Best Efforts Offering of up to 88,970 Non-Voting Membership Interests
 
Public Shrek Royalties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company” or the “company”), is offering (this “offering”), on a best efforts basis, up to $889,700 of our non-voting membership interests (the “interests”), at an offering price of $10.00 per interest.
 
We expect to offer interests in this offering until we raise the maximum amount being offered. The maximum offering period is 12 months from the date of commencement, but we reserve the right to terminate this offering for any reason at any time prior to the initial closing. Subscriptions may be accepted on a rolling basis, meaning not all investors would receive their interests on the same date, and the initial closing, any subsequent closing(s) and the final closing of this offering will occur on a date or dates, as applicable, determined by the company in its discretion. This offering will commence within 48 hours of qualification by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). If any of the interests offered remain unsold as of the final closing, such interests shall be issued to Otis Wealth, Inc. (the “manager,” “our manager” or “Otis”), in full satisfaction of its advance, if any, and the true-up as described in this offering circular. There is no minimum number of interests or dollar amount that needs to be sold as a condition of any closing of this offering. Subscriptions, once received, can be rejected or reduced by us. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders” and “Securities Being Offered” for additional information.
 
To purchase interests, a prospective investor must register as a user of the web- and mobile app-based platform called Public.com (the “Public Platform”) operated by Public Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Public”). The minimum investment amount per investor is $10.00 (one interest), and the maximum investment is for interests representing 20% of the total interests, however, we can waive or modify the minimum or maximum purchase restriction on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. In determining whether to waive or modify such minimum and maximum purchase restrictions, we may consider a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, offering demand following qualification, factors regarding the particular investor, market conditions and business developments. To subscribe, a prospective investor agrees to transfer funds via the Public Platform from such investor’s settled cash in the investor’s brokerage account on the Public Platform. We have not engaged an escrow agent for this offering. Funds will remain in the investor’s brokerage account on the Public Platform until a closing is commenced by our company.
 
i

With respect to any closing, investors will be notified by email message and/or a notification through the Public Platform. Upon a closing, investor subscription funds will be transferred to our company, and investors will receive their interests. The initial closing will occur at such time as determined by our company in its sole discretion, and additional closings, if any, will occur throughout the offering period as determined in the sole discretion of our company. Because timing of the initial closing, any subsequent closing(s) and the final closing will be driven by demand for this offering, our company cannot anticipate the date of any particular closing.
 
A closing is expected to take a minimum of several days, and up to two weeks. For a closing, we will review the subscription documentation from prospective investors, contact prospective investors for additional information if necessary then provide subscription documentation to Dalmore Group, LLC (the “Broker”) for review. Upon completion of review by the Broker, a closing will occur with respect to all investors not rejected following review.
 
At or before the final closing, our manager or its affiliates may purchase interests sold in this offering for the same price as all other investors. There are no limitations on the number of interests that may be purchased by our manager or its affiliates. In addition, the asset sellers may purchase a portion of the interests in this offering.

The Broker will be acting as our executing broker in connection with this offering and will be paid by our manager the Brokerage Fee of 1% of the amount raised, and not out of the proceeds of this offering. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders—Fees and Expenses.”
 
 
(2)
This amount does not include the Brokerage Fee or estimated offering expenses in an aggregate amount of approximately $27,030.46, all of which will be paid by Otis rather than from the net proceeds of this offering.
 
The interests being offered do not include the right to vote except in certain limited circumstances as required by the company’s operating agreement. See “Securities Being Offered” for additional information.
 
Pursuant to the company’s operating agreement, secondary transfers are subject to certain restrictions and the discretion of our manager to waive those restrictions. Our manager may refuse a transfer by an interest holder if such transfer would (i) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (provided that our manager may waive such limitations); (ii) adversely affect our company or subject our company, our manager or any of their affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause our company to be disqualified as a limited liability company; (iii) subject our company, our manager or any of their affiliates to any tax to which they would not otherwise be subject; (iv) require registration of the interests or our company, our manager or any of their affiliates under any securities laws of the United States, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; (v) cause the underlying asset to be deemed “plan assets” for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and regulations thereunder, as amended (“ERISA”); (vi) result in a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of our company or result in a termination of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or (vii) violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferor. Furthermore, as our interests are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), transfers of our interests may only be effected pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act and permitted by applicable state securities laws. As a result, investors may not be able to resell or otherwise alienate their interests in certain circumstances.
  
ii

Provided that any electronic alternative trading system registered with the Commission and FINRA on Form ATS (an “ATS”) on which interests are listed for trading requires from interest holders such representations and agreements as described in the operating agreement, interests may be transferred via such ATS. Public intends to launch an interface on the Public Platform that enables investors to buy and sell their holdings via the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System (the “PPEX ATS”) operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”). As of the date of this offering circular, the PPEX ATS will be the sole trading platform approved by our manager for secondary transfers of our interests (for the avoidance of doubt, transfers may occur outside of a trading platform). We will notify interest holders of approval of any additional trading platform(s) by making a filing with the Commission of the type applicable as of the time such change is made and by sending an email message or a message through the Public Platform, or by posting a message on the Public website.
  
To obtain approval for any transfer not facilitated by the PPEX ATS, interest holders should contact us by sending us an email message to alts@public.com prior to any voluntary transfer or within 30 days of any involuntary transfer and provide sufficient information to allow our company’s legal counsel to make a determination that the transfer would not result in any of the scenarios described above. For a transfer in the event of death of the interest holder, notice should be given by a duly authorized representative of the estate of such interest holder and include proof of legal authority and valid assignment. See “Securities Being Offered—Transfer Restrictions” for more information.
 
Our company will purchase from OWI 25% of the right, title and interest of composer Harry Gregson-Williams, along with a security interest, in the songwriter’s life of rights share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works (which we refer to collectively as the underlying asset).
 
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements for this offering circular and future filings after this offering.
 
An investment in our interests involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” for a description of some of the risks that should be considered before investing in our interests.
 
Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or your 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 www.investor.gov.
 
THE COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF ANY 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.

INFORMATION 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 our company, our manager, Public and the Public Platform; and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express our 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 we nor our manager can guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting our company, our manager, Public or the Public Platform will be as currently anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and/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.

SUMMARY
 
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this offering circular. 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 our interests. All references in this offering circular to “$” or “dollars” are to United States dollars.
 
The Company
 
Overview
 
Our company is a limited liability company formed on September 12, 2022 pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, or the LLC Act.
 
Our manager, Otis Wealth, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated on October 4, 2018 (which we refer to as our manager), believes that alternative assets have been a cornerstone of wealth accumulation. However, barriers are high, and quality access has been limited to a tiny fraction of the global economy. We believe that those who do have access to top-quality alternative investments are faced with a lack of transparency, operational overhead and high minimums and fees from established gatekeepers. The costs for investing in this asset class are high and transaction volumes are low, with few options for liquidity, resulting in longer holding periods. As a result, the opportunity to build wealth remains inaccessible.
 
This offering is part of the proposed solution to this problem. Public Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the parent company of our manager, is creating a platform to invest in NFTs, art, collectibles and more, through one or more affiliated issuers, alongside traditional equities and crypto. The goal is to unlock every type of alternative asset and give investors true uncorrelated diversification in a modern portfolio. For the avoidance of doubt, investors in this offering are not purchasing securities offered by Public and will have no interest in the activities or business of any entity other than our company by virtue of participating in this offering.
 
Our strategy is to acquire the underlying asset, hold such asset for an indefinite period of time and then sell such asset at a premium over our acquisition price so that investors in our company can make a return on their investment. Additionally, interest holders may be able to realize a return on their investment by selling their interests on the secondary market, if an active market for our interests develops.
  
The Underlying Asset
 
Our company will purchase from OWI 25% of the right, title and interest of composer Harry Gregson-Williams, along with a security interest, in the songwriter’s life of rights share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works. See “The Underlying Asset—The Underlying Asset” for additional information.
1

    Summary: The underlying asset is a 25% interest in the catalog of musical compositions by Gregson-Williams set forth in Exhibit 99.1 (which compositions we refer to as the related works) that earns income from public performance of the award-winning Shrek media franchise, including films, TV specials and other related content (which we refer to as the underlying content). The catalog generates royalties when the underlying content airs on TV and is streamed online and when the related works play in the corresponding soundtracks, on Shrek-themed theme park rides or are used in other TV, film or commercial programming. The underlying asset is principally the right to receive payments from any source generated with respect to the related works for the life of the rights associated with the related works. The underlying asset includes a security interest in the songwriter’s share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works, as well as a 25% interest in any and all existing and potential causes of action, including, but not limited to, actions for infringement, underpayment or non-payment of royalties. The underlying asset does not include ownership or control of the copyright interest in the related works. We do not believe any of the foregoing positively or negatively impacts the value of the underlying asset or the ability to receive royalty revenues. The foregoing rights will be established for our company pursuant to an assignment of interest, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.2 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, to be entered into between our company and OWI, as asset seller.
    Shrek Franchise Cultural Significance: Shrek is a media franchise created by DreamWorks Animation, loosely based on William Steig’s 1990 picture book of the same name. The franchise features four computer-animated films: Shrek (2001), Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek the Third (2007) and Shrek Forever After (2010). A short 4-D film, Shrek 4-D, which originally debuted for a theme park ride, was released in 2003. The franchise also includes two television specials, the Christmas television special Shrek the Halls (2007) and the Halloween television special Scared Shrekless (2010). In May 2010, The New York Times described the principal Shrek characters as “brilliantly realized” and said, “nearly a decade after the first Shrek film they remain as vital and engaging fusions of image, personality and voice as any characters in the history of animation.” The series was a financial success, becoming the 17th highest-grossing film franchise of all time and the second highest-grossing animated franchise. A fifth Shrek feature film, to potentially to be called Shrek 5, is anticipated.
    Past Financial Highlights: As of July 2022, the underlying asset (i.e., the 25% interest in the catalog of related works) had generated $77,986 in royalty revenues in the preceding twelve months and an average of $60,313 per year in revenues in the preceding three years.
    Operating Partners: The underlying asset relies on the following with respect to the aggregation, audit, enforcement and payment of royalty revenues earned from the underlying asset (which we refer to as operating partners): Broadcast Music, Inc. (which we refer to as BMI), Royalty Exchange Inc. (which we refer to as Royalty Exchange) and, to a lesser extent, Gregson-Williams.
    Comparable Sale: A different 25% of the right, title and interest of composer Gregson-Williams’ interest, along with a security interest, in the songwriter’s share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works sold for $888,889 on Royalty Exchange in August 2022.
Manager
 
Otis Wealth, Inc. is the manager of our company. Our manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of Public. Public owns and operates the Public Platform, through which the interests will be sold.
 
2

At or before the final closing, our manager or its affiliates may purchase interests sold in this offering for the same price as all other investors. There are no limitations on the number of interests that may be purchased by our manager or its affiliates. Our manager may sell its interests from time to time after closing of this offering. Our manager has no present intention to sell its interests, and any future sales would be based upon our potential need for capital, market prices of the interests at the time of a proposed sale and other factors that a reasonable investor might consider in connection with the sale of securities similar to our interests.
 
Investment Committee
 
Our manager assembled an investment committee, or the Investment Committee, compromised of employees of Public People LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Public, acting on behalf of Public, to assist our manager in evaluating the underlying asset prior to the purchase (including reviewing due diligence materials), managing the underlying asset and to advise our manager and certain other matters associated with our business. The members of the Investment Committee are not and will not be managers or officers of our company and will not have any fiduciary or other duties to the interest holders of the company.

In determining whether to waive or modify such minimum and maximum purchase restrictions, we may consider a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, offering demand following qualification, factors regarding the particular investor, market conditions and business developments. Subscriptions, once received, can be rejected or reduced by us prior to acceptance.

Worldwide
  Interests will be offered worldwide, provided that we may elect not to sell shares in particular jurisdictions for regulatory or other reasons. No sales of interests will be made anywhere in the world prior to the qualification of the offering circular by the Commission in the United States and issuance by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, of a no-objection letter. All interests will be offered everywhere in the world at the same U.S. dollar price that is set forth in this offering circular.
     
Limited Voting Rights
  The interests have very limited voting rights, only on those matters, if any, submitted to the members for a vote and to vote, as a single class, to remove and replace the manager for “cause” following a final judgment of fraud by our manager. Any member that beneficially owns 10% or more of the interests (excluding shares beneficially owned by Otis) may irrevocably limit or eliminate its voting rights pursuant to our Operating Agreement.
     
Risk Factors
  Investing in the interests involves risks. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in the interests.
     
Use of Proceeds
  We expect to receive gross proceeds from this offering of up to $889,700. Otis will pay all expenses of this offering, including fees and expenses associated with qualification of this offering under Regulation A and all fees and expenses of the Broker. Therefore, the gross proceeds from this offering will equal the net proceeds from this offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this offering to acquire the underlying asset, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Otis will advance to the company any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of this offering, together with any unsold interests, if any, will be used to repay the Otis advance, if any, and pay Otis the true-up.
     
Closings
  The company may close the entire offering at one time or may have multiple closings. Throughout this offering circular, we have assumed multiple closings and refer to the “initial closing” as the first such closing and the “final closing” as the last such closing. The underlying asset will be acquired by the company following the final closing of this offering. Subscriptions may be accepted on a rolling basis. If any of the interests offered remain unsold as of the final closing, such interests shall be issued to Otis in full satisfaction of its advance, if any, and the true-up as described in this offering Circular. The maximum offering period is 12 months from the date of commencement.

Until there is a closing with respect to a given investor, subscription funds will remain in the brokerage account of the investor, but will be earmarked for investment in this offering. With respect to any closing, investors will be notified by email message and/or a notification through the Public platform. Upon a closing, investor subscription funds will be transferred to our company, and investors will receive their interests. The initial closing will occur at such time as determined by our company in its sole discretion, and additional closings, if any, will occur throughout the offering period as determined in the sole discretion of our company. Because timing of the initial closing, any subsequent closing(s) and the final closing will be driven by demand for this offering, our company cannot anticipate the date of any particular closing. A closing is expected to take a minimum of several days, and up to two weeks. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders—Plan of Distribution” for more information.
     
Termination of the Offering
  We reserve the right to terminate this offering for any reason at any time prior to the initial closing.

Transfer Restrictions and Secondary Trading

 
Pursuant to the company’s operating agreement, secondary transfers are subject to certain restrictions and the discretion of our manager to waive those restrictions. Our manager may refuse a transfer by an interest holder if such transfer would (i) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (provided that our manager may waive such limitations); (ii) adversely affect our company or subject our company, our manager or any of their affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause our company to be disqualified as a limited liability company; (iii) subject our company, our manager or any of their affiliates to any tax to which they would not otherwise be subject; (iv) require registration of the interests or our company, our manager or any of their affiliates under any securities laws of the United States, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; (v) cause the underlying asset to be deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA; (vi) result in a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of our company or result in a termination of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or (vii) violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferor. Furthermore, as our interests are not registered under the Securities Act, transfers of our interests may only be effected pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act and permitted by applicable state securities laws. As a result, investors may not be able to resell or otherwise alienate their interests in certain circumstances.

Provided that any ATS on which interests are listed for trading requires from interest holders such representations and agreements as described in the operating agreement, interests may be transferred via such ATS. Public intends to launch an interface on the Public Platform that enables investors to buy and sell their holdings via the PPEX operated by North Capital. As of the date of this offering circular, the PPEX ATS will be the sole trading platform approved by our manager for secondary transfers of our interests (for the avoidance of doubt, transfers may occur outside of a trading platform). We will notify interest holders of approval of any additional trading platform(s) by making a filing with the Commission of the type applicable as of the time such change is made and by sending an email message or a message through the Public Platform, or by posting a message on the Public website.

To obtain approval for any transfer not facilitated by the PPEX ATS, interest holders should contact us by sending us an email message to alts@public.com prior to any voluntary transfer or within 30 days of any involuntary transfer and provide sufficient information to allow our company’s legal counsel to make a determination that the transfer would not result in any of the scenarios described above. For a transfer in the event of death of the interest holder, notice should be given by a duly authorized representative of the estate of such interest holder and include proof of legal authority and valid assignment.

See “Securities Being Offered—Transfer Restrictions” for more information.
     
Distributions
  We expect our manager to distribute any Free Cash Flow generated from the underlying asset on a quarterly basis in the following order of priority: (a) to create such reserves as our manager deems necessary, in its sole discretion; and (b) thereafter by way of distribution (i) 95% to holders of the interests (net of corporate income taxes applicable to the company), which may include our manager or any of its affiliates, and (ii) 5% to our asset manager, Otis (which amount may be waived by our asset manager in its sole discretion). However, our manager may change the timing of distributions or determine that no distributions shall be made in its sole discretion. There may be an additional distribution upon the sale of the underlying asset, at which point we plan to pay a liquidating distribution. There can be no assurance as to the timing of any distribution or that we will pay any distributions at all. See “Securities Being Offered—Distribution Rights” for more information.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
The offering size equals the sum of (a) the estimated purchase price that Otis anticipates paying for the underlying asset, $868,000, plus (b) approximately 2.5% of such amount, or $21,700, as an upfront payment or “true-up” payable to Otis, which is intended to be reasonable compensation for Otis’ services, capital commitment and outlay (if applicable) in sourcing and acquiring the underlying asset, as well as our manager’s agreement to pay all fees, costs and expenses of, or incurred in connection with the operation of, our company. The initial price per interest was randomly determined by Otis and is calculated by dividing (a) this offering size by (b) 88,970, which is the maximum number of interests that will be sold in this offering (or issued to Otis if any remain unsold).

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 our investment objectives will be achieved or that a secondary market would ever develop for our interests, whether via the Public Platform, via third-party registered broker-dealers or otherwise. The risks described in this section should not be considered an exhaustive list of the risks that prospective investors should consider before investing in our interests. Prospective investors should obtain their own legal and tax advice prior to making an investment in our interests and should be aware that an investment in our 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 our interests.

Our company was recently formed, has not generated any revenues and has no operating history upon which prospective investors may evaluate their performance. No guarantee can be given that our company will achieve its investment objectives, the value of the underlying asset will increase or the underlying asset will generate revenues.
 
The offering amount will exceed the value of the underlying asset, and, if the underlying asset is sold before it appreciates or generates income, then investors will not receive the amount of their initial investment back.
 
The size of this offering will exceed the purchase price of the underlying asset as at the date of this offering (as the proceeds of this offering in excess of the purchase price of the underlying asset will be used to repay advances to our manager and make the true-up payment). If the underlying asset had to be sold and there had not been substantial appreciation 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 or any additional profits in excess of this amount).
 
The underlying asset may be sold at a loss or at a price that results in a distribution that is below the purchase price of the interests, or no distribution at all.
 
Any sale of the underlying asset could be effected at an inopportune time, at a loss and or at a price that would result in a distribution of cash that is less than the price paid by investors to purchase our interests. We intend to hold the underlying asset for an extended period of time and may choose to sell the underlying asset opportunistically if market conditions are favorable, which we believe is necessary to achieve optimal returns. Although the value of the underlying asset may decline in the future, we have no current intention nor economic incentive to sell the underlying asset at a loss. In the future, we may elect to do so if we determine that such a transaction would be necessary to satisfy our fiduciary obligations to our members. Lastly, circumstances may arise that may compel us to sell the underlying asset at an inopportune time and potentially at a loss, such as if we face litigation, regulatory challenges or if Otis ceases to exist. Investors should be prepared to hold their interests for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the interests can ever be resold or that the underlying asset can ever be sold or that any sale would occur at a price that would result in a distribution of more than the initial purchase price per interest.
 
The timing and potential price of a sale of the underlying asset are impossible to predict, so investors need to be prepared to own the interests for an uncertain or even indefinite period of time.
 
8

We intend to hold the underlying asset for an indefinite period, although the underlying asset will be perpetually available for sale following this offering and we will evaluate any reasonable third party offers to acquire the underlying asset. In addition, the occurrence of certain events may compel us to sell the underlying asset. Accordingly, a risk of investing in the interests is the unpredictability of the timing of a sale of the underlying asset and the unpredictability of funds being available for cash distributions, and investors should be prepared for both the possibility they will not receive a cash distribution for many years, if ever, and the contrary possibility that they may receive a cash distribution at any time following the completion of this offering. An investment in the interests is unsuitable for investors that are not prepared to hold their interests for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the interests can ever be resold or that the underlying asset can be sold within any specific timeframe, or at all.
 
Our success depends in large part upon our manager and its ability to execute our business plan.
 
The successful operation of our company is in part dependent on the ability of our manager and asset manager to source, acquire and manage the underlying asset. As our manager has only been in existence since October 2018, it has limited operating history that would evidence its ability to source, acquire, manage and utilize the underlying asset.
 
The success of our company will be highly dependent on the expertise and performance of our manager and its team, its expert network and other investment professionals (which include third-party experts) to source, acquire and manage the underlying asset. There can be no assurance that these individuals will continue to be associated with our manager or asset manager. The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on the underlying asset, in particular, its ongoing management and use to support the investment of holders of interests.
 
Potential breach of the security measures of the Public Platform could have a material adverse effect on our company and the value of your investment.
 
The highly automated nature of the Public Platform through which potential investors 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 Public Platform processes certain confidential information about investors. While we intend to take commercially reasonable measures to protect our confidential information and maintain appropriate cybersecurity, the security measures of the Public Platform, our company, our manager, Public or our service providers (including the Broker) could be breached. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to the Public 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 us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity, or loss of the proprietary nature of our manager’s and our company’s trade secrets. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in the Public Platform software are exposed and exploited, the relationships between our company, investors and users could be severely damaged, and our company, our manager or Public could incur significant liability or have their attention significantly diverted from utilization of the underlying asset, which could have a material negative impact on the value of the 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, we, the third-party hosting used by the Public 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 or service providers within the industry, including insurance companies, to lose confidence in the effectiveness of the secure nature of the Public Platform. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation and the Public Platform, and we could lose investors and service providers. This would impair our ability to achieve our objectives.
 
9

The Public Platform is highly technical and may be at risk of malfunctioning.
 
The Public Platform is a complex system with components and highly complex software, and our business is dependent upon Public’s ability to prevent system interruptions to operation of the Public Platform. The Public Platform software may now, or in the future, contain undetected errors, bugs or vulnerabilities, which may only be discovered after the code has been released or may never be discovered. Problems with or limitations of the software, misconfigurations of the systems or unintended interactions between systems may cause downtime that would impact the availability of the Public Platform. The Public Platform relies on third-party datacenters for operation. If such datacenters fail, users of the Public Platform may experience downtime. Any errors, bugs, vulnerabilities or sustained or repeated outages could reduce the attractiveness of the Public Platform to investors, cause a negative experience for investors or result in negative publicity and unfavorable media coverage, damage to our reputation, loss of Public Platform users, loss of revenue, liability for damages, regulatory inquiries or other proceedings, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.
 
Our manager may sell its interests post-closing, which may result in a reduction in value of your interests if there are too many interests available and not enough demand for those interests.
 
Our manager may arrange for some of the interests it holds to be sold by a broker pursuant to a “10b5-1 trading plan.” Our manager has no present intention to sell its interests, and any future sales would be based upon our potential need for capital, market prices of the interests at the time of a proposed sale and other factors that a reasonable investor might consider in connection with the sale of securities similar to our interests. There is a risk that a sale by our manager may result in too many interests being available for resale and the price of the relevant interests decreasing as supply outweighs demand.
 
Non-compliance with regulations may result in the abrupt cessation of business operations, rescission of any contracts entered into, an early termination of any interests sold or, if we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Advisers Act, the liquidation and winding up of any interests sold.
 
The Broker is acting as our executing broker in connection with this offering. The Broker is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and will be registered in each state where offering and sale of the interests will occur prior to the launch of this offering, and it is anticipated that the interests will be offered and sold only in states where the Broker is registered as a broker-dealer. If a regulatory authority determines that our manager, which is not a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act or any state securities laws, has itself engaged in brokerage activities, our manager may need to stop operating, and therefore, we will not have an entity managing the underlying asset. In addition, if our manager is required to register as a broker-dealer, there is a risk that any interests offered and sold while our manager was not registered may be subject to a right of rescission, which may result in the early termination of the company.
 
Furthermore, we are not registered and will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act/Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, and neither our manager nor our asset manager is or will be registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act, and thus the interests do not have the benefit of the protections of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act. We and our manager have taken the position that the underlying asset is not a “security” within the meaning of the of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act, and thus our assets will be comprised of less than 40% investment securities under the Investment Company Act, and our manager and our asset manager 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 we were to be required to register under the Investment Company Act or our manager were to be required to register under the Investment Advisers Act, it could have a material adverse impact on the results of operations and expenses of the company, and our manager may be forced to liquidate and wind up the company or rescind this offering.
 
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.
 
10

As a Tier 2 issuer under Regulation A, 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.
 
Unpredictable and/or uncontrollable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, could adversely affect our business.
 
Our business could be subject to unpredictable and uncontrollable events, such as earthquakes, power shortages, telecommunications failures, water shortages, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics or pandemics, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and other natural or manmade disasters or business interruptions. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could seriously harm our operations and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. 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 asset and the financial condition of our investors or prospective investors, resulting in reduced demand for this offering and alternative asset classes generally. Moreover, an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak or other public health crisis, such as COVID-19, could adversely affect employees of Public, on which our manager relies to manage the logistics of our business. “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities could also disrupt our operations if employees of Public who cannot perform their responsibilities from home are not able to report to work or carry out necessary actions related to the logistics of our business. 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 . Further, risks related to an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could lead to complete or partial cessation of operations of our sourcing partners for the underlying asset.
 
We could be exposed to losses and/or reputational harm as a result of various claims and lawsuits incidental to the ordinary course of our business.
 
We may become involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable or reasonably possible losses. A determination of the amount of losses, if any, to be recorded or disclosed as a result of these contingencies will be based on a careful analysis of each individual exposure with, in some cases, the assistance of outside legal counsel. The amount of losses recorded or disclosed for such contingencies may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or a change in settlement strategy.
 
Risks Related to the Entertainment Industry
 
If there is a downturn in the entertainment industry or the economy in general, then the value of the underlying asset is likely to decrease.
 
Given the concentrated nature of the underlying asset, any industry downturn is likely to impact the value of the underlying asset, and consequently the value of the interests. Furthermore, as the underlying asset is a collectible item, the value may be impacted if an economic downturn occurs and there is less disposable income for individuals to invest in similar assets. In the event of a downturn in the industry, the value of the underlying asset is likely to decrease.
 
The global economy and financial markets and political conditions of various countries can adversely affect the supply of and demand for entertainment, and unpredictable and/or uncontrollable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, may cause a disruption in the entertainment industry.
 
11

The entertainment industry may be influenced by the overall strength and stability of the global economy and financial markets of various countries, although any correlation may not be immediately evident. In addition, global political conditions and world events may affect our business through their effect on the economies of various countries, as well as on the willingness of potential buyers to purchase means to consume entertainment in the wake of economic uncertainty. Accordingly, weakness in the global economy and financial markets of various countries may cause a downturn in the entertainment industry, which is likely to impact the value of the underlying asset, and consequently the value of the interests.
 
The COVID-19 outbreak has caused unprecedented levels of global uncertainty and may impact the value of royalties. We expect the COVID-19 outbreak will result in low transaction volume until confidence in the global economy is restored. The extent and duration of this disruption cannot be accurately estimated, and the entertainment industry may take a significant amount of time to recover.
 
The volatility in prices for royalties may result in downward price pressure and adversely affect our objectives.
 
The entertainment royalty market has been subject to volatility in demand in recent periods. Demand for high value royalties depends to a large extent on general, economic, political and social conditions in a given market as well as the tastes of the consumer resulting in changes in the types of royalties that are most sought after. Volatility in demand may lead to volatility in the value of royalties, which may result in further downward price pressure. 
 
The underlying asset is hard to value, and any valuations obtained are not guarantees of realizable price.
 
Revenue from the underlying asset is difficult to value. Valuation of the underlying asset will be based upon the subjective approach taken by the members of our manager’s expert network, valuation experts appointed by the asset seller or other data provided by third parties (e.g., auction results and previous sales history). Our manager sources data from reputable valuation providers in the industry; however, it may rely on the accuracy of the underlying data without any means of detailed verification. Consequently, valuations may be uncertain.
 
The value of the underlying asset can go down as well as up. Valuations are not guarantees of realizable price and do not necessarily represent the price at which our interests may be sold on the Public Platform, and the value of the underlying asset may be materially affected by a number of factors outside of our control, including any volatility in the economic markets and the condition of the underlying asset.
 
Our manager relies on third-party assessments of the market for the types of assets to be acquired, or the value of the specific assets. None of these assessments have been prepared in connection with this offering circular. 
 
Included in this offering circular are references to reports and assessments created by third parties which our manager has relied upon for determining the potential market and current value of particular assets. We have not independently verified the information contained in those reports and assessments, and none were prepared in connection with this offering circular. The references should not be taken as an endorsement of our offering by those third parties.
 
Data protection, security, privacy, and other measures required by government and industry may not be sufficient to prevent security breaches.
Government and industry-specific requirements seek to protect data security and data privacy and often call for companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. Significant security breaches and similar events could erode investor or user confidence and/or bring new and potentially burdensome regulation.
Income generated by entertainment royalty rights may be reduced if the entertainment industry fails to grow or streaming revenue fails to grow at a sufficient rate to offset download and physical sales declines.
12

Digital entertainment consumed legally has rapidly grown since the early 2000s, and revenue from downloads and streaming services have surged, with streaming revenue experiencing multi-year growth. There can be no assurances that this growth pattern will persist or that revenue will grow at a rate sufficient to offset declines in physical sales, or that changes in streaming models will not negatively impact income generated from entertainment royalty rights. A decline in the entertainment industry is likely to lead to reduced levels of revenue and operating income generated by the entertainment business. There are also a variety of factors that could cause the prices in the entertainment industry to be reduced, including, among others, changes in consumption during a global pandemic and fear for economic downturns, price competition from various forms of physical and digital formats, the negotiating leverage of retailers and content distributors such as streaming platforms and television networks, the increased costs of doing business with content distributors as a result of complying with operating procedures that are unique to their needs and any associated changes.
Digital piracy may lead to decreased sales in the entertainment industry and affect our ability to receive income from royalty rights.
The combined effect of the decreasing cost of electronic and computer equipment and related technology such as the conversion of various forms of entertainment into digital formats have made it easier for consumers to obtain and create unauthorized copies of content. Piracy will have a negative effect on revenues attributable to the underlying asset. In addition, while consumer demand for the underlying content may increase, so may demand for unauthorized copies of the same underlying content. As the industry shifts further toward a streaming model, piracy may also increase. For example, the practice of “stream-ripping,” where websites or software programs enable end users to obtain an unauthorized copy of content, is a growing practice in parts of the world with high mobile data costs. The impact of digital piracy on legitimate entertainment sales is hard to quantify, but we believe that illegal file-sharing and other forms of unauthorized activity have a substantial negative impact on sales and on the corresponding royalty income. The entertainment industry is working to control this problem in a variety of ways, including by litigation, lobbying governments for new, stronger copyright protection laws and more stringent enforcement of current laws, through graduated response programs achieved through cooperation with internet service providers and legislation being advanced or considered in many countries, through technological measures and by enabling legitimate new media business models. However, we do not know whether such measures will be effective, and if such measures are not effective, our royalty income derived from our royalty rights may decrease.
Organized industrial piracy may lead to decreased sales and affect the ability to receive revenues from the underlying asset.
The global organized commercial piracy trade is a significant threat to content and entertainment industries. Unauthorized copies and piracy have contributed to the decrease in the volume of legitimate sales and may have an adverse impact on our ability to receive revenues from the underlying asset.
Changes in technology may reduce revenues from entertainment royalties.
The entertainment industry is dependent in part on technological developments, including access to and selection and viability of new technologies, and is subject to potential pressure from competitors because of technological developments. For example, the entertainment industry may be further adversely affected by technological developments that facilitate the piracy of content, such as internet peer-to-peer file-sharing activity, by an inability to enforce intellectual property rights in digital environments and by a failure to develop successful business models applicable to a digital environment. An industry shift to streaming, including the impact of ad-supported streaming services, some of which may be able to avail themselves of “safe harbor” defenses against copyright infringement actions under copyright laws, may also limit the entertainment industry’s ability to receive income from royalty rights. Due to such “safe harbor” defenses, revenue from ad-supported services may not fully reflect increases in consumption of content. In addition, the entertainment industry is currently dependent on a small number of streaming platforms, which allows such services to significantly influence the prices that can be charged in connection with the distribution of content. This trend may continue, which could further increase negotiating leverage and put pressure on prices, ultimately decreasing the income we will receive from royalty rights.
Risks Related to the Underlying Asset
13

 
There is currently no insurance available for entertainment royalties.
There is currently no insurance available for entertainment royalties, and insurance may never be available from traditional providers. Accordingly, until traditional insurance is available for the underlying asset, protection of the applicable rights is solely dependent on our manager, and thus dependent on the expertise and performance of our manager and its team. See “The Underlying Asset—No Insurance.”
Failure to obtain, maintain, protect and/or enforce our rights could substantially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
The success of our company depends on our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and/or enforce our intellectual property rights and rights to receive payments from the underlying content. The measures that we take to obtain, maintain, protect and/or enforce our rights, including, if necessary, litigation or proceedings before governmental authorities and administrative bodies, may be ineffective, expensive and time-consuming, and, despite such measures, we may not be able to enforce royalty collection on the underlying asset. Additionally, changes in law may be implemented, or changes in interpretation of such laws may occur, that may affect our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and/or enforce the rights relating to the underlying asset. Moreover, with entertainment royalty rights, it is possible that, despite our due diligence efforts, there could be successful challenges by third parties to the ownership of a particular copyright or royalty stream, in which case the value of the underlying asset might be significantly less valuable or have no value. Failure to obtain, maintain, protect and/or enforce our rights could harm adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.
The original seller of the underlying asset does not owe any fiduciary duties to us or our investors, and they have no obligation to enhance the value of the underlying content or disclose information to our investors.
The original seller of the underlying asset has no obligation to enhance the value of the underlying asset. Neither the composer of the underlying content nor others holding intellectual property rights relating to the underlying content owe any fiduciary duties to our company or our investors. Our investors will have no individual recourse directly against the composer or other intellectual property rights owners, either any applicable governing documents or under state or federal securities laws. Our company has contractual recourse, however, against the original intellectual property rights holder (the composer) with respect to payment of any royalties earned by the underlying asset with respect to reproduction of the underlying content.
We are dependent on our operating partners for the collection and disbursement of revenues from the underlying asset.
We are reliant on our operating partners to audit, collect and distribute to our company the revenues earned by the underlying asset with respect to reproduction of the underlying content. If the operating partners are unable to collect all revenues that are or there is a dispute in amounts owed, we may have limited recourse against them. We may have limited ability to change our operating partners if we are not satisfied with their level of service. 
If our operating partners default on their payment obligations under the underlying asset, there can be no assurances that our company will have adequate resources, if any, to satisfy any obligations to us under the underlying asset. It may be necessary, therefore, for our manager to pursue remedies against our operating partners. These operating partners may assert that the assignment of the underlying asset by the asset seller did not create an obligation on their part to pay any revenues to us. Moreover, revenues under the underlying asset may be an obligation of our operating partners to us, not obligations to interest holders. Interest holders will have no recourse directly against any operating partner.
Our operating partners may refuse or fail to make payments to us under the underlying asset.
14

Free Cash Flow generated will depend largely on our operating partners making payments of revenue under the underlying asset to our company. An operating partner may dispute amounts to which we believe we are entitled to or may be unwilling or unable to make payments to which we are entitled, including for reasons discussed elsewhere in these risk factors. In either event, our company may become involved in a dispute with our operating partners regarding the payment of such amounts, including possible litigation. Disputes of this nature could harm the relationship between our company and our operating partners and could be costly and time-consuming for us and our manager to pursue. Failure of our operating partners to make payments to us for any reason may adversely affect our business and in particular the value of the underlying asset.
In addition, if an operating partner who may be obligated to make payments to us were to become the subject of a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or a similar proceeding or arrangement under another state, federal or foreign law, our rights and interests under the underlying asset or otherwise may be prejudiced or impaired, perhaps significantly so. In such circumstances, we may be precluded, stayed or otherwise limited in enforcing some or all of our rights under the underlying asset or otherwise and realizing the economic and other benefits contemplated therein.
Failure of our operating partners to adequately protect and enforce the underlying asset could injure their value.
The size of payments from the underlying asset may depend on our operating partners protecting the underlying asset and/or underlying content from infringement (such as counterfeiting and other unauthorized uses of underlying content) and enforcing their right to payments due upon the use of the underlying content. Although our operating partners may seek to protect the underlying content associated with the underlying asset, it may not be possible to detect all instances of copyright infringement. Additionally, where instances of copyright infringement are detected, we cannot guarantee that such instances will be prevented as there may be legal or factual circumstances that give rise to uncertainty as to the validity, scope and enforceability of the underlying asset. We will have no rights under the underlying asset to enforce any rights with respect to the underlying content associated with the underlying asset. Infringement of the underlying asset’s copyright by others could have an adverse effect on the revenues that are received from the underlying asset. If our operating partners were unable to secure, protect, maintain and/or enforce the underlying content, we could lose some or all of the revenues we would have otherwise received from the underlying asset.
It is difficult to estimate the projected future revenues under the underlying asset because such estimation is necessarily based on future events that may or may not occur and that could change based on a number of factors that are hard to control. As a result, at the time of the offering, it is difficult to predict an accurate return on investment or rate of return for an investment our company.
Because the length of the underlying content’s popularity is uncertain, we must estimate the popularity of the underlying content in the future. Due to the inherent uncertainty in predicting the future, it is difficult to estimate with any precision the projected future revenues associated with the underlying asset. These estimations are based on future events that may or may not occur. Additionally, future events change based on a number of factors that are difficult or impossible to control. As a result, it is difficult to predict an accurate return on investment or rate of return of an investment in the underlying asset, and our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted if we receive less revenue from the underlying asset than estimated.
Cash received from the underlying asset will depend upon the continued popularity of the underlying content, and we do not have any rights to require the creator of the underlying content to take any actions to attract, maintain or otherwise generate revenues.
The payments that the underlying asset may generate are contingent on the continued popularity of the underlying content and are not guaranteed. Neither the creator of the underlying content nor any other related parties have any obligation to take any actions to continue to promote the underlying content. In addition, even if the any such party continues to promote the underlying content, there is no guarantee that such activity will increase the value of the underlying asset or generate revenue. We cannot ensure that the underlying content will continue to be popular.
15

Revenues may decrease due to factors outside our control, including operational decisions and other risks faced by our operating partners or entities affiliated with the underlying content. We do not maintain any insurance against such an event, and it is likely that the revenue associated with the underlying asset may decrease.
Our ability to receive revenues from the underlying asset may depend in part on the operational success of our operating partners and/or entities affiliated with the underlying content. Actions taken by our operating partners or such entities may have the result of decreasing the revenues under the underlying asset. Our financial results are indirectly subject to hazards and risks normally associated with the continued success of entertainment royalties. For example, our operating partners may determine to pull certain underlying content from certain distributions for a variety of reasons. If this occurs, revenues under the underlying asset may be adversely affected.
We believe that our ability to receive revenues from the underlying asset depends in part on the reputation of entities affiliated with the underlying content and their ability to be viewed favorably by the public. Such entities in the past received, and we expect that in the future they will continue to receive, media coverage. There can be no assurance that any such entity may not suffer reputational damage in the future, whether as a result of future behavior or otherwise. The popularity of the underlying content is contingent upon a number of factors, including the general public’s view of such entities. Unfavorable publicity regarding such entities could negatively affect the value of the underlying asset. Any negative publicity could damage such entities’ reputations and lead to a decline in popularity, which would decrease the value of the underlying asset.
Copyright or infringement claims related to the underlying asset may materially adversely affect the value of the underlying asset and thus our company.
There is no guarantee that the underlying asset will be free of any claims regarding copyright or infringement, even after considerable due diligence, and such claims may arise after acquisition of the underlying asset. In the event of a copyright or infringement claim against our company, our company may not have recourse against the asset seller or the benefit of insurance, and the value of the underlying asset and thus our company may be diminished. Furthermore, our company and the underlying asset could be adversely affected if the underlying asset was found to have been created without all appropriate consents.
We may be associated with third-party liability and exposed to reputational harm as a result of wrongful actions by certain third parties.
  
The company will assume all of the ownership risks attached to the underlying asset, including third-party liability risks. Therefore, the company may be liable to a third party for any loss or damages incurred by it in connection with the underlying asset. This would be a loss to our company and, therefore, deductible from any income or capital proceeds payable from the underlying asset, in turn adversely affecting the value of the company and the likelihood of any distributions being made by us.
  
Any harm to the brand of the underlying content may adversely impact the value of the underlying asset.
  
The demand for the underlying asset and, therefore, the company may be influenced by the general perception of the underlying content related to underlying asset. In addition, the business practices related to the underlying content may result in the image and value of underlying content being damaged. This in turn may have a negative impact on the value of the underlying asset, consequently, the value of the interests of the company.
  
The value of the underlying asset may depend on a prior owner or association and, therefore, may be out of our control.
  
The value of the underlying asset may be connected with its prior ownership by, or association with, a certain person or group or in connection with certain pop culture events or films. In the event that such person or group loses public affection, then this may adversely impact the value of the underlying asset and, therefore, the company.
  
Title or authenticity claims on the underlying asset may diminish value of the underlying asset.
  
16

There is no guarantee that the underlying asset will be free of any claims regarding title and authenticity (e.g., counterfeit or previously stolen), or that such claims may arise after acquisition of the underlying asset. In the event of a title or authenticity claim against us, we may not have recourse against the asset seller or the benefit of insurance, and the value of the underlying asset and the company may be diminished.
  
Forced sale of the underlying asset at a lower value than when the underlying asset was first acquired may diminish the value of the company.
  
We may be forced to sell the underlying asset (e.g., upon the bankruptcy of our manager), and such a sale may occur at an inopportune time or at a lower value than when the underlying asset was first acquired or at a lower price than the aggregate of costs to purchase the underlying asset and true-up payment to Otis. In such circumstances, the capital proceeds obtained for the underlying asset and, therefore, the return available to investors may be lower than could have been obtained if the underlying asset continued to be held by us and sold at a later date.
  
If we are unable to liquidate the underlying asset at a time when we desire to do so or at all, investors may not receive any return on their investment and may lose their entire investment.
  
Our strategy is to acquire the underlying asset, hold such asset for an indefinite period of time and then sell such asset at a premium over our acquisition price so that investors in our company can make a return on their investment. However, we will pay Otis, out of the proceeds of this offering, a true-up payment to cover expenses incurred in the acquisition of the underlying asset and grant additional equity to Otis for management of the underlying asset and the provision of administrative services. If we are unable to liquidate an asset at a time when we desire to do so or at all, the true-up and dilution may reduce any return that an investor may hope to make.
 
Our company may be subject to litigation or other legal proceedings.
Investment businesses are, in general, comprehensively and intensively regulated under state and federal laws and regulations. Any investigation, litigation, arbitration or other proceeding undertaken by state or federal regulatory agencies or private parties could require spending material amounts for legal and other costs and could have other materially adverse consequences for our company. Furthermore, legal disputes involving any or all of our company, our manager or any of their affiliates may arise from our company’s activities and investments, particularly if one or more of our company’s investments encounter financial or other difficulties during the life of our company. Our company cannot assure investors that it will not be subject to such proceedings, which could have a material adverse impact on our company.
Our Investment Committee does not have any fiduciary or other duties to interest holders.
  
Our manager assembled the Investment Committee, compromised of employees of Public People acting on behalf of Public, to assist our manager with certain matters associated with our business, including monitoring our compliance with the Investment Company Act. The members of the Investment Committee are not and will not be managers or officers of our company and will not have any fiduciary or other duties to the interest holders of the company. As such, our company will not have any recourse if the determinations of the Investment Committee are inaccurate, or expose the company to liability.
  
Risks Related to Potential Conflicts of Interest
 
Our operating agreement contains provisions that reduce or eliminate duties (including fiduciary duties) of our manager.
 
Our operating agreement provides that our manager, in exercising its rights in its capacity as manager, will be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests; 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 LLC 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.
 
Our company, our manager, Public and their affiliates will try to balance our interests with their own. However, to the extent that such parties take actions that are more favorable to other entities than our company, these actions could have a negative impact on our financial performance and, consequently, on distributions to investors and the value of the interests of the company. We have not adopted, and do not intend to adopt in the future, either a conflicts of interest policy or a conflicts resolution policy.
 
Conflicts may exist among our manager, our asset manager, Public and their respective employees or affiliates.
 
Our manager, our asset manager and Public will engage with, on behalf of our 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 our manager, our asset manager or Public and not our company. Our manager, our asset manager or Public may be incentivized to choose a broker, dealer or asset seller based on the benefits they are to receive rather than the investor’s opinion of which is best for the company.
 
There may be conflicts related to potential future brokerage activity.
 
Our affiliate, Open to the Public Investing, Inc., which we refer to as OTTP, is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and FINRA as a broker-dealer and may facilitate liquidity in our interests via the Public Platform. OTTP may be entitled to receive fees based on volume of trading and volatility of the 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 OTTP and investors; for instance, if the 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 OTTP (i.e., OTTP would collect brokerage fees whether the price of the underlying asset increases or decreases).
 
There may be conflicting interests among our manager, our asset manager, Public and investors.
 
Our manager will determine whether or not to liquidate underlying asset, should an offer to acquire the underlying asset be received. As OTTP may receive fees on the trading volume in the interests connected with the underlying asset, they may encourage our manager to not 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 the underlying asset, our manager will do so considering all of the circumstances at the time, which may include obtaining a price for the underlying asset that is in the best interests of a substantial majority but not all of the investors.
 
Our manager is the asset manager for multiple assets and may be incentivized to utilize one or more assets over the underlying asset to help popularize the Public Platform, which means of utilization may not generate as much immediate returns as other potential utilization methods.
 
Our manager has the ability to unilaterally amend the operating agreement. As our 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 our company 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 our manager owes to its investors. Therefore, our manager is permitted to act in its own best interests rather than the best interests of the investors. See “Securities Being Offered” for more information.
 
Conflicts may exist between legal counsel, our company, our manager, Public and its affiliates.
 
18

Legal counsel may, in the future, render services to us or other related parties with respect to activities relating to our company as well as other unrelated activities. Legal counsel is not representing any prospective investors in connection with this offering and will not be representing interest holders of our company, although the prospective investors may rely on the opinion of legal counsel with respect to the validity of the securities, which is filed as Exhibit 12.1 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own independent counsel with respect to the other legal and tax implications of an investment in our interests.
The original asset seller set the price at which the underlying asset will be sold to the company, and that price may not be based upon arms-length negotiations and may not fully reflect the value of the underlying asset, which often is difficult to determine.
The original asset seller established the price that our company will pay for the underlying asset. Although our company and our manager endeavor to determine the appropriate market price for such asset (and therefore the basis for the value of the company), these prices are often difficult to determine.
Risks Related to the Offering and Ownership of our Interests
 
We have not engaged an escrow agent for this offering and, therefore, do not have an independent third party holding investor funds until they are released to the company.
 
Typically, an escrow agent retains custody of prospective investor funds until certain conditions are met, at which time the funds would be released to our company. We have not engaged an escrow agent for this offering, so no escrow agent or other independent third party holds funds on behalf of investors until released to our company upon a closing.
 
Because investor funds will not be held in escrow prior to closing, subscription funds advanced by prospective investors as part of the subscription process will be commingled with the company’s operating account even if there has not yet been a closing with respect to such investors.
 
Prospective investors will, therefore, not have the use of such funds or receive interest thereon pending closing and may be subject to increased administrative risk, as additional administrative burdens will be placed on individuals acting on behalf of our company who may or may not have the expertise to administer funds seamlessly.
 
There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop. 
 
An active trading market for our interests may not develop or be sustained. If an active public trading market for our interests does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your interests at any price. Even if an active market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your interests.
 
If an active market ever develops for our interests, the market price and trading volume may be volatile.
 
If the market develops for our interests, the market price of our interests could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including reasons unrelated to our performance, 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.
 
There may be state law restrictions on an investor’s ability to sell interests, making it difficult to transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of our interests.
 
19

Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which 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 govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers and stockbrokers 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 must be registered in that state. We do not know whether the interests being offered under this offering circular 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. Investors should consider the resale market for our interests to be limited. Investors may be unable to resell their interests, or they may be unable to resell them without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.
 
The company’s operating agreement includes a requirement for our manager to consent to secondary transfers, and provides that our manager has sole discretion for waiving such conditions.
  
Our interests are subject to restrictions on transferability. Pursuant to the company’s operating agreement, a holder of interests may not transfer, assign or pledge its interests without the consent of our manager. Our manager may refuse a transfer by an interest holder if such transfer would (i) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (provided that our manager may waive such limitations); (ii) adversely affect our company or subject our company, our manager or any of their affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause our company to be disqualified as a limited liability company; (iii) subject our company, our manager or any of their affiliates to any tax to which they would not otherwise be subject; (iv) require registration of the interests or our company, our manager or any of their affiliates under any securities laws of the United States, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; (v) cause the underlying asset to be deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA; (vi) result in a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of our company or result in a termination of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or (vii) violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferor. Furthermore, as our interests are not registered under the Securities Act, transfers of our interests may only be effected pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act and permitted by applicable state securities laws. As a result, investors may not be able to resell or otherwise alienate their interests in certain circumstances.
 
Investors have very limited voting rights, and our manager may take actions that are not in the best interests of investors.
 
Our manager has a unilateral ability to amend the operating agreement in certain circumstances without the consent of the investors, and investors only have limited voting rights. Investors will therefore be subject to any amendments our manager makes (if any) to the operating agreement and also any decision it makes in respect of our company 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, our manager can only be removed as manager of our company in a very limited circumstance, following a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with our company. Investors would therefore not be able to remove our manager merely because they did not agree, for example, with how our manager was managing the underlying asset.
 
Upon qualification by the Commission of the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than rules for more mature public companies, and our investors receive less information.
 
20

Upon qualification by the Commission of the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part, we will be required to report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for public companies reporting under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of our fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of our fiscal year.
 
We also may elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to:
 
 
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
 
 
being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and
 
 
being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
 
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
 
We would expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion; (ii) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our interests that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.
 
In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, and investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.
 
Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under our operating agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the operating agreement. 
 
Investors in this offering will be bound by our operating agreement, which establishes the rights of members and rules for governance of our company. Under Section 14.08 of our operating agreement, investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against our company arising out of or relating to the operating agreement, or the action of becoming an interest holder in the company. This includes legal actions that include claims based on federal securities law. By subscribing to this offering, the investor agrees to adhere to the operating agreement, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights.
 
21

If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a 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 a federal court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of Delaware, which govern the operating agreement. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the operating agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before investing in this offering.
 
If you bring a claim against our company in connection with matters arising under the operating agreement, including claims under federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against our company. If a lawsuit is brought against our company under the operating agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.
 
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 serves as a waiver by any member or by our company of compliance with any substantive provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.
 
Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the subscription agreement. 
 
To participate in this offering, investors must execute the subscription agreement. Under Section 7 of the subscription agreement, investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against our company arising out of or relating to the subscription agreement or any action taken in connection with the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement of the subscription agreement. This includes legal actions that include claims based on federal securities law. By subscribing to this offering and executing the subscription agreement, the investor knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights.

22

Nevertheless, if this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the subscription agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the subscription agreement serves as a waiver by any member or by our company of compliance with any substantive provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.
 
Our operating agreement has a forum selection provision that requires that certain disputes be resolved in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, regardless of convenience or cost to interest holders. 
 
Under Section 14.08 of our operating agreement, interest holders are required to resolve disputes related to the governance of our company in the Court of Chancery located in the State of Delaware. The forum selection provision applies to any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with our operating agreement, or the transactions authorized by the agreement, including that of the admission of interest holders.
 
Our operating agreement further provides that, should the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware not have jurisdiction over the matter, the suit, action or proceeding may be brought in the appropriate federal or state court located in the State of Delaware. We intend for his forum selection provision to also apply to claims brought under federal securities law. Our company acknowledges that, for claims arising under the Exchange Act, 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, requiring such matters to be heard in federal court. In contrast, Section 22 of the Securities Act provides for concurrent jurisdiction between federal and state courts for matters arising under the Securities Act.
 
The forum selection provision in our operating agreement may limit interest holders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our manager, employees or agents, which may discourage lawsuits against us and such persons. The requirement that any action be heard in a competent court in the State of Delaware may also create additional expense for any person contemplating an action against our company, or limit the access to information to undertake such an action, further discouraging lawsuits. 
 
It is also possible that, notwithstanding the forum selection clause included in our operating agreement, a court could rule that such a provision is inapplicable or unenforceable. Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in, an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Possible changes in federal or local tax laws, or the application of existing federal or local tax laws, may result in significant variability in our results of operations and tax liability for the investor.
 
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, is subject to change by Congress, and interpretations may be modified or affected by judicial decisions, by the Treasury Department through changes in regulations and by the IRS, 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 would be limited to prospective effect. Accordingly, the 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.
 
Furthermore, investors may reside in various tax jurisdictions throughout the world. To the extent that there are changes to tax laws or tax reporting obligations in any of these jurisdictions, such changes could adversely impact the ability and/or willingness of our clients to purchase interests. Failure to assess or pay the correct amount of tax on a transaction may expose us to claims from tax authorities.
23

DILUTION
 
Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the interests the investor owns. No dilution is anticipated to be suffered by interest holders.
24

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
 
Plan of Distribution
 
We intend to distribute the interests principally through the Public Platform. However, our company may offer directly to certain investors a portion of the interests without the aid of the Public Platform and prior to the offering being available on the Public Platform. Using the Public Platform, investors can review offering materials and sign legal documents electronically. Our manager is not a member firm of 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 our interests. For the avoidance of doubt, OTTP will not be involved in the offer and sale of our interests.
 
Each offering 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 this offering, see “—Investor Suitability Standards.” As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, this offering will be exempt from state law “blue sky” review, 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 Broker is registered.
 
We are offering, on a best-efforts basis, the interests at a price of $10.00 per interest.
 
At or before the closing of this offering, our manager or its affiliates may purchase interests sold in this offering for the same price as all other investors. There are no limitations on the number of interests that may be purchased by our manager or its affiliates. In addition, the asset sellers may purchase a portion of the interests in this offering. Our manager may sell its interests from time to time after the closing of this offering. Our manager has no present intention to sell its interests, and any future sales would be based upon our potential need for capital, market prices of the interests at the time of a proposed sale and other factors that a reasonable investor might consider in connection with the sale of securities similar to the interests.
 
There is no minimum amount of subscriptions required, and the company may close the entire offering at one time or may have multiple closings. Throughout this offering circular, we have assumed multiple closings and refer to the “initial closing” as the first such closing and the “final closing” as the last such closing. Subscriptions may be accepted on a rolling basis, meaning not all investors would receive their interests on the same date. Until there is a closing with respect to a given investor, subscription funds will remain in the brokerage account of the investor, but will be earmarked for the investment in this offering. With respect to any closing, investors will be notified by email message and/or a notification through the Public Platform. Upon a closing, investor subscription funds will be transferred to our company, and investors will receive their interests. The initial closing will occur at such time as determined by our company in its sole discretion, not to be determined by the value of subscriptions, and additional closings, if any, will occur throughout the offering period as determined in the sole discretion of our company. The timing of the initial closing, any subsequent closing(s) and the final closing will be driven by demand for this offering and minimizing fixed costs associated with each closing.
 
A closing is expected to take a minimum of several days, and up to two weeks. For a closing, we will review the subscription documentation from prospective investors, contact prospective investors for additional information if necessary, verify information for the purposes of AML and KYC compliance then provide subscription documentation to the Broker for review. Upon completion of a satisfactory review by the Broker, a closing will occur with respect to all investors not rejected following review. Rejection may occur if the investor does not provide sufficient information to complete the transaction.
 
If any of the interests offered remain unsold as of the final closing, such interests shall be issued to Otis in full satisfaction of its advance, if any, and the true-up as described in this offering circular. The maximum offering period is 12 months from the date of commencement. The underlying asset will be acquired by the company following the final closing of this offering.
 
25

The interests will be issued in book-entry form without certificates.
 
Our manager, and not our company, will pay all of the expenses incurred in this offering and receive in exchange the true-up payment out of the proceeds of this offering.
 
Investor Suitability Standards
 
Our interests are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our company (in connection with this offering 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:
 
 
1.
Has 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;
 
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;
 
 
 
 
3.
holds in good standing one or more professional certifications or designations or credentials from an accredited educational institution that the Commission has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status; or
 
 
 
 
4.
is a “family client,” as defined by the Investment Advisers Act , of a family office meeting the requirements in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and whose prospective investment in the issuer is directed by such family office pursuant to Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
 
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.
 
Our interests will not be offered or sold to prospective investors subject to 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 Broker, in its capacity as broker of record for this offering, will be permitted to make a determination that the subscribers of our interests in this 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.
 
26

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 our interests. See “Risk Factors.”
 
Minimum and Maximum Investment
 
The minimum subscription by an investor is one (1) interest and the maximum subscription by any investor is for interests representing 20% of the total interests, although such minimum and maximum thresholds may be waived or modified by our manager in its sole discretion. In determining whether to waive or modify such minimum and maximum purchase restrictions, we may consider a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, offering demand following qualification, factors regarding the particular investor, market conditions and business developments.
 
Broker
 
Dalmore Group, LLC is acting as our executing broker in connection with the sale of our interests pursuant to a Broker-Dealer Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Broker’s role in this offering is limited to serving as the broker of record, including reviewing investors (e.g., reviewing third-party “Know Your Customer” and anti-money-laundering checks), processing transactions of potential investors (e.g., reviewing investor subscription agreements to confirm participation in this offering) and coordinating with third-party providers to ensure adequate review and compliance. The Broker will have access to the subscription information provided by investors and will serve as broker of record for this offering. The Broker will not solicit any investors on our behalf, act as underwriter or provide investment advice or investment recommendations to any investor.
 
The Broker is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA and SIPC and will be registered in each state where the offering and sale of interests will occur, prior to the launch of this offering. The Broker will receive the Brokerage 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 this offering.
 
We agreed to indemnify the Broker and each of its affiliates and their respective representatives and agents for any loss, liability, judgment, arbitration award, settlement, damage or cost (which we refer to as losses) incurred in any third-party suit, action, claim or demand (which we refer to, collectively, as a proceeding) arising out of our breach of any provision of the Broker-Dealer Agreement, our wrongful acts or omissions or this offering to the extent not based upon a breach of the agreement by the Broker and/or the wrongful acts or omissions of the Broker or the Broker’s failure to comply with any applicable federal, state or local laws, regulators or codes in the performance of its obligations under the agreement. The Broker agreed to indemnify us and each of our affiliates and their and our representatives and agents from any losses arising out of any proceeding arising out of the Broker’s breach of the agreement or the wrongful acts or omissions of the Broker.
No Escrow Agent
 
There is no minimum associated with this offering, and upon acceptance of an investor’s subscription as the time of a closing, funds will be immediately available to the company.
 
Fees and Expenses
 
Our manager will pay all expenses of this offering. Therefore, the gross proceeds from this offering will equal the net proceeds from this offering.
 
Brokerage Fee
 
As compensation for providing to us the services described in the Broker-Dealer Agreement in connection with this offering, the Broker will receive a brokerage fee equal to 1% of the amount raised through this offering (which we refer to as the Brokerage Fee). The Brokerage Fee will be paid directly by our manager and will not be paid out of the proceeds of this offering.

Alongside signing the subscription agreement, agree to transfer funds previously deposited into your brokerage account on the Public Platform in the amount equal to the purchase price for interests you have applied to subscribe for (as set out on the front page of your subscription agreement) as further described on the Public Platform. Funds will be transferred if your subscription agreement is accepted by our manager and following the closing with respect to your subscription. Until such transfer, the funds will remain in the brokerage account of the investor, but will be earmarked for the investment in this offering.
 
We recommend that you consult with your tax, legal and financial advisors to determine whether an investment in our interests is suitable for you.
 
Thereafter, your subscription will be reviewed by us and the Broker:
 
 
1.
Our manager and the Broker will review the subscription documentation completed and signed by you. You may be asked to provide additional information. Our manager will contact you directly if required.
 
 
2.
We reserve the right to reject any subscriptions, in whole or in part, for any or no reason, and to withdraw this offering at any time prior to closing. 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. Our manager accepts subscriptions on a first come, first served basis subject to the right to reject or reduce subscriptions in its sole discretion (such as in the case of the offering being oversubscribed). If all or a part of your subscription is approved, then the number of interests you are entitled to subscribe for will be issued to you upon the closing.

Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury
 
The subscription agreement provides that you waive the right to a jury trial for any claim you may have against us arising out of, or relating to, the subscription agreement or any action taken in connection with the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement of the subscription agreement, which could include claims under federal securities law. By subscribing to this offering and executing the subscription agreement, you knowingly and voluntarily waive your jury trial rights. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.

USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER
 
We expect to receive gross proceeds from this offering of up to $889,700. Otis will pay all expenses of this offering, including fees and expenses associated with qualification of this offering under Regulation A and all fees and expenses of the Broker. Therefore, the gross proceeds from this offering will equal the net proceeds from this offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this offering to acquire the underlying asset, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, pursuant to an intercompany agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.3 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, Otis will advance the company any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of this offering, together with any unsold interests, if any, will be contributed to Otis to repay the advance, if any, and pay Otis the true-up. Accordingly, in any circumstance in which an initial closing occurs, at the time of the final closing, 88,970 interests will be issued and outstanding, the purchase price of the underlying asset and the true-up will be fully paid, the company will own the underlying asset and the company will have no indebtedness. No proceeds from the offering will be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to our officers or directors, except as provided by the true-up.
 
The allocation of the net proceeds of the offering set forth below represents our intentions based upon our current plans and assumptions regarding industry and general economic condition. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions and business developments.
 
Our manager reserves the right to modify the use of proceeds in the best interests of our company.

THE UNDERLYING ASSET
 
The discussions contained in this offering circular relating to the underlying asset, the underlying content and its related industry are taken from third-party sources that we believe to be reliable, and we believe that the information from such sources contained herein is reasonable, and that the factual information is fair and accurate.
 
The Underlying Asset
Summary Overview
Our company will purchase from OWI 25% of the right, title and interest of composer Harry Gregson-Williams, along with a security interest, in the songwriter’s life of rights share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works.
Summary: The underlying asset is a 25% interest in the related works that earns income from public performance of the award-winning Shrek media franchise, including films, TV specials and other related content. The catalog generates royalties when the underlying content airs on TV and is streamed online and when the related works play in the corresponding soundtracks, on Shrek-themed theme park rides or are used in other TV, film or commercial programming. The underlying asset is principally the right to receive payments from any source generated with respect to the related works for the life of the rights associated with the related works. The underlying asset includes a security interest in the songwriter’s share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works, as well as a 25% interest in all existing and potential causes of action, including, but not limited to, actions for infringement, underpayment or non-payment of royalties. The underlying asset does not include ownership or control of the copyright interest in the related works. We do not believe any of the foregoing positively or negatively impacts the value of the underlying asset or the ability to receive royalty revenues. The foregoing rights will be established for our company pursuant to an assignment of interest, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.2 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, to be entered into between our company and OWI, as asset seller.
Shrek Franchise Cultural Significance: Shrek is a media franchise created by DreamWorks Animation, loosely based on William Steig’s 1990 picture book of the same name. The franchise features four computer-animated films: Shrek (2001), Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek the Third (2007) and Shrek Forever After (2010). A short 4-D film, Shrek 4-D, which originally debuted for a theme park ride, was released in 2003. The franchise also includes two television specials, the Christmas television special Shrek the Halls (2007) and the Halloween television special Scared Shrekless (2010). In May 2010, The New York Times described the principal Shrek characters as “brilliantly realized” and said, “nearly a decade after the first Shrek film they remain as vital and engaging fusions of image, personality and voice as any characters in the history of animation.” The series was a financial success, becoming the 17th highest-grossing film franchise of all time and the second highest-grossing animated franchise. A fifth Shrek feature film, to potentially to be called Shrek 5, is anticipated.
Past Financial Highlights: As of July 2022, the underlying asset (i.e., the 25% interest in the catalog of related works) had generated $77,986 in royalty revenues in the preceding twelve months and an average of $60,313 per year in revenues in the preceding three years.
Operating Partners: The underlying asset relies on the following operating partners with respect to the aggregation, audit, enforcement and payment of royalty revenues earned from the underlying asset: BMI, Royalty Exchange and, to a lesser extent, Gregson-Williams.
Comparable Sale: A different 25% of the right, title and interest of composer Gregson-Williams’ interest, along with a security interest, in the songwriter’s share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works sold for $888,889 on Royalty Exchange in August 2022.

The Shrek Franchise
Shrek is a media franchise created by DreamWorks Animation, loosely based on William Steig’s 1990 picture book of the same name. The franchise features four computer-animated films: Shrek (2001), Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek the Third (2007) and Shrek Forever After (2010). A short 4-D film, Shrek 4-D, which originally debuted for a theme park ride, was released in 2003. The franchise also includes two television specials, the Christmas television special Shrek the Halls (2007) and the Halloween television special Scared Shrekless (2010).
The series primarily focuses on Shrek, a bad-tempered but good-hearted ogre, who begrudgingly accepts a quest to rescue a princess, resulting in him finding friends and going on many subsequent adventures in a fairy tale world.
In May 2010, The New York Times described the principal Shrek characters as “brilliantly realized” and said, “nearly a decade after the first Shrek film they remain as vital and engaging fusions of image, personality and voice as any characters in the history of animation.” The series was a financial success, becoming the 17th highest-grossing film franchise of all time and the second highest-grossing animated franchise. Shrek grossed approximately $268 million in box-office sales, Shrek 2 approximately $441 million, Shrek the Third approximately $323 million and Shrek Forever After approximately $239 million. Shrek won an Academy Award for animated features, and was nominated for an award for adapted screenplay. Shrek 2 was nominated for Academy Awards for animated feature and original song but did not win.
A fifth Shrek feature film, to potentially to be called Shrek 5, is anticipated. On November 6, 2018, it was reported by Variety that Chris Meledandri had been tasked to be the executive producer of the fifth feature film.
The Catalog
Rights
The underlying asset is a 25% interest in the catalog of related works that earns income from public performance of the underlying content. The catalog generates royalties when the underlying content airs on TV and is streamed online and when the related works play in the corresponding soundtracks, on Shrek-themed theme park rides or are used in other TV, film or commercial programming. As an example of the latter, a scene from Shrek is featured in the 2007 Will Smith movie, I Am Legend. Consequently, the underlying asset earns a public performance royalty when I am Legend airs on TV or is streamed.
The underlying asset is principally the right to receive payments from any source generated with respect to the related works for the life of the rights associated with the related works. The underlying asset includes a security interest in the songwriter’s share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works, as well as a 25% interest in any and all existing and potential causes of action, including, but not limited to, actions for infringement, underpayment or non-payment of royalties.
The underlying asset does not include ownership or control of the copyright interest in the related works. We do not believe any of the foregoing positively or negatively impacts the value of the underlying asset or the ability to receive royalty revenues.

The foregoing rights will be established for our company pursuant to an assignment of interest, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.2 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, to be entered into between our company and OWI, as asset seller. The agreement includes an assignment of the foregoing rights to the royalties under (a) the purchase agreement, dated August 16, 2022, between the private collector and OWI and (b) the purchase agreement, dated July 19, 2021, between the private collector and Gregson-Williams, each attached as exhibits thereto. Pursuant to the agreement and the predecessor agreements attached thereto, OWI, the private collector and Gregson-Williams each agree not to enter into any agreement with respect to the underlying content or the underlying asset that would conflict with the terms of the agreement, to not settle any claim or waive any right concerning the underlying content or the underlying asset. The agreement will grant our company the right to receive all royalty payments to be paid after the effective date of the agreement, regardless of when earned or when the performances of the underlying content occurred. OWI, the private collector and Gregson-Williams further agree to execute such documents as necessary to fulfill the foregoing rights, and our company will be granted a power of attorney in the name of each such party if any such party fails to execute any document as required. Our company will be indemnified by OWI, the private collector and Gregson-Williams against all losses and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, related to any inaccurate statement of fact made by any such seller or any alleged breach or failure of any such seller to perform the obligations under the agreement.
Past Financial Performance

The source is Royalty Exchange. It should be noted that BMI’s Q2 2020 distribution includes non-recurring settlement payments from the Radio Music Licensing Committee (“RMLC”). The settlement represents a rate increase for radio performances in the years 2017-2019.
 
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Future royalty revenues may exceed or fall below past performance.
Operating Partners
BMI is one of four United States performing rights organizations, along with ASCAP, SESAC and Global Music Rights. BMI collects license fees on behalf of songwriters, composers and music publishers and distributes them as royalties to those members whose works have been performed. BMI serves as the primary royalty distributor for the complete right, title and interest of Gregson-Williams in the songwriter’s share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works. BMI is responsible for aggregating, auditing, enforcing and paying royalty revenues to Royalty Exchange, as secondary royalty distributor (described below). Neither our company nor our manager will have a direct contractual relationship with BMI.
Royalty Exchange is a platform that serves as intermediary to facilitate the sale of royalty interests and as secondary royalty distributor in the case of fractional interests, such as is the case with the underlying asset. Our company will enter into a royalty accounting agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.3 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, with Royalty Exchange, pursuant to which Royalty Exchange will be engaged to collect royalty payments from BMI as distributor, account for our company’s interest (25% of composer Gregson-Williams’ interest) and distribute payment to our company accordingly. Our company will agree to pay Royalty Exchange a fee of 5% of each royalty payment as compensation for these services. Royalty Exchange will provide, no later than 30 days after receiving a royalty payment from BMI, an accounting statement and the royalty payments due for the applicable accounting period. Our company agrees to object to any payments, statements or other accounts within 30 days of receipt and may, upon 60 days’ notice, inspect Royalty Exchange’s records with respect to the objection. The agreement may be terminated with the consent of Royalty Exchange, if our company determines that BMI or another entity can satisfactorily account for royalty payments or if our company is dissolved. Our company indemnifies Royalty Exchange against all losses and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from actions brought by third parties, related to our company’s statements of facts. Royalty Exchange is not responsible for any errors or omissions made by BMI with regard to the royalty payments.

To the extent of the rights assigned pursuant to the assignment of interest (most notably with respect to receipt of royalty payments and an interest in existing and potential causes of action), our company also relies on the original seller, Gregson-Williams.
Ownership and Pricing History
The underlying asset was purchased by OWI for $868,000 from a private collector, through Royalty Exchange. The private collector purchased from Harry Gregson-Williams for an unknown price all of the right, title and interest of the composer’s interest, along with a security interest, in the songwriter’s share of all public performance royalties attributable to the related works.
No Insurance
There is currently no insurance available for entertainment royalties. As set forth in the asset management and administrative services agreement to be entered into between our manager, the company and the managing member (which we refer to as the asset management agreement), our manager agrees to take any reasonable action necessary to enforce, and cover any cost associated with enforcing, the contractual rights held in connection with the underlying asset.
Amortization
We treat the underlying asset as an intangible asset and will amortize the underlying asset. Because it is difficult to estimate the projected future revenues under the underlying asset, our company will amortize the underlying asset over a 15-year period using the straight-line method pursuant to Section 167 of the Code. Accordingly, the underlying asset will be amortized at an annual rate equal to one fifteenth (1/15) of the original cost basis for a period of 15 years.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
Our manager believes that alternative assets have been a cornerstone of wealth accumulation. However, barriers are high and quality access has been limited to a tiny fraction of the global economy. We believe that those who do have access to top quality alternative investments are faced with a lack of transparency, operational overhead and high minimums and fees from established gatekeepers. The costs for investing in this asset class are high and transaction volumes are low with few options for liquidity, resulting in longer holding periods. As a result, the opportunity to build wealth remains inaccessible.
 
This offering is part of the proposed solution to this problem. Public is creating platform to invest in NFTs, art, collectibles and more, through one or more affiliated issuers, alongside traditional equities and crypto. The goal is to unlock every type of alternative asset and give investors true uncorrelated, diversification in a modern portfolio.
 
Market Opportunity
 
We believe the overall macroeconomic environment remains favorable for high performing alternative asset classes, including entertainment royalties. Interest rates are expected to remain moderate (albeit rising) across most developed economies, and returns in traditional asset classes such as stocks and investment-grade bonds may remain volatile. In addition to the increased transparency generally across alternative asset classes, we believe that these factors will support the trend for investors to seek returns in alternative assets, which will continue to make these a more permanent component of investment strategies broadly. 
 
Valued at $717 billion, the U.S. media and entertainment industry represents a third of the global industry. The industry includes motion pictures, television programs, commercials, streaming content, music and audio recordings, broadcast, radio, book publishing, video games and ancillary services and products. The industry is expected to reach more than $825 billion by 2023, according to the 2018-2023 Entertainment & Media Outlook by PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
According to the September 2021 The Price of Rights report by the Variety Intelligence Platform, institutional investors and asset managers have begun taking an active stake in entertainment assets over the last few years as the new streaming structure affords them an opportunity to earn long-term, stable returns. Further, “the yields from royalty-based assets also look attractive to investors relative to other types of fixed-income assets, such as US treasury bonds and corporate debt offerings.” Song catalogs were trading at 9-10x trailing twelve-month revenue about a decade ago, but by 2018 it was up to 13.5x, and 17.5x in 2020, largely based on the way technology and streaming has restructured the consumption of entertainment.
Our Business
 
We were formed to facilitate investment in the underlying asset.
 
Public Platform & Our Manager
 
The Public Platform aims to provide:
 
 
investors with access to alternative assets for investment, portfolio diversification and secondary market liquidity for their interests (although there can be no guarantee that a secondary market will ever develop or that appropriate registrations to permit such secondary trading will ever be obtained);
 
 
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 Public Platform; and
 
40

 
all Public Platform users with a premium, highly curated, engaging experience.
 
The objective is for the Public Platform to become the leading marketplace for investing in alternative assets, to provide investors with financial returns commensurate with returns in the alternative asset industry and to manage the collection in a manner that provides exemplary care to the assets and offers potential returns for investors.
 
To provide investors with access to secondary market liquidity for their interests, Public intends to launch an interface on the Public Platform that enables investors to buy and sell their holdings via the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System, or PPEX ATS, an electronic alternative trading system registered with the Commission and FINRA on Form ATS (which we refer to as an ATS) operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation, or North Capital. Our company will engage North Capital to receive orders to buy and sell from interest holders and will engage a broker-dealer to execute trades through the PPEX ATS. There can be no guarantee that a secondary market will ever develop.
As identified above, pursuant to the company’s operating agreement, secondary transfers are subject to certain restrictions and the discretion of our manager to waive those restrictions. As a result, investors may not be able to resell or otherwise alienate their interests in certain circumstances. See “Securities Being Offered—Secondary Trading” for additional information regarding secondary trading.
Our manager anticipates that its core competency will be the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of investment-grade alternative assets for the benefit of the investors.
 
The operating agreement designates our manager as the managing member of our company. Our manager will generally not be entitled to vote on matters submitted to the holders of our interests. Our manager will not have any distribution, redemption, conversion or liquidation rights by virtue of its status as manager.
 
The operating agreement further provides that our 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 our company 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 our manager will not have any duty (including any fiduciary duty) to our company or any of the interest holders.
 
In the event our manager resigns as managing member of our company, the holders of a majority of all interests of our company may elect a successor managing member. Holders of interests have the right to remove our manager as manager of our company, by a vote of two-thirds of the holders of all interests (excluding our manager), in the event our manager is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with our company. If so convicted, our manager shall call a meeting of all of the holders of interests within 30 calendar days of such non-appealable judgment at which the holders may vote to remove our manager as manager of our company. If our 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, our 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 our company, the liquidation provisions of the operating agreement shall apply (as described in “Securities Being Offered—Liquidation Rights”). In the event our manager is removed as manager of our company, it shall immediately cease to be manager of the company. 
 
See “Directors, Executive Officers and Significant Employees” for additional information regarding our manager.
 
Investment Committee
 
41

Our manager assembled the Investment Committee, compromised of employees of Public People acting on behalf of Public, to assist our manager in evaluating the underlying asset prior to the purchase (including reviewing due diligence materials), managing the underlying asset and to advise our manager and certain other matters associated with our business. The members of the Investment Committee are not and will not be managers or officers of our company and will not have any fiduciary or other duties to the interest holders of the company.

The company will indemnify our asset manager and its affiliates, and any of their respective directors, members, stockholders, partners, officers, employees or controlling persons, 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 such person may become subject in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with the asset management agreement, except to the extent that any such losses result solely from the acts or omissions of such person 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 person’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
 
Pursuant to the asset management agreement, all fees, costs and expenses of, or incurred in connection with the operation of, our company will be borne by our asset manager, which, as of the date of this offering circular, is our manager, Otis; provided, however, that the asset manager shall not be responsible for (i) any income taxes imposed on our company and (ii) any indemnification payments to be made pursuant to the operating agreement.
 
In exchange for providing the above services and agreeing to bear the above fees, costs and expenses, the asset manager, Otis, will receive 5% of any Free Cash Flow distributed. The below list summarizes the anticipated expenses to be borne by the asset manager:
 
 
any and all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the holding and management of the underlying asset, including security, valuation, marketing and utilization of the underlying asset;
 
 
any fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with preparing any reports and accounts, including any blue-sky filings required to be made available to investors in certain states and any annual audit of the accounts of the company (if applicable) and any reports to be filed with the Commission;
 
 
any fees, costs and/or expenses incurred as a result of investor earnings, investments or withdrawals;

the costs of any other outside appraisers, valuation firms, accountants, attorneys or other experts or consultants engaged by our managing member in connection with the operations of our company; and
 
44

 
cover any cost associated with enforcing the contractual rights held in connection with the underlying asset.
 
Indemnification of our Manager 
 
The operating agreement provides that neither our manager, Public nor any of their current or former directors, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, members, controlling persons, agents or independent contractors, nor members of the Investment Committee, nor persons acting at the request of our company in certain capacities with respect to other entities, will be liable to our company or any interest holders for any act or omission taken by them in connection with the business of our company 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 will indemnify these persons 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 our company 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.
 
Asset Liquidity
 
We intend to hold the underlying asset for an indefinite period of time. Liquidity for investors would be obtained by transferring their interests. However, should an offer to liquidate the underlying asset or a portion thereof materializes and be in the best interest of the investors, as determined by our asset manager in its sole discretion, our asset manager will consider the merits of such offer on a case-by-case basis and potentially sell the underlying asset or the applicable portion. Our manager may, but is not required to, solicit input from investors through a non-binding vote. In determining whether an offer to liquidate the underlying asset is in the best interest of investors, our asset manager will consider, among other things, the result of a non-binding vote by investors (if applicable), the length of the time the underlying asset or a portion thereof has been held, whether future airdrops are expected that could result in revenue to our company, market conditions at the time of the offer, confidence in the future market of the underlying asset and the strength of the offer in relation to the current market. If our manager determines that, based on the foregoing factors, a sale of the underlying asset or a portion thereof is in the best interests of investors, our manager will proceed with such sale.
 
Furthermore, should an asset become obsolete (e.g., lack investor demand for its interests) or suffer from a catastrophic event, our asset manager may choose to sell the underlying asset. As a result of a sale under any circumstances, our asset manager would distribute the proceeds of such sale (together with any insurance proceeds in the case of a catastrophic event covered by insurance) to the interest holders.
 
Employees
 
Our company does not have any employees. All of our day-to-day operations are administered by Public employees on behalf of our manager.
 
Government Regulation
 
Regulation of collectibles varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and state to state. In any jurisdictions or states in which we operate, we may be required to obtain licenses and permits to conduct business, including dealer and sales licenses, and will be subject to local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, import and export regulations, laws and regulations involving sales, use, value-added and other indirect taxes.
 
Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law could be asserted against us by individuals or governmental authorities and could expose us to significant damages or other penalties.
 
Legal Proceedings
45

 
None of our company, our manager, our asset manager or any director or executive officer of our manager is presently subject to any material legal proceedings.
46

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Overview
 
We were recently formed as a Delaware limited liability company by Otis to facilitate investment in the underlying asset. We have not conducted any operations prior to the date of this offering circular and will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to the ownership and eventual sale of the underlying asset. We have not yet commenced operations and have no assets or liabilities at this time. Accordingly, we have not presented financial statements in this offering circular, though we have described below certain critical accounting policies that we intend to adopt following our acquisition of the underlying asset. We plan to engage an independent auditor to audit our financial statements after the qualification of this offering by the SEC, this offering closes and operations commence. Following this offering, we will include audited financial statements in our annual reports with the Commission on Form 1-K containing our financial statements for such fiscal year, presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, including a balance sheet, statements of operation, statement of changes in members’ equity and statement of cash flows, with such statements having been audited by an independent auditor selected by our manager.
 
Emerging Growth Company
 
We may elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to:
 
 
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
 
 
being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our period reports and proxy statements; and
 
 
being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
 
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
 
We would expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion; (ii) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
48

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our manager to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
The Underlying Asset

Our company accounts for the underlying asset as an indefinite-lived intangible asset initially recorded at cost.

Upon acquisition, the underlying asset will be recorded at the original cost basis, which is the purchase price paid for the underlying asset.

The underlying asset will be purchased by our company using a portion of the proceeds from this offering. If and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price of the underlying asset, Otis will advance to our company any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of this offering, together with any unsold interests, if any, will be used to repay the Otis advance, if any, and pay Otis the true-up.

The underlying asset is subject to impairment losses if its fair value decreases below the carrying value. We perform a quarterly review to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted prices in the principal market for similar assets, indicate that it is more likely than not that the underlying asset is impaired. In determining if an impairment has occurred, we consider the lowest price quoted in the principal market since the previous quarterly review. If the carrying value of the underlying asset exceeds that lowest price, an impairment loss has occurred in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value and that lowest price. Gains or losses are not recorded until realized upon sale.

 
Revenue Recognition
Our company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and its related amendments, effective upon formation.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
 
identification of a contract with a customer;
 
 
identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
 
 
determination of the transaction price;
 
 
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
 
49

 
recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
 
Revenues are expected to be derived from the payments received in connection with the underlying asset and will be recognized in the periods in which payments are received.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate their fair value.
Earnings (Loss) / Income per Interest
Upon completion of this offering, we intend to comply with accounting and disclosure requirement of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Earnings (loss) / income per interest will be computed by dividing net (loss) / income by the weighted average number of outstanding interests during the year.
True-up Payment
The true-up payable to Otis will be recorded as an expense, which will reduce members’ equity.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Our company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our financial reporting and disclosures.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Investment Committee
 
Our manager assembled the Investment Committee, compromised of employees of Public People acting on behalf of Public, to assist our manager in evaluating the underlying asset prior to the purchase (including reviewing due diligence materials), managing the underlying asset and to advise our manager and certain other matters associated with our business. The members of the Investment Committee are not and will not be managers or officers of our company and will not have any fiduciary or other duties to the interest holders of the company. The Investment Committee has no authority other than to provide non-binding advisory support to our manager, when requested, on matters such as:
 
 
evaluating any third-party offers for acquisition of the underlying asset and recommending disposition if in the best interest of our company and our interest holders; and
 
 
approving any service providers appointed by our manager in respect of the underlying asset.
53

COMPENSATION OF OUR MANAGER
 
The following table sets forth the form of compensation and the recipient of such compensation together with the determination of the amount and the estimated amount.
 
Form of Compensation   Determination of Amount   Estimated Amount
True-up Payment   Otis intends to charge a true-up payment to the company which is intended to be reasonable compensation for Otis’ services, capital commitment and outlay (if applicable) in sourcing and acquiring the underlying asset, as well as our manager’s agreement to pay the Brokerage Fee and estimated offering expenses.   $21,700.
         
Free Cash Flow  
Free Cash Flow consists of the net income (as determined under GAAP) generated by the company 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 underlying asset. This amount would be distributed (after the creation of such reserves as our manager deems necessary, in its sole discretion) as follows: (a) 95% to all interest holders pro-rata (which may include our manager, any of its affiliates); then (b) 5% to our asset manager (which amount may be waived by our asset manager in its sole discretion).
  These amounts, if any, cannot presently be determined.
         
Liquidation Rights  
Upon the liquidation of our company as a whole, the underlying asset will be liquidated and any after-tax proceeds distributed: (i) first, to any third-party creditors; (ii) second, to any creditors that are our manager or its affiliates, and thereafter; and thereafter, (iii) first, 100% to the interest holders, allocated pro rata based on the number of interests held by each interest holder (which may include our manager, any of its affiliates and asset sellers) until the interest holders receive back 100% of their capital contribution and second, (A) 10% to our manager and (B) 90% to the interest holders, allocated pro rata based on the number of interests held by each interest holder (which may include our manager, any of its affiliates).
  These amounts, if any, cannot presently be determined.
54

 
Compensation of Executive Officers
 
We do not currently have any employees, nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by our company. Employees of Public manage our day-to-day affairs on behalf of our manager, service the underlying asset and monitor the performance of the underlying asset to ensure that they are consistent with our investment objectives. Each of these individuals receives compensation for their services, including services performed for us on behalf of our manager. Although we will indirectly bear some of the costs of the compensation paid to these individuals, through fees we pay to our manager, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to these individuals.
55

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN SECURITYHOLDERS
 
Our company is managed by our manager. Our manager was granted a single interest in the company and became the initial member holding 100% of the then-outstanding interests of the company.
 
At or before the closing of this offering, our manager or its affiliates may purchase interests sold in this offering for the same price as all other investors. There are no limitations on the number of interests that may be purchased by our manager or its affiliates. Our manager may sell its interests from time to time after the closing of this offering in its sole discretion. Our manager has no present intention to sell its interests, and any future sales would be based upon our manager’s potential need for capital, market prices of the interests at the time of a proposed sale and other factors that a reasonable investor might consider in connection with the sale of securities similar to the interests. The address of our manager is 6 Harrison Street, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10013.
 
The following table sets forth any securityholder, including our manager, who beneficially owns more than 10% of any class as of the date of this report:

The column in Form 1-A titled “Amount and nature of beneficial ownership acquirable” has been omitted as inapplicable with respect to the listed securityholder.
56

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
There are no transactions or any currently proposed transactions since our inception or the current fiscal year, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 and one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under “Compensation of Our Manager”).
57

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED
 
The following is a summary of the principal terms of, and is qualified by reference to, the operating agreement and the subscription agreement relating to the purchase of the interests offered hereby, which are attached as exhibits to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part. 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 shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the operating agreement.
 
Description of Interests
 
Our company is a Delaware limited liability company formed pursuant the LLC Act. We have not issued, and will not issue, any class of interests entitled to any preemptive, preferential or other rights that are not otherwise available to the holders purchasing interests in connection with this offering. Title to the underlying asset will be held by, or for the benefit of, the company.
 
Distribution Rights
 
Our manager has sole discretion in determining what distributions of Free Cash Flow, if any, are made to holders of interests and our manager except as otherwise limited by law or the operating agreement.
 
Free Cash Flow consists of the net income (as determined under GAAP) generated by the company 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 underlying asset. Our manager may maintain Free Cash Flow funds in a deposit account or an investment account for the benefit of the company. 
 
We expect our manager to distribute any Free Cash Flow on a quarterly basis as set forth below. However, our 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 the company from the underlying asset shall be applied within the company in the following order of priority: 
  
 
withhold any amounts required for federal, state and local corporate taxes;
 
 
to create such reserves as our manager deems necessary, in its sole discretion; and 
 
 
thereafter by way of distribution, net of corporate taxes applicable to our company, (a) 95% to holders of the interests, which may include our manager or any of its affiliates, and (b) 5% to our asset manager (which amount may be waived by our asset manager in its sole discretion).
 
The company will not distribute the underlying asset in kind to its interest holders.
 
58

The LLC Act (Section 18-607) provides that a member who receives a distribution and knew at the time of the distribution that the distribution was in violation of the LLC Act shall be liable to the company for the amount of the distribution for three years. Under the LLC Act, a limited liability company may not make a distribution to a member if, after the distribution, all liabilities, other than liabilities to members on account of their limited liability company interests and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of the company, would exceed the fair value of the assets. For the purpose of determining the fair value of the assets of the company, the LLC Act provides that the fair value of property subject to liability for which recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the assets of the company 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.
 
No Redemption Provisions
 
Our interests are not redeemable.
 
No Registration Rights
 
There are no registration rights in respect of any of our interests.
 
Limited Voting Rights
 
Our 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 our manager and a designee of our manager shall act as chairman at such meetings. Interest holders do not have any voting rights as an interest holder in our company except with respect to:
 
 
the removal of our manager for cause as described below;
 
 
the dissolution of our company upon the for-cause removal of our manager; and
 
 
an amendment to the operating agreement that would: 
 
 
adversely affect the rights of an interest holder in any material respect;
 
 
reduce the voting percentage required for any action to be taken by the holders of interests in our company under the operating agreement;
 
 
change the situations in which our company can be dissolved or terminated;
 
 
change the term of our company (other than the circumstances provided in the operating agreement); or
 
 
 
give any person the right to dissolve our company.
Our manager can only be removed as manager of our company in the event our manager is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with our company which has a material adverse effect on our company.
 
59

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 our company. The removal of our manager as manager of our company must be approved by two-thirds of the votes that may be cast by all interest holders of our 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 of our company present in person or represented by proxy.
 
Our manager or its affiliates (if they hold 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 our company for a vote of the interest holders shall first be approved by our manager and no amendment to the operating agreement may be made without the prior approval of our manager that would decrease the rights of our manager or increase the obligations of our manager thereunder.
 
Our manager has broad authority to take action with respect to our company. See “Directors, Executive Officers and Significant Employees—Our Manager” for more information. Except as set forth above, our manager may amend the operating agreement without the approval of the interest holders to, among other things, reflect the following:
 
 
the merger of our company with, or the conveyance of all of our assets to, a newly formed entity, for example, to effect the disposition of the underlying asset in a tax-efficient manner; 
 
 
a change that our manager determines to be necessary or appropriate to implement any state or federal statute, rule, guidance or opinion;  
 
 
a change that our manager determines to be necessary, desirable or appropriate to facilitate the trading of interests;
 
 
a change that our manager determines to be necessary or appropriate for our company to qualify as a limited liability company under the laws of any state or to ensure that the company will continue to qualify as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; 
 
 
an amendment that our manager determines, based upon the advice of counsel, to be necessary or appropriate to prevent our company, our 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; 
 
 
an amendment effected, necessitated or contemplated by a merger agreement that has been approved under the terms of the operating agreement; 
 
 
any amendment that our manager determines to be necessary or appropriate for the formation by our 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 our manager deems necessary or appropriate to enable our manager to exercise its authority under the operating agreement.
 
In each case, our manager may make such amendments to the operating agreement provided our manager determines that those amendments:
 
 
do not adversely affect the interest in any material respect; 
 
60

 
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 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 our manager deems to be in the best interests of our company and the interest holders; 
 
 
are necessary or appropriate for any action taken by our manager relating to splits or combinations of interests under the provisions of the operating agreement; or 
 
 
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. 
 
Any holder that beneficially owns 10% or more of the interests (excluding shares beneficially owned by our manager or affiliates) may irrevocably limit or eliminate its voting rights by providing an irrevocable certification to the company in substantially the form included in the operating agreement. In the event a member irrevocably limits or eliminates its voting rights, all of the interests beneficially owned by the holder in excess of the voting limit applicable to the holder will no longer have any voting rights for so long as the interests are beneficially owned by the holder or the holder’s affiliates. Any holder that irrevocably eliminates its voting rights or limits its voting rights, such that under no circumstances would such holder, together with its affiliates, have the right to cast more than 10% of the total votes in an election of our manager or on any other matter put to a vote of the holders, will not be named or have its address or ownership reported in the company’s ongoing filings with the Commission, including the beneficial ownership table in the company’s Annual Report on Form 1-K, unless the holder is otherwise deemed to be an “affiliate” of the company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The determination of affiliate status for such purposes will be made by the manager in its sole and absolute discretion and the company or its transfer agent may require any holder that owns more than 10% of the interests to provide a legal opinion and or other information it deems necessary or appropriate to determine such holder’s affiliate status. If any such 10% or more holder is deemed to be an “affiliate,” notwithstanding the limit on voting, such holder’s name, address and ownership will be reported in the company’s filings with the Commission, including the beneficial ownership table in the company’s Annual Report on Form 1-K.
 
Liquidation Rights
 
The operating agreement provides that our company shall remain in existence until the earlier of the following: (i) the election of our manager to dissolve it; (ii) the sale, exchange or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of our company; (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of our company; (iv) at any time that our 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 our company following the for-cause removal of our manager. Under no circumstances may our 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 our company).
 
Upon the occurrence of any such event, our manager (or a liquidator selected by our manager) is charged with winding up the affairs of the company as a whole and liquidating its assets. Upon the liquidation of our company as a whole, the underlying asset will be liquidated and any after-tax proceeds distributed: (i) first, to any third-party creditors; (ii) second, to any creditors that are our manager or its affiliates; and thereafter, (iii) first, 100% to the interest holders, allocated pro rata based on the number of interests held by each interest holder (which may include our manager, any of its affiliates and asset sellers) until the interest holders receive back 100% of their capital contribution and second, (A) 10% to our manager and (B) 90% to the interest holders, allocated pro rata based on the number of interests held by each interest holder (which may include our manager, any of its affiliates and asset sellers).
 
Transfer Restrictions
61

 
Our interests are subject to restrictions on transferability. Pursuant to the company’s operating agreement, a holder of interests may not transfer, assign or pledge its interests without the consent of our manager. Our manager may refuse a transfer by an interest holder if such transfer would (i) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (provided that our manager may waive such limitations); (ii) adversely affect our company or subject our company, our manager or any of their affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause our company to be disqualified as a limited liability company; (iii) subject our company, our manager or any of their affiliates to any tax to which they would not otherwise be subject; (iv) require registration of the interests or our company, our manager or any of their affiliates under any securities laws of the United States, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; (v) cause the underlying asset to be deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA; (vi) result in a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of our company or result in a termination of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or (vii) violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferor. Furthermore, as our interests are not registered under the Securities Act, transfers of our interests may only be effected pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act and permitted by applicable state securities laws. As a result, investors may not be able to resell or otherwise alienate their interests in certain circumstances.
  
Provided that any electronic alternative trading system registered with the Commission and FINRA on Form ATS (an “ATS”) on which interests are listed for trading requires from interest holders such representations and agreements as described in the operating agreement, interests may be transferred via such ATS. Public intends to launch an interface on the Public Platform that enables investors to buy and sell their holdings via the PPEX ATS operated by North Capital. As of the date of this offering circular, the PPEX ATS will be the sole trading platform approved by our manager for secondary transfers of our interests (for the avoidance of doubt, transfers may occur outside of a trading platform). We will notify interest holders of approval of any additional trading platform(s) by making a filing with the Commission of the type applicable as of the time such change is made and by sending an email message or a message through the Public Platform, or by posting a message on the Public website.
  
To obtain approval for any transfer not facilitated by the PPEX ATS, interest holders should contact us by sending us an email message to alts@public.com prior to any voluntary transfer or within 30 days of any involuntary transfer and provide sufficient information to allow our company’s legal counsel to make a determination that the transfer would not result in any of the scenarios described above. For a transfer in the event of death of the interest holder, notice should be given by a duly authorized representative of the estate of such interest holder and include proof of legal authority and valid assignment.
 
Our manager may transfer all or any portion of the interests held by it at any time and from time to time, in accordance with applicable securities laws, either directly or through brokers, or otherwise.
 
Additionally, unless and until the interests 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 our interests for resale. Therefore, investors may be required to hold their interests indefinitely. Please refer to the subscription agreement for additional information regarding these restrictions.
 
Agreement to be Bound by the Operating Agreement; Power of Attorney
 
By purchasing interests, you will be admitted as a member of our 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 our manager a power of attorney to, among other things, execute and file documents required for our qualification, continuance or dissolution. The power of attorney also grants our 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
 
62

The operating agreement provides that, except as may otherwise be provided by the operating agreement, the property, affairs and business will be managed under the direction of our manager. Our manager has the power to appoint 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 our manager. Our manager will be appointed as the asset manager to manage the underlying asset.
 
We may decide to enter into separate indemnification agreements with the directors and officers of our company, our manager or our asset manager (including if our manager or asset manager appointed is not Otis). 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 our company if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and the operating agreement.
  
Books and Reports
 
We are required to keep appropriate books of the business at our principal offices. The books will be maintained for both tax and financial reporting purposes on a basis that permits the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. For financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, the fiscal year and the tax year are the calendar year, unless otherwise determined by our manager in accordance with the Code. Our manager will file with the Commission periodic reports as required by applicable securities laws.
 
Under the Securities Act, we must update this offering circular upon the occurrence of certain events. We will file updated offering circulars and offering circular supplements with the Commission. Upon qualification of this offering, we will be subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Securities Act that are applicable to companies whose securities are qualified pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A, and accordingly, we will file annual reports, semiannual reports and other information with the Commission. In addition, we plan to provide holders of interests with periodic updates, including offering circulars, offering circular supplements, pricing supplements, information statements and other information.
 
We will provide such documents and periodic updates electronically through the Public Platform. As documents and periodic updates become available, we will notify holders of interests by sending an email message or a message through the Public Platform that will include instructions on how to retrieve the periodic updates and documents. If our email notification is returned to us as “undeliverable,” we will contact the holder by other means provided to obtain an updated email address. We will provide holders with copies via email or paper copies at any time upon request. The contents of the Public Platform are not incorporated by reference in or otherwise a part of this offering circular.
 
Exclusive Jurisdiction
 
Under Section 14.08 of our operating agreement, any dispute in relation to the operating agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and each investor will covenant and agree not to bring any such claim in any other venue. If a holder of the interests were to bring a claim against our company or our manager pursuant to the operating agreement, it would have to do so in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, for any reason, the Delaware Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction over an action, then the action may be brought in other federal or state courts located in Delaware.
 
We believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. We have adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by our management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows our officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on operations of our company.
 
63

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. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Further, 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 would require suits to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction to be brought in federal court located in Delaware. Investors will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations under those laws.
 
Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury 
 
Our operating agreement provides that each investor waives the right to a jury trial for any claim they may have against us arising out of, or relating to, the operating agreement and any transaction arising under the operating agreement, which could include claims under federal securities law. By subscribing to this offering and adhering to the operating agreement, the investor knowingly and voluntarily waives his or her jury trial rights. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law. For the avoidance of doubt, by subscribing to this offering and adhering to the operating agreement, the investor is not waiving our company’s compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations under those laws.
 
Secondary Trading
 
Public intends to launch an interface on the Public Platform that enables investors to buy and sell their holdings via the PPEX ATS. North Capital is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA and SIPC, and the PPEX ATS is registered with the Commission and FINRA on Form ATS. Our company will engage North Capital to receive orders to buy and sell from interest holders and will engage a broker-dealer to execute trades through the PPEX ATS. Any trades are subject to restrictions under state and federal securities laws, as well as the transfer restrictions included in our operating agreement (see “Securities Being Offered—Transfer Restrictions” above). State securities laws may result in the inability to execute a trade based on, for instance, the location of the buyer or seller, or the number of sales that a seller has undertaken in the prior 12 months. The availability of the aforementioned interface does not foreclose investors from either seeking liquidity outside of the Public Platform through direct negotiation with prospective secondary purchasers or by placing an order directly with the PPEX ATS after creating an account with PPEX ATS.
In addition, as discussed above, pursuant to the company’s operating agreement, secondary transfers are subject to certain restrictions and the discretion of our manager to waive those restrictions. As a result, investors may not be able to resell or otherwise alienate their interests in certain circumstances.
64

MATERIAL UNITED STATES TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the interests offered hereby to U.S. 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 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 U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought any ruling from 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 U.S. state or local or any non-U.S. jurisdiction or under U.S. 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:
 
 
banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions; 
 
 
persons subject to the alternative minimum tax; 
 
 
tax-exempt organizations; 
 
 
dealers in securities or currencies; 
 
 
traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; 
 
 
persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of the company’s interests (except to the extent specifically set forth below); 
 
 
certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; 
 
 
persons who hold the interests as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; 
 
 
persons who do not hold the interests as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, for investment purposes); or 
 
 
persons deemed to sell the 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 U.S. 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.
 
You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the interests arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax rules or under the laws of any U.S. state or local or any foreign taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.
 
Taxation of the company’s interests is intended to be as a “C” Corporation.
 
Taxation of Distributions to Investors

A “U.S. Holder” includes a beneficial owner of interests that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual citizen or resident of the United States.
 
Distributions to U.S. Holders current or accumulated earnings and profits (which would include any gains derived from the sale or exchange of the underlying asset), net of tax paid or accrued thereon, will be taxable to U.S. Holders 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 as to whether any dividends paid by the company would be “qualified dividend income.” Distributions in excess of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the company 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, a 3.8% tax applies to certain investment income (referred to as 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 (currently $7,500 of the highest tax bracket for such year). Dividends are included as investment income in the determination of “net investment income” under Section 1411(c) of the Code.
 
Taxation of Dispositions of Interests
 
Upon any taxable sale or other disposition of 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 (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on such disposition and (ii) 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, her or its initial amount paid for the interests and decreased by the amount of any distributions to the investor in excess of 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, we 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 under some circumstances to backup withholding at a current rate of 24% unless you establish an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding is 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 U.S. 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 U.S. federal, state and local and foreign tax consequences, if applicable, of purchasing, holding and disposing of the interests, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.
