests into such brokerage accounts. The Custodian is a member of FINRA and SIPC. 

Minimum and
Maximum

Interest purchase:The minimum subscription by an Investor is one (1) Interest in a Series and the maximum subscription by any Investor is for Interests representing 10% of the total Interests of a Series, although such maximum thresholds may be waived by the Manager in its sole discretion. Such limits do not apply to the Manager and/or affiliates of the Manager.  The Manager and/or its affiliates must purchase a minimum of 2% of Interests of each Series at the Closing of its each Offering. The Manager may purchase greater than 2% of Interests of any Series (including in excess of 10% of any Series) at the applicable Closing, in its sole discretion. The purchase price, the Offering Price per Interest times the number of Interests purchased, will be payable in cash at the time of subscription. 

 

Offering size:The Company may offer a Total Minimum and a Total Maximum of Interests in each Series Offering as detailed for each Series highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table. 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 in each respective Offering. 

The Manager and/or its affiliates must own a minimum of 2% of Interests of each Series at the Closing of its applicable Offering. The Manager may purchase greater than 2% of Interests of any Series at the applicable Closing, in its sole discretion.

Escrow Agent:    Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., a Georgia banking corporation. 

Escrow:    The subscription funds advanced by prospective Investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account with Escrow Agent and will not be commingled with the operating account of any Series, until if and when there is a Closing with respect to that Investor. 

When the Escrow Agent has received instructions from the Manager or the BOR that the Offering will close, and the Investor’s subscription is to be accepted (either in whole or part), then the Escrow Agent shall disburse such Investor’s subscription proceeds in its possession to the account of the Series. Amounts paid to the Escrow Agent are categorized as Offering Expenses (as defined below).


31


If the applicable Offering is terminated without a Closing, or if a prospective Investor’s subscription is not accepted or is cut back due to oversubscription or otherwise, such amounts placed into escrow by prospective Investors will be returned promptly to them without interest.  Any costs and expenses associated with a terminated Offering will be borne by the Manager.

Offering Period:There will be a separate Closing for each Offering. The Closing of an Offering for a particular Series will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the Total Maximum Interests of such Series have been accepted by the Manager 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 the Closing for a Series has not occurred, the applicable Offering shall be terminated upon (i) the date which is one year from the date this Offering Circular is qualified by the Commission, which period may be extended by an additional six months by the Manager in its sole discretion, or (ii) any date on which the Manager elects to terminate such Offering in its sole discretion. In the case, where the Company enters into a purchase options agreement, the Offering may never be launched, or a Closing may not occur, in the case the Company does not exercise the purchase option before the purchase option agreement’s expiration date, or the expiration date is not extended. 

Lock-Up Period:Upon the Closing of an Offering for a particular Series, a 90-day lock-up period will commence starting the day of the Closing, before Interests in the particular Series may be transferred by any Investor in such Series. 

Additional Investors:The Asset Seller may purchase a portion of the Interests in each Series or may be offered Interests of such Series as a portion of the purchase price for such Underlying Asset.     

Use of proceeds:The proceeds received by a Series from its respective Offering will be applied in the following order of priority upon the Closing: 

(i) “Brokerage Fee”: A fee payable to the BOR equal to 1.00% of the gross proceeds of each Offering as compensation for brokerage services;

(ii) Acquisition Cost of the Underlying Asset: Actual cost of the Underlying Asset paid to the Asset Sellers (which may have occurred prior to the Closing).

The Company will typically acquire Underlying Assets through the following methods:

1)Upfront purchase – the Company acquires an Underlying Asset from an Asset Seller prior to the launch of the Offering related to the Series 

2)Purchase agreement – the Company enters into an agreement with an Asset Seller to acquire an Underlying Asset, which may expire prior to the Closing of the Offering for the related Series, in which case the Company is obligated to acquire the Underlying Asset prior to the Closing 

3)Purchase option agreement – the Company enters into a purchase option agreement with an Asset Seller, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Underlying Asset 

The Company’s acquisition method for each Underlying Asset is noted in the Master Series Table.

(iii) “Offering Expenses”: In general, these costs include actual legal, accounting, escrow, filing, wire-transfer, compliance costs and custody fees incurred by the Company in connection with an Offering (and excludes ongoing costs described in Operating Expenses (as defined below)), as applicable, paid to legal advisors, brokerage, escrow, underwriters,


32


printing, financial institutions, accounting firms and the Custodian, as the case may be. The custody fee, as of the date hereof, is a fee payable to the Custodian equal to 0.75% of the amount raised through the Offering, but at a minimum $500 per Offering (the “Custody Fee”), as compensation for custody service related to the Interests issued and placed into Custodian brokerage accounts on behalf of the Interest Holders; In the case of each Series notated in the Master Series Table, the Custody Fee will be funded from proceeds of the respective Offering unless otherwise noted.

 

(iv) “Acquisition Expenses”: These include costs associated with the evaluation, investigation and acquisition of the Underlying Asset, plus any interest accrued on loans made to the Company by the Manager or the Asset Manager, an affiliate of the Manager or Asset Manager, a director, an officer or a third party for funds used to acquire the Underlying Asset or any options in respect of such purchase.  Except as otherwise noted, any such loans to affiliates of the Company accrue interest at the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) and other loans and options accrue as described herein.

(v) “Sourcing Fee”: A fee paid to the Manager as compensation for identifying and managing the acquisition of the Underlying Asset, not to exceed the maximum Sourcing Fee for the applicable Series, as detailed in Master Series Table for each Series.  

The Manager or the Asset Manager pays the Offering Expenses and Acquisition Expenses on behalf of each Series and is reimbursed by the Series from the proceeds of a successful Offering.  See “Use of Proceeds and “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Fees and Expenses sections for further details.

Operating expenses:Operating Expenses” are costs and expenses, allocated in accordance with the Company’s expense allocation policy (see “Description of the Business – Allocations of Expenses” section), attributable to the activities of each Series including: 

·costs incurred in managing the Underlying Asset, including, but not limited to storage, maintenance and transportation costs (other than transportation costs described in Acquisition Expenses); 

·costs incurred in preparing any reports and accounts of the Series, including any tax filings and any annual audit of the accounts of the Series (if applicable) or costs payable to any third-party registrar or transfer agent and any reports to be filed with the Commission including periodic reports on Forms 1-K, 1-SA and 1-U; 

·any indemnification payments; and 

·any and all insurance premiums or expenses in connection with the Underlying Asset, including insurance required for utilization at and transportation of the Underlying Asset to events under Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) (excluding any insurance taken out by a corporate sponsor or individual paying to showcase an asset at an event but including, if obtained, directors and officers insurance of the directors and officers of the Manager or the Asset Manager). 

 

The Manager or the Asset Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Operating Expenses incurred prior to the Closing with respect to each Offering notated in the Master Series Table. Offerings, for which no Closing has occurred are highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table.

 

Operating Expenses of a Series incurred post-Closing shall be the responsibility of the applicable Series.  However, if the Operating Expenses of a particular Series exceed the amount of reserves retained by or revenues generated from the applicable Underlying Asset, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not


33


seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to such Series, on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, which shall not be lower than the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the applicable Underlying Asset (an “Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation”), or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in the applicable Series in order to cover such additional amounts.

No Series generated any revenues and we don’t expect any Series to generate any revenue until late 2020, if at all, and expect each Series to incur Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations, or for the Manager or the Asset Manager to pay such Operating Expenses incurred and not seek reimbursement, to the extent such Series does not have sufficient reserves for such expenses.  See discussion of “Description of the Business – Operating Expenses” for additional information.

Further issuance of

Interests: A further issuance of Interests of a Series may be made in the event the Operating Expenses of that Series exceed the income generated from its Underlying Asset and cash reserves of that Series.  This may occur if the Company does not take out sufficient amounts under an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation or if the Manager or the Asset Manager does not pay for such Operating Expenses without seeking reimbursement. See “Dilution” for additional information. 

Asset Manager:The Asset Manager is RSE Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  

Platform:RSE Markets owns and operates the Rally Rd.™ Platform through which the Interests are sold. 

Free Cash Flow: Free Cash Flow for a particular Series equals its net income as determined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles plus any change in net working capital and depreciation and amortization (and any other non-cash Operating Expenses) less any capital expenditures related to its Underlying Asset.  The Manager may maintain Free Cash Flow funds in separate deposit accounts or investment accounts for the benefit of each Series. 

Management Fee:As compensation for the services provided by the Asset Manager under the Asset Management Agreement (see “Description of the Business” – “Description of the Asset Management Agreement” for additional information) for each Series, the Asset Manager will be paid a semi-annual fee of up to 50% of any Free Cash Flow generated by a particular Series.  The Management Fee will only become due and payable if there is sufficient Free Cash Flow to distribute as described in Distribution Rights below.  For tax and accounting purposes the Management Fee will be accounted for as an expense on the books of the Series. 

Distribution Rights:The Manager has sole discretion in determining what distributions of Free Cash Flow, if any, are made to Interest Holders of a Series. Any Free Cash Flow generated by a Series from the utilization of its Underlying Asset shall be applied by that Series in the following order of priority: 

repay any amounts outstanding under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations for that Series, plus accrued interest; 

thereafter to create such reserves for that Series as the Manager deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to meet future Operating Expenses of that Series; and; 

thereafter, no less than 50% (net of corporate income taxes applicable to that Series) by way of distribution to the Interest Holders of that Series, which may include the  


34


Asset Sellers of its Underlying Asset or the Manager or any of its affiliates, and;

up to 50% to the Asset Manager in payment of the Management Fee for that Series. 

 

Timing of Distributions:The Manager may make semi-annual distributions of Free Cash Flow remaining to Interest Holders of a Series, subject to the Manager’s right, in its sole discretion, to withhold distributions, including the Management Fee, to meet anticipated costs and liabilities of such Series.  The Manager may change the timing of potential distributions to a Series in its sole discretion. 

Fiduciary Duties:The Manager may not be liable to the Company, any Series or the Investors for errors in judgment or other acts or omissions not amounting to willful misconduct or gross negligence, since provision has been made in the Operating Agreement for exculpation of the Manager. Therefore, Investors have a more limited right of action than they would have absent the limitation in the Operating Agreement. 

Indemnification:None of the Indemnified Parties (as defined below), Manager, or its affiliates, RSE Markets, or the Asset Manager, nor any current or former directors, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, members, controlling persons, agents or independent contractors of the Manager, members of the Advisory Board, nor persons acting at the request of the Company or any Series in certain capacities with respect to other entities (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) will be liable to the Company, any Series or any Interest Holders for any act or omission taken by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the business of the Company or a Series that has not been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

The Company or, where relevant, each Series of the Company (whether offered hereunder or otherwise) will indemnify the Indemnified Parties out of its assets against all liabilities and losses (including amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines, penalties or settlement of litigation, including legal fees and expenses) to which they become subject by virtue of serving as Indemnified Parties with respect to any act or omission that has not been determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Unless attributable to a specific Series or a specific Underlying Asset, the costs of meeting any indemnification will be allocated pro rata across each Series based on the value of each Underlying Asset.

Transfers:The Manager may refuse a transfer by an Interest Holder of its Interest if such transfer would result in (a) there being more than 2,000 beneficial owners in a Series or more than 500 beneficial owners that are not “accredited investors”, (b) the assets of a Series being deemed plan assets for purposes of ERISA (as described in “Plan of Distribution” – “Investor Suitability Standards”), (c) such Interest Holder holding in excess of 19.9% of a Series, (d) result in a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Company and/or a Series, or (e) the Company, any Series, the Manager, its affiliates, or the Asset Manager being subject to additional regulatory requirements. Furthermore, as the Interests are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), transfers of Interests may only be effected pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act and permitted by applicable state securities laws.  See “Description of Interests Offered – Transfer Restrictions” for more information. 

Governing law:To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and the Operating Agreement will be governed by Delaware law and any dispute in relation to the Company and the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, except where Federal law requires that certain claims be brought in Federal courts, as in the case of claims brought under the Securities  


35


Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.   Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the Delaware exclusive forum provision set forth in the Operating Agreement will not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or otherwise limit the rights of any Investor to bring any claim under such laws, rules or regulations in any United States federal district court of competent jurisdiction.  If an Interest Holder were to bring a claim against the Company or the Manager pursuant to the Operating Agreement, it would be required to do so in the Delaware Court of Chancery to the extent the claim isn’t vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, or for which the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or where exclusive jurisdiction is not permitted under applicable law.

RISK FACTORS

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 through the Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information), via the Platform, via third party registered broker-dealers or otherwise. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or not presently deemed material by us might also impair our operations and performance and/or the value of the Interests. If any of these risks actually occurs, the value of the Interests may be materially adversely affected.  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. The following considerations are among those that should be carefully evaluated before making an investment in the Interests.

Risks relating to the structure, operation and performance of the Company

An investment in an Offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the Company or directly in any Underlying Asset.

 

An Investor in an Offering will acquire an ownership Interest in the Series of Interests related to that Offering and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) the Company, (ii) any other Series of Interests, (iii) the Manager, (iv) the Asset Manager, (v) the Platform or (vi) directly in the Underlying Asset associated with the Series or any Underlying Asset owned by any other Series of Interests.  This results in limited voting rights of the Investor, which are solely related to a particular Series, and are further limited by the Operating Agreement of the Company, 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 thus retains significant control over the management of the Company and each Series and the Asset Manager significant control over 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.

 

There is currently no trading market for our securities.  An active market in which Investors can resell their Interests may not develop.

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. Although there is a possibility that the proposed Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information), which would be a discretionary and irregular matching service of a registered broker-dealer, may permit some liquidity, the resulting auction process does not operate like a stock exchange or other traditional trading markets. We anticipate that Trading Windows (as described in “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”) for Interests would be infrequent, occurring with respect to any Series no more than every 30 to 90 days, and would be short, likely lasting only one or two days. There is no assurance that a matching transaction will be found for any given Investor who attempts to purchase or sell an Interest in a Trading Window. Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that the broker will continue to provide these services or that the Company or its Managing Member will pay any fees or other amounts that would be required to maintain that service. Without any such matching service, it may be difficult or impossible for you to dispose of your Interests, and even if there is such a matching service you might not be able to effect a resale through the Liquidity Platform. Accordingly, you may have no liquidity for your Interests, particularly if the Underlying Asset in respect of that Interest is never sold. Even if a public or private market does develop through the Liquidity Platform or otherwise, the market price of the Interests could decline below the amount you paid for your Interests.  


37


 

There may be state law restrictions on an Investor’s ability to sell the Interests.

Each state has its own securities laws, often called “Blue Sky” laws, which (1) limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration and (2) govern the reporting requirements for brokers and dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state.  Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or it must be exempt from registration.  Also, the broker or dealer must be registered in that state.  We do not know whether our securities will be registered, or exempt, under the laws of any states.  A determination regarding registration will be made by the broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as the market-makers for our Interests.  There may be significant state Blue Sky law restrictions on the ability of Investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our Interests.  In addition, Tier 2 of Regulation A limits qualified resales of our Interests to 30% of the aggregate Offering price of a particular Offering.  Investors should consider the resale market for our securities to be limited.  Investors may be unable to resell their securities, or they may be unable to resell them without the significant expense of state registration or qualification, or opinions to our satisfaction that no such registration or qualification is required.

We do not have a significant operating history and, as a result, there is a limited amount of information about us on which to base an investment decision.

The Company and each Series were recently formed in January 2019 and have not generated any revenues and have no operating history upon which prospective Investors may evaluate their performance.  No guarantee can be given that the Company or any Series will achieve their investment objectives, the value of any Underlying Asset will increase or that any Underlying Asset will be successfully monetized.

 

There can be no guarantee that the Company will reach its funding target from potential Investors with respect to any Series or future proposed Series of Interests.

Due to the start-up nature of the Company and the Manager, there can be no guarantee that the Company will reach its funding target from potential Investors with respect to any Series or future proposed Series of Interests.  In the event the Company does not reach a funding target, it may not be able to achieve its investment objectives by acquiring additional Underlying Assets through the issuance of further Series of Interests and monetizing them to generate distributions for Investors.  In addition, if the Company is unable to raise funding for additional Series of Interests, this may impact any Investors already holding Interests as they will not see the benefits which arise from economies of scale following the acquisition by other Series of Interests of additional Underlying Assets and other monetization opportunities (e.g., hosting events with the collection of Memorabilia Assets).

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's and each listed Series’ ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.

There are few businesses that have pursued a strategy or investment objective similar to the Company’s.

We believe the number of other companies crowdfunding the Asset Class or proposing to run a platform for crowdfunding of Interests in the Asset Class is very limited to date. One business that is affiliated with the Company, has pursued a similar strategy with a different asset class. The Company and the Interests may not gain market acceptance from potential Investors, potential Asset Sellers or service providers within the Asset Class’ industry, including insurance companies, storage facilities or maintenance partners.  This could result in an inability of the Manager to operate the Underlying Assets profitably.  This could impact the issuance of further Series of Interests and additional Underlying Assets being acquired by the Company.  This would further inhibit market acceptance of the Company and if the Company does not acquire any additional Underlying Assets, Investors would not receive any benefits which arise from economies of scale (such as reduction in storage costs as a large number of Underlying Assets are stored at the same facility, group discounts on insurance and the ability to monetize Underlying Assets through Museums or other Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) that would require the Company to own a substantial number of Underlying Assets).


38


Offering amount exceeds value of Underlying Asset.

The size of each Offering will exceed the purchase price of the related Underlying Asset as at the date of such Offering (as the proceeds of the Offering in excess of the purchase price of the Underlying Asset will be used to pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in making the Offering and acquiring the Underlying Asset).  If an Underlying Asset had to be sold and there has not been substantial appreciation of the value of the Underlying Asset prior to such sale, there may not be sufficient proceeds from the sale of the Underlying Asset to repay Investors the amount of their initial investment (after first paying off any liabilities on the Underlying Asset  at the time of the sale including but not limited to any outstanding Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation) or any additional profits in excess of this amount.

Excess Operating Expenses could the materially and adversely affect the value of Interests and result in dilution to Investors.

Operating Expenses related to a particular Series incurred post-Closing shall be the responsibility of the Series.  However, if the Operating Expenses of a particular Series exceed the amount of revenues generated from the Underlying Asset of such Series, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the particular Series, on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and be entitled to Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations, or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in such Series in order to cover such additional amounts.

If there is an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, this reimbursable amount between related parties would be repaid from the Free Cash Flow generated by the applicable Series and could reduce the amount of any future distributions payable to Investors in that Series.  If additional Interests are issued in a particular Series, this would dilute the current value of the Interests of that Series held by existing Investors and the amount of any future distributions payable to such existing Investors.  Further, any additional issuance of Interests of a Series could result in dilution of the holders of that Series.

We are reliant on the Manager and Asset Manager and their respective personnel. Our business and operations could be adversely affected if the Manager or Asset Manager lose key personnel.

 

The successful operation of the Company (and therefore, the success of the Interests) is in part dependent on the ability of the Manager and the Asset Manager to source, acquire and manage the Underlying Assets and for RSE Markets to maintain the Platform.  As the Manager and Asset Manager have only been in existence since 2019 and April 2016, respectively, and are early-stage startup companies, they have no significant operating history.  Further, while the Asset Manager is also the Asset Manager for RSE Collection, LLC, another series limited liability company with a similar business model in the collectible automobile asset class, and thus has some similar management experience, its experience is limited, and it has no experience selecting or managing assets in the Asset Class.

In addition, the success of the Company (and therefore, the Interests) will be highly dependent on the expertise and performance of the Manager and the Asset Manager and their respective teams, the Asset Manager’s expert network and other investment professionals (which may include third parties) to source, acquire and manage the Underlying Assets.  There can be no assurance that these individuals will continue to be associated with the Manager or the Asset Manager.  The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a material and adverse effect on the Underlying Assets and, in particular, their ongoing management and use to support the investment of the Interest Holders.

Furthermore, the success of the Company and the value of the Interests is dependent on there being a critical mass from the market for the Interests and that the Company is able to acquire a number of Underlying Assets in multiple Series of Interests so that the Investors can benefit from economies of scale which arise from holding more than one Underlying Asset (e.g., a reduction in transport costs if a large number of Underlying Assets are transported at the same time).  In the event that the Company is unable to source additional Underlying Assets due to, for example, competition for such Underlying Assets or lack of Underlying Assets available in the marketplace, then this could materially impact the success of the Company and each Series by hindering its ability to acquire additional Underlying Assets through the issuance of further Series of Interests and monetizing them together with the Underlying Assets at


39


the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to generate distributions for Investors.

If the Company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then Investors may have to share any liabilities of the Company with all Investors and not just those who hold the same Series of Interests as them.

The Company is structured as a Delaware series limited liability company that issues a separate Series of Interests for each Underlying Asset.  Each Series of Interests will merely be a separate Series and not a separate legal entity.  Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”), if certain conditions (as set forth in Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act) are met, the liability of Investors holding one Series of Interests is segregated from the liability of Investors holding another Series of Interests and the assets of one Series of Interests are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other Series of Interests.  Although this limitation of liability is recognized by the courts of Delaware, there is no guarantee that if challenged in the courts of another U.S. State or a foreign jurisdiction, such courts will uphold a similar interpretation of Delaware corporation law, and in the past certain jurisdictions have not honored such interpretation.  If the Company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then Investors may have to share any liabilities of the Company with all Investors and not just those who hold the same Series of Interests as them.  Furthermore, while we intend to maintain separate and distinct records for each Series of Interests and account for them separately and otherwise meet the requirements of the LLC Act, it is possible a court could conclude that the methods used did not satisfy Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act and thus potentially expose the assets of a Series to the liabilities of another Series of Interests.  The consequence of this is that Investors may have to bear higher than anticipated expenses which would adversely affect the value of their Interests or the likelihood of any distributions being made by a particular Series to its Investors.  In addition, we are not aware of any court case that has tested the limitations on inter-series liability provided by Section 18-215(b) in federal bankruptcy courts and it is possible that a bankruptcy court could determine that the assets of one Series of Interests should be applied to meet the liabilities of the other Series of Interests or the liabilities of the Company generally where the assets of such other Series of Interests or of the Company generally are insufficient to meet our liabilities.

For the avoidance of doubt, at the time of this filing, the Company and the Series highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table have not commenced operations, are not capitalized and have no assets or liabilities and no Series will commence operations, be capitalized or have assets and liabilities until such time as a Closing related to such Series has occurred.

If any fees, costs and expenses of the Company are not allocable to a specific Series of Interests, they will be borne proportionately across all of the Series of Interests (which may include future Series of Interests to be issued).  Although the Manager will allocate fees, costs and expenses acting reasonably and in accordance with its allocation policy (see “Description of the Business – Allocations of Expenses” section), there may be situations where it is difficult to allocate fees, costs and expenses to a specific Series of Interests and therefore, there is a risk that a Series of Interests may bear a proportion of the fees, costs and expenses for a service or product for which another Series of Interests received a disproportionately high benefit.

We are currently expanding and improving our information technology systems and use security measures designed to protect our systems against breaches and cyber-attacks.  If these efforts are not successful, our business and operations could be disrupted, our operating results and reputation could be harmed, and the value of the Interests could be materially and adversely affected.

The highly automated nature of the Platform through which potential Investors may acquire or transfer Interests may make it an attractive target and potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions.  The Platform processes certain confidential information about Investors, the Asset Sellers and the Underlying Assets.  While we intend to take commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidential information and maintain appropriate cybersecurity, the security measures of the Platform, the Company, the Asset Manager, the Manager, or any of their respective service providers could be breached.  Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to the Platform could cause confidential information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes or have other harmful effects.  Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose the Company to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity, or loss of the proprietary nature of the Asset Manager’s, the Manager’s, and the Company’s trade secrets.  If security measures are breached because of third-


40


party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in the Platform software are exposed and exploited, the relationships between the Company, Investors, users and the Asset Sellers could be severely damaged, and the Company, the Asset Manager, or the Manager could incur significant liability or have their attention significantly diverted from utilization of the Underlying Assets, which could have a material negative impact on the value of Interests or the potential for distributions to be made on the Interests.

Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, the Company, the third-party hosting used by the Platform and other third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.  In addition, federal regulators and many federal and state laws and regulations require companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data.  These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause Investors, the Asset Sellers or service providers within the industry, including insurance companies, to lose confidence in the effectiveness of the secure nature of the Platform.  Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm the reputation of the Asset Manager, the Manager, the Company, and the Platform and the Company could lose Investors and the Asset Sellers.  This would impair the ability of the Company to achieve its objectives of acquiring additional Underlying Assets through the issuance of further Series of Interests and monetizing them at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”).

System limitations or failures could harm our business and may cause the Asset Manager or Manager to intervene into activity on our Platform.

Our business depends in large part on the integrity and performance of the technology, computer and communications systems supporting them. If new systems fail to operate as intended or our existing systems cannot expand to cope with increased demand or otherwise fail to perform, we could experience unanticipated disruptions in service, slower response times and delays in the introduction of new products and services. These consequences could result in service outages, adverse effects on primary issuance or Trading Windows, through the Platform and during Trading Windows (as described in “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”), resulting in decreased customer satisfaction and regulatory sanctions.

Our Platform has experienced systems failures and delays in the past and could experience future systems failures and delays. In such cases the Asset Manager has and may in future (along with the Manager) take corrective actions as it reasonably believes are in the best interests of Investors or potential Investors. For example, our technology system has in certain instances over-counted the number of subscriptions made in an initial Offering, when volume of subscriptions has rapidly increased. In these cases, the Asset Manager has confirmed with the Investors to remove the duplicate subscriptions and rather than opening the Offering back up for additional Investors, has purchased the Interests underlying such duplicate subscriptions for its own account at the same terms as all other Investors would purchase such Interests.   

If subscription or trading volumes in future increase unexpectedly or other unanticipated events occur, we may need to expand and upgrade our technology, transaction processing systems and network infrastructure. We do not know whether we will be able to accurately project the rate, timing or cost of any volume increases, or expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate any increases in a timely manner.

While we have programs in place to identify and minimize our exposure to vulnerabilities and to share corrective measures with our business partners, we cannot guarantee that such events will not occur in the future. Any system issue that causes an interruption in services, including the Platform, decreases the responsiveness of our services or otherwise affects our services could impair our reputation, damage our brand name and negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our Platform is highly technical and may be at a risk to malfunction.

Our Platform is a complex system composed of many interoperating components and incorporates software that is highly complex. Our business is dependent upon our ability to prevent system interruption on our Platform. Our software, including open source software that is incorporated into our code, may now or in the future contain undetected errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities. Some errors in our software code may only be discovered after the code


41


has been released. Bugs in our software, third-party software including open source software that is incorporated into our code, misconfigurations of our systems, and unintended interactions between systems could cause downtime that would impact the availability of our service to Platform users. We have from time to time found defects or errors in our system and may discover additional defects in the future that could result in Platform unavailability or system disruption. In addition, we have experienced outages on our Platform due to circumstances within our control, such as outages due to software limitations. We rely on Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”) data centers for the operation of our Platform. If the AWS data centers fail, our Platform users may experience down time. If sustained or repeated, any of these outages could reduce the attractiveness of our Platform to Platform users. In addition, our release of new software in the past has inadvertently caused, and may in the future cause, interruptions in the availability or functionality of our Platform. Any errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities discovered in our code or systems after release could result in an interruption in the availability of our Platform or a negative experience for users and Investors and could also result in negative publicity and unfavorable media coverage, damage to our reputation, loss of Platform users, loss of revenue or liability for damages, regulatory inquiries, or other proceedings, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

There can be no guarantee that any liquidity mechanism for secondary sales of Interests will develop on our Platform in the manner described, that registered broker-dealers will desire to facilitate liquidity in the Interests for a level of fees that would be acceptable to Investors or at all, that such Trading Windows will occur with high frequency if at all, that a market-clearing price (e.g., a price at which there is overlap between bid and ask prices) will be established during any Trading Window or that any buy or sell orders will be filled.  

We anticipate that liquidity will be limited until sufficient interest has been generated on the Rally Rd. TM Platform, which may never occur (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information).  Liquidity for the Interests would in large part depend on the market supply of and demand for Interests during the Trading Window (as described in “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”), as well as applicable laws and restrictions under the Company’s Operating Agreement. It is anticipated, however, that such Trading Windows would happen on a recurring basis, although there can be no assurance that Trading Windows will occur on a regular basis or at all. Further, the frequency and duration of any Trading Window would be subject to adjustment by the brokers.

We do not anticipate the use of Manager-owned Interests for liquidity or to facilitate the resale of Interests held by Investors.

Currently, the Manager does not intend to sell any Interests which it holds or may hold prior to the liquidation of an Underlying Asset.  Thus, the Manager does not currently intend to take any action which might provide liquidity or facilitate the resale of Interests held by Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may from time to time transfer a small number of Interests to unrelated third parties for promotional purposes. Furthermore, the Manager may from time to time decide to sell a portion of Interests it owns in a particular Series through the Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information) or in any other manner otherwise permitted under the Company’s Operating Agreement.

Abuse of our advertising or social platforms may harm our reputation or user engagement.

 The Asset Manager provides content or posts ads about the Company and Series through various social media platforms that may be influenced by third parties. Our reputation or user engagement may be negatively affected by activity that is hostile or inappropriate to other people, by users impersonating other people or organizations, by disseminating information about us or to us that may be viewed as misleading or intended to manipulate the opinions of our users, or by the use of the Asset Manager’s products or services, including the Platform, that violates our terms of service or otherwise for objectionable or illegal ends. Preventing these actions may require us to make substantial investments in people and technology and these investments may not be successful, adversely affecting our business.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed, or we could be required to incur significant expenses to enforce our rights.

Our ability to compete effectively is dependent in part upon our ability to protect our proprietary technology.  We rely on trademarks, trade secret laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect our intellectual property rights.  


42


There can be no assurance these protections will be available in all cases or will be adequate to prevent our competitors from copying, reverse engineering or otherwise obtaining and using our technology, proprietary rights or products To prevent substantial unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, it may be necessary to prosecute actions for infringement and/or misappropriation of our proprietary rights against third parties.  Any such action could result in significant costs and diversion of our resources and management’s attention, and there can be no assurance we will be successful in such action.  If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and on the value of the Interests.

Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. As of March 2020, COVID-19 has spread to other countries, including the United States, and has been declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified and the U.S., Europe and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. A widespread health crisis could adversely affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the value of the Underlying Assets and Investor demand for Offerings and the Asset Class generally.

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause an economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has begun to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

 

Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect our business.

Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis, such as the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases could adversely affect the value of the Underlying Assets and our Investors or prospective Investors financial condition, resulting in reduced demand for the Offerings and the Asset Class generally. Further, such risks could cause a decrease to the attendance of our Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”), or cause certain of our partners to avoid holding in person events. Moreover, an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak or other public health crisis, such as COVID-19, could cause employees of the Asset Manager, in whom we rely to manage the logistics of our business, including Membership Experience Programs, or on-site employees of partners to avoid any involvement with our Membership Experience Programs, which would adversely affect our ability to hold such events or to adequately staff and manage our businesses.  “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities could also disrupt our operations, if employees who cannot perform their responsibilities from home, are not able to report to work. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our facilities or operations of our sourcing partners for the Underlying Assets.

Risks relating to the Offerings

We are offering our Interests pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to Tier 2 issuers will make our Interests less attractive to Investors as compared to a traditional initial public offering.

As a Tier 2 issuer, we are subject to scaled disclosure and reporting requirements which may make an investment in our Interests less attractive to Investors who are accustomed to enhanced disclosure and more frequent financial reporting.  The differences between disclosures for Tier 2 issuers versus those for emerging growth companies include, without limitation, only needing to file final semiannual reports as opposed to quarterly reports and far fewer circumstances where a current disclosure would be required.  In addition, given the relative lack of regulatory precedent regarding the recent amendments to Regulation A, there is some regulatory uncertainty in regard to how the Commission or the individual state securities regulators will regulate both the offer and sale of our securities, as well as any ongoing compliance that we may be subject to.  For example, a number of states have yet to determine the types of filings and amount of fees that are required for such an Offering.  If our scaled disclosure and reporting requirements, or regulatory uncertainty regarding Regulation A, reduces the attractiveness of the Interests, we may be unable to raise the funds necessary to fund future Offerings, which could impair our ability to develop a diversified portfolio of Underlying Assets and create economies of scale, which may adversely affect the value of the Interests or the ability to make distributions to Investors.

There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements, and if we are unable to adequately evaluate internal controls, we may be subject to sanctions.

As a Tier 2 issuer, we will not need to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and we will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as we are a Tier 2 issuer.  We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations.

If a regulator determines that the activities of either the Manager or Asset Manager require its registration as a broker-dealer, the Asset Manager or Manager may be required to cease operations and any Series of Interests offered and sold without such proper registration may be subject to a right of rescission.

The sale of membership Interests is being facilitated by the BOR, a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act and member of FINRA, which 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 will not solicit purchases and will not make any recommendations regarding the Interests.  Neither the BOR, nor any other entity, receives a finder’s fee or any underwriting or placement agent discounts or commissions in relation to any Offering of Interests. If a regulatory authority determines that the Asset Manager or the Manager, neither of which is a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act or any state securities laws, has itself engaged in brokerage activities that require registration, including initial sale of the Interests on the Platform and permitting a registered broker-dealer to facilitate resales or other liquidity of the Interests on the Platform (see “Description of the Business - Liquidity Platform” for additional information), the Asset Manager or the Manager may need to stop operating and therefore, the Company would not have an entity managing the Series’ Underlying Assets.  In addition, if the Manager or Asset Manager is found to have engaged in activities requiring registration as “broker-dealer” without either being properly registered as such, there is a risk that any Series of Interests offered and sold while the Manager or Asset Manager was not so registered may be subject to a right of rescission, which may result in the early termination of the Offerings.  

If at any time regulators deem the Liquidity Platform a securities exchange or alternative trading system this may require us to cease operating the Platform and will materially and adversely affect your ability to transfer your Interests.

Regulators may determine that the Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”) linked in the Platform may be a securities exchange under the Exchange Act.  While we do not believe that the Liquidity Platform is a securities exchange, if it is deemed to be a securities exchange then we would be


44


required to register as a securities exchange or qualify as an alternative trading system, either of which would significantly increase the overhead of Asset Manager and could cause Asset Manager to wind down the Platform.  Further, if we are found to be in violation of the Exchange Act due to operation of an unregistered exchange, we could be subject to significant monetary penalties, censure or other actions that may have a material and adverse effect on Asset Manager and may require it to cease operating the Platform or otherwise be unable to maintain the Liquidity Platform, which would adversely affect your ability to transfer your Interests.

If we are required to register under the Exchange Act, it would result in significant expense and reporting requirements that would place a burden on the Manager and Asset Manager and may divert attention from management of the Underlying Assets by the Manager and Asset Manager or could cause Asset Manager to no longer be able to afford to run our business.

The Exchange Act requires issuers with more than $10 million in total assets to register its equity securities under the Exchange Act if its securities are held of record by more than 2,000 persons or 500 persons who are not “accredited investors”.  While our Operating Agreement presently prohibits any transfer that would result in any Series being held of record by more than 2,000 persons or 500 non-“accredited investors”, there can be no guarantee that we will not exceed those limits and the Manager has the ability to unilaterally amend the Operating Agreement to permit holdings that exceed those limits.  Series may have more than 2,000 total Interests, which would make it more likely that there accidentally would be greater than 2,000 beneficial owners of or 500 non- “accredited investors” in that Series.  If we are required to register under the Exchange Act, it would result in significant expense and reporting requirements that would place a burden on the Manager and Asset Manager  and may divert attention from management of the Underlying Assets by the Manager and Asset Manager or could cause Asset Manager to no longer be able to afford to run our business.

If the Company were to be required to register under the Investment Company Act or the Manager or the Asset Manager were to be required to register under the Investment Advisers Act, it could have a material and adverse impact on the results of operations and expenses of each Series and the Manager and the Asset Manager may be forced to liquidate and wind up each Series of Interests or rescind the Offerings for any of the Series or the Offering for any other Series of Interests.

The Company is not registered and will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and neither the Manager nor the Asset Manager is or will be registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”) and the Interests do not have the benefit of the protections of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act.  The Company, the Manager and the Asset Manager have taken the position that the Underlying Assets are not “securities” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act, and thus the Company’s assets will consist of less than 40% investment securities under the Investment Company Act and the Manager and the Asset Manager are not and will not be advising with respect to securities under the Investment Advisers Act.  This position, however, is based upon applicable case law that is inherently subject to judgments and interpretation.  If the Company were to be required to register under the Investment Company Act or the Manager or the Asset Manager were to be required to register under the Investment Advisers Act, it could have a material and adverse impact on the results of operations and expenses of each Series and the Manager and the Asset Manager may be forced to liquidate and wind up each Series of Interests or rescind the Offerings for any of the Series or the Offering for any other Series of Interests.

Possible Changes in Federal Tax Laws.

The Code (as described in “Material United States Tax Considerations”) is subject to change by Congress, and interpretations of the Code may be modified or affected by judicial decisions, by the Treasury Department through changes in regulations and by the Internal Revenue Service through its audit policy, announcements, and published and private rulings. Although significant changes to the tax laws historically have been given prospective application, no assurance can be given that any changes made in the tax law affecting an investment in any Series of Interests of the Company would be limited to prospective effect. For instance, prior to effectiveness of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, an exchange of the Interests of one Series for another might have been a non-taxable ‘like-kind exchange’ transaction, while transactions now only qualify for that treatment with respect to real property.  Accordingly, the


45


ultimate effect on an Investor’s tax situation may be governed by laws, regulations or interpretations of laws or regulations which have not yet been proposed, passed or made, as the case may be.

Risks Specific to the Industry and the Asset Class

Government regulation specific to alcohol related Underlying Assets.

Alcohol is regulated and can only be sold to individuals of drinking age, over 21 in the United States.   

In the United States a three-tiered distribution system gives individual states the ability to regulate how alcohol is sold Alcohol has regulation around who has access to it, who is able to purchase it and how it’s owned.  There are regulatory restrictions around licensed entities and how they transact alcohol. Each state regulates alcohol individually from one another, which creates unique and complex regulatory requirements.

Imported alcohol in most international jurisdictions is subject to importing and export regulations which may include excise tax, customs declarations and extensive administrative requirements. As such, imported alcohol is subject to more regulation and to the rules and regulations in the country or state to which it’s being sold.

Should trade policies between countries change or social perceptions alter, imported alcohol may suffer disproportionately to domestically produced alcohol. Given the complexity of the regulatory environment and the regulated nature of the product, any changes in the regulatory environment have the ability to impact the value or liquidity of alcohol.

We do not currently hold any of the necessary licenses related to alcohol and as such, plan to partner with third parties that are in possession of the necessary licenses, if these were required to run the business, or we may decide not to acquire alcohol related Underlying Assets at all. There can be no guarantee that we will find any third parties with the appropriate licenses to partner with.

The complicated and overlapping systems of regulating alcohol in the United States may adversely impact our ability to either acquire or dispose of an alcohol-related Underlying Asset on a favorable basis.

 

The United States maintains separate systems at the federal and state levels for the buying, selling and transportation of alcohol. Certain states have restrictions on licensing requirements as well as where and how alcohol can be bought and sold. Most states maintain three tiers of distribution where there is an importer/distributor, a retailer and then the consumer.  In some states the quantity of alcohol that can be purchased directly is limited or non-existent. In other instances, the state maintains the supply of alcohol and how it is sold into the consumer markets.   Further, this three-tiered system is subject to constant change and periodic regulatory challenge.  As such, the complex and fluid nature of the three-tier system could materially and adversely impact our ability to ether obtain alcohol-related Underlying Assets or our ability to divest such Underlying Assets on a favorable basis.

 

Potential negative changes within the Asset Class.

 

The Asset Class is subject to various risks, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, changes in tax rates, consumer confidence and brand exposure, as well as risks associated with the Asset Class in general, including, but not limited to, economic downturns and other challenges affecting the global economy including the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the availability of desirable Memorabilia Assets. Changes in the Asset Class could have a material and adverse effect upon the Company’s ability to achieve its investment objectives of acquiring additional Underlying Assets through the issuance of further Series of Interests and monetizing them at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to generate distributions for Investors.


46


 

Lack of Diversification.

It is not anticipated that any Series would own assets other than its respective Underlying Asset, plus potential cash reserves for maintenance, storage, insurance and other expenses pertaining to the Underlying Asset and amounts earned by such Series from the monetization of the Underlying Asset.  Investors looking for diversification will have to create their own diversified portfolio by investing in other opportunities in addition to any one Series.

Industry concentration and general downturn in industry.

Given the concentrated nature of the Underlying Assets (i.e., only Memorabilia Assets) any downturn in the Asset Class is likely to impact the value of the Underlying Assets, and consequently the value of the Interests. Popularity within categories of the broader market (e.g. baseball or football) can impact the value of the Underlying Assets within categories of the Asset Class (e.g. baseball cards or football jerseys), and consequently the value of the Interests. The value of such Memorabilia Assets may be impacted if an economic downturn occurs and there is less disposable income for individuals to invest in the Asset Class.  In the event of a downturn in the industry, the value of the Underlying Assets is likely to decrease.

Volatile demand for the assets in the Asset Class.

Volatility of demand for luxury goods, in particular high value Memorabilia Assets, may adversely affect a Series’ ability to achieve its investment purpose.  The Asset Class has been subject to volatility in demand in recent periods, particularly around certain categories of assets and investor tastes (ex. trading cards).  Demand for high value Memorabilia Assets depends to a large extent on general, economic, political, and social conditions in a given market as well as the tastes of the collector community and in the case of sports, the general fan community resulting in changes of which Memorabilia Assets are most sought after.  

Volatility in demand may lead to volatility in the value of the Underlying Assets, which may result in further downward price pressure and adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve its objective of acquiring additional Underlying Assets through the issuance of further Series of Interests and monetizing them at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to generate distributions for Investors. In addition, the lack of demand may reduce any further issuance of Series of Interests and acquisition of more Underlying Assets, thus limiting the benefits the Investors already holding Series of Interests could receive from there being economies of scale (e.g., cheaper insurance due to a number of Underlying Assets requiring insurance) and other monetization opportunities (e.g., hosting shows with the collection of Memorabilia Assets).  These effects may have a more pronounced impact given the limited number of Underlying Assets held by the Company in the short-term.

We will rely on data from past auction sales and insurance data, among other sources, in determining the value of the Underlying Assets, and have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information.  As such, valuations of the Underlying Assets may be subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

As explained in “Description of the Business”, the Asset Class is difficult to value, and it is hoped the Platform will help create a market by which the Interests (and, indirectly, the Underlying Assets) may be more accurately valued due to the creation of a larger market for the Asset Class than exists from current means.  Until the Platform has created such a market, valuations of the Underlying Assets will be based upon the subjective approach taken by the members of the Manager’s expert network and members of the Advisory Board, valuation experts appointed by the Asset Seller or other data provided by third parties (e.g., auction results and previous sales history).  Due to the lack of third-party valuation reports and potential for one-of-a-kind assets, the value of the Underlying Assets may be more difficult for potential Investors to compare against a market benchmark. Furthermore, if similar assets to the Underlying Assets are created or discovered it could in turn negatively impact the value of the Underlying Assets.  The Manager sources data from past auction sales results and insurance data; however, it may rely on the accuracy of the underlying data without any means of detailed verification.  Consequently, valuations may be uncertain.


47


 

Risks relating to the Underlying Assets

The value of the Underlying Assets and, consequently, the value of an Investor’s Interests can go down as well as up.  

Valuations are not guarantees of realizable price, do not necessarily represent the price at which the Interests may be sold on the Platform and the value of the Underlying Assets may be materially affected by a number of factors outside the control of the Company, including, any volatility in the economic markets, the condition of the Underlying Assets and physical matters arising from the state of their condition.

Competition in the Asset Class from other business models.

There is potentially significant competition for Underlying Assets in the Asset Class from a wide variety of market participants depending on the actual asset.  While the majority of transactions in which we obtain Underlying Assets continues to be peer-to-peer with very limited public information, other market players such as dealers, trade fares and auction houses may play an increasing role. Furthermore, the presence of corporations such as eBay or Amazon or direct to consumer players in the Asset Class will continue to increase the level of further competition from non-traditional players.

This continually increasing level of competition may impact the liquidity of some or all of the Interests, as liquidity is, among other things, dependent on the Company acquiring attractive and desirable Underlying Assets.  This helps ensure that there is an appetite of potential Investors for the Interests. In addition, there are companies that are developing crowd funding models for other alternative asset classes, such as art, who may decide to enter the Asset Class as well.

Dependence of an Underlying Asset on prior user or association.

The value of a Memorabilia Asset is likely to be connected to its association with, a certain person or group or in connection with certain events (prior to or following the acquisition of the Underlying Asset by the Company). In the event that such person, group or event loses public affection, then this may adversely impact the value of the Memorabilia Asset and therefore, the Series of Interests that relate to such Underlying Asset. For example, San Francisco Giants’ outfielder Barry Bonds was on a career path to becoming a first-ballot Hall of Famer due to his home run records. At the turn of the century his game used memorabilia and cards were at a premium. However, steroid use and a poor public image not only put his Hall of Fame election in doubt but also damaged the value of his memorabilia. The same can also be said for a promising rookie whose career either ends prematurely due to injury or does not meet all the early expectations placed on them. There may be some loss of confidence if the producer of the Underlying Assets had been making false claims of organic or sustainable practices. Any false statements regarding practices of production, including the use of chemicals may negatively impact the value of the Underlying Asset.

Dependence on the brand of the producer of Underlying Assets.

The Underlying Assets of the Company will consist of Memorabilia Assets from a very wide variety of manufacturers, many of which are still in operation today.  The demand for the Underlying Assets, and therefore, each Series of Interests, may be influenced by the general perception of the Underlying Assets that manufacturers are producing today.  In addition, the manufacturers’ business practices may result in the image and value of the Underlying Asset produced by certain manufacturers being damaged.  This in turn may have a negative impact on the Underlying Assets made by such manufacturers and, in particular, the value of the Underlying Assets and, consequently, the value of the Series of Interests that relate to such Underlying Asset. For example, the reputation of a manufacturer of certain sporting equipment that is used by a prominent player may impact the collectability of such equipment. For example, the reputation of an Underlying Asset producer that experiences an acquisition or loss of perceived independence, may impact the collectability of Underlying Assets as part of a larger portfolio. There may also be instances where the production location for the Underlying Assets location may have been affected by climatic or political events that limit the ability to produce the product at the same level

Title, authenticity or infringement claims on an Underlying Asset.


48


There is no guarantee that an Underlying Asset will be free of any claims regarding title and authenticity (e.g., counterfeit or previously stolen items) even after verification through a third-party authenticator, or that such claims may arise after acquisition of an Underlying Asset by a Series of Interests.  The Company may not have complete ownership history or records for an Underlying Asset.  In the event of a title or authenticity claim against the Company, the Company may not have recourse against the Asset Seller or the benefit of insurance and the value of the Underlying Asset and the Series that relates to that Underlying Asset, may be diminished.  Furthermore, the Company and the Underlying Asset could be adversely affected if a piece of memorabilia, such as a sports card, was found to be created without all appropriate consents, such as consent from the athlete or league.

There are risks associated with reliance on third party authenticators.

While there is no guarantee that an Underlying Asset will be free of fraud, we intend to mitigate this risk by having the item graded or authenticated by a reputable firm. In the event of an authenticity claim against an authenticated item, the Company may have recourse for reimbursement from the authenticator, although there can be no guarantee of the Company’s ability to collect or the authenticator’s ability to pay. 

Furthermore, authenticators may occasionally make mistakes by either giving their approval or grade to a counterfeit card or piece of memorabilia. Sometimes this mistake is not uncovered until years later when evidence to the contrary surfaces or updated scientific methods are applied. The Company may not have recourse, if such an event occurs, and the value of the Underlying Asset will likely deteriorate. A piece of an Underlying Asset may also be mislabeled by an authenticator such as giving it the wrong year or attributing it to the wrong person, which may adversely affect its value. 

Additionally, it is possible that there are unknown issues with an Underlying Asset that are not immediately apparent but arise at a later date. For example, prior storage and display methodologies for an Underlying Asset might have adverse effects that are only apparent at a later date. Even through the asset undergoes an authentication process, there are still scenarios where these issues may not be apparent at the time of authentication.  Finally, there is reputational risk of the authenticator, which may fall out of favor with collectors, which may impact the value of all items authenticated by the particular authenticator.

Third party liability.

Each Series will assume all of the ownership risks attached to its Underlying Asset, including third party liability risks.  Therefore, a Series may be liable to a third party for any loss or damages incurred by such third party in connection with the Series’ Underlying Asset.  This would be a loss to the Series and, in turn, adversely affect the value of the Series and would negatively impact the ability of the Series to make distributions.

An Underlying Asset may be lost or damaged by causes beyond the Company’s control while being transported or when in storage or on display.  There can be no guarantee that insurance proceeds will be sufficient to pay the full market value of an Underlying Asset which has been damaged or lost which will result in a material and adverse effect in the value of the related Interests.

Any Underlying Asset may be lost or damaged by causes beyond the Company’s control when in storage or on display.  There is also a possibility that an Underlying Asset could be lost or damaged at Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”).  Any damage to an Underlying Asset or other liability incurred as a result of participation in these programs, including personal injury to participants, could adversely impact the value of the Underlying Asset or adversely increase the liabilities or Operating Expenses of its related Series of Interests.  Further, when an Underlying Asset has been purchased, it will be necessary to transport it to the Asset Manager’s preferred storage location or as required to participate in Membership Experience Programs.  An Underlying Asset may be lost or damaged in transit, and transportation, insurance or other expenses may be higher than anticipated due to the locations of particular events.  

Although we intend for the Underlying Assets to be insured at replacement cost (subject to policy terms and conditions), in the event of any claims against such insurance policies, there can be no guarantee that any losses or costs will be reimbursed, that an Underlying Asset can be replaced on a like-for-like basis or that any insurance


49


proceeds would be sufficient to pay the full market value (after paying for any outstanding liabilities including, but not limited to any outstanding balances under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations), if any, of the Interests.  In the event that damage is caused to an Underlying Asset, this will impact the value of the Underlying Asset, and consequently, the Interests related to the Underlying Asset, as well as the likelihood of any distributions being made by the applicable Series to its Investors.

In addition, at a future date, the Manager may decide to expand the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to include items where individual Investors or independent third parties may be able to become the caretaker of Underlying Assets for a certain period of time for an appropriate fee, assuming that the Manager believes that such models are expected to result in higher overall financial returns for all Investors in any Underlying Assets used in such models.  The feasibility from an insurance, safety, technological and financial perspective of such models has not yet been analyzed but may significantly increase the risk profile and the chance for loss of or damage to any Underlying Asset if utilized in such models.

Insurance of Underlying Assets may not cover all losses which will result in a material and adverse effect in the valuation of the Series related to such damaged Underlying Assets.

Insurance of any Underlying Asset may not cover all losses.  There are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war that may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. Inflation, environmental considerations and other factors, including terrorism or acts of war, also might make insurance proceeds insufficient to repair or replace an asset if it is damaged or destroyed.  Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds received might not be adequate to restore a Series’ economic position with respect to its affected Underlying Asset.  Furthermore, the Series related to such affected Underlying Assets would bear the expense of the payment of any deductible.  Any uninsured loss could result in both loss of cash flow from, and a decrease in value of, the affected Underlying Asset and, consequently, the Series that relates to such Underlying Asset.

Forced sale of Underlying Assets.

The Company may be forced to cause its various Series to sell one or more of the Underlying Assets (e.g., upon the bankruptcy of the Manager) and such a sale may occur at an inopportune time or at a lower value than when the Underlying Assets were first acquired or at a lower price than the aggregate of costs, fees and expenses used to purchase the Underlying Assets.  In addition, there may be liabilities related to the Underlying Assets, including, but not limited to Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations on the balance sheet of any Series at the time of a forced sale, which would be paid off prior to Investors receiving any distributions from a sale.  In such circumstances, the capital proceeds from any Underlying Asset and, therefore, the return available to Investors of the applicable Series, may be lower than could have been obtained if the Series held the Underlying Asset and sold it at a later date.

Lack of distributions and return of capital.

The revenue of each Series is expected to be derived primarily from the use of its Underlying Asset in Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) including “museum” style locations to visit assets and asset sponsorship models.  Membership Experience Programs have not been proven with respect to the Company and there can be no assurance that Membership Experience Programs will generate sufficient proceeds to cover fees, costs and expenses with respect to any Series.  In the event that the revenue generated in any given year does not cover the Operating Expenses of the applicable Series, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) provide a loan to the Series in the form of an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and/or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in the applicable Series in order to cover such additional amounts.

Any amount paid to the Manager or the Asset Manager in satisfaction of an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation would not be available to Investors as a distribution.  In the event additional Interests in a Series are issued, Investors in such Series would be diluted and would receive a smaller portion of distributions from future Free Cash Flows, if any.  Furthermore, if a Series or the Company is dissolved, there is no guarantee that the proceeds from liquidation will be sufficient to repay the Investors their initial investment or the market value, if any,


50


of the Interests at the time of liquidation.  See “Potentially high storage, maintenance and insurance costs for the Underlying Assets” for further details on the risks of escalating costs and expenses of the Underlying Assets.

Market manipulation or overproduction.

Market manipulation may be a risk with the Asset Class. For example, one trading card manufacturer was caught secretly producing examples of hard to find and valuable cards that were given to its executives. This loss of faith in the company led to a devaluation of the cards involved. Another example is that a modern football and baseball player is issued many uniforms over the course of a season. The more a team issues, the less exclusive said item becomes. Also, many players have exclusive contracts with outlets that sell the players game used uniforms and equipment. There is no way of knowing if a company or player is secretly hoarding items which might be “dumped” in the market at a later date. For certain sub-categories of the Asset Class, such as alcohol, there is a risk that assets similar or comparable to an alcohol related Underlying Asset may have been sold at auction, at retail or on an exchange that sets a valuation that may not accurately represent the market. The traditional auction and private investor for Memorabilia Assets is highly illiquid and dependent on independent brokers and insider relationships.  The pricing inefficiencies caused by the distribution system can afford an opportunity for collectors or third parties to stockpile Memorabilia Assets for eventual sale back into the market.  Sudden changes in supply may impact market pricing of a particular Underlying Asset.   

Forgeries or fraudulent Underlying Assets, lack of authentication.

The Asset Class requires a high level of expertise to understand both the basic product as well the formatting and packaging of an item.  Given the materials used for particular Memorabilia Assets, some may be relatively easy to replicate or otherwise forge. In addition, the history of ownership and provenance of a particular Underlying Asset may not be complete. As a result, we are highly reliant on the trusted name of the brand, retailer, authenticator or other conduit to ensure the integrity of the product.

Older vintages of alcohol related Underlying Assets add in another layer of complexity given the lack of transparency, published records and expert knowledge of a particular alcohol related Underlying Asset, vintage or bottle format.  Fraudulent bottles in the industry are often the result of older bottles being reconstituted and sold as an alcohol related Underlying Asset other than what is in the bottle.

Environmental damage could impact the value of an Underlying Asset which will result in a material and adverse effect in the value of the related Interests.

Improper storage may lead to the full or partial destruction of an Underlying Asset. For instance, trading cards, tickets, posters or other paper piece can be destroyed by exposure to water or moisture. Likewise, equipment such as a bat may warp, or a leather glove may grow mold due to exposure to the elements. Autographs that are signed with inferior writing instruments or rendered on an unstable substrate may fade or “bleed,” thereby reducing its value to collectors. 

Some of the defects may not be initially visible or apparent, for example moisture in a frame, and may only become visible at a later date, at which point the value of the Underlying Asset and in turn the Series may be impacted.  

The Asset Class demands specific requirements for proper long-term storage that take into account temperature, humidity, movement and exposure to sunlight (See “Description of the Business - Facilities” for additional information). For certain sub-categories of the Asset Class, such as alcohol, all of these factors can influence the aromas, aging process and overall integrity of the alcohol related Underlying Assets. Exposure to water, extreme heat or cold can dramatically impact the quality of an alcohol related Underlying Asset, for instance the bottle label can be destroyed by exposure to water or excessive moisture or the cork that maintains the quality and prevents oxygen from entering a bottle can become less reliable if exposed to the wrong environment.

Testing for environmental exposures targets the quality of the enclosure, the label and the bottles.  The alcohol related Underlying Asset can also be tasted for excessive exposure to heat or cold and will be reflected in the quality relative to its age and known provenance.  The chemistry of an alcohol related Underlying Asset can be  


51


confirmed in testing but most environment impact testing is subject to expert tasting, unless smoke taint or other chemical exposures are a concern for the product. Specifically, for wine, use of testing methods such as a Coravin, diminishes the value of a bottle of wine by exposing it to outside influences. Similarly, testing methods such as carbon dating, can be expensive relative to the cost of an alcohol related Underlying Asset and therefore could impact both the cash flow and value.

Potentially high storage and insurance costs for the Underlying Assets.

In order to protect and care for the Underlying Assets, the Manager must ensure adequate storage facilities, insurance coverage and, if required, maintenance work.  The cost of care may vary from year to year depending on changes in the insurance rates for covering the Underlying Assets and changes in the cost of storage for the Underlying Assets, and if required, the amount of maintenance performed.  It is anticipated that as the Company acquires more Underlying Assets, the Manager may be able to negotiate a discount on the costs of storage, insurance and maintenance due to economies of scale.  These reductions are dependent on the Company acquiring a number of Underlying Assets and service providers being willing to negotiate volume discounts and, therefore, are not guaranteed.

If costs turn out to be higher than expected, this would impact the value of the Interests related to an Underlying Asset, the amount of distributions made to Investors holding the Interests, on potential proceeds from a sale of the Underlying Asset (if ever), and any capital proceeds returned to Investors after paying for any outstanding liabilities, including, but not limited to any outstanding balances under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation. See “Lack of distributions and return of capital” for further details of the impact of these costs on returns to Investors.

Drinking windows for alcohol related Underlying Assets.

Some alcohol related Underlying Assets, such as bottles of wine or whiskey, are often valued in the open market or at auctions based on the drinking window attributed to it upon release to the market. Drinking windows are essentially a range of years when an alcohol related Underlying Asset will be optimal for drinking.  Drinking windows are highly subjective and are a function of the weather during the production season, the experience of the taster, as well as the environment during the tasting.  Theoretically, a drinking window is applied to an alcohol related Underlying Asset that is stored in ideal conditions and allowed to age in that environment. Variations in storage and the environment an alcohol related Underlying Asset is exposed to can change the accuracy of a drinking window. Drinking windows are reviewed in the course of asset selection to determine relative value, but there can be no guarantee they are accurate or applicable to every alcohol related Underlying Asset. As the drinking window closes, the alcohol, in particular wine, will start to lose the integration of its components including the distinct flavors and floral scents; the color, smell and taste will all reflect the closing of the drinking window.  The color will start to appear brown, the nose will start to lose its characteristics and the flavor will eventually fade to a dusty, musty expression of its former self. A wine of a certain vintage will eventually become undrinkable , which will likely materially and adversely effect the value of an alcohol related Underlying Asset of such a vintage

Risks related to the Coravin testing method for alcohol related Underlying Assets.

Collectors, wine retailers, restaurants, producers and distributers have broadly adopted the use of the Coravin wine tasting system. The Coravin wine tasting and preservation system uses a medical grade needle to inject Argon gas into a cork that then allows for a sample of wine to be removed from the bottle without exposing it to excessive oxygen by not having to open it at all. Coravin is generally used commercially for tasting wines and preserving the longevity of the bottle by consumers and enterprises, however the use of a Coravin diminishes the value of the bottle by exposing it to outside influences.  There have been instances at auctions where bottles that have been exposed to a Coravin are viewed as less valuable as the enclosure has been compromised and wine will have been removed from the bottle. Every effort will be made to avoid acquiring an alcohol related Underlying Assets which has been exposed to a Coravin, but there can be no guarantees that an alcohol related Underlying Asset has not been exposed.   

General sentiment of underlying fan base.


52


This is particularly prominent in sports memorabilia, but also holds true for memorabilia categories such as movie franchises, musicians, and others.  

By example, leagues such as the NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL have a long and reputable fan base. However, events, such as player strikes, general public appeal of a league or a particular sport, may have an impact on the associated Underlying Assets. For instance, the NHL strike of 1994-1995 caused a loss of fan interest. Upstart leagues such as the USFL in football may cause an early interest in memorabilia from that league but may lose interest from lack of success.

Similarly, various forms of Memorabilia Assets go in and out of favor with collectors. For example, there was a renewed interest in soccer within the United States after the U.S. team won the Women’s World Cup in 2012. When there were no further victories on the same scale, the value of and interest in women’s soccer memorabilia generally returned to previous levels.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Interests

Lack of voting rights.

The Manager has a unilateral ability to amend the Operating Agreement and the allocation policy in certain circumstances without the consent of the Investors.  The Investors only have limited voting rights in respect of the Series of Interests.  Investors will therefore be subject to any amendments the Manager makes (if any) to the Operating Agreement and allocation policy and also any decision it takes in respect of the Company and the applicable Series, which the Investors do not get a right to vote upon. Investors may not necessarily agree with such amendments or decisions and such amendments or decisions may not be in the best interests of all of the Investors as a whole but only a limited number.

Furthermore, the Manager can only be removed as Manager of the Company and each Series in very limited circumstances, following a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with the Company or a Series of Interests. Investors would therefore not be able to remove the Manager merely because they did not agree, for example, with how the Manager was operating an Underlying Asset.

The Offering price for the Interests determined by us may not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria such as earnings, book value or assets that may be agreed to between purchasers and sellers in private transactions or that may prevail in the market if and when our Interests can be traded publicly.

The price of the Interests is a derivative result of our negotiations with Asset Sellers based upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, our future prospects and our capital structure, as well as certain expenses incurred in connection with the Offering and the acquisition of each Underlying Asset.  These prices do not necessarily accurately reflect the actual value of the Interests or the price that may be realized upon disposition of the Interests.

If a market ever develops for the Interests, the market price and trading volume of our Interests may be volatile.

If a market develops for the Interests, through the Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information) or otherwise, the market price of the Interests could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including reasons unrelated to our performance, any Underlying Asset or any Series, such as reports by industry analysts, Investor perceptions, or announcements by our competitors regarding their own performance, as well as general economic and industry conditions.  For example, to the extent that other companies, whether large or small, within our industry experience declines in their share price, the value of Interests may decline as well.

In addition, fluctuations in operating results of a particular Series or the failure of operating results to meet the expectations of Investors may negatively impact the price of our securities.  Operating results may fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors that could negatively affect revenues or expenses in any particular reporting period, including vulnerability of our business to a general economic downturn; changes in the laws that affect our operations;


53


competition; compensation related expenses; application of accounting standards; seasonality; and our ability to obtain and maintain all necessary government certifications or licenses to conduct our business.

Funds from purchasers accompanying subscriptions for the Interests will not accrue interest while in escrow.

The funds paid by a subscriber for Interests will be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account until the admission of the subscriber as an Investor in the applicable Series, if such subscription is accepted. Purchasers will not have the use of such funds or receive interest thereon pending the completion of the Offering. No subscriptions will be accepted, and no Interests will be sold unless valid subscriptions for the Offering are received and accepted prior to the termination of the applicable Offering Period. It is also anticipated that subscriptions will not be accepted from prospective Investors located in states where the BOR is not registered as a broker-dealer. If we terminate an Offering prior to accepting a subscriber’s subscription, escrowed funds will be returned promptly, without interest or deduction, to the proposed Investor.

Any dispute in relation to the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, except where Federal law requires that certain claims be brought in Federal courts.  Our Operating Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, provides for Investors to waive their right to a jury trial.

 

Each Investor will covenant and agree not to bring any claim in any venue other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if required by Federal law, a Federal court of the United States, as in the case of claims brought under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.  Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction, and Investors will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

If an Interest Holder were to bring a claim against the Company or the Manager pursuant to the Operating Agreement and such claim was governed by state law, it would have to bring such claim in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Our Operating Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to limited exceptions, provides for Investors to consent to exclusive jurisdiction to Delaware Court of Chancery and for a waiver of the right to a trial by jury, if such waiver is allowed by the court where the claim is brought.

 

If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by the United States Supreme Court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the Delaware, which govern our Operating Agreement, by a federal or state court in the State of Delaware, which has exclusive jurisdiction over matters arising under the Operating Agreement. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial.

 

We believe that this is the case with respect to our Operating Agreement and our Interests. It is advisable that you consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the Operating Agreement.  Nevertheless, if this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the Operating Agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the Operating Agreement or our Interests serves as a waiver by any Investor or beneficial owner of our Interests or by us of compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Additionally, the Company does not believe that claims under the federal securities laws shall be subject to the jury trial waiver provision, and the


54


Company believes that the provision does not impact the rights of any Investor or beneficial owner of our Interests to bring claims under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

These provisions may have the effect of limiting the ability of Investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations and may limit an Investor’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us. Furthermore, waiver of a trial by jury may disadvantage an Investor to the extent a judge might be less likely than a jury to resolve an action in the Investor’s favor. Further, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, an action or proceeding against us, then we may incur additional costs associated with resolving these matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.


55


 

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

We have identified the following conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the Interests, in particular, in relation to the Company, the Asset Manager, the Manager and the Underlying Assets.  The conflicts of interest described in this section should not be considered as an exhaustive list of the conflicts of interest that prospective Investors should consider before investing in the Interests.

Our Operating Agreement contains provisions that reduce or eliminate duties (including fiduciary duties) of the Manager.

Our Operating Agreement provides that the Manager, in exercising its rights in its capacity as the Manager, will be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and will have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting us or any of our Investors and will not be subject to any different standards imposed by our Operating Agreement, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or under any other law, rule or regulation or in equity.  These modifications of fiduciary duties are expressly permitted by Delaware law.

We do not have a conflicts of interest policy.

The Company, the Manager and their affiliates will try to balance the Company’s interests with their own.  However, to the extent that such parties take actions that are more favorable to other entities than the Company, these actions could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance and, consequently, on distributions to Investors and the value of the Interests.  The Company has not adopted, and does not intend to adopt in the future, either a conflicts of interest policy or a conflicts resolution policy.

Payments from the Company to the Manager, the Asset Manager and their respective employees or affiliates.

The Manager and the Asset Manager will engage with, on behalf of the Company, a number of brokers, dealers, Asset Sellers, insurance companies, storage and maintenance providers and other service providers and thus may receive in-kind discounts, for example, free shipping or servicing.  In such circumstances, it is likely that these in-kind discounts may be retained for the benefit of the Manager or the Asset Manager and not the Company or may apply disproportionately to other Series of Interests.  The Manager or the Asset Manager may be incentivized to choose a broker, dealer or Asset Seller based on the benefits they are to receive, or all Series of Interests collectively are to receive rather than that which is best for a particular Series of Interests.

Members of the expert network and the Advisory Board are often dealers and brokers within the Asset Class themselves and therefore will be incentivized to sell the Company their own Underlying Assets at potentially inflated market prices. In certain cases, a member of the Advisory Board could be the Asset Seller and could receive an identification fee for originally locating the asset.

An Asset Seller may retain partial ownership of an Underlying Asset and in such circumstances the Asset Seller may benefit from the Manager’s advice, along with the potential for returns without incurring fees to manage the asset.

Members of the expert network and the Advisory Board may also be Investors, in particular, if they are holding Interests acquired as part of a sale of an Underlying Asset (i.e., as they were the Investor).  They may therefore promote their own self-interests when providing advice to the Manager or the Asset Manager regarding an Underlying Asset (e.g., by encouraging the liquidation of such Underlying Asset so they can receive a return in their capacity as an Investor).

In the event that the Operating Expenses exceed the revenue from an Underlying Asset and any cash reserves, the Manager has the option to cause the Series to incur an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation to cover such excess.  As interest may be payable on such loan, the Manager may be incentivized to cause the Series to which the Underlying Asset relates, to incur an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation to pay Operating Expenses rather than look elsewhere for additional sources of income or to repay any outstanding Operating Expenses


56


Reimbursement Obligation as soon as possible rather than make distributions to Investors.  The Manager may also choose to issue additional Interests to pay for Operating Expenses instead of causing the Company to incur an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, even if any interest payable by a particular Series on any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation may be economically more beneficial to Interest Holders of that Series than the dilution incurred from the issuance of additional Interests.

The Manager determines the timing and amount of distributions made to Investors from Free Cash Flow of a particular Series. As a consequence, the Manager also determines the timing and amount of payments made to the Asset Manager, since payments to the Asset Manager are only made if distributions of Free Cash Flow are made to the Investors. Since an affiliate of the Manager has been appointed the Asset Manager, the Manager may thus be incentivized to make distributions of Free Cash Flow more frequently and in greater quantities rather than leaving excess Free Cash Flow on the balance sheet of a particular Series to cover future Operating Expenses, which may be more beneficial to a particular Series.  

Potential future brokerage activity.

The Asset Manager or an affiliate may, in the future, register with the Commission as a broker-dealer in order to be able to facilitate liquidity in the Interests via the Platform.  The Asset Manager, or its affiliate, may be entitled to receive fees based on volume of trading and volatility of the Interests on the Platform and such fees may be in excess of what RSE Markets receives as the Asset Manager, via the Management Fee, or the appreciation in the Interests it holds in each Series of Interests.  Although an increased volume of trading and volatility will benefit Investors as it will assist in creating a market for those wishing to transfer their Interests, there is the potential that there is a divergence of interests between Asset Manager and those Investors, for instance, if an Underlying Asset does not appreciate in value, this will impact the price of the Interests, but may not adversely affect the profitability related to the brokerage activities of Asset Manager or its affiliate (i.e. Asset Manager or its affiliate would collect brokerage fees whether the price of the Underlying Asset increases or decreases).

Ownership of multiple Series of Interests.

The Manager or its affiliates will acquire Interests in each Series of Interests for their own accounts. While the Manager or its affiliates do not currently intend to transfer these Interests prior to the liquidation of an Underlying Asset, in the future, they may, from time to time, transfer these Interests, either directly or through brokers, via the Platform or otherwise, subject to the restrictions of applicable securities laws and filing any necessary amendment to this Offering Circular. Depending on the timing of the transfers, this could impact the Interests held by the Investors (e.g., driving price down because of supply and demand and over availability of Interests).  This ownership in each of the Series of Interests may result in a conflict of interest between the Manager or its affiliates and the Investors who only hold one or certain Series of Interests (e.g., the Manager or its affiliates, once registered as a broker-dealer with the Commission, may disproportionately market or promote a certain Series of Interests, in particular, where they are a significant owner, so that there will be more demand and an increase in the price of such Series of Interests).

Allocations of income and expenses as between Series of Interests.

The Manager may appoint a service provider to service the entire collection of the Underlying Assets (e.g., for insurance, storage, maintenance or media material creation).  Although appointing one service provider may reduce cost due to economies of scale, such service provider may not necessarily be the most appropriate for a particular Underlying Asset (e.g., it may have more experience in servicing a certain class of memorabilia even though the Company will own many different kinds of memorabilia). In such circumstances, the Manager would be conflicted from acting in the best interests of the Underlying Assets as a whole or those of one particular Underlying Asset.

There may be situations when it is challenging or impossible to accurately allocate income, costs and expenses to a specific Series of Interests and certain Series of Interests may get a disproportionate percentage of the cost or income, as applicable.  In such circumstances, the Manager would be conflicted from acting in the best interests of the Company as a whole or the individual Series.  While we presently intend to allocate expenses as described in “Description of the Business – Allocations of Expenses”, the Manager has the right to change this allocation policy at any time without further notice to Investors.


57


Conflicting interests of the Manager, the Asset Manager and the Investors.

The Manager or its affiliates are obligated to purchase a minimum of 2% of Interests of all Offerings, at the same terms as all other Investors. However, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, acquire additional Interests, at the same terms as all other Investors.  If there is a lack of demand for Interests in a particular Series during such Series’ initial Offering, the Manager in its sole discretion may acquire additional Interests (at the same terms as all other Investors) in order for an Offering for such Series of Interests to have a Closing. The Manager or its affiliates have in the past “topped-off” an Offering of Series of Interests, such that a Closing with regards to such Offering could occur. The Manager will engage in such activity in the future if it reasonably believes at such time this to be in the best interests of Investors or potential Investors. Such activity may result in a reduced level of liquidity in the secondary trading market for any Series in which it makes such a decision.

The Manager, the Asset Manager or the Platform may receive sponsorship from Memorabilia Asset service providers to assist with the servicing of certain Underlying Assets.  In the event that sponsorship is not obtained for the servicing of an Underlying Asset, the Investors who hold Interests connected to the Underlying Asset requiring servicing would bear the cost of the fees.  The Manager or the Asset Manager may in these circumstances, decide to carry out a different standard of service on the Underlying Asset to preserve the expenses which arise to the Investors and therefore, the amount of Management Fee the Asset Manager receives.  The Manager or the Asset Manager may also choose to use certain service providers because they get benefits from giving them business, which do not accrue to the Investors.

The Manager will determine whether or not to liquidate a particular Underlying Asset, should an offer to acquire the whole Underlying Asset be received.  As Asset Manager or an affiliate, once registered as a broker-dealer with the Commission, will receive fees on the trading volume in the Interests connected with an Underlying Asset, they may be incentivized not to realize such Underlying Asset even though Investors may prefer to receive the gains from any appreciation in value of such Underlying Asset.  Furthermore, when determining to liquidate an Underlying Asset, the Manager will do so considering all of the circumstances at the time, this may include obtaining a price for an Underlying Asset that is in the best interests of a substantial majority but not all of the Investors.

The Manager may be incentivized to use more popular Memorabilia Assets at Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) as this may generate higher Free Cash Flow to be distributed to the Asset Manager, an affiliate of the Manager, and Investors in the Series associated with that particular Underlying Asset.  This may lead certain Underlying Assets to generate lower distributions than the Underlying Assets of other Series of Interests.  The use of Underlying Assets at the Membership Experience Programs could increase the risk of the Underlying Asset getting damaged and could impact the value of the Underlying Asset and, as a result, the value of the related Series of Interests.  The Manager may therefore be conflicted when determining whether to use the Underlying Assets at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to generate revenue or limit the potential of damage being caused to them.  Furthermore, the Manager may be incentivized to utilize Memorabilia Assets that help popularize the Interests via the Platform or general participation or membership in the Platform, which means of utilization may not generate as much immediate returns as other potential utilization methods.

The Manager has the ability to unilaterally amend the Operating Agreement and allocation policy.  As the Manager is party, or subject, to these documents, it may be incentivized to amend them in a manner that is beneficial to it as Manager of the Company or any Series or may amend it in a way that is not beneficial for all Investors.  In addition, the Operating Agreement seeks to limit the fiduciary duties that the Manager owes to its Investors.  Therefore, the Manager is permitted to act in its own best interests rather than the best interests of the Investors.  See “Description of the Interests Offered” for more information.  

Manager’s Fees and Compensation

None of the compensation set forth under “Compensation of the Manager” was determined by arms’ length negotiations. Investors must rely upon the duties of the Manager of good faith and fair dealing to protect their interests, as qualified by the Operating Agreement. While the Manager believes that the consideration is fair for the work being performed, there can be no assurance made that the compensation payable to the Manager will reflect the true market value of its services.


58


Fees for arranging events or monetization in addition to the Management Fee.

As the Manager or its affiliates will acquire a percentage of each Series of Interests, it may be incentivized to attempt to generate more earnings with those Underlying Assets owned by those Series of Interests in which it holds a higher stake.

Any profits generated from the Platform (e.g., through advertising) and from issuing additional Interests in Underlying Assets on the Platform will be for the benefit of the Manager and Asset Manager (e.g. more Sourcing Fees).  In order to increase its revenue stream, the Manager may therefore be incentivized to issue additional Series of Interests and acquire more Underlying Assets rather than focus on monetizing any Underlying Assets already held by existing Series of Interests.

Conflicts between the Advisory Board and the Company.

The Operating Agreement of the Company provides that the resolution of any conflict of interest approved by the Advisory Board shall be deemed fair and reasonable to the Company and the Members and not a breach of any duty at law, in equity or otherwise.  As part of the remuneration package for Advisory Board members, they may receive an ownership stake in the Manager.  This may incentivize the Advisory Board members to make decisions in relation to the Underlying Assets that benefit the Manager rather than the Company.

As a number of the Advisory Board members are in the Memorabilia Asset industry, they may seek to sell Underlying Assets to, acquire Underlying Assets from, or service Underlying Assets owed by, the Company.

The Company, the Asset Manager, the Manager, and their respective affiliates do not have separate counsel.

The counsel of the Company (“Legal Counsel”) is also counsel to the Manager, the Asset Manager and their respective affiliates, including other series LLC entities of RSE Markets and other Series of Interests (collectively, the “RSE Parties”).  Because Legal Counsel represents both the Company and the RSE Parties, certain conflicts of interest exist and may arise.  To the extent that an irreconcilable conflict develops between the Company and any of the RSE Parties, Legal Counsel may represent the RSE Parties and not the Company or the Series.  Legal Counsel may, in the future, render services to the Company or the RSE Parties with respect to activities relating to the Company as well as other unrelated activities.  Legal counsel is not representing any prospective Investors of any Series of Interests in connection with any Offering and will not be representing the members of the Company other than the Manager and RSE Markets, although the prospective Investors may rely on the opinion of legality of Legal Counsel provided at Exhibit 12.1.  Prospective Investors are advised to consult their own independent counsel with respect to the other legal and tax implications of an investment in any Series.

 

Our affiliates’ interests in other RSE Parties.

 

The officers and directors of RSE Markets, which is the sole member of the Manager and serves as the Asset Manager for the Company, are also officers and directors and/or key professionals of other RSE Parties. These persons have legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to us. As a result of their interests in other RSE Parties, their obligations to other Investors and the fact that they engage in and will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and others, they will face conflicts of interest in allocating their time among us and other RSE Parties and other business activities in which they are involved. RSE Markets currently serves as the Asset Manager for multiple entities with similar strategies, including RSE Collection, LLC, another series limited liability company with a similar business in the collectible automobile asset class, which commenced principal operations in 2017. These separate entities all require the time and consideration of RSE Markets and affiliates, potentially resulting in an unequal division of resources to all RSE Parties. However, we believe that RSE Markets have sufficient professionals to fully discharge their responsibilities to the RSE Parties for which they work.

DILUTION

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the Interests the Investor owns.  There will be no dilution to any Investors associated with any Offering.  However, from time to time, additional Interests in the Series offered under this Offering Circular may be issued in order to raise capital to cover the applicable Series’ ongoing Operating Expenses.  See “Description of the Business – Operating Expenses” for further details.

The Manager or its affiliates must acquire a minimum of 2% of the Interests in connection with any Offering, however, the Manager, in its sole discretion, may acquire greater than 2% of the Interests in any Offering. In all circumstance, the Manager or its affiliated purchaser will pay the price per share offered to all other potential Investors hereunder.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES MICKEY MANTLE CARD

Investment Overview

Upon completion of the Series #52MANTLE Offering, Series #52MANTLE will purchase a 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle Card (at times described as the “#311 Mantle” or the “1952 Topps #311” throughout this Offering Circular) as the underlying asset for Series #52MANTLE (the “Series Mickey Mantle Card” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #52MANTLE, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below.

Over the course of his career, Mantle was selected to 16 all-star teams and won the World Series seven times.  In addition, Mantle holds the World Series record with 18 home runs in the Series. 

Mantle was recognized three times as the American League Most Valuable Player, and in 1956 he was the winner of the Triple Crown (Most Home Runs, Most Runs Batted In, and Highest Batting Average). 

When Mantle retired from baseball in 1968, he held the record for most career home runs as a switch-hitter with 536, a record that still stands today. 

The Underlying Asset is in Near Mint condition, with a rating of NM 7 from Sportscard Guarantee Company (SGC) and is one of approximately 35 examples at this tier or better among a total population of 488 such cards according to SGC’s population census.

The reverse side of the Underlying Asset features the number 311, indicating the card’s place in the Topps 1952 set, along with a brief biographical description of Mantle and a summary of his game statistics.  The company name, Topps Baseball, is prominently featured across the bottom of the reverse side of the Underlying Asset when viewed horizontally.  The reverse side of the Underlying Asset primarily is printed in black ink on white background with highlights in red ink, or in white ink over a red background. 

As outlined above, the Underlying Asset is encased in a protective holder, with the authentication label from SGC clearly featured across the top of the protective case.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES “FIGHT OF THE CENTURY” CONTRACT

Investment Overview

Upon completion of the Series #71ALI Offering, Series #71ALI will purchase the 1971 “Fight of the Century” Contract (at times described as the “1971 Contract” or the “1971 Ali Contract” throughout this Offering Circular) as the underlying asset for Series #71ALI (the “Series “Fight of the Century” Contract” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #71ALI, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

When Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fought for the first of three times, it was the first time in boxing history that two undefeated fighters battled for the heavyweight belt.  

Ali (31-0, 25 KO’s) and Frazier (26-0, 23 KO’s) delivered on the massive hype behind their fight, slugging it out for a grueling 15 rounds of boxing. Frazier was named the winner by unanimous decision, setting up the now-legendary trilogy of fights between himself and the former Cassius Clay.  

Ring Magazine, the leading boxing publication in the United States, has ranked “The Fight of the Century” as the fourth greatest title bout of all-time.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES MICHAEL JORDAN JERSEY

Investment Overview

 

Upon completion of the Series #98JORDAN Offering, Series #98JORDAN will purchase a 1998 Michael Jordan Jersey as the Underlying Asset for Series #98JORDAN (The “Series Michael Jordan Jersey” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #98JORDAN, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

The Underlying Asset is a signed jersey, worn by Michael Jordan in a game on April 11, 1998 vs. the Orlando Magic in which he achieved his 5,000th career assist.  

Michael Jordan debuted with the Bulls in the 1984-1985 season and played with the team until the end of the 1993-1994 NBA season during which time he led the Bulls to three NBA Championships, when he retired for the first time to play Minor League Baseball. He then came out of retirement and returned to the Bulls from 1995 – 1998, leading the team to another three additional NBA Championships, before retiring for the second time. He came out of retirement again and played for the Washington Wizards, until the end of his NBA career, from 2001 to 2003. 

Michael Jordan had a career average of 30.1 points per game, setting an NBA record that still stands today.  

During Michael Jordan’s career, he won six NBA championships (tied for ninth in NBA history) and was awarded five Most Valuable Player awards (tied for second in NBA history). 

 

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

The Underlying Asset comes fully authenticated, with a Letter of Authenticity from the Chicago Bulls confirming its use of the Underlying Asset by Jordan.  

MeiGray, Sports Investors and Resolution Photo matching performed the authentication and photo matching for the Underlying Asset to the April 11, 1998 game. 

Upper Deck Authentication (UDA) provided authentication for Michael Jordan’s signature on the Underlying Asset. 

The Underlying Asset originated directly from the Chicago Bulls as it entered the sports collectibles hobby. This is one of the most conclusive forms of authenticity, as these jerseys were not sold in retail store and were directly distributed to the players with specific tagging (i.e. “1997-98” season identification tag, “NBA Authentics” logo tag, Chicago Bulls logo tag). 

 

Notable Features

 

The Underlying Asset is a home jersey finished in white, with the original red and black tackle twill numbers and athletes name sewn directly to the Underlying Asset.  

The Underlying Asset’s original Nike manufacturer’s tag is sewn on the front left tail and NBA logo is embroidered on the left shoulder.  

The Underlying Asset has Michael Jordan’s authentic black marker signature located on the #2 digit of the player number on the back of the jersey. 

Michael Jordan recorded the 5,000th assist of his career while wearing the Underlying Asset and scored 37 points in the game in which the Chicago Bulls defeated the visiting Orlando Magic 87-78 on 04/11/1998. 

 

Notable Defects

 

The Underlying Asset exhibits minimal wear according to the authentication experts at Sports Investors, with several light stains and loose threads noted, commensurate to similar game worn jerseys.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES ROLEX BETA 21

 

Investment Overview

 

Upon completion of the Series #70RLEX Offering, Series #70RLEX will purchase the 1970 Rolex Ref. 5100 Beta 21  (at times described as the “Ref. 5100” or the “Wristwatch” throughout this offering circular) as the underlying asset for the Series #70RLEX (the “Series Rolex Beta 21” or “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #70RLEX, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below.  

Rolex SA is a luxury timepiece manufacturer, founded in 1905 and based in Geneva, Switzerland.  

The Ref. 5100 Beta was Rolex’s first Quartz (battery-powered) watch, a departure from the standard mechanical movement.  

Only 1,000 units were produced, all of which were pre-sold before production began in 1970.  

 

 

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

All Rolex Beta 21 watches were made from solid 18-karat gold with a limited-edition number hand-engraved on the side of the caseback.  

Rolex does not publish exact production numbers, but industry experts collectively estimate that of the 1,000 Beta 21’s produced by Rolex, roughly 700 were made in yellow gold with the remaining examples made in White Gold.  

 

Notable Features

 

The Underlying Asset is fitted with an 18 karat Rolex strap that is original to the watch. All Beta 21 watches were fitted with the same bracelet, which was exclusive to the Rolex’s Beta 21 series and appears on no other Rolex reference numbers. 

The Underlying Asset has a case and bracelet made entirely of yellow gold and weighs 190 grams.  

The Underlying Asset is one of the 1,000 total Rolex Beta 21’s produced and is one of an estimated 700 made in Yellow Gold.  

 

Notable Defects

 

The Underlying Asset shows minimal wear that is consistent with a lightly worn watch of its age.  

The Underlying Asset shows signs of slight polish on the case, but no signs of polish on the bracelet.  

The Underlying Asset appears to have a slight scratch on the top right corner of the crystal.

In 2014, Rolex re-introduced the Pepsi (red & blue) Bezel, but only on a white-gold watch.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES ROLEX SUBMARINER “SMURF”

Investment Overview

Upon completion of the Series #SMURF Offering, Series #SMURF will purchase the Rolex Submariner Date “Smurf” Ref. 116619LB (at times described as the “Ref. 116619” or the “Wristwatch” throughout this offering circular) as the underlying asset for the Series #SMURF (the “Series Rolex Submariner ‘Smurf’” or “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #SMURF, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below.  

Rolex SA is a luxury timepiece manufacturer, founded in 1905 and based in Geneva, Switzerland. 

Making its public debut at the 1954 Basel Watch Fair, the first Rolex Submariner model was a durable sports watch designed for diving. 

Ref. 116619 was unveiled at Baselworld 2008 as the most expensive contemporary Submariner model with an 18-karat white gold case and bracelet. 

 

 

Asset Description

Overview and Authentication

In the early 1950’s, René-Paul Jeanneret, an experienced diver and Rolex board member, had expressed his desire for a diving watch that was both robust and aesthetically pleasing. 

The result was the 1953 Rolex Submariner Ref. 6204, which featured a water-resistant Oyster case with a screw-down crown. 

The Ref. 116619 is a descendant of the original Submariner model and is characterized by its all white gold construction, its blue bezel and lacquered blue dial. 

Many celebrities have chosen the Rolex Submariner “Smurf” as their personal watch, including Gordon Ramsay, Robert Herjavec and John Mayer. 

 

Notable Features

The Underlying Asset has a blue Cerachrom unidirectional rotating bezel that is resistant to corrosion and scratching. 

The 40mm Oyster case on the Underlying Asset features larger crown guards and wider lugs than its predecessors. 

The Underlying Asset uses a Glidelock clasp that allows the wearer to adjust the fit of the bracelet. 

 

Notable Defects

The Underlying Asset shows little to no signs of wear.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES AUDEMARS PIGUET A-SERIES

Investment Overview

Upon completion of the Series #APROAK Offering, Series #APROAK will purchase the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo A-Series Ref. 5402 (at times described as the “A-Series” or the “Wristwatch” throughout this offering circular) as the underlying asset for the Series #APROAK (the “Series Audemars Piguet A-Series” or “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #APROAK, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below.  

Audemars Piguet (AP), founded in 1875 in Vallée de Joux, is a Swiss manufacturer of luxury mechanical watches and clocks.

Audemars Piquet only had 2,000 pieces made as the company worried that the stainless-steel watch was too-highly priced for a watch made out of a non-precious metal.  

The A-Series Royal Oaks are distinguished from other Royal Oaks by an engraving on the case back that has the letter ‘A’, a characteristic exclusive to the A series (with the exception of the Ref. 15202ST a limited-edition series that pays homage to the A-Series), followed by a number out of 2,000.  

The Wristwatches are numbered 1 through 2,000 consecutively, indicating the order of completion and were produced between 1972 and 1973.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES 2015 OMEGA SPEEDMASTER “SILVER SNOOPY”

 

Investment Overview

 

Upon completion of the Series #SNOOPY Offering, Series #SNOOPY will purchase the 2015 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch (at times described as the “Omega Silver Snoopy” or “Wristwatch” throughout this offering circular) as the underlying asset for Series #SNOOPY (the “Series 2015 Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy”” or “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #SNOOPY, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

In 1965 NASA qualified the Omega Speedmaster watch for use on its piloted missions. It remains the only NASA-qualified watch, and versions of the Omega Speedmaster have been worn by NASA astronauts for all six lunar landings, earning it the nickname “the Moonwatch.” 

Snoopy, the cartoon dog from Charles Schulz’s pop comic strip Peanuts, was co-opted by NASA as their Apollo program’s safety mascot. NASA gives a Silver Snoopy Award to employees that “have significantly contributed to the human space flight program to ensure flight safety and mission success.” These employees receive a silver Snoopy lapel pin that has flown in space, a certificate of appreciation, and letter of commendation.   

In 1970, NASA awarded Omega with a Silver Snoopy Award after the crew of the Apollo 13 used a Speedmaster to time a 14-second engine burn to correct their orbit so that they could safely land back on Earth.  

 

Asset Description

 

Overview

 

The Underlying Asset is one of 1,970 Silver Snoopy examples produced by Omega in 2015 as a tribute to the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission and the company’s Silver Snoopy Award. 

The Underlying Asset is a manual-wind watch with a 42mm stainless steel case, polished black ceramic bezel ring, black varnished hands, and single white hand on the small seconds sub-dial.  

 

Notable Features

 

The caseback of the Underlying Asset features a 925-silver hand-carved Snoopy medallion, which is mounted on a plate of the same material and surrounded by a dark blue enamel that is hand-sprinkled with silver powder.  

A small Snoopy, created with special Super-Luminova (photoluminescent) paint is presented on the 9 o’clock subdial of the Underlying Asset. 

An inscription on the dial between zero and fourteen seconds reads: “What could you do in 14 seconds?” 

The outer edge of the Underlying Asset’s caseback is inscribed with the following: “SILVER SNOOPY AWARD “EYES ON THE STARS””, “45TH ANNIVERSARY”, and “APOLLO XIII” with each inscription separated by an engraved star.  

The Underlying Asset is engraved and numbered as one of 1,970.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES T206 HONUS WAGNER CARD

Investment Overview

Upon completion of the Series #HONUS Offering, Series #HONUS will purchase a 1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner Baseball Card (at times described as the “T206 Wagner” throughout this Offering Circular) as the underlying asset for Series #HONUS (the “Series T206 Honus Wagner Card” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #HONUS, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Honus Wagner won an unprecedented eight National League batting titles as well as leading the Pirates to the 1909 World Series victory against Ty Cobb and the Detroit Tigers.  

Wagner was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as a member of its inaugural class in 1936 alongside Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, and Babe Ruth. 

The Honus Wagner Card was produced by the American Tobacco Company (ATC) as part of the T206 series from 1909-1911.  

Asset Description

Overview & Authentication

Synonymous with the phrase “tobacco card,” the 1909-1911 T206 series consists of 524 distinctly different "White Border" player portrayals measuring about 1-7/16" by 2-5/8”. 

The T206 collection includes 390 cards featuring major league players (with multiple poses and captions for the same player counted separately) and 134 minor leaguers, each in a straightforward and simple arrangement. 

The American Tobacco Company produced the T206 series from 1909-1911, with the majority showing reverse side advertising of the company's popular tobacco brands. 

T206 Honus Wagner cards have less than 60 known examples of the card still in existence. 

Notable Features

The provenance of the Underlying Asset is unique, as it was bequeathed to The School Sisters of Notre Dame by the brother of a deceased nun in 2010, with the card first coming into the unnamed brother’s possession in 1936. 

The Underlying Asset has a clean border at the bottom printed with “Wagner, Pittsburg”. 

The Underlying Asset is based on a portrait of Honus Wagner taken by the noted baseball photographer Carl Horner. 

Notable Defects

The borders of the Underlying Asset have been trimmed, and the card has been coated in shellac as a preservative. 

The Underlying Asset also exhibits signs of wear, with visible creases, and the “Sweet Caporal” advertisement on the reverse of this card partially removed. 

Equity retained by Asset Seller

 

The Asset Seller will retain a 52.9% interest in the Underlying Asset and, upon closing of the purchase of the Underlying Asset by us (the “Closing”), shall receive 5,289 membership interests in the Series with an aggregate value of $275,028 (the “Asset Seller Equity Interest”). 

 

Restrictions on Sale of Underlying Asset

 

Without our prior written consent (which may be withheld in our sole discretion), the Asset Seller will not, directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, transfer, hypothecate, mortgage, grant or encumber, sell or grant any option, purchase any option, enter into any arrangement or contract to do any of the foregoing, or otherwise transfer, dispose or encumber the Asset Seller Equity Interest.  

Without the Asset Seller’s prior written consent, we will not sell the Underlying Asset within 36-months of the Closing.  


163


We will not sell the Underlying Asset for a purchase price of less than $1,900,000.00 without the Asset Seller’s prior written consent.  

For a 10 year period following the Closing, we (or our designee(s)) will have the right, exercisable at any time upon written notice to the Asset Seller, to repurchase from the Asset Seller the Asset Seller Equity Interest for a purchase price valuing the Series at no less than $1,900,000.00.  In the event we exercise this right, the Asset Seller will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to us such agreements or instruments as we may reasonably request, in order to facilitate such repurchase. 

If the Underlying Asset is sold within 5 years of the Closing, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to include as a condition in the sale agreement relating to such sale that purchaser of the Underlying Asset must lend the Underlying Asset to the Asset Seller for 60 days per calendar year for a 24-month period post-sale.  We will have no further obligation to the Asset Seller once we sell the Underlying Asset. 

 

Location and Loan of Underlying Asset

 

Provided that the Asset Seller complies with its covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in the Purchase Option Agreement, we agree to lend the Underlying Asset to the Asset Seller for no less than 305 days per calendar year.  In turn, the Asset Seller may lend such Underlying Asset to the DePace Sports Museum at its principal location in New Jersey (the “Museum”) for display at the Museum, provided that (A) the Asset Seller notify us in advance when the Underlying Asset is so lent to the Museum, (B) such loan arrangement is made pursuant to a written agreement with the Museum on terms and conditions that are satisfactory to us in our sole discretion (including, upon our request, making us a party thereto) and (C) the Museum at all times stores, protects, insures and maintains the Underlying Asset on terms acceptable to us in our sole discretion.  The Asset Seller will enforce against the Museum the terms and conditions of any such written agreement at, and in accordance with, our direction.  The Asset Seller will also enforce for our benefit, and as reasonably directed by us, the Asset Sellers’ rights under such written agreement with the Museum as if we were a party thereto in the Asset Sellers’ place and permit us to enforce any rights arising with respect thereto.  We will retain title to and ownership of the Underlying Asset at all times notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Purchase Option Agreement. 

When the Underlying Asset is in the Asset Sellers’ possession, the Asset Seller will store, protect and maintain the Underlying Asset as part of its inventory exercising a standard of care no less than the standard applied in storing, protecting and maintaining the Underlying Asset immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Option Agreement, but, in any event, on no less than a commercially reasonable basis with respect to storing, protecting and maintaining valuable collectible assets of the nature and type of the Underlying Asset.  Further, the Asset Seller will cause the Museum to display, store, protect and maintain the Underlying Asset as part of its collection exercising a standard of care no less than the standard applied in displaying, storing, protecting and maintaining the Underlying Asset immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Option Agreement, but, in any event, on no less than a commercially reasonable basis with respect to displaying, storing, protecting and maintaining valuable collectible assets of the nature and type of the Underlying Asset. 

We will have the right to inspect the Underlying Asset at any time.  The Asset Seller will, and will cause the Museum to, take all actions reasonably requested by us to safeguard, protect and preserve the Underlying Asset. 

In the event the Underlying Asset is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed or its value is otherwise impaired or diminished at any time when the Underlying Asset is not in our possession in connection with any loan thereof to the Asset Seller or the Museum, the Asset Seller will promptly pay to us an amount equal to the fair market value of the Underlying Asset immediately prior to the date the Underlying Asset was lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed or its value was otherwise impaired or diminished.

Under the Purchase Option Agreement, the Asset Seller will indemnify and hold harmless RSE Archive, LLC and its affiliates and our and their respective officers, directors, managers, equity holders, employees and agents (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, causes of action, demands, lawsuits, arbitrations, inquiries, proceedings, litigations, investigations, taxes, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, assessments, levies, costs or expenses of

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

We are devoting substantially all our efforts to establishing our business and planned principal operations only commenced in early 2019. As such and because of the start-up nature of the Company’s and the Manager’s business the reported financial information herein will likely not be indicative of future operating results or operating conditions. Because of our corporate structure, we are in large part reliant on the Asset Manager and its employees to grow and support our business. There are a number of key factors that will have large potential impacts on our operating results going forward including the Asset Manager’s ability to:

-continue to source high quality collectible Underlying Assets at reasonable prices to securitize through the Platform; 

-market the Platform and the Offerings in individual Series of the Company and attract Investors to the Platform to acquire the Interests issued by Series of the Company; 

-find operating partners to support the regulatory and technology infrastructure necessary to operate the Platform; 

-continue to develop the Platform and provide the information and technology infrastructure to support the issuance of Interests in Series of the Company; and 

-find operating partners to manage the collection of Underlying Assets at a decreasing marginal cost per asset. 

We have not yet generated any revenues directly attributable to the Company or any Series to date.  In addition, we do not anticipate the Company or any Series to generate any revenue in excess of costs associated with such revenues until 2021.

At the time of this filing all of the Series designated as closed in the Master Series Table have commenced operations, are capitalized and have assets and various Series have liabilities. All assets and liabilities related to the Series described in the Master Series Table will be the responsibility of the Series from the time of the Closing of the respective Offerings. All Series highlighted in gray or blue in the Master Series Table, have not had a Closing, but we have, or are in the process of launching these and subsequent Offerings for additional Series. Series whose Underlying Assets have been sold will subsequently be dissolved and are highlighted in orange in the Master Series Table.

Historical Investments in Underlying Assets

We provide investment opportunities in investment grade collectible memorabilia to Investors through the Platform, financed through various methods including, loans from officers of the Manager or other third-parties, if we purchase an Underlying Asset prior to the Closing of an Offering, and through purchase option agreements negotiated with third-parties or affiliates, if we finance the purchase of an Underlying Asset with the proceeds of an Offering. Additional information can be found below and in the Master Series Table.

Period Ended December 31, 2019

During the period from January 3, 2019 through December 31, 2019 we have entered into the agreements and had Closings, as listed in the table below. We received multiple loans or payments from various parties to support the financing of the acquisition of the Underlying Assets, for which the details are listed in the table below. Such payments or loans have been or will be repaid from the proceeds of successful Series’ initial Offering, if necessary. Upon completion of the Offering of each of the Series of Interests, it is proposed that each of these Series shall acquire their respective Underlying Assets for the aggregate consideration consisting of cash and Interests as the authorized officers of the Manager may determine in their reasonable discretion in accordance with the disclosures set forth in these Series’ Offering documents. In various instances, as noted in the table below, the Asset Seller retains equity in the Interests issued for a particular Series. In addition, there are instances where the Company finances an acquisition through the proceeds of the Offering, in the case of a purchase option, and as such requires no additional financing or only financing to make an initial down payment, as the case may be.

The Company incurred the “Acquisition Expenses”, which include transportation of the Memorabilia Assets to the Manager’s storage facility, pre-purchase inspection, pre-Offering refurbishment, and other costs detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy, listed in the table below, the majority of which are capitalized into the purchase prices of the various Underlying Assets during the period ended December 31, 2019. Acquisition Expenses such as interest expense on a loan to finance an acquisition or marketing expenses related to the promotional materials created for an Underlying Asset are not capitalized. The Acquisition Expenses are generally initially funded by the Manager or its affiliates but will be reimbursed with the proceeds from an Offering related to such Series, to the extent described in the applicable Offering documents. Unless, to the extent that certain Acquisition Expenses are anticipated prior to the Closing, but incurred after the Closing of an Offering, for example transportation fees related to transportation from the Asset Seller to the Company’s storage facility, in which case, additional cash from the proceeds of the Offering will be retained on the Series balance sheet to cover such future anticipated Acquisition Expenses after the Closing of the Offering.

Subsequent Investments and Purchase Options Agreements for Underlying Assets

Since January 1, 2020 we have entered into the agreements and had Closings in connection with each Offering of Series listed in the table below. We received multiple loans and payments from various parties to support the financing of the acquisition of the Underlying Assets, for which the details are listed in the table below. Such payments or loans have been or will be repaid from the proceeds of successful Series’ Offering, if necessary. Upon completion of the Offering of each of the Series of Interests, it is proposed that each of these Series shall acquire their respective Underlying Assets for the aggregate consideration consisting of cash and Interests as the authorized officers of the Manager may determine in their reasonable discretion in accordance with the disclosures set forth in these Series’ Offering documents. In various instances, as noted in the table below, the Asset Seller retains equity in the Interests issued for a particular Series. In addition, there are instances where the Company finances an acquisition through the proceeds of the Offering, in the case of a purchase option, and as such requires no additional financing or only financing to make an initial down payment, as the case may be.  

The Company incurred the Acquisition Expenses listed in the table below, the majority of which are capitalized into the purchase prices of the various Underlying Assets since January 1, 2020. Acquisition Expenses such as interest expense on a loan to finance an acquisition or marketing expenses related to the promotional materials created for an Underlying Asset are not capitalized. Acquisition Expenses are generally initially funded by the Manager or its affiliates but will be reimbursed with the proceeds from an Offering related to such Series, to the extent described in the applicable Offering documents. Unless, to the extent that certain Acquisition Expenses are anticipated prior to the Closing, but incurred after the Closing of an Offering, for example transportation fees related to transportation from the Asset Seller to the Company’s storage facility, in which case, additional cash from the proceeds of the Offering will be retained on the Series balance sheet to cover such future anticipated Acquisition Expenses after the Closing of the Offering.

Operating Results for the period January 3, 2019 to December 31, 2019

Due to the start-up nature of the Company, changes in operating results are impacted significantly by any increase in the number of Underlying Assets that the Company, through the Asset Manager, operates and manages. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the Company, through the Asset Manager, operated (meaning Underlying Asset fully-owned by the Company or a Series including closed and owned, but not yet launched Offerings) twenty-seven Underlying Assets of which fourteen had closed. In addition, the Company had signed various purchase option agreements and purchase agreements for additional Underlying Assets to be offered on the Platform in future, however, these Underlying Assets were not yet operated by the Company at December 31, 2019.

Revenues

Revenues are generated at the Company or the Series level. As of December 31, 2019, we have not yet generated any revenues directly attributable to the Company or any Series to date.  In addition, we do not anticipate the Company or any Series to generate any revenue in excess of costs associated with such revenues until 2021.  

Operating Expenses

The Company incurred $8,005 in operating expenses in period ended December 31, 2019 related to storage, transportation, insurance, maintenance, marketing and professional services fees associated with the Underlying Assets.

The operating expenses incurred prior to the Closing of an Offering related to any of the Underlying Assets are being paid by the Manager and recognized by the Company as capital contributions and will not be reimbursed by the Series. Each Series of the Company will be responsible for its own operating expenses, such as storage, insurance or maintenance, beginning on the Closing date of the Offering for such Series Interests. However, post-closing operating expenses incurred and recorded by Series’ of the Company through the period from January 3, 2019 to December 31, 2019, the Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for certain but not all such expenses. These are accounted for as capital contributions by each respective Series.

Operating expenses for the Company including all of the Series by category for the period ended December 31, 2019 are as follows:

During the period ended the year December 31, 2019, at the close of the respective Offerings for the Series, listed in the table below, each individual Series became responsible for operating expenses. Pre-Closing operating expenses are incurred on the books of the Company and post-Closing operating expenses incurred by each Series with a closed Offering are incurred and recorded on the books of the Series.

Solely in the case of the Series listed in the Master Series Table, and which had closed Offerings as December 31, 2019, the Manager has elected to pay for certain but not all of the operating expenses post the Closing of the Offerings for Series Interests and not be reimbursed by the respective Series. The unreimbursed expenses are accounted for as capital contributions by the Series.

Interest and Purchase Option Expenses and Financing/Banking Fees

The Company did not incur any interest expenses related to the loans made to the Company by officers of the Manager or third-party lenders during the period ended December 31, 2019.

There were no ongoing expenses related to the purchase options for any other Series listed in the Master Series Table during the period ended December 31, 2019.  

 

During the period ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred $36 of banking fees.  

 

As detailed further in “Note D – Debt” of the Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Obligations of the Company below, the Asset Manager together with the Company and an affiliate of the Asset Manager, entered into a $1.5 million line of credit (the “Line of Credit” or “LoC”) with Silicon Valley Bank on April 30, 2019, which allowed the Manager to make purchases of assets using the LoC, with the assets as collateral. On December 20, 2019, the LoC was replaced with a $2.25 million demand note (the “Demand Note” or “DM”) with Upper90. The DM allows the Manager to make purchases of assets for the Company and the affiliate of the Asset Manager using the DM. At December 31, 2019, $1.56 million had been drawn on the DM and $7,800 in interest accrued by the Asset Manager.

Asset Acquisitions, Purchase Options and Asset Sales

Details on the Memorabilia Assets acquired or for which we entered into purchase option agreements or purchase agreements during the period ended December 31, 2019, as listed in the Master Series Table and summarized in the table below. We typically acquire Memorabilia Assets through the following methods.

-Upfront purchase – acquired the Underlying Asset outright prior to launch of the Offering, financed through loans made by officers or affiliates of the Manager, third-party lenders or through non-interest-bearing payments from the Asset Manager. 

-Purchase option agreement – enter into a purchase option which gives us the right, but not the obligation to purchase a specific Underlying Asset, typically through the proceeds of the Offering for the Series related to the Underlying Asset. 

-Purchase agreement – enter into a purchase agreement, which obligates us to acquire the Underlying Asset, but typically with a significant payment delay, with the goal of raising the capital through the Offering of the Series related to the Underlying Asset. 

In addition to acquiring Underlying Assets, from time to time, the Company receives unsolicited take-over offers for certain Underlying Assets. Per the terms of the Company’s operating agreement, the Company, together with the Company’s advisory board evaluates the offers and determines if it is in the interest of the Investors to sell the Underlying Asset. In certain instances, the Company may decide to sell an Underlying Asset, that is on the books of the Company, but not yet transferred to a particular Series, because no Offering has yet occurred. In these instances, the anticipated Offering related to such Underlying Asset will be cancelled.

 

Details on the Underlying Assets acquired or for which we entered into purchase option agreements or purchase agreements, or which have subsequently been sold, as listed in the Master Series Table and summarized in the table below. As of December 31, 2019, no Underlying Assets had been sold.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception, the Company and the Series have financed their business activities through capital contributions to the Company and individual Series from the Manager (or its affiliates). However, there is no obligation or assurance that the Manager will provide such required capital. Until such time as the Series’ have the capacity to generate cash flows from operations, the Manager may cover any deficits through additional capital contributions or the issuance of additional Interests in any individual Series. In addition, parts of the proceeds of future Offerings for individual Series may be used to create reserves for future operating expenses for such individual Series at the sole discretion of the Manager. There can be no assurance that the Manager will continue to fund such expenses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s and each listed Series’ ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of this filing.

Financial Obligations of the Company

 

On April 30, 2019, the Asset Manager and the Company, including an affiliate of the Asset Manager, entered into a $1.5 million revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. The LoC allowed the Asset Manager to draw up to 80% of the value of an Underlying Assets for any asset held on the books of the Company for less than 180 days. Interest rate on any amounts outstanding under the LoC accrued at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 0.50% above the Prime Rate (defined as the rate published in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal) or (ii) 6.0%. Interest expense is paid monthly by the Asset Manager. The Company was also held jointly and severably liable for any amounts outstanding under this LoC. On December 20, 2019, the Asset Manager and the Company cancelled the LoC and the Asset Manager repaid $220,000 outstanding under the LoC plus accrued interest of $1,100.

 

Simultaneous with the cancellation of the LoC, the Asset Manager and the Company, including an affiliate of the Asset Manager, entered into the DM with Upper90. The DM allows the Asset Manager to draw up to 100% of the value of the Underlying Assets for any asset held on the books of the Company. Interest rate on any amounts outstanding under the DM accrues at a fixed per annum rate of 15%. The Company is also held jointly and severably liable for any amounts outstanding under this DM. It is anticipated that the Asset Manager will replace the DM with a more permanent piece of debt from Upper90 at essentially the same terms sometime in the second quarter of 2020. At December 31, 2019, there were $1.56 million outstanding, per the table below, under the DM plus accrued interest of $7,800. Of the total $1.56 million in borrowings, $565,000 were related to Underlying Assets of the Company, the remainder related to Underlying Assets of the affiliate of the Asset Manager.

Note: Series #81AV1, Series #72FG2, Series #95FF1 and Series #03SS1 are Series of an affiliate of the Asset Manager.

 

From time to time the Manager, affiliates of the Manager or third-parties may make non-interest-bearing payments or loans to the Company to acquire an Underlying Asset prior to the Closing of an Offering for the respective Series. In such cases, the respective Series would repay any such non-interest-bearing payments or loans plus accrued interest, as the case may be, used to acquire its respective Underlying Asset with proceeds generated from the Closing of the Offering for Interests of such Series. No Series will have any obligation to repay a loan incurred by the Company to purchase an Underlying Asset for another Series.

 

See the subsection of “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of “Note A” to the Company’s financial statements for additional information.

Planned Offerings and Other Operations

The Company plans to launch the Offerings with their status listed as upcoming in the Master Series Table above as well as additional Offerings in the remainder of 2020. The Company also plans to launch approximately 100 additional Offerings in the next twelve-month period, as of the date of this filing, including Offerings for increasingly higher value Underlying Assets.  The proceeds from any Offerings closed during the next twelve months will be used to acquire the Underlying Asset of each Series for which an Offering has closed. We believe that launching a larger number of Offerings in 2020 and beyond will help us from a number of perspectives:

1)Continue to grow the user base on the Platform by attracting more Investors into our ecosystem. 

2)Enable the Company to reduce operating expenses for each Series, as we negotiate better contracts for storage, insurance and other operating expenses with a larger collection of Underlying Assets. 

3)Attract a larger community of Asset Sellers with high quality Underlying Assets to the Platform who may view us as a more efficient method of transacting than the traditional auction or dealership processes. 

 

In addition to more Offerings, we also intend to continue to develop Membership Experience Programs, which allow Investors to enjoy the collection of assets acquired and managed by the Company through Membership Experience Programs. The initial testing of such Membership Experience Programs commenced in early 2019, with the opening of the Asset Manager’s showroom in New York and the launch of the Asset Manger’s online merchandise shopping experience, but no revenues directly attributable to the Company or any Series have been generated by such programs. We expect to develop additional Membership Experience Programs throughout the remainder of 2020 and beyond, including one additional showroom location in the next year as of the date of this filing. We believe that expanding the Membership Experience Programs in 2020 and beyond will help us from a number of perspectives:

1)Serve as an additional avenue to attract users to the Platform and to engage the existing users and Investors. 

2)Start to generate revenues for the Series from the Underlying Assets used in the Membership Experience Programs, which we anticipate will enable the Underlying Assets to generate revenues for the Series to cover, in whole or in part, the ongoing post-Closing operating expenses. 

We do not anticipate generating enough revenues in fiscal year 2020 from Membership Experience Programs, or otherwise, to cover all the operating expenses for any of the existing Series, or any other Series of Interests for which Offerings are expected to close in fiscal year 2020.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURE

Plan of distribution

 

We are managed by the Manager, RSE Archive Manager, a single-member LLC owned by RSE Markets, the Asset Manager. The Asset Manager also owns and operates a mobile app-based investment Platform, through which Investors may indirectly invest, through a Series of the Company’s Interests, in Underlying Asset opportunities that have been historically difficult to access for many market participants. Through the use of the Platform, Investors can browse and screen the potential investments and sign legal documents electronically. We intend to distribute the Interests exclusively through the Platform.  Neither the Manager nor the Asset Manager nor any other affiliated entity involved in the offer and sale of the Interests is a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, and no person associated with us will be deemed to be a broker solely by reason of his or her participation in the sale of the Interests.

The sale of the Interests is being facilitated by the BOR, which is a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and member of FINRA and is registered in each state where the offer and sales of the Interests will occur. Interests may not be offered or sold in states where the BOR is not registered as a broker-dealer.

With respect to the Interests:

-The Company is the entity which issues membership Interests in each Series of the Company; 

-The Asset Manager owns and operates the Platform, through which membership Interests are offered under Tier 2 of Regulation A pursuant to this Offering Circular, and, in its capacity as Asset Manager, provides services with respect to the selection, acquisition, ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the Underlying Assets; 

-The Manager operates each Series of Interests following the Closing of the Offering for that Series; and  

-The BOR, which is a registered broker-dealer, acts as the broker of record and facilitates the sale of the Interests while providing certain other Investor verification and regulatory services. For the avoidance of doubt, the BOR is not an underwriter or placement agent in connection with the Offering. The BOR does not purchase or solicit purchases of, or make any recommendations regarding, the Interests to prospective Investors. 

 

Neither the BOR, nor any other entity, receives a finder’s fee or any underwriting or placement agent discounts or commissions in relation to any Offering of Interests.  

 

Each of the Offerings is being conducted under Regulation A under the Securities Act and therefore, only offered and sold to “qualified purchasers”.  For further details on the suitability requirements an Investor must meet in order to participate in these Offerings, see “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Investor Suitability Standards”. As a Tier 2 Offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, these Offerings will be exempt from state law Blue Sky registration requirements, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain antifraud provisions, to the extent that our Interests are offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” or at a time when our Interests are listed on a national securities exchange. It is anticipated that sales of securities will only be made in states where the BOR is registered.

The initial Offering price for each Series of Interests is equal to the aggregate of (i) the purchase price of the applicable Underlying Asset, (ii) the Brokerage Fee, (iii) Offering Expenses, (iv) the Acquisition Expenses, and (v) the Sourcing Fee (in each case as described below) divided by the number of membership Interests sold in each Offering. The initial Offering price for a particular Series is a fixed price and will not vary based on demand by Investors or potential Investors.

Note: Table does not include any Offerings or anticipated Offerings for which the Underlying Asset has been sold and represents details through the date of this filing. Brokerage Fee and Offering Expenses (Custody Fee) assume that 100% of Interests in each Offering are sold.

There will be different Closing dates for each Offering. 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 this Offering Circular is qualified by 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 in its sole discretion.  

 

In the case of each Series designated with a purchase option agreement in the Master Series Table, the Company has independent purchase option agreements to acquire the individual Underlying Assets, which it plans to exercise upon the Closing of the individual Offering. These individual purchase option agreements may be further extended past their initial expiration dates and in the case a Series Offering does not close on or before its individual expiration date, or if we are unable to negotiate an extension of the purchase option, the individual Offering will be terminated.

This Offering Circular does not constitute an offer or sale of any Series of Interests outside of the U.S.

Those persons who want to invest in the Interests must sign a Subscription Agreement, which will contain representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions customary for private placement investments in limited liability companies, see “How to Subscribe” below for further details.  A copy of the form of Subscription Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.1.


314


Each Series of Interests will be issued in book-entry form without certificates and, as of this time, will be transferred into a custodial account, created by the Custodian for each Investor, upon the Closing of the applicable Offerings. All previously issued shares held on the books of the Issuer are transferred into the Custodian brokerage accounts upon consent by the individual Investors.

The Asset Manager, the Manager or its affiliates, and not the Company, will pay all of the expenses incurred in these Offerings that are not covered by the Brokerage Fee, the Sourcing Fee, Offering Expenses or Acquisition Expenses, including fees to Legal Counsel, but excluding fees for counsel or other advisors to the Investors and fees associated with the filing of periodic reports with the Commission and future blue-sky filings with state securities departments, as applicable.  Any Investor desiring to engage separate legal counsel or other professional advisors in connection with this Offering will be responsible for the fees and costs of such separate representation.

Investor Suitability Standards

 

The Interests are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act) include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other Investors so long as their investment in any of the Interests of the Company (in connection with this Series or any other Series offered under Regulation A) does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). We reserve the right to reject any Investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such Investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

For an individual potential Investor to be an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the Investor must be a natural person who has:

1.an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person and the mortgage on that primary residence (to the extent not underwater), but including the amount of debt that exceeds the value of that residence and including any increase in debt on that residence within the prior 60 days, other than as a result of the acquisition of that primary residence; or 

2.earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year. 

If the Investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details. For purposes of determining whether a potential Investor is a “qualified purchaser”, annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited Investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an Investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles.

The Interests will not be offered or sold to prospective Investors subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and regulations thereunder, as amended (“ERISA”).

If you live outside the United States, it is your responsibility to fully observe the laws of any relevant territory or jurisdiction outside the United States in connection with any purchase, including obtaining required governmental or other consent and observing any other required legal or other formalities.

Our Manager and the BOR, in its capacity as broker of record for these Offerings, will be permitted to make a determination that the subscribers of Interests in each Offering are “qualified purchasers” in reliance on the information and representations provided by the subscriber regarding the subscriber’s financial situation. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable federal 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.


315


An investment in our Interests may involve significant risks.  Only Investors who can bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time and the loss of their entire investment should invest in the Interests.  See “Risk Factors.”

Minimum and Maximum Investment

 

The minimum subscription by an Investor in an Offering is one (1) Interest and the maximum subscription by any Investor in any Offering is for Interests representing 10% of the total Interests of the Series, where such maximum subscription limit may be waived for an Investor by the Manager in its sole discretion. Such limits do not apply to the Manager and/or affiliates of the Manager.  The Manager and/or its affiliates must purchase a minimum of 2% of Interests of each Series at the Closing of its each Offering. The Manager may purchase greater than 2% of Interests of any Series (including in excess of 10% of any Series) at the applicable Closing, in its sole discretion.    

 

Lock-up Period

 

Upon the Closing of an Offering for a particular Series, a 90-day lock-up period will commence from the day of the Closing, before Interests in the particular Series may be transferred by any Investor in such Series.  

 

Broker

 

Pursuant to a broker-dealer agreement, dated August 12, 2019, between the Company and the BOR (as amended, the “Brokerage Agreement”) will serve as broker of record for the Company’s Regulation A Offerings.

 

The BOR will perform the following technology and compliance services in connection with the sale of the Interests as a broker-of-record:

 

1.Accept Investor data from the Company; 

2.Review and process Investor information, including Know Your Customer (KYC) data, perform Anti-Money Laundering (AML), using the BOR and third-party vendors resources, and other compliance background checks, and provide a recommendation to the Company whether or not to accept Investor as a customer of the Company based solely on AML and KYC process; 

3.Coordinate and help establish escrow services for Investor documentation, if necessary, through a third-party qualified escrow agent: 

4.Review each Investor’s subscription agreement to confirm accuracy of information and such Investors participation in the Series, and based upon such review provide a determination to the Company whether or not to accept the use of the subscription agreement for the Investor’s participation; 

5.Contact and/or notify the Company of any Investor that the BOR advises the Company to decline; 

6.Contact and/or notify the Company, if needed, to gather additional information or clarification; 

7.Serve as a registered agent for each Series on which it acts as broker-of-record where required for state Blue Sky law requirements;  

8.Coordinate and transmit book-entry data to the Company’s Custodian to assist in maintaining the Company’s ownership registry for each Series; 

9.Keep Investor details and data confidential and not disclose to any third-party except as required by regulators or in performance of its obligations under the Brokerage Agreement (e.g. as needed for AML and background checks); and  

10.Comply with any required FINRA filings including filings required under Rule 5110 for the Offering. 

 

The BOR is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of the FINRA and the SIPC and is registered in each state where the Offerings and sale of the Interest will occur but will not act as a finder, placement agent or underwriter in connection with these Offerings. The BOR will receive a Brokerage Fee but will not purchase or solicit the purchase of any Interests and, therefore, will not be eligible to receive any finder’s fees or any underwriting or placement agent discounts or commissions in connection with any Offering of Interests.  In addition, we have agreed pay the BOR for certain other expenses.


316


The Brokerage Agreement will remain in effect for a period ending on the earlier of: (i) the final Closing of the Offering for a Series of Interests for which the BOR acts as broker-of-record, or (ii) twelve (12) months from the effective date of the Brokerage Agreement. A copy of the Brokerage Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 6.2.

Custodian

The Custodian will hold the brokerage accounts into which Interests in the Company’s Offerings are transferred upon the Closing of each of the Company’s Offerings, pursuant to a custody agreement dated January 7, 2020 (as amended, the “Custody Agreement”).  The Custodian is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of the FINRA and the SIPC and is registered in every state in which Interests in Series of the Company will be sold.  The Custodian will receive a Custody Fee but will not purchase any Interests and, therefore, will not be eligible to receive any discounts, commissions or any underwriting or finder’s fees in connection with any Offering.

Escrow Agent

 

The Escrow Agent who will be appointed pursuant to an escrow agreement among the BOR, the Escrow Agent, and the Company, on behalf of the Series (the “Escrow Agreement”). Each Series will generally be responsible for fees due to the Escrow Agent, which are categorized as part of the Offering Expenses described in the “Fees and Expenses” section below; however, the Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for fees due to the Escrow Agent incurred in the case of the Offerings for the Series in the Master Series Table. The Company and the BOR must jointly and severally indemnify the Escrow Agent and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents against any losses that are incurred in connection with providing the services under the Escrow Agreement other than losses that arise out of the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. A copy of the Escrow Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1.

Fees and Expenses

 

Offering Expenses

Each Series of Interests will generally be responsible for their respective Offering Expenses. Offering Expenses consist of legal, accounting, escrow, filing, banking, compliance costs and Custody Fees, as applicable, related to a specific Offering (and excludes ongoing costs described in Operating Expenses). The Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Offering Expenses incurred with respect to the Offerings for the Series detailed in the Master Series Table except in the case of Custody Fees, which are funded through the proceeds of the respective Offerings at Closing.

As compensation for providing certain custodian services to the Company, the Custodian will receive the Custody Fee.  Each Series of Interests will be responsible for paying its own Custody Fee to the Custodian in connection with the sale of Interests in such Series, except if otherwise stated for a particular Series. The Custody Fee will be payable from the proceeds of such Offering. For all previously closed Offerings, the Manager will retroactively pay the Custodian the Custody Fee upon transfer of Interests related to such Offerings into the brokerage accounts created for each Interest Holder by the Custodian.

Acquisition Expenses

 

Each Series of Interests will be responsible for any and all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the evaluation, discovery, investigation, development and acquisition of the Underlying Asset related to such Series incurred prior to the Closing, including brokerage and sales fees and commissions (but excluding the Brokerage Fee), appraisal fees, research fees, transfer taxes, third party industry and due diligence experts, bank fees and interest (if the Underlying Asset was acquired using debt prior to completion of an Offering), auction house fees, travel and lodging for inspection purposes, transportation costs to transfer the Underlying Asset from the Asset Seller’s possession to the storage facility or to locations for creation of photography and videography materials (including any insurance required in connection with such transportation), initial refurbishment or maintenance, and photography and videography expenses in order to prepare the profile for the Underlying Asset on the Platform.

Brokerage Fee

 

As compensation for providing certain broker-dealer services to the Company, the BOR will receive the Brokerage Fee. Each Series of Interests will be responsible for paying its own Brokerage Fee to the BOR in connection with the sale of Interests in such Series, except if otherwise stated for a particular Series. The Brokerage Fee will be payable from the proceeds of such Offering. In addition to the Brokerage Fee, the Company has agreed to pay the BOR a one-time advance set up fee of $10,000.   The Company will also fund $8,000 in FINRA 5110 filing fees which represents the 5110 fee for the maximum of $50,000,000 of issuance in the upcoming twelve-month period. The set-up fee is to facilitate the Offerings but is not related to a specific Series of Interests. Any unused portion of these fees will be reimbursed to the Company.

Sourcing Fee

The Manager will be paid the Sourcing Fee, which in respect of each Offering, shall not exceed the amounts described in the Master Series Table and in respect of any other Offering, such amount as determined by the Manager at the time of such Offering.

How to Subscribe

 

Potential Investors who are “qualified purchasers” may subscribe to purchase Interests in the Series which have not had a Closing, as detailed in the Master Series Table (gray highlighting in the Master Series Table indicates Series for which an Offering has not yet closed).  

The subscription process for each Offering is a separate process. Any potential Investor wishing to acquire any Series Interests must:

1.Carefully read this Offering Circular, and any current supplement, as well as any documents described in the Offering Circular and attached hereto or which you have requested. Consult with your tax, legal and financial advisors to determine whether an investment in any of the Series Interests is suitable for you. 

2.Review the Subscription Agreement (including the “Investor Qualification and Attestation” attached thereto), which was pre-populated following your completion of certain questions on the Platform application and if the responses remain accurate and correct, sign the completed Subscription Agreement using electronic signature.  Except as otherwise required by law, subscriptions may not be withdrawn or cancelled by subscribers.  


318


3.Once the completed Subscription Agreement is signed for a particular Offering, an integrated online payment provider will transfer funds in an amount equal to the purchase price for the relevant Series of Interests you have applied to subscribe for (as set out on the front page of your Subscription Agreement) into a non-interest-bearing escrow account with Escrow Agent .  The Escrow Agent will hold such subscription monies in escrow until such time as your Subscription Agreement is either accepted or rejected by the Manager and, if accepted, such further time until you are issued with Series Interests for which you subscribed. 

4.The Manager and the BOR will review the subscription documentation completed and signed by you. You may be asked to provide additional information. The Manager or the BOR will contact you directly if required.  We reserve the right to reject any subscriptions, in whole or in part, for any or no reason, and to withdraw any Offering at any time prior to Closing. 

5.Once the review is complete, the Manager will inform you whether or not your application to subscribe for the Series Interests is approved or denied and if approved, the number of Series Interests you are entitled to subscribe for. If your subscription is rejected in whole or in part, then your subscription payments (being the entire amount if your application is rejected in whole or the payments associated with those subscriptions rejected in part) will be refunded promptly, without interest or deduction. The Manager accepts subscriptions on a first-come, first served basis subject to the right to reject or reduce subscriptions.  

6.If all or a part of your subscription in a particular Series is approved, then the number of Series Interests you are entitled to subscribe for will be issued to you upon the Closing. Simultaneously with the issuance of the Series Interests, the subscription monies held by the Escrow Agent in escrow on your behalf will be transferred to the account of the applicable Series as consideration for such Series Interests. 

By executing the Subscription Agreement, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Subscription Agreement and Operating Agreement. The Company, the Manager and the BOR will rely on the information you provide in the Subscription Agreement, including the “Investor Qualification and Attestation” attached thereto and the supplemental information you provide in order for the Manager and the BOR to verify your status as a “qualified purchaser”. If any information about your “qualified purchaser” status changes prior to you being issued Series Interests, please notify the Manager immediately using the contact details set out in the Subscription Agreement.

For further information on the subscription process, please contact the Manager using the contact details set out in the “Where to Find Additional Information” section.

The subscription funds advanced by prospective Investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a non-interest-bearing account with the Escrow Agent and will not be commingled with the Series of Interests’ operating account, until if and when there is a Closing for a particular Offering with respect to that Investor. When the Escrow Agent has received instructions from the Manager or the BOR that an Offering will close, and the Investor’s subscription is to be accepted (either in whole or part), then the Escrow Agent shall disburse such Investor’s subscription proceeds in its possession to the account of the applicable Series.  If an Offering is terminated without a Closing, or if a prospective Investor’s subscription is not accepted or is cut back due to oversubscription or otherwise, such amounts placed into escrow by prospective Investors will be returned promptly to them without interest or deductions.  Any costs and expenses associated with a terminated Offering will be borne by the Manager.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Overview

 

The Memorabilia Assets market, a global, multi-billion-dollar industry, is characterized by: (i) a very small number of collectors who have the financial means to acquire, enjoy and derive financial gains from the highest quality and value Memorabilia Assets, and (ii) a very large number of Asset Class enthusiasts who have equivalent knowledge and passion for the assets, but no current mechanism to benefit financially from or enjoy certain benefits of ownership of the Asset Class in the highest value segment. This dichotomy and the disproportionate access to the upper-end of the market have resulted in the creation of significant latent demand from the enthusiast community to participate more meaningfully in an Asset Class that, to date, they have passively watched deliver returns to a select group of individual collectors.

The Company’s mission is to leverage technology and design, modern business models influenced by the sharing economy, and advancements in the financial regulatory environment to democratize the Asset Class. The Company aims to provide enthusiasts with access to the market by enabling them to create a diversified portfolio of equity Interests in the highest quality Memorabilia Assets through a seamless investment experience through the Platform. As well, Investors will have the opportunity to participate in a unique collective ownership experience, including museum/retail locations and social events, as part of the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”). The objective is to use revenue generated from these Membership Experience Programs to fund the highest caliber of care for the Underlying Assets in the collection, which we expect ultimately to be offset by meaningful economies of scale in the form of lower costs for collection level insurance, maintenance contracts and storage facilities, and to generate Free Cash Flow distributions to equity Investors in the Underlying Assets.  The Manager may maintain Free Cash Flow funds in a deposit account or an investment account for the benefit of the Series.

Collectors and dealers interested in selling their Underlying Assets will benefit from greater liquidity, significantly lower transaction costs and overhead, and a higher degree of transparency as compared to traditional methods of transacting the Underlying Assets. Auction and consignment models may include upwards of ~20% of asset value in transaction costs, as well as meaningful overhead in terms of asset preparation, shipping and marketing costs, and time value. The Company thus aims to align the interests of buyers and sellers, while opening up the market to a significantly larger number of participants than was previously possible, thereby driving market appropriate valuations and greater liquidity.

Business of the Company

 

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 Underlying Asset collection at the Membership Experience Programs (as defined below).

We anticipate that the Company’s core competency will be the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of Memorabilia Assets for the benefit of the Investors. In addition, through the use the Platform, the Company aspires to offer innovative digital products that support a seamless, transparent and unassuming investment process as well as unique and enjoyable experiences that enhance the utility value of investing in passion assets. The Company, with the support of the Manager and its affiliates and through the use of the Platform, aims to provide:

(i)Investors with access to highest quality Memorabilia Assets for investment, portfolio diversification and secondary market liquidity for their Interests, through the Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information)  on the Platform, or otherwise, although there can be no guarantee that a secondary market will ever develop, through the Liquidity Platform, or otherwise, or that appropriate registrations to permit such secondary trading will ever be obtained. 


320


(ii)Asset Sellers with greater market transparency and insights, lower transaction costs, increased liquidity, a seamless and convenient sale process, portfolio diversification and the ability to retain minority equity positions in assets via the retention of equity Interests in Offerings conducted through the Platform.  

(iii) All Platform users with a premium, highly curated, engaging Memorabilia Asset media experience, including “fantasy collecting” features. The investable assets on the Platform will be supplemented with “private” assets, which will be used to generate conversation, support the “fantasy collecting” component of the Platform and enable users to share personal sentiment on all types of assets. 

(iv)All Platform users and others with opportunities to engage with the Underlying Assets in the Company’s collection through a diverse set of tangible interactions with assets on the Platform and unique collective ownership experiences (together, the “Membership Experience Programs”) such as: 

 

·Visit & interact at Rally Rd.™ Museums (i.e., Open HQ, warehouse visits, pop-up shops with partner businesses, or “tents” at major auctions/events where users can view the Underlying Assets in person and interact with each other in a social environment); 

·Asset sponsorship models (e.g. corporate sponsors or individuals pay for assets to appear in movies, commercials or at events); and 

·Other asset-related products (e.g., merchandise, social networking, communities). 

A core principle of Memorabilia Asset collecting is the enjoyment of the assets. As such, the ultimate goal of the Membership Experience Programs will be to operate the asset profitably (i.e., generate revenues in excess of Operating Expenses at the Membership Experience Programs within mandated usage guidelines) while maintaining exemplary maintenance standards to support the potential generation of financial returns for Investors in each Series. The Membership Experience Programs, with appropriate controls and incentives, and active monitoring by the Manager and the Asset Manager, should enable a highly differentiated and enjoyable shared collecting experience while providing for premium care for assets in the Company’s collection. To the extent the Manager and the Asset Manager considers it beneficial to Investors, we plan to include all the Underlying Assets, in the sole discretion of the Manager, in the Membership Experience Programs.  

Our objective is to become the leading marketplace for investing in collector quality Memorabilia Assets and, through the Platform, to provide Investors with financial returns commensurate with returns in the Asset Class, to enable deeper and more meaningful participation by Memorabilia Asset enthusiasts in the hobby, to provide experiential and social benefits comparable to those of a world-class Memorabilia Asset collector, and to manage the collection in a manner that provides exemplary care to the assets and offers potential returns for Investors.

Competition

Although the Company’s business model is unique in the Asset Class, there is potentially significant competition for the Underlying Assets, which the Company securitizes through its Offerings, from many different market participants. While the majority of transactions continue to be peer-to-peer with very limited public information, other market players such as dealers and auction houses continue to play an increasing role.

Most of our current and potential competitors in the Asset Class, such as dealers and auction houses, have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources sourcing the Memorabilia Assets that the Company competes for. In addition, almost all of these competitors, in particular the auction houses, have longer operating histories and greater name recognition than we do and are focused on a more established business model.

There are also start-up models around shared ownership of Memorabilia Assets, developing in the industry, which will result in additional competition for Memorabilia Assets, but so far none of these models focus on the regulated securities market.


321


With the continued increase in popularity in the Asset Class, we expect competition for Memorabilia Assets to intensify in future. Increased competition may lead to increased prices, which will reduce the potential value appreciation that Investors may be able to achieve by owning Interests in the Company’s Offerings and will decreased the number of high-quality assets the Company can securitize through the Platform.

In addition, there are companies that are developing crowd funding models for other alternative asset classes such as racehorses or art, who may decide to enter the Asset Class as well.

Customers

We target the broader U.S. Asset Class enthusiast and the 83.1 million U.S. millennial market (based on 2015 figures by the U.S. Census Bureau) as our key customer bases. The customers of the Company are the Investors in each Series that has closed an Offering. As of the date of this filing, the Company has closed the Offerings highlighted in white in the Master Series Table.

Manager

The Operating Agreement designates the Manager as the managing member of the Company.  The Manager will generally not be entitled to vote on matters submitted to the Interest Holders.  The Manager will not have any distribution, redemption, conversion or liquidation rights by virtue of its status as the Manager.

The Operating Agreement further provides that the Manager, in exercising its rights in its capacity as the managing member, will be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and will have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company, any Series of Interests or any of the Interest Holders and will not be subject to any different standards imposed by the Operating Agreement, the LLC Act or under any other law, rule or regulation or in equity.  In addition, the Operating Agreement provides that the Manager will not have any duty (including any fiduciary duty) to the Company, any Series or any of the Interest Holders.

In the event the Manager resigns as managing member of the Company, the holders of a majority of all Interests of the Company may elect a successor managing member.  Holders of Interests in each Series of the Company have the right to remove the Manager as Manager of the Company, by a vote of two-thirds of the holders of all Interests in each Series of the Company (excluding the Manager), in the event the Manager is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with a Series of Interests or the Company. If so convicted, the Manager shall call a meeting of all of the holders of every Series of Interests within 30 calendar days of such non-appealable judgment at which the holders may vote to remove the Manager as Manager of the Company and each Series.  If the Manager fails to call such a meeting, any Interest Holder will have the authority to call such a meeting.  In the event of its removal, the Manager shall be entitled to receive all amounts that have accrued and are due and payable to it. If the holders vote to terminate and dissolve the Company (and therefore the Series), the liquidation provisions of the Operating Agreement shall apply (as described in “Description of the Interests Offered – Liquidation Rights”). In the event the Manager is removed as Manager of the Company, it shall also immediately cease to be Manager of any Series.  

See “Management” for additional information regarding the Manager.  

Advisory Board

The Manager has assembled an Advisory Board to assist the Manager in identifying and acquiring the Underlying Assets, to assist the Asset Manager in managing the Underlying Assets and to advise the Manager and certain other matters associated with the business of the Company and the various Series of Interests.  

The members of the Advisory Board are not managers or officers of the Company or any Series and do not have any fiduciary or other duties to the Interest Holders of any Series.   


322


 

Operating Expenses

Operating Expenses are allocated to each Series based on the Companies allocation policy (see “Allocation of Expenses” below). Each Series is only responsible for the Operating Expenses associated with such Series, as determined by the Manager in accordance with the allocation policy, and not the Operating Expenses related to any other Series. Upon the Closing of an Offering for a Series, the Series will be responsible for the following costs and expenses attributable to the activities of the Company related to the Series:

(i)any and all ongoing fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the management of the Underlying Asset related to a Series, including import taxes, income taxes, annual registration fees, transportation (other than transportation costs described in Acquisition Expenses), storage (including its allocable portion of property rental fees should the Manager decide to rent a property to store a number of Underlying Assets), security, valuation, custodianship, marketing, maintenance, refurbishment, presentation, perfection of title and utilization of an Underlying Asset; 

(ii)fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with preparing any reports and accounts of a Series of Interests, including any blue-sky filings required in certain states and any annual audit of the accounts of such Series of Interests (if applicable); 

(iii)fees, costs and expenses of a third-party registrar and transfer agent appointed in connection with a Series of Interests; 

(iv)fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with making any tax filings on behalf of the Series of Interests; 

(v)any indemnification payments; 

(vi)any and all insurance premiums or expenses incurred in connection with the Underlying Asset, including insurance required for utilization at and transportation of the Underlying Asset to events under Membership Experience Programs (excluding any insurance taken out by a corporate sponsor or individual paying to showcase an asset at an event but including, if obtained, directors and officers insurance of the directors and officers of the Manager or the Asset Manager); and 

(vii)any similar expenses that may be determined to be Operating Expenses, as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion. 

The Manager and the Asset Manager have agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Operating Expenses incurred prior to the Closing of any of the Series detailed in the Master Series Table. The Manager and the Asset Manager each will bear their own expenses of an ordinary nature, including all costs and expenses on account of rent (other than for storage of the Underlying Asset), supplies, secretarial expenses, stationery, charges for furniture, fixtures and equipment, payroll taxes, remuneration and expenses paid to employees and utilities expenditures (excluding utilities expenditures in connection with the storage of the Underlying Assets).

If the Operating Expenses for a particular Series exceed the amount of revenues generated from the Underlying Asset of such Series and cannot be covered by any Operating Expense reserves on the balance sheet of the Series, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the Series, on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and be entitled to Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations, and/or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in the Series in order to cover such additional amounts.

Indemnification of the Manager and its affiliates

 

The Operating Agreement provides that the Indemnified Parties won’t be liable to the Company, any Series or any Interest Holders for any act or omission taken by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the business of the Company or any Series that has not been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  

Each Series will indemnify the Indemnified Parties out of its assets against all liabilities and losses (including amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines, penalties or settlement of litigation, including legal fees and expenses) to which they become subject by virtue of serving as Indemnified Parties with respect to the Company or the applicable


323


Series and with respect to any act or omission that has not been determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Description of the Asset Management Agreement

Each Series has entered or intends to enter into a separate Asset Management Agreement with the Asset Manager. The Series referenced in the Master Series Table, will each appoint the Asset Manager to manage the respective Underlying Assets pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement. The services provided by the Asset Manager will include:

-Together with members of the Advisory Board, creating the asset maintenance policies for the collection of assets;  

-Investigating, selecting, and, on behalf of the applicable Series, engaging and conducting business with such persons as the Asset Manager deems necessary to ensure the proper performance of its obligations under the Asset Management Agreement, including but not limited to consultants, insurers, insurance agents, maintenance providers, storage providers and transportation providers and any and all persons acting in any other capacity deemed by the Asset Manager necessary or desirable for the performance of any of the services under the Asset Management Agreement; and 

-Developing standards for the transportation and care of the Underlying Assets.  

The Asset Management Agreement entered with each Series will terminate on the earlier of: (i) one year after the date on which the relevant Underlying Asset related to a Series has been liquidated and the obligations connected to the Underlying Asset (including, contingent obligations) have been terminated, (ii) the removal of the Manager as managing member of the Company (and thus all Series of Interests), (iii) upon notice by one party to the other party of a party’s material breach of the Asset Management Agreement, or (iv) such other date as agreed between the parties to the Asset Management Agreement.

Each Series will indemnify the Asset Manager out of its assets against all liabilities and losses (including amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines, penalties or settlement of litigation, including legal fees and expenses) to which they become subject by virtue of serving as Asset Manager under the Asset Management Agreement with respect to any act or omission that has not been determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Management Fee

 

As consideration for managing each Underlying Asset, the Asset Manager will be paid a semi-annual Management Fee pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement (see “Description of the Asset Management Agreement” above for additional information), equal to up to 50% of any available Free Cash Flow generated by a Series for such six-month period.  The Management Fee will only become payable if there are sufficient proceeds to distribute Free Cash Flow to the Interest Holders.  

 

Asset Selection

 

The Company targets a broad spectrum of assets globally in order to cater to a wide variety of tastes and investment strategies across the Asset Class. We intend to acquire assets from across all sub-categories of the Asset Class, but with particular focus on items with broad appeal and significance. For example, in sports memorabilia, this would include objects related to high profile players or memorable teams. We will pursue acquisitions opportunistically on a global basis whenever we can leverage our industry specific knowledge or relationships to bring compelling investment opportunities to Investors. It is our objective to acquire only the highest caliber assets, although we may opportunistically choose to acquire assets of lesser qualities from time to time if we consider these to be prudent investments for the Investors on the Platform, and to appropriately maintain, monitor and manage the collection to support its continued value appreciation and to enable respectful enjoyment by the Investors. We maintain an ongoing list of investment opportunities across the various asset categories we track, including:

(i) Tier 1: comprehensive lists of items in each major sub-category of the Asset Class that fit within the broad asset categories described above. Tier 1 assets provide a breadth of content for the Platform and are viewed as assets for general consideration.


324


(ii) Tier 2: narrow lists of marquee assets that define each investment category as a whole within the collector and investor community. In addition to being prudent investments, Tier 2 assets will also play a key role in promoting the Platform because of their high consumer recognition factor.

(iii) Tier 3: target acquisition lists of assets that the Manager and Advisory Board believe would offer the greatest return on investment potential to Investors across various makes, models and vintages.

(iv) Tier 4: current acquisition lists of assets where the Manager and the Company are proactively searching for particular examples to present as opportunities for investment on the Platform.  Tier 4 lists include what we believe to be the most desirable and actionable assets in the Asset Class at any time.

We anticipate that our Advisory Board will assist in the identification of Underlying Assets and in finding and identifying storage, maintenance specialists and other related service providers. This will give the Company access to the highest quality assets and balanced information and decision making from information collected across a diverse set of constituents in the Asset Class, as well as a network of partners to ensure the highest standards of care for the Underlying Assets.

Our asset selection criteria were established by the Manager in consultation with the Asset Manager and  members of the Company’s Advisory Board and are continually influenced by Investor demand and current industry trends. The criteria are subject to change from time to time in the sole discretion of the Manager. Although we cannot guarantee positive investment returns on the Underlying Assets we acquire, we endeavor to select assets that are projected to generate positive return on investment, primarily based upon the asset’s value appreciation potential as well as the potential for the Company to effectively monetize the asset through its Membership Experience Programs. The Manager, with guidance from the Asset Manager and members of the Company’s Advisory Board, will endeavor to only select assets with known ownership history, certificates of authenticity, and highest possible quality grades, to the extent that such metrics exist in a particular sub-sector (e.g. trading cards) and other related records.  The Manager, with guidance from the Asset Manager and members of the Company’s Advisory Board, also considers the condition of the assets, historical significance, ownership history and provenance, the historical valuation of the specific asset or comparable assets and our ability to relocate the asset to offer tangible experiences to Investors and members of the Platform.  From time to time the Manager, in consultation with our expert network, the Asset Manager and members of the Company’s and Advisory Board, will decide to refurbish assets either prior to designating a Series of Interests associated with such Underlying Asset on the Platform or as part of an Underlying Asset’s ongoing maintenance schedule. Any refurbishment will only be performed if it is deemed to be accretive to the value of the Underlying Asset. The Manager, with guidance from the Asset Manager and members of the Company’s Advisory Board, will review asset selection criteria at least annually. The Manager, in consultation with the Asset Manager, will seek approval from the Advisory Board for any major deviations from these criteria.

 

Through the Company’s network, the Asset Manager and Advisory Board, we believe that we will be able to identify and acquire Underlying Assets of the highest quality and known provenance, as well as examples of potential “future classics,” and obtain proprietary access to limited production runs, with the intent of driving returns for Investors in the Series of Interests that owns the applicable asset. Concurrently, through the Platform, we aim to bring together a significantly larger number of potential buyers with Asset Sellers than traditional auction houses or dealers are able to achieve. Through this process, we believe we can source and syndicate Underlying Assets more efficiently than the traditional method in the Asset Class and with significantly lower transaction and holding costs.

 

Asset Acquisition

 

The Company plans to acquire Underlying Asset through various methods:

1)Upfront purchase – the Company acquires an Underlying Asset from an Asset Seller prior to the launch of Offering related to the Series 

2)Purchase agreement – the Company enters into an agreement with an Asset Seller to acquire an Underlying Asset, which may expire prior to the Closing of the Offering for the related Series, in which case the Company is obligated to acquire the Underlying Asset prior to the Closing 


325


3)Purchase option agreement – the Company enters into a purchase option agreement with an Asset Seller, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Underlying Asset 

In the case where an Underlying Asset is acquired prior to the launch or Closing, as the case may be, of the Offering process for the related Series, the proceeds from the associated Offering, net of any Brokerage Fee, Offering Expenses or other Acquisition Expenses or Sourcing Fee, will be used to reimburse the Company for the acquisition of the Underlying Asset or repay any loans made to the Company, plus applicable interest, to acquire such Underlying Asset.

In the case where, rather than pre-purchasing an Underlying Asset before the Closing of an Offering, the Company may also negotiate with Asset Sellers for the exclusive right to market, an Underlying Asset on the Platform to Investors for a period of time. The Company plans to achieve this by pre-negotiating a purchase price (or desired amount of liquidity) and entering into an asset purchase agreement or a purchase option agreement with an Asset Seller for an Underlying Asset, which would close simultaneously upon the Closing of the Offering of Interests in the Series associated with that Underlying Asset. Then, upon Closing a successful Offering, the Asset Seller would be compensated with a combination of cash proceeds from the Offering and, if elected, equity ownership in the Series associated with the Underlying Asset (as negotiated in the agreement for such Underlying Asset).

In some cases, an Asset Seller may retain partial ownership of an Underlying Asset and hold membership Interests in the applicable Series representing its pro rata ownership of the Underlying Asset. For example, the Asset Seller will retain a 52.9% equity Interest in the Underlying Asset for the Series #HONUS. See the “Description of Series T206 Honus Wagner Card” section for further details. 

 

Additional details on the acquisition method for each Underlying Asset can be found in the Master Series Table and in the “Use of Proceeds” section for each respective Series.

Asset Liquidity

 

The Company intends to hold and manage all of the assets marketed on the Platform indefinitely. Liquidity for Investors is obtained by transferring their Interests in a Series, through the Liquidity Platform (see “Liquidity Platform” below for additional information), or otherwise, although there can be no guarantee that a secondary market for any Series of Interests will develop or that appropriate registrations to permit secondary trading, as the case may be, will ever be obtained. However, should an offer to liquidate an Underlying Asset materialize and be in the best interest of the Investors, as determined by the Manager, the Manager, with guidance from the Advisory Board will consider the merits of such offers on a case-by-case basis and potentially sell the asset. Furthermore, should an Underlying Asset become obsolete (e.g., due to lack Investor demand for its Interests) or suffer from a catastrophic event, the Manager may choose to sell the asset.  As a result of a sale under any circumstances, the Manager would distribute the proceeds of such sale (together with any insurance proceeds in the case of a catastrophic event covered under the asset’s insurance contract) to the Interest Holders of the applicable Series (after payment of any accrued liabilities or debt, including but not limited to balances outstanding under any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, on the Underlying Asset or of the Series at that time). In some cases, the Company’s ability to liquidate an Underlying Asset may be subject to certain restrictions or limitations on sale as set forth in the applicable purchase agreement or purchase option agreement.

Liquidity Platform

Overview

The Manager has entered into an arrangement with the Custodian that, subject to restrictions under state and federal securities laws and the transfer restrictions listed in the Operating Agreement (see “Description Of Interests Offered – Transfer Restrictions” section for additional details), facilitates the transfer of Interests issued by the Company.  The facilitation of the transfer of Interests is accomplished sporadically through an auction process for isolated non-issuer transactions (the “Trading Window”) and execution of the transfer is effected exclusively through the Custodian. The Asset Manager operates the Platform, through which Investors submit their indications of interests to transfer or purchase Interests, to be executed by the Custodian. The following process is subject to change.  


326


1)Frequency of facilitation: Under the Company’s documentation, there is a lock-up period of no less than 90 days after the Closing of the initial Offering for the Interests of any Series. No Interests may be transferred before the expiration of the lock-up period. Upon expiration of the lock-up period, a Trading Window may open for a particular Series of Interest no more than once every 30 to 90 days. The duration of the Trading Window is generally from 9:00a.m. EST to 4:30p.m. EST and each Trading Window remains open for one or two days during these hours. However, the Asset Manager, in its capacity as operator of the Platform, may change that frequency and duration.   

2)Indication of interest submission and aggregation: During the hours of the Trading Window for a particular Series of Interest, indications of interest to transfer or purchase Interests may be submitted by Investors who have opened a brokerage account with the Custodian. Throughout the Trading Window, all indications of interest are aggregated through the Platform with respect to the Interests in a particular Series and, at the end of the Trading Window, the market-clearing price at which the maximum number of Interests of a given Series are transacted during that particular Trading Window as determined (e.g., the price at which the maximum number of indications of interest to transfer and purchase overlap), to the extent such transfer is permitted by applicable law and the transfer restrictions detailed in the Operating Agreement.  

3)Indication of interest execution: After the end of the Trading Window, each Investor that has a qualifying match is notified through the Platform and is required to affirmatively confirm their desire to transact in their discretion at the market-clearing price. Upon confirmation by the Investor, the Custodian clears and closes any transactions during a fixed period of time after the end of the Trading Window. Once executed, the appropriate information is submitted back to the Platform by the Custodian and reflected in each Investor’s account on the Platform.  

 

User Interface and Role of the Platform

For the purposes of the Trading Window described above (see “—Overview”), the Platform serves as the user interface through which Investors submit indications of interest to transfer or purchase Interests in Series of the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, all activity related to execution of transfers or purchases of Interests on the Liquidity Platform (see “Liquidity Platform” above for additional information) are originated by the Investor and neither the Company, the Manager nor the Asset Manager are acting as a broker or dealer, and none of them make any recommendation as to the purchase or sale of any Interests. In addition, the registered broker-dealer does not make any recommendation as to the purchase or sale of any Interests. Neither the Company nor the Managing Member ever have custody of the Investor’s membership Interests, cash or other property, and all transfers of cash or securities will be performed by the registered broker-dealer or another appropriately licensed third party, at the direction of the Investor, upon Closing of a Trading Window.

The Platform merely acts as a user interface to deliver and display information to Investors and the registered broker-dealers. Neither the Company, the Manager nor the Asset Manager will receive any compensation for its role in the trading procedure unless and until the Manager or one of its affiliates registers as a broker-dealer.  As described above under the “Potential Conflicts of Interest – Conflicting interests of the Manager, the Asset Manager and the Investorssectionthe Manager or one of its affiliates in the future may register as a broker-dealer under state and federal securities laws, at which time it may charge fees in respect of trading of Interests on the Rally Rd™ Platform.

Facilities

The Manager intends to operate the Company and manage the collection in a manner that will focus on the ongoing security of all Underlying Assets. The Manager will store the Underlying Assets, along with other assets, in a professional facility and in accordance with standards commonly expected when managing Memorabilia Assets of equivalent value and always as recommended by the Advisory Board.


327


The Company has leased space in an art storage facility in Delaware for the purposes of storing the Underlying Assets in a highly controlled environment other than when some or all of the Underlying Assets are used in Membership Experience Programs or are otherwise being utilized for marketing or similar purposes. The facility the Company has leased space in, fulfills the following criteria:

-secure brick building in an office park with proximity to a police station; 

-security cameras record and monitor remotely all areas of the building; 

-temperature controlled to appropriate temperature for storage; 

-special locked and gated area where all valuable items are stored, with limited access for select personnel; 

-additionally, vaults exist inside the locked and gated area where ultra-high-end items are stored; and 

-all items are kept out of sunlight and, in the case of vault items, out of all light. 

From time to time various Underlying Assets may be held in third-party facilities, such as the Underlying Asset of the Series #HONUS, which will be showcased in the DePace Sports Museum at its principal location in New Jersey. In such cases, the Asset Manager endeavors to ensure that the Underlying Assets are stored with the appropriate care and insurance as would be the case if they were held in the facility in which the Company leases space, unless otherwise specified in the description for an Underlying Asset. See the “Description of Series T206 Honus Wagner Card” section for further details. 

Each of the Underlying Assets in the collection will be inspected on a regular basis according to the inspection schedule defined for each Underlying Asset by the Asset Manager in conjunction with members of the Advisory Board.

The Manager and the Asset Manager are located at 250 Lafayette Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10012 and the Asset Manager presently has twenty full-time employees and five part-time contractors.  Neither the Manager nor the Company has any employees.

Legal Proceedings

 

None of the Company, any Series, the Manager, the Asset Manager or any director or executive officer of the Manager or Asset Manager is presently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Allocation of Expenses

 

To the extent relevant, Offering Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Operating Expenses, revenue generated from Underlying Assets and any indemnification payments made by the Company will be allocated amongst the various Series in accordance with the Manager’s allocation policy, a copy of which is available to Investors upon written request to the Manager. The allocation policy requires the Manager to allocate items that are allocable to a specific Series to be borne by, or distributed to (as applicable), the applicable Series of Interests.  If, however, an item is not allocable to a specific Series but to the Company in general, it will be allocated pro rata based on the value of Underlying Assets or the number of Underlying Assets, as reasonably determined by the Manager or as otherwise set forth in the allocation policy.

DESCRIPTION OF INTERESTS OFFERED

The following is a summary of the principal terms of, and is qualified by reference to the Operating Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2, and the Subscription Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, relating to the purchase of the applicable Series of Interests.  This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of those agreements, which should be reviewed in their entirety by each prospective Investor.  In the event that the provisions of this summary differ from the provisions of the Operating Agreement or the Subscription Agreement (as applicable), the provisions of the Operating Agreement or the Subscription Agreement (as applicable) shall apply.  Capitalized terms used in this summary that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Operating Agreement.

Description of the Interests

The Company is a series limited liability company formed pursuant to Section 18-215 of the LLC Act.  The purchase of Membership Interests in a Series of the Company is an investment only in that particular Series and not an investment in the Company as a whole.  In accordance with the LLC Act, each Series of Interests is, and any other Series of Interests if issued in the future will be, a separate series of limited liability company Interests of the Company and not in a separate legal entity.  The Company has not issued, and does not intend to issue, any class of any Series of Interests entitled to any preemptive, preferential or other rights that are not otherwise available to the Interest Holders purchasing Interests in connection with any Offering.  

Title to the Underlying Assets will be held by, or for the benefit of, the applicable Series of Interests.  We intend that each Series of Interests will own its own Underlying Asset.  We do not anticipate that any of the Series will acquire any Underlying Assets other than the respective Underlying Assets.  A new Series of Interests will be issued for future Underlying Assets.  An Investor who invests in an Offering will not have any indirect interest in any other Underlying Assets unless the Investor also participates in a separate Offering associated with that other Underlying Asset.

Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act provides that, if certain conditions are met (including that certain provisions are in the formation and governing documents of the series limited liability company, and upon the Closing of an Offering for a Series of Interests, the records maintained for any such Series account for the assets associated with such Series separately from the assets of the limited liability company, or any other Series), then the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable only against the assets of such Series and not against the assets of the limited liability company generally or any other Series.  Accordingly, the Company expects the Manager to maintain separate, distinct records for each Series and its associated assets and liabilities.  As such, the assets of a Series include only the Underlying Asset associated with that Series and other related assets (e.g., cash reserves).  At the time of this filing, the Series highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table have not commenced operations, are not capitalized and have no assets or liabilities and no Series will commence operations, be capitalized or have assets and liabilities until such time as a Closing related to such Series has occurred. As noted in the “Risk Factors” section, the limitations on inter-series liability provided by Section 18-215(b) have never been tested in federal bankruptcy courts and it is possible that a bankruptcy court could determine that the assets of one Series of Interests should be applied to meet the liabilities of the other Series of Interests or the liabilities of the Company generally where the assets of such other Series of Interests or of the Company generally are insufficient to meet the Company’s liabilities.

Section 18-215(c) of the LLC Act provides that a Series of Interests established in accordance with Section 18-215(b) may carry on any lawful business, purpose or activity, other than the business of banking, and has the power and capacity to, in its own name, contract, hold title to assets (including real, personal and intangible property), grant liens and security interests, and sue and be sued.  The Company intends for each Series of Interests to conduct its business and enter into contracts in its own name to the extent such activities are undertaken with respect to a particular Series and title to the relevant Underlying Asset will be held by, or for the benefit of, the relevant Series.

All of the Series of Interests offered by this Offering Circular will be duly authorized and validly issued.  Upon payment in full of the consideration payable with respect to the Series of Interests, as determined by the Manager, the Interest Holders of such Series of Interests will not be liable to the Company to make any additional capital contributions with respect to such Series of Interests (except for the return of distributions under certain


342


circumstances as required by Sections 18-215, 18-607 and 18-804 of the LLC Act).  Holders of Series of Interests have no conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption or appraisal rights, no pre-emptive rights to subscribe for any Interests and no preferential rights to distributions.

In general, the Interest Holders of a particular Series of Interests (which may include the Manager, its affiliates or the Asset Sellers) will participate exclusively in at least 50% of the available Free Cash Flow derived from the Underlying Asset of such Series less expenses (as described in “Distribution rights below).  The Manager, an affiliate of the Company, will own a minimum of 2% of the Interests in each Series acquired for the same price as all other Investors. The Manager has the authority under the Operating Agreement to cause the Company to issue Interests to Investors as well as to other Persons for such cost (or no cost) and on such terms as the Manager may determine, subject to the terms of the Series Designation applicable to such Series of Interests.

The Series described in the Master Series Table will use the proceeds of the respective Offerings to repay any loans taken out or non-interest-bearing payments made by the Manager to acquire their respective Underlying Asset and pay the Asset Sellers pursuant to the respective asset purchase agreements, as well as pay certain fees and expenses related to the acquisition and each Offering (please see the “Use of Proceeds” sections for each Offering for further details). An Investor in an Offering will acquire an ownership Interest in the Series of Interests related to that Offering and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) the Company, (ii) any other Series of Interests, (iii) the Manager, (iv) the Asset Manager, (v) the Platform or (vi) the Underlying Asset associated with the Series or any Underlying Asset owned by any other Series of Interests.

Although our Interests will not immediately be listed on a stock exchange and a liquid market in the Interests cannot be guaranteed, either through the Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information) or otherwise, we plan to create, with the support of registered broker-dealers, mechanisms to provide Investors with the ability to resell Interests, or partner with an existing platform to allow for the resale of the Interests, although the creation of such a market, either through the Liquidity Platform or otherwise, or the timing of such creation cannot be guaranteed (please review additional risks related to liquidity in the Risk Factorssection and “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” section for additional information).

Further issuance of Interests

Only the Series Interests, which are not annotated as closed, in the Master Series Table on are being offered and sold pursuant to this Offering Circular.  The Operating Agreement provides that the Company may issue Interests of each Series of Interests to no more than 2,000 “qualified purchasers” (no more than 500 of which may be non-“accredited investors”). The Manager, in its sole discretion, has the option to issue additional Interests (in addition to those issued in connection with any Offering) on the same terms as the applicable Series of Interests is being offered hereunder as may be required from time to time in order to pay any Operating Expenses related to the applicable Underlying Asset.

Distribution rights

The Manager has sole discretion in determining what distributions of Free Cash Flow, if any, are made to Interest Holders except as otherwise limited by law or the Operating Agreement. The Company expects the Manager to distribute any Free Cash Flow on a semi-annual basis as set forth below.  However, the Manager may change the timing of distributions or determine that no distributions shall be made in its sole discretion.

Any Free Cash Flow generated by a Series of Interests from the utilization of the associated Underlying Asset shall be applied, with respect to such Series, in the following order of priority:

(i)repay any amounts outstanding under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation plus accrued interest, and 

(ii)thereafter, to create such reserves as the Manager deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to meet future Operating Expenses, and 


343


(iii)thereafter, at least 50% (net of corporate income taxes applicable to such Series of Interests) by way of distribution to the Interest Holders of the Series of Interests, which may include the Asset Sellers of the Underlying Asset or the Manager or any of its affiliates, and 

(iv)Up to 50% to the Asset Manager in payment of the Management Fee (treated as an expense on the statement of operations of the Series of Interests for accounting purposes). 

No Series will distribute an Underlying Asset in kind to its Interest Holders.

The LLC Act (Section 18-607) provides that a member who receives a distribution with respect to a Series and knew at the time of the distribution that the distribution was in violation of the LLC Act shall be liable to the Series for the amount of the distribution for three years.  Under the LLC Act, a series limited liability company may not make a distribution with respect to a Series to a member if, after the distribution, all liabilities of such Series, other than liabilities to members on account of their limited liability company interests with respect to such Series and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of such Series, would exceed the fair value of the assets of such Series.  For the purpose of determining the fair value of the assets of the Series, the LLC Act provides that the fair value of property of the Series subject to liability for which recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the assets of such Series only to the extent that the fair value of that property exceeds the nonrecourse liability. Under the LLC Act, an assignee who becomes a substituted member of a company is liable for the obligations of his assignor to make contributions to the company, except the assignee is not obligated for liabilities unknown to it at the time the assignee became a member and that could not be ascertained from the Operating Agreement.

Redemption provisions

The Interests are not redeemable.

Registration rights

There are no registration rights in respect of the Interests.

Voting rights

The Manager is not required to hold an annual meeting of Interest Holders. The Operating Agreement provides that meetings of Interest Holders may be called by the Manager and a designee of the Manager shall act as chairman at such meetings.  The Investor does not have any voting rights as an Interest Holder in the Company or a Series except with respect to:

(i)the removal of the Manager;  

(ii)the dissolution of the Company upon the for-cause removal of the Manager, and  

(iii)an amendment to the Operating Agreement that would: 

a.enlarge the obligations of, or adversely effect, an Interest Holder in any material respect;  

b.reduce the voting percentage required for any action to be taken by the holders of Interests in the Company under the Operating Agreement; 

c.change the situations in which the Company and any Series can be dissolved or terminated; 

d.change the term of the Company (other than the circumstances provided in the Operating Agreement); or 

e.give any person the right to dissolve the Company. 

When entitled to vote on a matter, each Interest Holder will be entitled to one vote per Interest held by it on all matters submitted to a vote of the Interest Holders of an applicable Series or of the Interest Holders of all Series of the Company, as applicable.  The removal of the Manager as Manager of the Company and all Series of Interests must be approved by two-thirds of the votes that may be cast by all Interest Holders in any Series of the Company. All other matters to be voted on by the Interest Holders must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by all Interest Holders in any Series of the Company present in person or represented by proxy.


344


The consent of the holders of a majority of the Interests of a Series is required for any amendment to the Operating Agreement that would adversely change the rights of such Series of Interests, result in mergers, consolidations or conversions of such Series of Interests and for any other matter as the Manager, in its sole discretion, determines will require the approval of the holders of the Interests voting as a separate class.

The Manager or its affiliates (if they hold Series of Interests) may not vote as an Interest Holder in respect of any matter put to the Interest Holders.  However, the submission of any action of the Company or a Series for a vote of the Interest Holders shall first be approved by the Manager and no amendment to the Operating Agreement may be made without the prior approval of the Manager that would decrease the rights of the Manager or increase the obligations of the Manager thereunder.

The Manager has broad authority to take action with respect to the Company and any Series.  See “Management” for more information.  Except as set forth above, the Manager may amend the Operating Agreement without the approval of the Interest Holders to, among other things, reflect the following:

·the merger of the Company, or the conveyance of all of the assets to, a newly-formed entity if the sole purpose of that merger or conveyance is to effect a mere change in the legal form into another limited liability entity; 

a change that the Manager determines to be necessary or appropriate to implement any state or federal statute, rule, guidance or opinion;   

a change that the Manager determines to be necessary, desirable or appropriate to facilitate the trading of Interests;  

·a change that the Manager determines to be necessary or appropriate for the Company to qualify as a limited liability company under the laws of any state or to ensure that each Series will continue to qualify as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; 

·an amendment that the Manager determines, based upon the advice of counsel, to be necessary or appropriate to prevent the Company, the Manager, or the officers, agents or trustees from in any manner being subjected to the provisions of the Investment Company Act, the Investment Advisers Act or “plan asset” regulations adopted under ERISA, whether or not substantially similar to plan asset regulations currently applied or proposed; 

·any amendment that the Manager determines to be necessary or appropriate for the authorization, establishment, creation or issuance of any additional Series; 

·an amendment effected, necessitated or contemplated by a merger agreement that has been approved under the terms of the Operating Agreement; 

·any amendment that the Manager determines to be necessary or appropriate for the formation by the Company of, or its investment in, any corporation, partnership or other entity, as otherwise permitted by the Operating Agreement; 

·a change in the fiscal year or taxable year and related changes; and 

·any other amendments which the Manager deems necessary or appropriate to enable the Manager to exercise its authority under the Agreement.  

 

In each case, the Manager may make such amendments to the Operating Agreement provided the Manager determines that those amendments:

·do not adversely affect the Interest Holders (including any particular Series of Interests as compared to other Series of Interests) in any material respect; 

·are necessary or appropriate to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or judicial authority or contained in any federal or state statute; 

·are necessary or appropriate to facilitate the trading of Interests, either through the Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information) or otherwise, or to comply with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any securities exchange on which the Interests may be listed for trading, compliance with any of which the Manager deems to be in the best interests of the Company and the Interest Holders; 

·are necessary or appropriate for any action taken by the Manager relating to splits or combinations of Interests under the provisions of the Operating Agreement; or 


345


·are required to effect the intent expressed in this prospectus or the intent of the provisions of the Operating Agreement or are otherwise contemplated by the Operating Agreement. 

Furthermore, the Manager retains sole discretion to create and set the terms of any new Series and will have the sole power to acquire, manage and dispose of Underlying Asset of each Series.

Liquidation rights

 

The Operating Agreement provides that the Company shall remain in existence until the earlier of the following: (i) the election of the Manager to dissolve it; (ii) the sale, exchange or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company; (iv) at any time that the Company no longer has any members, unless the business is continued in accordance with the LLC Act; and (v) a vote by a majority of all Interest Holders of the Company following the for-cause removal of the Manager.  Under no circumstances may the Company be wound up in accordance with Section 18-801(a)(3) of the LLC Act (i.e., the vote of members who hold more than two-thirds of the Interests in the profits of the Company).

A Series shall remain in existence until the earlier of the following: (i) the dissolution of the Company, (ii) the election of the Manager to dissolve such Series; (iii) the sale, exchange or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Series; or (iv) at any time that the Series no longer has any members, unless the business is continued in accordance with the LLC Act.  Under no circumstances may a Series of Interests be wound up in accordance with Section 18-801(a)(3) of the LLC Act (i.e., the vote of members holding more than two-thirds of the Interests in the profits of the Series of Interests).

Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Manager (or a liquidator selected by the Manager) is charged with winding up the affairs of the Series of Interests or the Company as a whole, as applicable, and liquidating its assets. Upon the liquidation of a Series of Interests or the Company as a whole, as applicable, the Underlying Assets will be liquidated and any after-tax proceeds distributed: (i) first, to any third party creditors, (ii) second, to any creditors that are the Manager or its affiliates (e.g., payment of any outstanding Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation), and thereafter, (iii) to the Interest Holders of the relevant Series of Interests, allocated pro rata based on the number of Interests held by each Interest Holder (which may include the Manager, any of its affiliates and the Asset Seller and which distribution within a Series will be made consistent with any preferences which exist within such Series).  

Transfer restrictions

The Interests are subject to restrictions on transferability. An Interest Holder may not transfer, assign or pledge its Interests without the consent of the Manager.  The Manager may withhold consent in its sole discretion, including when the Manager determines that such transfer, assignment or pledge would result in (a) there being more than 2,000 beneficial owners of the Series or more than 500 beneficial owners of the Series that are not “accredited investors”, (b) the assets of the Series being deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, (c) such Interest Holder holding in excess of 19.9% of the Series, (d) result in a change of US federal income tax treatment of the Company and the Series, or (e) the Company, the Series or the Manager being subject to additional regulatory requirements. The transferring Interest Holder is responsible for all costs and expenses arising in connection with any proposed transfer (regardless of whether such sale is completed) including any legal fees incurred by the Company or any broker or dealer, any costs or expenses in connection with any opinion of counsel and any transfer taxes and filing fees.  The Manager or its affiliates will acquire Interests in each Series of Interests for their own accounts and may, from time to time and only in accordance with applicable securities laws (which may include filing an amendment to this Offering Circular), transfer these Interests, either directly or through brokers, via the Platform or otherwise. The restrictions on transferability listed above will also apply to any resale of Interests via the Platform through one or more third-party broker-dealers (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information).

Additionally, unless and until the Interests of the Company are listed or quoted for trading, there are restrictions on the holder’s ability to the pledge or transfer the Interests.  There can be no assurance that we will, or will be able to, register the Interests for resale and there can be no guarantee that a liquid market for the Interest will develop as part of the Liquidity Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional


346


information). Therefore, Investors may be required to hold their Interests indefinitely. Please refer to Exhibit 2.2 (the Operating Agreement) and Exhibit 4.1 (the form of Subscription Agreement) for additional information regarding these restrictions.  To the extent certificated, the Interests issued in each Offering, to the extent certificated, will bear a legend setting forth these restrictions on transfer and any legends required by state securities laws.

Agreement to be bound by the Operating Agreement; power of attorney

By purchasing Interests, the Investor will be admitted as a member of the Company and will be bound by the provisions of, and deemed to be a party to, the Operating Agreement.  Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, each Investor grants to the Manager a power of attorney to, among other things, execute and file documents required for the Company’s qualification, continuance or dissolution. The power of attorney also grants the Manager the authority to make certain amendments to, and to execute and deliver such other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions or purposes of, the Operating Agreement.

Duties of officers

The Operating Agreement provides that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Operating Agreement, the property, affairs and business of each Series of Interests will be managed under the direction of the Manager.  The Manager has the power to appoint the officers and such officers have the authority and exercise the powers and perform the duties specified in the Operating Agreement or as may be specified by the Manager. The Manager intends to appoint RSE Markets as the Asset Manager of each Series of Interests to manage the Underlying Assets.

The Company may decide to enter into separate indemnification agreements with the directors and officers of the Company, the Manager or the Asset Manager (including if the Asset Manager appointed is not RSE Markets).  If entered into, each indemnification agreement is likely to provide, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Operating Agreement against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim.  The indemnification agreements may also provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to the Company if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and the Operating Agreement.

Exclusive jurisdiction; waiver of jury trial

Any dispute in relation to the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, except where Federal law requires that certain claims be brought in Federal courts, as in the case of claims brought under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.   Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provisions in the Operating Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.  Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provisions in the Operating Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction, and Investors will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Each Investor will covenant and agree not to bring any claim in any venue other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if required by Federal law, a Federal court of the United States. If an Interest Holder were to bring a claim against the Company or the Manager pursuant to the Operating Agreement and such claim was governed by state law, it would have to do so in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

 

Our Operating Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to limited exceptions, provides for Investors to consent to exclusive jurisdiction to Delaware Court of Chancery and for a waiver of the right to a trial by jury, if such waiver is allowed by the court where the claim is brought.

 

If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable under the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.  See “Risk


347


Factors—Risks Related of Ownership of Our Interests--Any dispute in relation to the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, except where Federal law requires that certain claims be brought in Federal courts.  Our Operating Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, provides for Investors to waive their right to a jury trial”.  Nevertheless, if this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the Operating Agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the Operating Agreement or our Interests serves as a waiver by any Investor or beneficial owner of our Interests or by us of compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Additionally, the Company does not believe that claims under the federal securities laws shall be subject to the jury trial waiver provision, and the Company believes that the provision does not impact the rights of any Investor or beneficial owner of our Interests to bring claims under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

These provisions may have the effect of limiting the ability of Investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations and may limit an Investor’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us. Furthermore, waiver of a trial by jury may disadvantage you to the extent a judge might be less likely than a jury to resolve an action in your favor. Further, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, an action or proceeding against us, then we may incur additional costs associated with resolving these matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Interests to United States holders but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any United States state or local or any non-United States jurisdiction or under United States federal gift and estate tax laws. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to an Investor’s particular circumstances or to Investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

(i)banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions; 

(ii)persons subject to the alternative minimum tax; 

(iii)tax-exempt organizations; 

(iv)dealers in securities or currencies; 

(v)traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; 

(vi)persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our Interests (except to the extent specifically set forth below); 

(vii)certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; 

(viii)persons who hold our Interests as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; 

(ix)persons who do not hold our Interests as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, for investment purposes); or 

(x)persons deemed to sell our Interests under the constructive sale provisions of the Code. 

In addition, if a partnership, including any entity or arrangement, domestic or foreign, classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, holds Interests, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold Interests, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted H.R. 1, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act includes significant changes to the Code affecting the Company and its Interest Holders.  Most of the changes applicable to individuals are temporary and, without further legislation, will not apply after 2025. The interpretation of the Tax Act by the IRS and the courts remains uncertain in many respects; prospective investors should consult their tax advisors specifically regarding the potential impact of the Tax Act on their investment.

 

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the United States federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Interests arising under the United States federal estate or gift tax rules or under the laws of any United States state or local or any foreign taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

A “U.S. Holder” includes a beneficial owner of the Interests that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual citizen or resident of the United States.

Taxation of each Series of Interests as a “C” Corporation

The Company, although formed as a Delaware series limited liability company eligible for tax treatment as a “partnership,” has affirmatively elected for each Series of Interests, including the Series listed in the Master Series Table to be taxed as a “C” corporation under Subchapter C of the Code for all federal and state tax purposes. Thus, each Series of Interests will be taxed at regular corporate rates on its income before making any distributions to Interest Holders as described below.


349


Taxation of Distributions to Investors

Distributions to U.S. Holders out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will be taxable as dividends. A U.S. Holder who receives a distribution constituting “qualified dividend income” may be eligible for reduced federal income tax rates. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the characterization of corporate distributions as “qualified dividend income”. Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to a U.S. Holder to the extent that the distributions do not exceed the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s Interests. Rather, such distributions will reduce the adjusted basis of such U.S. Holder’s Interests. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits that exceed the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in its Interests will be taxable as capital gain in the amount of such excess if the Interests are held as a capital asset. In addition, Section 1411 of the Code imposes a 3.8% tax on certain investment income (the “3.8% NIIT”). In general, in the case of an individual, this tax is equal to 3.8% of the lesser of (i) the taxpayer’s “net investment income” or (ii) the excess of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income over the applicable threshold amount ($250,000 for taxpayers filing a joint return, $125,000 for married individuals filing separate returns and $200,000 for other taxpayers). In the case of an estate or trust, the 3.8% tax will be imposed on the lesser of (x) the undistributed net investment income of the estate or trust for the taxable year, or (y) the excess of the adjusted gross income of the estate or trust for such taxable year over a beginning dollar amount of the highest tax bracket for such year (for 2020, that amount is $12,950).

Taxation of Dispositions of Interests

Upon any taxable sale or other disposition of our Interests, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the disposition in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on such disposition; and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Interests. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Interests generally equals his or her initial amount paid for the Interests and decreased by the amount of any distributions to the Investor in excess of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. In computing gain or loss, the proceeds that U.S. Holders receive will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received for their Interests, and the amount of any actual or deemed relief from indebtedness encumbering their Interests. The gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Interests are held for more than one year before disposition. Long-term capital gains of individuals, estates and trusts currently are taxed at a maximum rate of 20% (plus any applicable state income taxes) plus the 3.8% NIIT. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitation and depends on the circumstances of a particular U.S. Holder; the effect of such limitation may be to defer or to eliminate any tax benefit that might otherwise be available from a loss on a disposition of the Interests. Capital losses are first deducted against capital gains, and, in the case of non-corporate taxpayers, any remaining such losses are deductible against salaries or other income from services or income from portfolio investments only to the extent of $3,000 per year.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, the Company must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to you, your name and address, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to you.

Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of the Interests made to you may be subject to additional information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 28% unless you establish an exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that you are a United States person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the United States income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

The preceding discussion of United States federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice. Each prospective Investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular United States federal, state and local and foreign tax consequences, if applicable, of purchasing, holding and disposing of our Interests, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Members of

RSE Archive, LLC

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RSE Archive, LLC (the "Company") in total and for each listed Series as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members' equity, and cash flows for the Company in total and for each listed Series for the period from January 3, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").  In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and each listed Series as of December 31, 2019, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the Company and each listed Series for the period from January 3, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company and each listed Series will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Company's and each listed Series’ lack of liquidity raises substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note A.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's and each listed Series’ financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company and each listed Series in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.  The Company and each listed Series is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's or each listed Series internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

RSE Archive, LLC (the “Company”) is a Delaware series limited liability company formed on January 3, 2019.  RSE Archive Manager, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company formed on March 27, 2019 and owned by RSE Markets, Inc., is the manager of the Company (the “Manager”). RSE Markets, Inc. serves as the asset manager for the collection of collectible memorabilia owned by the Company and each series (the “Asset Manager”). The Company was formed to engage in the business of acquiring and managing a collection of collectible memorabilia (the “Underlying Assets”). The Company has created, and it is expected that the Company will continue to create, separate series of interests (each, a “Series” or “Series of Interests”), that each Underlying Asset will be owned by a separate Series and that the assets and liabilities of each Series will be separate in accordance with Delaware law. Investors acquire membership interests (the “Interests”) in each Series and will be entitled to share in the return of that particular Series but will not be entitled to share in the return of any other Series.

 

The Asset Manager is a Delaware corporation formed on April 28, 2016. The Asset Manager is a technology and marketing company that operates the Rally Rd. platform (the “Platform") and manages the Company, through the Manager, and the assets owned by the Company in its roles as the Asset Manager of each Series. The Asset Manager is the owner of the Manager.

 

The Company intends to sell Interests in a number of separate individual Series of the Company. Investors in any Series acquire a proportional share of income and liabilities as they pertain to a particular Series, and the sole assets and liabilities of any given Series at the time of the closing of an offering related to that particular Series are a single collectible memorabilia (plus any cash reserves for future operating expenses), as well as certain liabilities related to expenses pre-paid by the Asset Manager.  

 

All voting rights, except as specified in the operating agreement or required by law, remain with the Manager (e.g., determining the type and quantity of general maintenance and other expenses required for the appropriate upkeep of each Underlying Asset, determining how to best commercialize the applicable Underlying Assets, evaluating potential sale offers and the liquidation of a Series). The Manager manages the ongoing operations of each Series in accordance with the operating agreement of the Company, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Operating Agreement”).

 

OPERATING AGREEMENT

 

General:

In accordance with the Operating Agreement each Interest holder in a Series grants a power of attorney to the Manager. The Manager has the right to appoint officers of the Company and each Series.

 

Operating Expenses:

After the closing of an offering, each Series is responsible for its own “Operating Expenses” (as defined in Note B(5)). Prior to the closing, Operating Expenses are borne by the Manager or the Asset Manager and not reimbursed by the economic members of a particular Series. Should post-closing Operating Expenses exceed revenues or cash reserves, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the Series and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the Series (“Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation(s)”), on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a rate of interest, and/or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in order to cover such additional amounts, which Interests may be issued to existing or new investors, and may include the Manager or its affiliates or the Asset Manager.

 

Fees:

Sourcing Fee: The Manager expects to receive a fee at the closing of each successful offering for its services of sourcing the collectible memorabilia (the “Sourcing Fee”), which may be waived by the Manager in its sole discretion.

 

Brokerage Fee:  For all Series qualified up to the date of this filing the broker of record received a fee (the “Brokerage Fee”) of 1.0% of the cash from offering for facilitating the sale of securities.


F-13


RSE ARCHIVE, LLC

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

 

Custody Fee: For all Series qualified up to the date of this filing the custody broker received a fee (the “Custody Fee”) of 0.75% of the cash from offering for facilitating the sale of securities.  

 

Free Cash Flow Distributions:

At the discretion of the Manager, a Series may make distributions of “Free Cash Flow” (as defined in Note F) to both the holders of economic Interests in the form of a dividend and the Manager in the form of a management fee.

 

In the case that Free Cash Flow is available and such distributions are made, at the sole discretion of the Manager, the members will receive no less than 50% of Free Cash Flow and the Manager will receive up to 50% of Free Cash Flow in the form of a management fee for management of the applicable Underlying Asset. The management fee is accounted for as an expense to the relevant Series rather than a distribution from Free Cash Flow.

 

Other:

The Manager is responsible for covering its own expenses.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Neither the Company nor any of the Series has generated revenues or profits since inception.

 

On a total consolidated basis, the Company had sustained a net loss of $(8,041) for the period from January 3, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and had an accumulated deficit of $(8,041) as of December 31, 2019.

 

All of the liabilities on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 are obligations to third-parties or the Manager. All of these liabilities, other than ones for which the Manager does not seek reimbursement, will be covered through the proceeds of future offerings for the various Series of Interests. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has negative working capital of approximately $(0.6) million. If the Company does not continue to obtain financing from the Manager, it will be unable to repay these obligations as they come due.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s and each listed Series’ ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of this filing.

 

Through December 31, 2019, none of the Company or any Series have recorded any directly attributable revenues through the utilization of Underlying Assets. Management’s plans include anticipating that it will commence commercializing the collection in 2021. Each Series will continue to incur Operating Expenses including, but not limited to storage, insurance, transportation and maintenance expenses, on an ongoing basis. As part of the commercialization of the collection, the Manager opened a showroom in early 2019, in New York City and launched its online shopping experience for merchandise in the third quarter of 2019. No revenues directly attributable to the Company or any Series have been generated through the showroom or the online shop as of December 31, 2019.

The cash on the books of RSE Archive is reserved to funding future pre-closing Operating Expenses or “Acquisition Expenses” (see Note B(6) for definition and additional details), as the case may be. The cash on the books of each Series is reserved for funding of post-closing Operating Expenses. During the period from January 3, 2019 to December 31, 2019, the Manager has paid for certain but not all Operating Expenses related to any of the Series that have had closed offerings and has elected not to be reimbursed. These payments made by the Manager are accounted for as capital contributions, amounting to a total of $7,644.

 

From inception, the Company and the Series have financed their business activities through capital contributions from the Manager or its affiliates to the individual Series. Until such time as the Series’ have the capacity to generate cash flows from operations, the Manager may cover any deficits through additional capital contributions or the issuance of additional Interests in any individual Series. In addition, parts of the proceeds of future offerings may be used to create reserves for future Operating Expenses for individual Series, as has been the case for the majority of the Series for which closings have occurred, listed in the table above, at the sole discretion of the Manager. If the Manager does not continue to fund future operating expenses of the Company and the Series, the Company’s ability to continue future operations may be limited. There is no assurance that financing from the Manager will remain available or that the Manager will provide the Company or any Series with sufficient capital to meet its objectives.

 

INITIAL OFFERINGS

 

The Company has completed several initial offerings since its inception in 2019 and plans to continue to increase the number of initial offerings going forward. The table below outlines all offerings for which a closing has occurred as of December 31, 2019. All Series, for which a closing had occurred as of the date of the financial statements, had commenced operations, were capitalized and had assets and various Series have liabilities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

 

ASSET DISPOSITIONS

 

From time to time, the Company receives unsolicited take-over offers for the Underlying Assets. Per the terms of the Company’s Operating Agreement, the Company, together with the Company’s advisory board evaluates the offers and determines that if, on a case by case basis, it is in the interest of the Investors to sell the Underlying Asset. In certain instances,  the Company may decide to sell an Underlying Asset, that is on the books of the Company, but not yet transferred to a particular Series, because no offering has yet occurred. In these instances, the anticipated offering related to such Underlying Asset will be cancelled.

 

For the period ended December 31, 2019, no asset dispositions had been executed.

 

Please see Note I, Subsequent Events for additional details on closings of initial offerings or asset dispositions after December 31, 2019.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

1.Basis of Presentation 

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

All offerings that had closed as of the date of the financial statements were issued under Tier 2 of Regulation A+ and qualified under the Company’s offering circular (as amended). Separate financial statements are presented for each such Series.

 

2.Use of Estimates: 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near-term due to one or more future confirming events.  Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

 

3.Cash and Cash Equivalents: 

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, or otherwise acquired, to be cash equivalents.

 

4.Offering Expenses: 

 

Offering expenses related to the offering for a specific Series consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, escrow, compliance, filing and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to a proposed offering and will generally be charged to members' equity upon the completion of the proposed offering. Offering expenses that are incurred prior to the closing of an offering for such Series, that are funded by the Manager and will generally be reimbursed through the proceeds of the offering related to the Series. However, the Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for offering expenses incurred with respect to the offerings for all Series that have had a closing as of the date of the financial statements and potentially other future offerings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

In addition to the discrete offering expenses related to a particular Series’ offering, the Manager has also incurred legal, accounting, user compliance expenses and other offering related expenses during the period ended December 31, 2019 in order to set up the legal and financial framework and compliance infrastructure for the marketing and sale of offerings. The Manager treats these expenses as operating expenses related to the Manager’s business and will not be reimbursed for these through any activities or offerings related to the Company or any of the Series.

 

5.Operating Expenses: 

 

Operating Expenses related to a particular memorabilia include storage, insurance, transportation (other than the initial transportation from the memorabilia location to the Manager’s storage facility prior to the offering, which is treated as an “Acquisition Expense”, as defined in Note B(6)), maintenance, professional fees such as annual audit and legal expenses and other memorabilia specific expenses as detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy, together the “Operating Expenses”.  We distinguish between pre-closing and post-closing Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses are expensed as incurred.

 

Except as disclosed with respect to any future offering, expenses of this nature that are incurred prior to the closing of an offering of Series of Interests, are funded by the Manager and are not reimbursed by the Company, the Series or economic members. Expenses in this case are treated as capital contributions from the Manager to the Company and totaled $7,644 for the period ended December 31, 2019.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2019, RSE Archive incurred pre-closing Operating expenses and the following Series had closed Offerings and incurred post-closing Operating Expenses per the table below:

Solely in the case of the Series with closed offerings listed in the table above, the Manager has elected that certain, but not all of the post-closing Operating Expenses for the period from January 3, 2019 to December 31, 2019 will be borne by the Manager and not reimbursed and are accounted for as capital contributions by the Manager for each of the Series.

6.Capital Assets: 

 

Memorabilia assets are recorded at cost. The cost of the memorabilia includes the purchase price, including any deposits for the memorabilia funded by the Manager and “Acquisition Expenses,” which include transportation of the memorabilia to the Manager’s storage facility, pre-purchase inspection, pre-offering refurbishment, and other costs detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy.

 

The Company treats memorabilia assets as collectible and therefore the Company will not depreciate or amortize the collectible memorabilia assets going forward. The collectible memorabilia are considered long-lived assets and will be subject to an annual test for impairment. These long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

The collectible memorabilia assets are initially purchased by the Company, either prior to launching an offering or through the exercising of a purchase option simultaneous with the closing of an offering for a particular Series. At closing of an offering for a Series of Interests the collectible memorabilia assets, including capitalized Acquisition Expenses, are then transferred to the Series. Assets are transferred at cost and the Company receives cash from the Series from the proceeds of the offering. The Company uses the proceeds of the transfer to pay off any debt or amounts owed under purchase options and Acquisition Expenses. Acquisition Expenses are typically paid for in advance by the Manager, except in the case of Acquisition Expenses that are anticipated, but might not be incurred until after a closing, such as registration fees or fees related to the transportation of an Underlying Asset from the seller to the Company’s warehouse and are thus only capitalized into the cost of the acquired memorabilia after the Underlying Asset has already been transferred to the Series. The Series uses the remaining cash to repay any accrued interest on loans or marketing expenses related to the preparation of the marketing materials for a particular offering, by distributing the applicable amount to the Company, accounted for as “Distribution to RSE Archive” on the balance sheet. Furthermore, the Series distributes the appropriate amounts for Brokerage Fee, the Custody Fee and, if applicable, the Sourcing Fee using cash from the offering. In case of a closing at a loss, the Manager will make an additional capital contribution to the Series to cover any losses, which is represented as “Distribution to Series” on the balance sheet. Any remaining cash on the balance sheet of the Series after distributions have been made is retained for payment of future operating expenses.

 

The Company, through non-interest-bearing payments from the Manager or loans from officers of the Manager and third-parties invested in memorabilia assets. For the period from January 3, 2019 to December 31, 2019, the total investment in memorabilia assets was $1,584,178.

RSE ARCHIVE, LLC

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Of the $1,584,178 of investments during the period ended December 31, 2019, $1,578,478 were related to the purchase price of, or down payments on Underlying Assets, excluding $0 related to the Underlying Assets sold. This brings the total spent on purchase price and down-payments at December 31, 2019 to $1,578,478, since the inception of the Company on January 3, 2019.

 

Acquisition Expenses related to a particular Series, that are incurred prior to the closing of an offering, are initially funded by the Manager but will be reimbursed with the proceeds from an offering related to such Series, to the extent described in the applicable offering document. Unless, to the extent that certain Acquisition Expenses are anticipated prior to the closing, but incurred after the closing of an offering, for example transportation costs to transport the asset from the seller to the Company’s facility, in which case, additional cash from the proceeds of the offering will be retained on the Series balance sheet to cover such future anticipated Acquisition Expenses after the closing of the offering. Acquisition Expenses are capitalized into the cost of the memorabilia as per the table below. Should a proposed offering prove to be unsuccessful, the Company will not reimburse the Manager and these expenses will be accounted for as capital contributions, and the Acquisition Expenses will be expensed.

 

For the period ended December 31, 2019, $5,700 of Acquisition Expenses related to the registration, transportation, inspection, repair of collectible memorabilia and other acquisition related expenses were incurred, excluding $0 related to Underlying Assets sold.

 

The total investment in memorabilia assets as of December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

 

7.Members’ Equity: 

 

Members’ equity for the Company and any Series consists of capital contributions from the Manager, or its affiliates, Membership Contributions and the Net Income / (Loss) for the period.

 

Capital contributions from the Manager are made to cover Operating Expenses (as described in Note B(5) above), such as storage, insurance, transportation and ongoing accounting and legal expenses incurred by the Company or any of the Series, for which the Manager has elected not to be reimbursed.

 

Members’ equity in Membership Contributions issued in a successful closing of an offering for a particular Series are calculated by taking the amount of membership Interests sold in an offering, net of Brokerage Fee, Custody Fee and Sourcing Fee as shown in the table below. In the case of a particular offering, the Brokerage Fee, the Custody Fee and Sourcing Fee (which may be waived by the Manager) related to the offering are paid from the proceeds of any successfully closed offering. These expenses will not be incurred by the Company or the applicable Series or the Manager, if an offering does not close. At December 31, 2019, the following offerings for Series Interests had closed:

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

8.Income taxes: 

 

Each existing Series has elected and qualified, and the Company intends that each future Series will elect and qualify, to be taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  Each separate Series intends to be accounted for as described in ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. There were no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019.

 

RSE Archive, LLC, as the master series of the Company and RSE Archive Manager, LLC, the Manager of the Company, intend to be taxed as a “partnership” or a “disregarded entity” for federal income tax purposes and will not make any election or take any action that could cause it to be separately treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code.

 

9.Earnings (loss) / income per membership interest: 

 

Upon completion of an offering, each Series intends to comply with accounting and disclosure requirement of ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share." For each Series, earnings (loss) / income per membership interest (“EPMI”) will be computed by dividing net (loss) / income for a particular Series by the weighted average number of outstanding membership Interests in that particular Series during the period.

 

As of the period ended December 31, 2019, the following Series had closed offerings and the (losses) / income per membership Interest as per the table below:

NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Series Members

The managing member of the Company is the Manager. The Company will admit additional members to each of its Series through the offerings of membership Interests in each Series. By purchasing an Interest in a Series of Interests, the investor is admitted as a member of the Series and will be bound by the Company's Operating Agreement. Under the Operating Agreement, each investor grants a power of attorney to the Manager. The Operating Agreement provides the Manager with the ability to appoint officers and advisory board members.

 

Officer and Affiliate Loans

From time to time, individual officers and affiliates of the Manager may make loans to the Company to facilitate the purchase of memorabilia assets prior to the closing of a Series’ offering.  It is anticipated that each of the loans and related interest will be paid by the Company through proceeds of the offering associated with a Series. Once the Series repays the Company and other parties, such as the Manager, the broker of record and the custody broker and their respective affiliates, from the proceeds of a closed offering, the memorabilia would then transferred to the related Series and it is anticipated that no Series will bear the economic effects of any loan made to purchase another memorabilia assets.

 

As of December 31, 2019, no loans were outstanding to either officers or affiliates of the Manager.

NOTE D –DEBT

 

On April 30, 2019, the Asset Manager and the Company, including an affiliate of the Asset Manager, entered into a $1.5 million revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. The LoC allowed the Asset Manager to draw up to 80% of the value of an Underlying Assets for any asset held on the books of the Company for less than 180 days. Interest rate on any amounts outstanding under the LoC accrued at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 0.50% above the Prime Rate (defined as the rate published in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal) or (ii) 6.0%. Interest expense is paid monthly by the Asset Manager. The Company was also held jointly and severably liable for any amounts outstanding under this LoC. On December 20, 2019, the Asset Manager and the Company cancelled the LoC and the Asset Manager repaid $220,000 outstanding under the LoC plus accrued interest of $1,100.

 

Simultaneous with the cancellation of the LoC, the Asset Manager and the Company, including an affiliate of the Asset Manager, entered into a $2.25 million demand note (the “DM”) with Upper90. The DM allows the Asset Manager to draw up to 100% of the value of the Underlying Assets for any asset held on the books of the Company. Interest rate on any amounts outstanding under the DM accrues at a fixed per annum rate of 15%. The Company is also held jointly and severably liable for any amounts outstanding under this DM. It is anticipated that the Asset Manager will replace the DM with a more permanent piece of debt from Upper90 at essentially the same terms sometime in the second quarter of 2020.

 

As of December 31, 2019, $1,560,000 debt plus $7,800 of accrued interest was outstanding under the DM. Of the $1,560,000 outstanding, $565,000 were related to memorabilia assets and the remainder to assets of the affiliate of the Asset Manager, per the table below:

NOTE E - REVENUE, EXPENSE AND COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY

 

Overview of Revenues

As of December 31, 2019, we have not yet generated any revenues directly attributable to the Company or any Series to date.  In addition, we do not anticipate the Company or any Series to generate any revenue in excess of costs associated with such revenues until 2021. In early 2019, the Manager of the Company launched its first showroom in New York City and in mid-2019 launched an online shopping experience for merchandise In future, the Manager of the Company plans to roll out additional opportunities for revenue generation including additional showrooms.

 

Overview of Costs and Expenses

The Company distinguishes costs and expenses between those related to the purchase of a particular memorabilia asset and Operating Expenses related to the management of such memorabilia assets.

 

Fees and expenses related to the purchase of an underlying memorabilia asset include Offering Expenses, Acquisition Expenses Brokerage Fee, Custody Fee and Sourcing Fee.

 

Within Operating Expenses, the Company distinguishes between Operating Expenses incurred prior to the closing of an offering and those incurred after the closing of an offering. Although these pre- and post- closing Operating Expenses are similar in nature and consist of expenses such as storage, insurance, transportation, marketing and maintenance and professional fees such as ongoing bookkeeping, legal and accounting expenses associated with a Series, pre-closing Operating Expenses are borne by the Manager and are not expected to be reimbursed by the Company or the economic members. Post-closing Operating Expenses are the responsibility of each Series of Interest and may be financed through (i) revenues generated by the Series or cash reserves at the Series or (ii) contributions made by the Manager, for which the Manager does not seek reimbursement or (iii) loans by the Manager, for which the Manager may charge a rate of interest or (iv) issuance of additional Interest in a Series (at the discretion of the Manager).

 

Allocation Methodology

Allocation of revenues and expenses and costs will be made amongst the various Series in accordance with the Manager's allocation policy. The Manager's allocation policy requires items that are related to a specific Series to be charged to that specific Series. Items not related to a specific Series will be allocated pro rata based upon the value of the underlying memorabilia assets or the number of memorabilia, as stated in the Manager’s allocation policy and as determined by the Manager. The Manager may amend its allocation policy in its sole discretion from time to time.

NOTE E - REVENUE, EXPENSE AND COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY (CONTINUED)

 

Allocation Methodology or Description by Category

Revenue: Revenues from the anticipated commercialization of the collection of memorabilia will be allocated amongst the Series whose underlying memorabilia are part of the commercialization events, based on the value of the underlying memorabilia assets. No revenues attributable directly to the Company or any Series have been generated during the period from January 3, 2019 to December 31, 2019.  

Offering Expenses: Offering Expenses, other than those related to the overall business of the Manager (as described in Note B(4)) are funded by the Manager and generally reimbursed through the Series proceeds upon the closing of an offering. Offering Expenses are charged to a specific Series. 

Acquisition Expenses: Acquisition Expenses (as described in Note B(6)), are typically funded by the Manager, and reimbursed from the Series proceeds upon the closing of an offering. Unless, to the extent that certain Acquisition Expenses are anticipated prior to the closing, but incurred after the closing of an offering, for example registration fees, in which case, additional cash from the proceeds of the offering will be retained on the Series balance sheet to cover such future anticipated Acquisition Expenses after the closing of the offering. Acquisition Expenses incurred are capitalized into the cost of the Underlying Asset on the balance sheet of the Company and subsequently transferred to the Series upon closing of the offering for the Series Interests.  

Sourcing Fee / Losses: The Sourcing Fee is paid to the Manager from the Series proceeds upon the close of an offering (see note B(7)) and is charged to the specific Series. Losses incurred related to closed offerings, due to shortfalls between proceeds from closed offerings and costs incurred in relation to these offerings are charged to the specific Series but are reimbursed by the Manager and accounted for as capital contributions to the Series (as described in Note B(6)).  

Brokerage Fee: The Brokerage Fee is paid to the broker of record from the Series proceeds upon the closing of an offering (see note B(7)) and is charged to the specific Series.  

Custody Fee: The Custody Fee is paid to the custody broker from the Series proceeds upon the closing of an offering (see note B(7)) and is charged to the specific Series.  

Operating Expenses: Operating Expenses (as described in Note B(5)), including storage, insurance, maintenance costs and other Series related Operating Expenses, are expensed as incurred: 

oPre-closing Operating Expenses are borne by the Manager and accounted for as capital contributions from the Manager to the Company and are not reimbursed.  

oPost-closing Operating Expenses are the responsibility of each individual Series.  

oIf not directly charged to the Company or a Series, Operating Expenses are allocated as follows:  

Insurance: based on the premium rate allocated by value of the Underlying Assets 

Storage: based on the number of Underlying Assets

NOTE F – FREE CASH FLOW DISTRIBUTIONS AND MANAGEMENT FEES

 

Any available Free Cash Flow of a Series of Interests shall be applied in the following order of priority, at the discretion of the Manager:

 

i)Repayment of any amounts outstanding under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations. 

ii)Thereafter, reserves may be created to meet future Operating Expenses for a particular Series. 

iii)Thereafter, at least 50% of Free Cash Flow (net of corporate income taxes applicable to such Series of Interests) may be distributed as dividends to interest holders of a particular Series. 

iv)The Manager may receive up to 50% of Free Cash Flow in the form of a management fee, which is accounted for as an expense to the statement of operations of a particular Series. 

 

“Free Cash Flow” is defined as net income (as determined under GAAP) generated by any Series of Interests plus any change in net working capital and depreciation and amortization (and any other non-cash Operating Expenses) and less any capital expenditures related to the relevant Series.

 

As of December 31, 2019, no distributions of Free Cash Flow or management fees were paid by the Company or in respect of any Series.

NOTE G – INCOME TAX

 

As of December 31, 2019, each individual Series has elected to be treated as a corporation for tax purposes.

 

No provision for income taxes for the period from January 3, 2019 to December 31, 2019 has been recorded for any individual Series as all individual Series incurred net losses.  Each individual Series records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets primarily resulting from net operating losses will not be realized.  The Company’s net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019 are fully offset by a valuation allowance, and therefore, no tax benefit applicable to the loss for each individual Series for the years ended December 31, 2019 has been recognized. Losses incurred after January 1, 2019 do not expire for federal income tax purposes.

 

Reconciliation of the benefit for income taxes from continuing operations recorded in the consolidated statements of operations with the amounts computed at the statutory federal tax rates is shown below. RSE Archive has elected to be treated as a partnership; thus, for the period ended December 31, 2019 the only tax affected components of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related to closed Series.

NOTE H - CONTINGENCIES

 

COVID-19

 

The extent of the impact and effects of the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID‐19) on the operation and financial performance of our business are unknown. However, the Company does not expect that the outbreak will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results at this time.

 

 

Restriction on Sale of Series #HONUS

 

Without the Company’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion), the Asset Seller will not, directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, transfer, hypothecate, mortgage, grant or encumber, sell or grant any option, purchase any option, enter into any arrangement or contract to do any of the foregoing, or otherwise transfer, dispose or encumber the Asset Seller’s Equity Interest.  

Without the Asset Seller’s prior written consent, the Company will not sell the Underlying Asset within 36-months of the Closing.  

The Company will not sell the Underlying Asset for a purchase price of less than $1,900,000.00 without the Asset Seller’s prior written consent.  

For a 10 year period following the Closing, the Company (or our designee(s)) will have the right, exercisable at any time upon written notice to the Asset Seller, to repurchase from the Asset Seller the Asset Seller Equity Interest for a purchase price valuing the Series at no less than $1,900,000.00.  In the event the Company exercises this right, the Asset Seller will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to us such agreements or instruments as we may reasonably request, in order to facilitate such repurchase. 

If the Underlying Asset is sold within 5 years of the Closing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to include as a condition in the sale agreement relating to such sale that purchaser of the Underlying Asset must lend the Underlying Asset to the Asset Seller for 60 days per calendar year for a 24-month period post-sale.  The Company will have no further obligation to the Asset Seller once the Company sells the Underlying Asset.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the managing member of the Series shall be responsible for the acquisition and disposition of the Series #TICKER Asset as well as the business of the Series including the development and execution of the Membership Experience Programs and other member engagement products;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the managing member of the Company intends to maintain an expert network of advisors with experience in relevant industries (the “Advisory Board”), which may, among other things, provide guidance with respect to the appropriate levels of annual fleet level insurance costs and maintenance costs for the Series #TICKER Asset and approve service providers engaged for the maintenance, transportation, repair and license of the Series #TICKER Asset.  

WHEREAS, the Series desires to avail itself of the advice and assistance of the Asset Manager and to appoint and retain the Asset Manager as the asset manager to the Series with respect to the Series #TICKER Asset;

WHEREAS, the Asset Manager wishes to accept such appointment; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1.Appointment of Asset Manager; Acceptance of Appointment.  The Series hereby appoints the Asset Manager as asset manager to the Series for the purpose of managing the Series #TICKER Asset. The Asset Manager hereby accepts such appointment.  

2.Authority of the Asset Manager. 

(a)Except as set forth in Section 2(e) below and any guidance as may be established from time to time by the managing member of the Series or the Advisory Board, the Asset Manager shall have sole authority and complete discretion over the care, custody, maintenance and management of the Series #TICKER Asset and to take any action that it deems necessary or desirable in connection therewith.  The Asset Manager is authorized on behalf of the Series to, among other things: 

(i)purchase and maintain insurance coverage for the Series #TICKER Asset for the benefit of the Series;  



(ii)engage third party independent contractors for the care, custody, maintenance and management of the #TICKER Asset;  

(iii)develop standards for the care of the Series #TICKER Asset while in storage;

(v)reasonably make all determinations regarding the calculation of fees, expenses and other amounts relating to the Series #TICKER Asset paid by the Asset Manager hereunder; 

(vi)deliver invoices to the managing member of the Company for the payment of all fees and expenses incurred by the Series in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Series #TICKER Asset and ensure delivery of payments to third parties for any such services; and 

(vii)generally perform any other act necessary to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. 

(b)The Asset Manager shall have full responsibility for the maintenance of the Series #TICKER Asset and handling of inspections.    

(c)The Asset Manager shall devote such time to its duties under this Agreement as may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Asset Manager in light of the understanding that such duties are expected to be performed only at occasional or irregular intervals. 

(d)The Asset Manager may delegate all or any of its duties under this Agreement to any Person who shall perform such delegated duties under the supervision of the Asset Manager on such terms as the Asset Manager shall determine. 

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Asset Manager shall not have the authority to: 

(i)acquire any asset or service for an amount equal to or greater than 1% of the value of the Series #TICKER Asset as of such date, individually, or 3% of the value of the Series #TICKER Asset as of such date, in the aggregate without the prior consent of the managing member of the Series; or  

(ii)sell, transfer or convey the Series #TICKER Asset, provided, however, that the Asset Manager may deliver to the managing member of the Company any offers received by the Asset Manager to purchase the Series #TICKER Asset and any research or analysis prepared by the Asset Manager regarding the potential sale of the Series #TICKER Asset, including market analysis, survey results or information regarding any inquiries received and information regarding potential purchasers. 


2 


3.Cooperation.  The Asset Manager agrees to use reasonable efforts to make appropriate personnel available for consultation with the Series on matters pertaining to the Series #TICKER Asset and to consult with the managing member of the Series regarding asset management decisions with respect to the Series #TICKER Asset prior to execution.  The managing member of the Series may make any reasonable request for the provision of information or for other cooperation from the Asset Manager with respect to its duties under this Agreement, and the Asset Manager shall use reasonable efforts to comply with such request, including without limitation, furnishing the Series with such documents, reports, data and other information as the managing member of the Series may reasonably request regarding the Series #TICKER Asset and the Asset Manager’s performance hereunder or compliance with the terms hereof. 

4.Representations and Warranties.  Each party hereto represents and warrants that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such party and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party. 

5.Limitation of Liability; Indemnification. 

(a)None of the Asset Manager, its affiliates, or any of their respective directors, members, stockholders, partners, officers, employees or controlling persons (collectively, “Managing Parties”) shall be liable to the Series or the Company for (i) any act or omission performed or failed to be performed by any Managing Party (other than any criminal wrongdoing) arising from the exercise of such Managing Party’s rights or obligations hereunder, or for any losses, claims, costs, damages, or liabilities arising therefrom, in the absence of criminal wrongdoing, willful misfeasance or gross negligence on the part of such Managing Party, (ii) any tax liability imposed on the Series or the Series #TICKER Asset, or (iii) any losses due to the actions or omissions of the Series or any brokers or other current or former agents or advisers of the Series. 

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Series will indemnify the Asset Manager and its Managing Parties against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) to which such person may become subject in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent that any such Loss results solely from the acts or omissions of a Managing Party that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Managing Party’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  If this Section 5 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Series shall nevertheless indemnify the Managing Party for any Losses incurred to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that shall not have been invalidated.   

(c)The Asset Manager gives no warranty as to the performance or profitability of the Series #TICKER Asset or as to the performance of any third party engaged by the Asset Manager hereunder. 

(d)The Asset Manager may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from action upon any instruction from, or document signed by, any authorized person  


3 


of the Series or other person reasonably believed by the Asset Manager to be authorized to give or sign the same whether or not the authority of such person is then effective.

6.Assignments.  This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the consent of the other party.  In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Asset Manager may, at its discretion, delegate any or all of its rights, powers and functions under this Agreement to any Person in accordance with section 2(d) without the need for the consent of the Series, provided that the Asset Manager’s liability to the Series for all matters so delegated shall not be affected by such delegation. 

7.Compensation and Expenses. 

(a)As compensation for services performed by the Asset Manager under this Agreement, and in consideration therefor, the Series will pay an annual asset management fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) to the Asset Manager in respect of each fiscal year, up to 50% of any Free Cash Flows available for distribution pursuant to Article VII of the Operating Agreement. Any such amount will be paid at the same time as, and only if, a distribution is made from the Series to its Members. 

(b)Except as set forth in Section 5, the Series will bear all expenses of the Series #TICKER Asset and shall reimburse the Asset Manager for any such expenses paid by the Asset Manager on behalf of the Series together with a reasonable rate of interest (a rate no less than the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code)) as may be imposed by the Asset Manager in its sole discretion (“Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation”). 

(c)Each party will bear its own costs relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and implementation of this Agreement. 

8.Services to Other Clients; Certain Affiliated Activities. 

(a)The relationship between the Asset Manager and the Series is as described in this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement, none of the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, nor any other matter, shall oblige the Asset Manager to accept responsibilities that are more extensive than those set forth in this Agreement. 

(b)The Asset Manager’s services to the Series are not exclusive.  The Asset Manager may engage in other activities on behalf of itself, any other Managing Party and other clients (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include other series of the Company).  The Series acknowledges and agrees that the Asset Manager may, without prior notice to the Series, give advice to such other clients.  The Asset Manager shall not be liable to account to the Series for any profits, commission or remuneration made or received in respect of transactions effected pursuant to the Asset Manager’s advice to another client and nor will the Asset Manager’s fees be abated as a result.  

9.[RESERVED]. 

10.Duration and Termination.  Unless terminated as set forth below, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until one year after the date on which the Series  


4 


#TICKER Asset has been liquidated and the obligations connected to such Series #TICKER Asset (including, without limitation, contingent obligations) have terminated or, if earlier, the removal of RSE Archive Manager, LLC as managing member of the Series.  Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon a material breach of the Agreement by the other party, without penalty or other additional payment, except that the Series shall pay the Asset Management Fee of the Asset Manager referred to in section 7, pro-rated to the date of termination, together with all amounts outstanding under any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation.  Termination shall not affect accrued rights, and the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 7 (with respect to any accrued but unpaid fees and expenses), 8, 10, 12, 15 and 17 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11.Power of Attorney.  For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Series constitutes and appoints the Asset Manager, with full power of substitution, its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and in its name, place and stead to carry out the Asset Manager’s obligations and responsibilities to the Series under this Agreement, solely with respect to the Series #TICKER Asset.

For purposes of this Note, a “Change of Control” means (i) a transaction or series of related transactions in which any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of Borrower having the right to vote for the election of members of Borrower’s board of directors, (ii) any reorganization, merger or consolidation of Borrower, other than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of Borrower outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions retain, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions, at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of Borrower or such other surviving or resulting entity or (iii) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower.

(a)declare all or any portion of the unpaid Loan, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and/or 

(b)exercise all rights and remedies available to it under this Note or applicable law; 

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 6.1.2 above, the unpaid Loan and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable without further act of Holder.  Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest and demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and expressly agrees that this Note, or the payment of any portion of the Loan or interest hereunder, may be extended from time to time, without in any way affecting the liability of Borrower hereunder.

9.2Applicable Law.  This Note is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to the principles thereof governing conflicts of laws). 

9.3Consent to Jurisdiction. Borrower and Holder hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against such party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Note or or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably  


and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court; provided that, any suit seeking enforcement against any collateral may be brought, at Holder’s option, in the courts of any jurisdiction where such collateral may be found.  Borrower and Holder agree that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Borrower and Holder irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note in any court referred to herein.  Borrower and Holder hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.  Borrower and Holder irrevocably consent to service of process in the manner provided for notices in this Note.  Nothing in this Note will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

9.4Waiver of Jury Trial.  BORROWER AND HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 

9.5Headings.  The headings of the Sections, subsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs hereof are provided herein for and only for convenience of reference, and shall not be considered in construing their contents. 

9.6Severability.  No determination by any court, governmental body or otherwise that any provision of this Note or any amendment hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any instance shall affect the validity or enforceability of (a) any other such provision or (b) such provision in any circumstance not controlled by such determination.  Each such provision shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by, and shall be construed wherever possible as being consistent with, applicable law. 

9.7No Waiver.  Holder shall not be deemed to have waived the exercise of any right which it holds hereunder unless such waiver is made expressly and in writing.  No delay or omission by Holder in exercising any such right (and no allowance by Holder to Borrower of an opportunity to cure a default in performing its obligations hereunder) shall be deemed a waiver of its future exercise.  No such waiver made as to any instance involving the exercise of any such right shall be deemed a waiver as to any other such instance, or any other such right.  Further, acceptance by Holder of all or any portion of any sum payable under, or partial performance of any covenant of, this Note, whether before, on, or after the due date of such payment or performance, shall not be a waiver of Holder’s right either to require prompt and full payment and performance when due of all other sums payable or obligations due thereunder or hereunder or to exercise any of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder. 

9.8Interest Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the effective rate of interest on the Obligations shall not exceed the lawful maximum rate of interest permitted to be paid in the State of New York.  If the interest charged under this Note results in an effective rate of interest higher than that lawfully permitted to be paid, then such charges shall be reduced by the least amount necessary to result in a permissible effective rate of interest and any amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate already received and held by Holder shall be applied to a reduction of principal and not to the payment of interest.  Borrower agrees that for the purpose of determining highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment shall be deemed, to the extent permitted by law, to be an expense, fee or premium rather than interest. 


9.9Modification.  This Note may be modified, amended, discharged or waived only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.  

9.10Negotiable Instrument.  Borrower agrees that this Note shall be deemed a negotiable instrument, even though this Note may not otherwise qualify, under applicable law, absent this paragraph, as a negotiable instrument. 

9.11Relationship.  Borrower and Holder intend that the relationship between them shall be solely that of creditor and debtor.  Nothing contained in this Note shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between Borrower and Holder.

Schedule III

 

 

Eligible Inventory Storage Facilities

 

1.[****] 


Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed, and has been marked with “[***]” to indicate where information has been redacted.



Exhibit A-1

 

Eligibility Criteria
(Inventory)

Inventory (as defined in the UCC) of the Borrower, that complies with each of the representations and warranties respecting Eligible Inventory made in the Note, and that is not excluded as ineligible by virtue of one or more of the excluding criteria set forth below.  In determining the amount to be so included, Inventory shall be valued at the lower of cost or market on a basis consistent with Borrower’s historical accounting practices, and shall be calculated, net of customer deposits, credits and taxes.  An item of Inventory shall not be included in Eligible Inventory if:

1.The Borrower does not have good, valid, and marketable title (or ownership in the case of non-titled Eligible Inventory) thereto; 

2.The Borrower does not have actual and exclusive possession thereof (either directly or through a bailee or agent of the Borrower) unless otherwise specified in the Borrowing Base Report; 

3.it is not located at one of the locations in the continental United States set forth on Schedule III to this Note (as such schedule may be amended from time to time) (or in-transit from one such location to another such location) (or as otherwise scheduled in the Borrowing Base Report); 

4.it is not subject to a valid and perfected first priority Holder’s lien; 

5.such Inventory is not insured against types of loss, damage, hazards, and risks, and in amounts, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (and, upon request of the Holder, the Borrower shall provide a copy of the certificate of insurance evidencing adequate insurance coverage); 

6.title (when applicable) to such Inventory has not passed to the Borrower; and 

7.the Inventory does not satisfy the Borrower’s eligibility criteria set forth on Exhibit A-2

Additionally, Inventory of the Borrower shall not constitute Eligible Inventory if either such goods are placed on consignment or are sold pursuant to a guaranteed sale, a sale or return, a sale on approval, a bill and hold, or any other terms by reason of which the payment by the account debtor may be conditional, or with respect to which the payment terms are “C.O.D.”, cash on delivery or other similar terms.




Exhibit A-2

 

Eligibility Criteria
(Inventory)

All assets on Rally Rd. are considered to be investment grade, and therefore must adhere

to only the highest standards of authenticity quality, history and cosmetic condition (and

in the case of classic cars mechanical condition).

 

COLLECTOR CAR UNDERWRITING STANDARDS:

1) Key Factors we Consider:

a) In the case where a vehicle model has VIN stamped or numbers matching engines,

transmissions, and/or other drivetrain components, the original components must be in

the vehicle.

i) In models where vehicles did not have serialized engine numbers that can be

matched to the chassis, casting numbers and an expert opinion must be provided to

verify that engine is original to car.

ii) In the case where a vehicle model has VIN stamped or numbers matching body

panels, the original components must be on the vehicle.

b) We place a high premium on limited production vehicles. Vehicles with total production

over 2,000 units will be considered based on exceptional mileage, originality or history.

c) If a vehicle is represented as restored there must be documentation (either photographs

or invoices) supporting that fact.

d) Vehicles must be in their original factory delivered colors. Vehicles not painted or

upholstered in their original colors, but rather painted or upholstered in a period factory

available color, may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

e) Vehicle history must be documented from new without gaps larger than 20% of the

vehicles age. E.g. a 60-year old vehicle cannot have gaps in history larger than 12 years.

i) The "Ownership Ratio" = (Current Year - Vehicle Model Year) / Number of Owners

must be > 4.5, otherwise may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

ii) An affidavit from a previous private owner may be accepted on case-by-case basis

for single owner vehicles with gaps in history or vehicles with undocumented

celebrity provenance.

2) Immediately Disqualifying Factors:

a) Salvage, flood, rebuilt, assigned vin, or other similarly compromised titles, history of an

accident, or prior damage to more than one body panel of the vehicle immediately

disqualifies any car from the Platform.

b) Vehicles with mileage discrepancies or any period where the odometer was known to be

non-functioning are immediately disqualified.

 

COLLECTIBLES UNDERWRITING STANDARDS:

1) All collectible assets must be acquired from a "brand-name" supplier, for example:

a) Vintage watches from a business that is an authorized retailer for the manufacturer.

b) Memorabilia from a licensed auction house that has a documented history of transacting

in assets of similar or greater caliber.

c) Assets acquired directly from private owners may be accepted on case-by-case basis

provided provenance can be established and documented.

2) All collectible assets must be substantiated by a signed representation of authenticity from the

respective supplier.

3) All collectible assets must be substantiated by an acceptable form of third-party

authentication, for example:




a) Vintage watches must include "boxes and papers" from the manufacturer with matching

and expert verified serial numbers.

b) Memorabilia must have been graded as authentic and recently validated by a major

authentication agency, such as PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) or SGC

(Sportscard Guarantee Corporation).

c) An affidavit from a previous private owner may be accepted on case-by-case basis.

d) In any instances when a collectible asset does not have an existing 3rd-party letter of

authenticity (ex. a first edition signed Albert Einstein biography from the 1940s) an industry

expert must be engaged to inspect the asset and provide a signed letter of authenticity.




Exhibit B

 

Collateral

 

The Collateral shall include, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all of Borrower’s tangible and intangible personal property and fixtures (but none of its obligations with respect thereto), of every kind and nature, including, without limitation, the following tangible and intangible personal property and fixtures (as each such term is used in the UCC):

(xi)letters-of-credit, letter-of-credit rights and support obligations; 

(xii)the commercial tort claims; 

(xiii)general intangibles (including, without limitation, payment intangibles and intellectual property rights, but excluding insurance proceeds relating to workers’ compensation); and 

(xiv)any and all additions, accessions and attachments to any of the foregoing and any substitutions, replacements, proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds), products and supporting obligations of the foregoing. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include (a) any Excluded Collectible, (b) Excluded FBO Accounts, but not the proceeds thereof, (c) any insurance proceeds relating to workers’ compensation and (d) any intent-to-use Trademark application prior to the filing and acceptance of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which the grant, attachment or enforcement of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability, or result in the voiding, of such intent-to-use trademark application or any registration issuing therefrom under applicable U.S. federal law).

DriveWealth may treat any Authorized Person as having full authority and may act pursuant to such Authorized Persons instructions unless the notice of authorization contains explicit limitations as to said authority.

3.CUSTODIAL SERVICES 

3.1.Obligations of DriveWealth. DriveWealth’s obligations with respect to the Securities and Offerings is limited to providing closing, settlement, custody and related services for Customer accounts established at DriveWealth pursuant to this Agreement. DriveWealth shall hold, as nominee custodian, the Securities and perform related services with respect to Issuer to the extent explicitly required by specific provisions contained in Schedule B-1 of this Agreement and shall not be responsible for any duties or obligations not specifically allocated to DriveWealth pursuant to this Agreement, which services shall be contingent upon Issuer meeting its obligations as outlined herein and in Schedule B-2, and as limited by Schedule C of this Agreement (collectively, the “Services”). DriveWealth’s obligation to hold the Securities in custody does not include any obligation to notify the Customer of the receipt or failure to receive any amount, to forward to the Customer any notices with respect to the investment, to monitor or report to the Customer as to the performance by or nonperformance of any person with respect to the investment (or the performance or nonperformance by any person of any obligation or term contained in, or imposed by, the investment) or to take enforcement or other action with respect thereto, irrespective of whether DriveWealth has actual or constructive knowledge which may make such action or inaction advisable. DriveWealth may also, in its sole discretion, take such actions as it reasonably deems necessary to perform due diligence or investigation with respect to Issuer and/or any Offering at any time and from time to time.   

3.2.Exclusivity.  The Parties agree that DriveWealth will be the exclusive provider of closing, settlement, custody, and related Services for Issuer’s Securities Offerings. Because confusion and inconsistencies may arise from the use of multiple recordkeeping and custody systems to hold the Securities in the U.S., unless otherwise agreed to between the Parties, Issuer shall not, during the Term, establish, maintain or permit any other person to establish or maintain on its behalf a similar relationship with a custodian, clearing broker or transfer agent to perform the Services with respect to the Securities. 

3.3.Modifications to DriveWealth Systems, Platforms and Operations.  DriveWealth upgrades and enhances its platform and amends, modifies and changes its operations and procedures on a consistent basis.  DriveWealth reserves the right, therefore, in its sole discretion, to change or modify the DriveWealth Platform at any time and from time to time. DriveWealth will take reasonable steps to ensure that such modifications do not negatively impact the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.   

3.4.No Discretionary Authority.  Unless and only to the extent specifically described in any separate agreement between DriveWealth and Issuer: (a) DriveWealth shall, at all times, act solely in a passive, non-discretionary capacity with respect to Issuer and each Investor and each brokerage account with DriveWealth maintained by Issuer or each Investor and shall not be responsible or liable for any investment decisions or recommendations with respect to the purchase or disposition of any Security or other assets; (b) DriveWealth shall not be responsible for questioning, investigating, analyzing, monitoring, or otherwise evaluating any of the investment  


Page 3 of 21



decisions or strategies of any Investor or reviewing the prudence, merits, viability or suitability of any investment decision or strategies made by any Investor, including the decision to purchase or hold the Securities or such other investment decisions or direction that may be provided by any individual or entity with authority over the relevant Investor; and (c) DriveWealth shall not be responsible for directing investments or determining whether any investment or strategy by an Investor or any person or entity with authority to make investment decisions on Investor’s behalf is acceptable under applicable Law.

3.5.Book Entry Securities.  The Securities will be book entry securities on DriveWealth’s Books and Records and held for the benefit of the Investors.   DriveWealth will maintain, as part of the Services, information as to amounts owed and paid with respect to the Securities to the individual Investors.  Accordingly, DriveWealth agrees to accurately maintain its Books and Records and to provide Issuer information from its Books and Records as reasonably requested by Issuer.  Issuer shall maintain on its books and records the amount owed and paid to Investors with respect to the Securities and will notify DriveWealth immediately if its record of the amount owed or paid with respect to the Securities to Investors or the position held on Issuer’s books and records is different from the amount that DriveWealth reports to Issuer.  

 

4.FEES AND DEPOSIT 

4.1.Deposit. Issuer shall be required to make a good faith cash or cash equivalent deposit at DriveWealth in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (“Deposit”). The Deposit will be made into a brokerage account held at DriveWealth for the purpose of deducting Fees owed to DriveWealth, covering errors caused by Issuer, and other items specifically agreed to in writing between the Parties. If DriveWealth is required to withdraw funds from the Deposit, Issuer shall, upon written request from DriveWealth, and within a reasonable time provide additional funds to return the Deposit to the full amount agreed to in this section. The Deposit shall be jointly reviewed by the Parties on an ongoing basis to determine if the Deposit is appropriate. Any alteration to the Deposit must be mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing. 

4.1.1.The Deposit shall remain on deposit for a period expiring no later than thirty (30) days subsequent to the Termination Date of this Agreement.  Upon the conclusion of such thirty-day period, DriveWealth shall remit, pay and deliver the Deposit to Issuer, less any amounts due to DriveWealth from Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and less any amounts DriveWealth deems, in written agreement with Issuer, appropriate for its protection from any claim or proceeding of any type either pending or threatened. If any legal action or proceeding is not commenced with respect to any such pending or threatened claim within a reasonable time after the Termination Date of this Agreement, any amount withheld by DriveWealth from the Deposit with respect to such claim shall be promptly paid and delivered to Issuer. 

4.2.Fees.  The fees payable by Issuer to DriveWealth are specified in Schedule D to this Agreement (collectively, the “Fees”).  DriveWealth is authorized to debit the Fees or any other obligation of Issuer to DriveWealth automatically from Issuer’s Deposit as such Fees and obligations become due.  Issuer will maintain sufficient cash in, and from time to time deposit sufficient funds in, such account to ensure payment of its obligations, including the Fees, to DriveWealth. The Parties acknowledge and understand that the Fees represented in Schedule D are subject to change and that certain Fees, not explicitly stated, may reasonably be passed by DriveWealth through to Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties will regularly review the appropriateness of the Fees in Schedule D. Any material change to the Fees will require a written amendment to this Agreement.

5.4.No License of Intellectual Property.  Except as expressly provided herein, no license or grant of any intellectual property of any nature whatsoever, including any Branding or Content, or any data, business method, patents or applications thereof or similar material shall be deemed granted, licensed or otherwise from either Party (or any Affiliate thereof) to the other (or any Affiliate thereof) under this Agreement.

8.2.DriveWealth Indemnification.  Issuer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold DriveWealth and its Affiliates and their respective members, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees (each a “DriveWealth Indemnified Party” or, collectively, “DriveWealth Indemnified Parties”) harmless against any investigation, claim, action, or proceeding (including a regulatory inquiry, whether formal or informal or any arbitration or court action) (“Action”) brought by a Customer, court, regulator or self-regulatory organization asserting jurisdiction over the DriveWealth Indemnified Party or by any other party against any DriveWealth Indemnified Party insofar as such Action relates to Issuer, any Affiliate of Issuer, the Securities, any Offering, the marketing and advertising thereof, or that results from any action, inaction, omission, misstatement or statement of Issuer or any person acting in connection with Issuer or on Issuer’s behalf (other than any misstatement or statement about DriveWealth provided by DriveWealth) arising out of or based upon (a) the Issuer Site or the offering circular, including any amended versions thereof; (b) any breach or alleged breach of any of Issuer’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder and including any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Schedules to this Agreement; (c) any breach or alleged breach of confidentiality or privacy relating to Issuer’s failure or alleged failure to treat any Customer’s personal or identifying information as confidential pursuant to Section 6; and (d) infringement or misappropriation by Issuer of any third party’s property and/or intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and publicity rights.  Further, Issuer shall indemnify the DriveWealth Indemnified Parties against all expenses, fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other legal expenses), losses, claims, damages, demands, liabilities, judgments (including fines and settlements), costs of investigation or responding to inquiries or otherwise (“Losses”) incurred by or levied or brought against the DriveWealth Indemnified Parties arising out of, or related to, Actions warranting indemnification pursuant to this Section as such Losses arise, except to the extent that such Losses relate to or result from gross negligence, misfeasance or willful disregard for Law by any DriveWealth Indemnified Party. 

8.3.Promptly after receipt by a DriveWealth Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or the commencement of any Action with respect to which a DriveWealth Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity hereunder, DriveWealth will notify Issuer in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such Action, and Issuer, if requested by the DriveWealth Indemnified Party, will assume the defense of such Action and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the DriveWealth Indemnified Party and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the DriveWealth Indemnified Party will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for Issuer and from any other party in such action if counsel for the DriveWealth Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate or ill-advised for the same counsel to represent both parties. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by Issuer, in addition to local counsel.  If the DriveWealth Indemnified Party elects Issuer to assume the defense of such Action, Issuer will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding, provided that Issuer will not settle any such claim or Action without the prior written consent of the DriveWealth Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If the DriveWealth Indemnified Party assumes the defense (with payment of any related costs and expenses by Issuer), the DriveWealth Indemnified Party will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding, provided that the DriveWealth Indemnified Party will not settle any claim or Action without the prior written consent of Issuer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Page 8 of 21



Issuer Indemnified Party relating to DriveWealth, any Affiliate of DriveWealth, or the Services, insofar as the Action arises out of or is based upon (a) the DriveWealth Site; (b) any misstatement or statement about DriveWealth provided by DriveWealth to Issuer including, without limitation, any misstatement or statement in any offering circular, including any amended versions thereof; (c) any breach or alleged breach of any of DriveWealth’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder and including any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Schedules to this Agreement; (d) any and all commitments, representations, warranties or statements of any kind by DriveWealth to any third party regarding the use of the DriveWealth Site; and (e) infringement or misappropriation by DriveWealth of any third party’s property and/or intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and publicity rights.  Further, DriveWealth shall indemnify the Issuer Indemnified Parties against all Losses incurred by or levied or brought against the Issuer Indemnified Parties arising out of, or related to, Actions warranting indemnification pursuant to this Section as such Losses arise, except to the extent that such Losses relate to or result from gross negligence, misfeasance or willful disregard for law by any Issuer Indemnified Party.

8.5.Promptly after receipt by an Issuer Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or the commencement of any Action with respect to which an Issuer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity hereunder, Issuer will notify DriveWealth in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such Action, and DriveWealth, if requested by the Issuer Indemnified Party, will assume the defense of such Action and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer Indemnified Party and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Issuer Indemnified Party will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for DriveWealth and from any other party in such action if counsel for the Issuer Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate or ill-advised for the same counsel to represent both parties.  In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by DriveWealth, in addition to local counsel.  If the Issuer Indemnified Party elects DriveWealth to assume the defense of such Action, DriveWealth will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding, provided that DriveWealth will not settle any such claim or Action without the prior written consent of the Issuer Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If the Issuer Indemnified Party assumes the defense (with payment of any related costs and expenses by DriveWealth), the Issuer Indemnified Party will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding, provided that the Issuer Indemnified Party will not settle any claim or Action without the prior written consent of DriveWealth, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

8.6.No Claim Preclusion.  Nothing in this Section shall be construed to preclude either Party from making any claim against the other arising out of a failure to perform obligations under this Agreement.  Neither Party shall be precluded from claiming or commencing an action for contribution to any amounts the other may be required or otherwise agree to pay to an Investor or other third party, including a regulator, with jurisdiction over the Services.

B.DriveWealth will establish accounts for Customers for the purpose of those accounts participating in Issuer’s Offerings on a fully disclosed basis. DriveWealth will be responsible for executing its AML Compliance Program including Customer Identification Program (“CIP”) and Know-Your-Customer (“KYC”) procedures. 

C.DriveWealth reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to establish the account for a Customer for any reason. Issuer will be responsible for obtaining any additional Customer information required by DriveWealth for DriveWealth to make a good verification. If DriveWealth requests additional documentation needed to make a good Customer verification and, if such documentation is not obtained and returned within thirty (30) days of DriveWealth’s request, DriveWealth reserves the right to place trading restriction(s) on the Account including, but not limited to, freezing the Account’s assets, until such time that DriveWealth has received the requested documentation and made a good Customer verification.   

D.The Customer applications, agreements, and forms do not convey any rights to Issuer. This Agreement does not act as a substitute for any agreements Issuer is required to execute with the Customer.  

 

2.Scope of Activities  

 

A.Customer accounts established at DriveWealth will be restricted to only trading activities in the Securities. The Customer will not be allowed to participate in other brokerage activities offered through DriveWealth, including the purchase and sale of equities, unless such Customer maintains an additional DriveWealth account(s) that is permitted to engage in such activity.  

 

3.Receipt and Delivery of Funds and Securities 

 

A.Payment/Delivery: DriveWealth shall perform cashiering functions for Accounts introduced by Issuer. These functions shall include receipt and delivery of Securities; receipt and payment of funds owed by or to

B.Safekeeping of Custodied Assets: In connection with maintaining custody of funds and Securities on deposit in the Accounts, DriveWealth shall be responsible for the safekeeping of all cash and Securities received by it pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that DriveWealth shall not be responsible for any funds or Securities delivered by Issuer until such funds or Securities are actually received by DriveWealth or deposited in good deliverable form in accounts maintained by DriveWealth.  

 

4.Closing Services.  

 

A.DriveWealth will conduct closings in which funds are delivered to Issuer’s account in amounts equal to subscription requests Issuer has accepted (when applicable), and Securities identified by a single alpha and or numeric identifier (“Ticker” or “CUSIP”) are transferred into Customer Accounts (actions collectively referred to as a “Closing”). These services include anti-money laundering (“AML”), Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) and related services required for any funds transfers. 

B.DriveWealth will conduct Closings at Issuer’s Instructions.  For Offerings with one Closing for a single Ticker, DriveWealth will conduct the Closing at the time instructed by Issuer or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.  For Offerings with multiple Closings over time and or with multiple Tickers, DriveWealth may decide, in its sole discretion, and after consultation with Issuer, to limit the number of Closings to a specified number within a designated time period (for instance, one Closing per month).   

C.Issuer shall instruct Dwolla to direct funds from Customers’ Dwolla accounts to DriveWealth’s merchant Dwolla account during the Closing process. DriveWealth shall not be responsible for Dwolla clawbacks or other restrictions on a Customer’s Dwolla account that prevents the settlement and closing of the Offering pursuant to the Instructions received. In the event that DriveWealth is unable to settle and close the Offering pursuant to Instructions due to a Dwolla clawback or other restriction, Issuer shall be responsible for the unsettled portion.  

D.All Closings are subject to the fees specified in Schedule D.1.

1.based upon the Books and Records provided by DriveWealth or an Affiliate of DriveWealth from time to time, maintain an accurate and complete record on its official books and records of the number of units (which may be in aggregate if permitted by Law) of Securities and, if permitted by Law, as held by DriveWealth as nominee custodian for Customers noting that such units are held by “DriveWealth, LLC for the exclusive benefit of its customers”, or if certificated, deliver to DriveWealth an original, duly issued and outstanding unit certificate in the name of “DriveWealth, LLC for the exclusive benefit of its customers” in an amount equal to the number of units of Securities held by Shareholders; 

2.maintain an accurate and complete record on its official books and records of the number of units of Securities, if any, held by DriveWealth for DriveWealth’s own benefit, or if certificated, deliver to DriveWealth an original, duly issued and outstanding unit certificate in the name of “DriveWealth, LLC.” in an amount equal to the number of units of Securities held by DriveWealth; 

3.provide to DriveWealth a statement and attestation, on a monthly basis and in such form as DriveWealth may reasonably require (e.g., through a designated website or email to DriveWealth’s operations department), indicating the number of units of the Securities recorded in Issuer’s records as being held by “DriveWealth, LLC. for the exclusive benefit of its customers” and as being held by DriveWealth itself for its own benefit, if any, as of the last day of each month, and, if certificated, attesting to (A) the authenticity of the certificate(s) in DriveWealth’s possession, (B) that the certificate(s) represent(s) the number of units of Securities represented in Issuer’s records, and (C) that the certificate(s) in DriveWealth’s possession is/are recorded on Issuer’s official books and records as “DriveWealth, LLC. for the exclusive benefit of its customers” and “DriveWealth, LLC”, respectively; 


Page 16 of 21



4.upon DriveWealth’s reasonable determination that there is risk of material misinformation with regard to Issuer’s books and records, provide DriveWealth with the option and opportunity to audit, or have a third party audit on DriveWealth’s behalf, Issuer’s books and records to confirm any information maintained by Issuer under the Agreement and authorize DriveWealth to contact Issuer’s auditors and request that they provide confirmation of such information, all at Issuer’s sole expense; 

5.provide DriveWealth, on a monthly basis, assurance in such form as DriveWealth may reasonably require (e.g., through a designated website or email to DriveWealth’s operations department), that the Securities identified in Issuer’s books and records as held by “DriveWealth LLC for the exclusive benefit of its customers” and/or “DriveWealth LLC” or that the units evidenced by certificate(s) in such names are not subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien, or claim of any kind in favor of Issuer or any person claiming through Issuer and that all such Securities issued and outstanding for the prior month have been validly authorized, duly and validly issued, fully paid and are non-assessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer that have been provided to DriveWealth by Issuer;  

6.provide DriveWealth, pursuant to such methods as DriveWealth may reasonably require (e.g., through a designated website or email to DriveWealth’s operations department), and at such times as DriveWealth may reasonably require, information indicating the per unit value of the Securities, which shall constitute an instruction to DriveWealth to communicate to Investors that unit value as the then current value of the Securities and to update Investor account values accordingly. Such unit value shall be provided as of the end of each calendar year if the Securities are held in individual retirement arrangement (“IRA”) or related accounts, per United States of America Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) requirements. Such unit value will be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to FINRA Rule 2310 and 2340 relating to direct participation programs (“DPP”) and unlisted real estate investment trusts (“REIT”).  

7.provide DriveWealth, pursuant to such methods as DriveWealth may reasonably require, with the details of, and all monies associated with any dividend, interest, principal or other payment due to Investors and a detailed record of the recipients and amounts to be credited thereto and any tax reporting codes in a manner required by DriveWealth from time to time in order for DriveWealth to credit Investors with such payments on a timely basis and to produce relevant tax documentation therefrom (it is agreed that Issuer shall produce or cause to be produced by third parties on behalf of Issuer, at Issuer’s expense, any Schedule K-1’s or similar documents for delivery by DriveWealth to Shareholders); and; and 

8.provide to DriveWealth, in such form and at such time as DriveWealth may reasonably request, a copy of any documentation, memoranda, agreements or other documents or information that DriveWealth believes is necessary for it to satisfy any filing, reporting or other applicable legal requirements it may have relating to the custody of the Securities.

Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in this Agreement or in a separate written agreement between the Parties, the following services specifically are NOT provided by DriveWealth or any Affiliate of DriveWealth under this Agreement:

 

1.Issuer explicitly understands that DriveWealth provides no tax, legal, or investment advice of any kind, nor does DriveWealth give advice or offer opinions with respect to the nature, potential value, or suitability of any Securities transaction or Customer investment strategy. Issuer will not hold, nor seek to hold, DriveWealth or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries, or affiliates liable for losses incurred by Customers from participating in Issuer’s Offering.  

 

2.Services Under Separate Agreement.  This Agreement does not address nor authorize DriveWealth to provide, investment banking or underwriter services to Issuer, to act as an underwriter or selling group member, to issue the Securities, to provide advice or advisory services in connection with the services as set forth in Schedule B, to recommend the Securities or the Offering, or to make any suitability determinations with respect to any DriveWealth Customer.  DriveWealth is not committing to and does not intend to purchase any of the Securities for its own  


Page 17 of 21



account or that of an Affiliate.  However, Issuer and DriveWealth understand and agree that, in addition to the services provided herein and under a separate agreement (a “Selling Agreement”) which may be entered into between Issuer or sales agent and DriveWealth, DriveWealth may participate in the Offering as a dealer in the sale of the Securities.  In its capacity as a dealer, DriveWealth shall be entitled to receive a reallowance on commissions in accordance with the Selling Agreement, which shall be compensation for DriveWealth's portion of the commissions as a Dealer and shall be separate and distinct from the fees set forth in Schedule D of this Agreement.  

 

3.No Approval of Issuer Content.  DriveWealth is not preparing, endorsing, adopting, or approving in any way any offering memoranda or other offering documents, SEC, state or other regulatory filings, or any sales or marketing material or Issuer Content, specifically including any Issuer Sites, or any other material or Content of any kind wherever they may appear except to the extent that such websites, material or Content specifically reference the DriveWealth Name, Branding, Content, or descriptive materials about the Services, and then only to the extent of such references and specifically not including other portions of such website or materials or (ii) otherwise as specifically provided by DriveWealth or any of its Affiliates for inclusion by Issuer in such offering memoranda or other offering documents, SEC, state or other regulatory filings, or sales or marketing material or Issuer Site. 

 

4.No Setting, Reviewing or Guaranteeing of Price, Tax or Other Data.  DriveWealth is not setting, calculating, creating, approving, endorsing, adopting, reviewing, recommending or guaranteeing any price for the Securities, or giving any opinion with respect to the accuracy, reliability or completeness of any data or information about the Securities appearing on a DriveWealth Site or elsewhere.  DriveWealth is relying on Issuer for all such data and information.  DriveWealth is not preparing or calculating any tax statements or documentation on behalf of Issuer, specifically including Schedule K-1s, except for those tax documents normally and usually included as part of a brokerage account (such as 1099s). 

 

5.Due Diligence. DriveWealth will not be responsible for conducting due diligence on any Securities offered by Issuer. Issuer (or its intermediary broker-dealer) shall be responsible for conducting due diligence and determining whether Customer participation in an Offering is appropriate based on suitability factors and other determinations.  

 

6.Instructions. DriveWealth will only settle Offerings pursuant to Issuer or Issuer’s intermediary broker-dealer’s Instructions.   

 

7.Marketing and Promotion. DriveWealth shall not be responsible for preparing marketing or promotional material for Offerings or Securities. Issuer will be solely responsible for the costs associated with the preparation of all marketing and promotional materials.   

 

 

 

SCHEDULE D – Fees and Other Costs

a.Reserved when DriveWealth is compensated by an intermediary broker dealer instead of Issuer, or

Page 18 of 21



a.Reserved when issuer due diligence is performed by an intermediary broker dealer or third-party due diligence firm instead of DriveWealth, or 

b.Issuer shall pay DriveWealth fees (whether charged by DriveWealth or by a third party) related to conducting due diligence with respect to Issuer, any Offering in a specific Series of Issuer, or any principal or other person associated with Issuer that DriveWealth deems necessary or appropriate, which may be up to $5,000 in the aggregate but may be greater if additional efforts are necessary to conduct adequate due diligence. DriveWealth understands that Offerings by Issuer are prepared by a professional legal firm, largely standardized, covered under one Regulation A+ offering circular (as amended from time to time), and will endeavor to minimize related diligence fees accordingly. DriveWealth will provide an estimate of Due Diligence Fees upon receipt of diligence materials and consult with Issuer before deciding to incur additional costs in excess of the estimate and will only incur such fees with the agreement of both Parties. Due Diligence Fees are payable even if no Securities are issued. 

 

4.Fee for Termination and Transfer of Securities Pursuant to Section 9 Not Related to the Failure of an Offering to be Completed.  For terminations pursuant to Sections 9.3, 9.4, and 9.5 that are not related to and do not arise from the failure of an Offering to be completed under the terms of this Agreement, and for which there are any Shareholders for DriveWealth to transfer to another firm, Issuer shall pay a termination fee ("Termination Fee") that is the lesser of (a) $10,000, or (b) the current number of Shareholders of Securities as established at the time of transition, multiplied by $2.50; provided, however, that the Termination Fee shall not apply for terminations under 9.3 if the termination is by DriveWealth.  This Termination Fee does not apply if Securities are transferred through the DTCC ACAT system to other custodians, though the transfer fees paid by Customers in Section 6 below would apply.  Further, this Termination Fee does not apply to terminations pursuant to any other provision of Section 9. 

 

5.Administrative Expenses. Issuer shall bear and pay all costs, fees and expenses relating to the preparation, printing, filing and dissemination of information relating to the Securities issued to Shareholders pursuant to each Offering and any amendments or supplements thereto, including any federal or state fees imposed on Issuer or on DriveWealth relating to the Offering, including but not limited to any costs, fees or expenses incurred by DriveWealth in connection with the filing of documents with regulatory authorities (such as costs for federal and state filings of the Offering under Regulation D (e.g., Form D) or Regulation A of the Securities Act (e.g., Form 1-A and FINRA Rule 5110)), and any fees or expenses relating to the issuance and/or delivery of the Securities (such as transfer agent fees, certificate fees, DTCC fees, NSCC fees). DriveWealth understands that Offerings by Issuer are largely standardized, covered under one offering circular, and will disclose any such administrative expenses to Issuer in advance of incurring them and endeavor to minimize such administrative fees accordingly.  

 

6.Service Fees.  Based upon Issuer request and specific requirements provided by Issuer, an Issuer may be charged the following service fees: 

a.Securities Proxy, Corporate Action, and Corporate Communication Fees – to the extent Issuer requests DriveWealth to distribute corporate communications and process Investor voting, Issuer will be charged the following fees for corporate action and communication processes, as well as processing of any resultant tax documents or Customer inquiries (as described in Supplemental Tax Document Processing below). Note that fees will only apply to the processing of these actions for Securities, not those publicly traded securities for which such actions are processed via DTCC, though similar fees do apply for proxy services for public securities. 

i.Involuntary corporate action (e.g., split, symbol change) – [TBD]  

ii.Voluntary corporate action (e.g., rights offering) – [TBD] 

iii.Proxy solicitation, voting, tabulation – [TBD] 

b.Customer Service – Issuer will endeavor to manage most Customer service inquiries from Investors directly. Inquiries specifically related to brokerage services will be directed to DriveWealth only when necessary; inquiries related to DriveWealth Accounts will be directed to DriveWealth. Should the level of Customer support required by DriveWealth directly attributable to Issuer become burdensome, DriveWealth will notify Issuer and the Parties will in good faith negotiate an associated support fee. 


Page 19 of 21



c.Securities Dividend, Interest, Principal Payments, Return of Capital and Other Corporate Cash Flows – to the extent Issuer requests DriveWealth to process and distribute corporate cash flows, Issuer will be charged the following fees for processing corporate cash flows and any resultant tax documents or Customer inquiries. Note that such fees only apply to the processing of these actions for Securities, not those publicly traded securities for which such actions are processed via DTCC. 

i.[TBD] 

d.Securities Review for Purchase by IRA Accounts – to the extent Issuer requests the Securities to be available for purchase by IRA accounts, a one-time fee will be charged per Offering identified on Schedule A for evaluation, which may or may not result in approval. 

i.[TBD] 

e.Supplemental Tax Document Processing – to the extent Issuer requests document processing services beyond the activities set forth in Schedule B-1, including, but not limited to, processing document corrections based on reclassification of disbursements or additional processing of tax documents (e.g., corrected 1099s), additional fees may be charged at the time and at the rate incurred by DriveWealth plus overhead. 

f.Securities Transfers and Secondary Transactions – to the extent Issuer requests that DriveWealth maintain any restrictions on the transfer of beneficial ownership, or allows for transfers of its Securities, DriveWealth will, in good faith, attempt to prevent transfers of the Securities without Issuer’s consent, except as required by or pursuant to operation of Law.  DriveWealth understands that Issuer plans to conduct regular auctions (each an “Auction”) for its Securities facilitated by one or more third party-broker dealers (each, a “Third-Party B/D”), where Customers will have the ability to buy and sell the Securities. At the end of any such Auction, the Third-Party B/D will deliver, either directly or through the Rally Rd.TM platform, as the case may be, a file of secondary transactions (“File”) for DriveWealth to process, under separate agreement with that Third-Party B/D. Issuer will be charged fees for processing such transfers of book entry shares from one DriveWealth Customer account to another DriveWealth Customer account, or back to Issuer through an issuer redemption or similar program. The initial fee for processing these secondary transactions will be the number of hours of work by DriveWealth or its agents on such Files, with a minimum charge of 30 minutes per File processed, multiplied by the Hourly fee for additional DriveWealth Services set forth in this agreement for non-executive operational support. Should the level of support required by DriveWealth to process Auction transactions become burdensome, DriveWealth will notify Issuer and the Parties will in good faith negotiate an updated fee for DriveWealth’s services and or fees for DriveWealth to automate some or all of these services, as well as any necessary alternative trading system (“ATS”) set-up fees. 

g.DTCC eligibility filing on UW Source – to the extent Issuer requests that DriveWealth file for DTCC eligibility using the DTCC UW Source application, a one-time fee will be charged per Security identified on Schedule A for submission, which may or may not result in DTCC approval. For DTCC eligibility applications outside of the UW Source application, this fee will increase to reflect DTCCs higher fee for applications submitted outside of UW Source. Additional fees apply for DriveWealth to refile a DTCC submission. Issuer is responsible for obtaining a CUSIP for its Offering prior to the DTCC submission, and providing that CUSIP, finalized offering documents (SEC qualified for Regulation A) if applicable, and a legal opinion to DriveWealth for submission to DTCC. 

h.Hourly fee for additional DriveWealth Services - $100 per hour per person involved, other than non-executive operational staff which will be billed at $50 per hour per such person, plus ordinary and customary travel expenses, if applicable, in providing services that are either not explicitly provided for in the Agreement or are not the then-standard DriveWealth services.  Services to which such fees apply include, but are not limited to, non-standard reporting, non-standard closing processes, additional or differentiated system features and any other form of additional services. Any third-party fees incurred in the provision of such services will be passed to Issuer. Such additional services will only be undertaken with the mutual agreement of both parties. 

i.Issuer Branding - To the extent permissible under the Applicable Laws and Rules, Issuer may request in writing that DriveWealth send confirmations with Issuer's branding. DriveWealth will pass through additional fees for such branding customization.    


Page 20 of 21



7.Fees to DriveWealth Accounts and Customers.

5.resolutions of the Manager and the Board of Directors of the Manager, with respect to the Offering. 

We have also examined the Offering Statement, forms of subscription agreement and series designation filed with the Commission and such other certificates of public officials, such certificates of executive officers of the Company and such other records, agreements, documents and instruments as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed:  (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the legal capacity of all natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or other copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents, (v) that all records and other information made available to us by the Company on which we have relied are complete in all material respects, (vi) that the statements of the Company contained in the Offering Statement are true and correct as to all factual matters stated therein, (vii) that the Offering Statement will be and remain qualified under the Securities Act, and (viii) that the Company will receive the required consideration for the issuance of such Interests at or prior to the issuance thereof. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied solely upon the above-referenced certificates or comparable documents and other documents delivered pursuant thereto, have not performed or had performed any independent research of public records and have assumed that certificates of or other comparable documents from public officials dated prior to the date hereof remain accurate as of the date hereof.
