MASTERWORKS 267, LLC

Preliminary Offering Circular

April 13, 2023

Subject to Completion

27,300 Class A ordinary shares

Representing Class A Limited Liability Company Interests

$546,000 Maximum Offering Amount

Masterworks 267, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed to facilitate an investment in a single work of art by Ayako Rokkaku, entitled “xUxnxtxixtxlxexdx” (the “Artwork” or the “Painting”) as described in an art purchase agreement, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 6.3 to the offering statement of which this offering circular is an integral part. We believe that, for many investors, our Class A shares represent an effective means to gain economic exposure to the Artwork and, by extension, to the fine art market.

We are offering up to $546,000 of our Class A shares representing Class A limited liability company interests, at an offering price of $20.00 per Class A share in a “Tier 2” offering under Regulation A (the “Offering”). We expect to offer Class A shares in this Offering until we raise the maximum amount being offered. The maximum offering period is 24 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 will be accepted on a rolling basis and the initial closing of the Offering and the final closing of the Offering will occur on a date or dates determined by the Company in its discretion. This Offering will commence on the date this Offering is qualified by the SEC. If any of the Class A shares offered remain unsold as of the final closing, such Class A shares shall be issued to Masterworks, in full satisfaction of its advance and the true-up as described in this Offering Circular. There is no minimum number of Class A shares or dollar amount that needs to be sold as a condition of any closing of this Offering. Subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable by investors but can be rejected by us.

The Company has not engaged commissioned sales agents or underwriters and we plan to distribute the Offering through the Masterworks Platform (as defined below). See “Plan of Distribution” in this Offering Circular for additional information.

Our affiliate Masterworks, LLC owns an online investment platform located at https://www.masterworks.com/ (the “Masterworks Platform”) that allows investors to acquire ownership of an interest in special purpose companies that invest in distinct artworks or a collection of artworks. Once an investor establishes a user profile on the Masterworks Platform, they can browse and screen potential artwork investments, view details of an investment and sign contractual documents online.

We do not currently intend to list the Class A shares for trading on a national securities exchange. We intend to facilitate secondary sales of Class A shares on an alternative trading system operated by Templum Markets LLC, referred to as the “Templum ATS,” commencing on or after the three-month anniversary of the date this Offering is fully subscribed. No assurance can be given that the Templum ATS will provide an effective means of selling your Class A shares or that the price at which any Class A shares are sold through the Templum ATS will be reflective of the fair value of the Class A shares or the Artwork.

No sales of Class A shares will be made prior to the qualification of the Offering Statement by the SEC. All Class A shares will be offered in all jurisdictions at the same price that is set forth in this offering circular.

The Class A shares are to be offered through the Masterworks Platform. Neither Masterworks, LLC nor any other affiliated entity involved in the offer and sale of the Class A shares is currently a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and no person associated with us will be deemed to be a broker solely by reason of his or her participation in the sale of the Class A shares.

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 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. We retain complete discretion to determine that subscribers are “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act) in reliance on the information and representations provided to us regarding their financial situation.

An investment in the Class A shares is subject to certain risks and should be made only by persons or entities able to bear the risk of and to withstand the total loss of their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider and review the information under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10.

The SEC does not pass upon the merits of or give its approval to any securities offered or the terms of the Offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering circular or other solicitation materials. These securities are offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); however, the SEC has not made an independent determination that the securities offered are exempt from registration.

We expect that our operations will not cause us to meet the definition of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), because (1) at all times our sole assets will consist only of cash and a single work of art referred to herein as the “Artwork,” neither of which is deemed to be a “security” for purposes of the 1940 Act, and (2) at all times we will not be engaged primarily in owning, holding, investing or trading in “securities” (as such term is used for purposes of the 1940 Act).

This offering circular is part of an offering statement that we filed with the SEC, using a continuous offering process pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning that while the offering of securities is continuous, active sales of securities may happen sporadically over the term of the offering. Further, the acceptance of subscriptions, whether via the Masterworks Platform or otherwise, may be briefly paused at times to allow us to effectively and accurately process and settle subscriptions that have been received. Periodically, we will provide an offering circular supplement that may add, update or change information contained in this offering circular. Any statement that we make in this offering circular will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement made by us in a subsequent offering circular supplement. The offering statement we filed with the SEC includes exhibits that provide more detailed descriptions of the matters discussed in this offering circular. You should read this offering circular and the related exhibits filed with the SEC and any offering circular supplement, together with additional information contained in our annual reports, semi-annual reports and other reports and information statements that we will file periodically with the SEC. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” below for more details.

STATE LAW EXEMPTION AND PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS

Our Class A shares are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, this Offering is exempt from state law “Blue Sky” review, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Class A shares offered hereby are offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” or at a time when our Class A shares are listed on a national securities exchange. “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 Class A shares 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). Accordingly, 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.

To determine whether a potential investor is an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who:

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.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this offering circular. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the Class A shares. You should read this entire offering circular carefully, especially the risks of investing in the Class A shares discussed under “Risk Factors,” before making an investment decision.

Overview

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on March 27, 2023 to facilitate an investment in the Artwork. Masterworks will manage all maintenance and entity-level administrative services relating to the Artwork and the Company. We will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to an investment in, maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the Artwork. Our strategy will be to display and promote the Artwork so as to enhance its value and broaden its exposure to the art-viewing public.

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 71 inches by 55 inches, at Phillips 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale on March 31, 2023 for HKD 3,810,000 or $491,581 based on the effective exchange rate provided by First Republic Bank. The acquisition of the Artwork by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that is wholly-owned by the Company is planned to occur on or before the initial closing of this Offering.

We are offering up to 27,300 Class A shares in this Regulation A+ Offering for aggregate proceeds of up to $546,000.

We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow unless and until the Artwork is sold and no profits will be realized by investors unless they are able to sell their Class A shares or the Artwork is sold. We will be totally reliant on Masterworks for entity-level and asset management services and the payment of all ordinary and routine operating costs, including those relating to our Company and the Artwork.

The Artist

Ayako Rokkaku (b. 1982, Chiba, Japan) is a self-taught contemporary Japanese artist who was born in 1982 in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. After completing her high school education, Rokkaku moved to Tokyo to attend art school at Musashino Art University. In 2003, Rokkaku won the Illustration Prize at KaiKai KiKi’s Geisai art fair, a biannual art fair founded by famed Japanese artist, Takashi Murakami. After this, she quickly made a name for herself with her vibrant and colorful paintings, which often incorporate elements of Japanese pop culture and street art. Rokkaku’s rise to fame came in the mid-2000s when she began exhibiting her work in Japan and internationally. In 2006, she won the prestigious Akio Goto Prize at the aforementioned Geisai art fair. Rokkaku’s work falls within a long lineage of celebrated Japanese artists and was shown alongside Yayoi Kusama and Yoshitomo Nara at Whitestone Gallery in 2017. Rokkaku’s work has been celebrated for its originality, energy, and playfulness, making her one of Japan’s most successful contemporary artists.

Rokkaku’s major solo exhibitions include “Fumble in colors, tiny discoveries” at the Museum Jan van der Togt, Amsterdam, Netherlands from June 2019 to August 2019, “Magic Hand” at the Chiba Prefectural Museum of Art, Japan from October 2020 to January 2021 and “Imagination For Flying Adventure” at Konig Gallery, London from May 2022 to June 2022. Her works can be found in the permanent collections of many prestigious institutions, including the Oketa Collection in Tokyo, Japan, the Powerlong Art Museum in Shanghai, China and the Museum Voorlinden, Netherlands.

The Art Market

The Art Market

The global art market is comprised of a network of auction houses, dealers, galleries, advisors, agents, individual collectors, museums, public institutions, and various experts and service providers engaged in the purchase and sale of unique and collectible works of art. Over the past decade, total estimated annual art sales have ranged from $50.1 billion to $68.2 billion and have grown at approximately 20% from 2006 through 2021.

Through the first half of 2022, global auction sales from Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillips totalled $7.4 billion in the first half of 2022, up 25% from $5.9 billion in the first half 2021 and over 300% from $1.8 billion in the first half of 2020. This rise in sales puts the premium end of the auction market at its highest level ever for the first six months of 2022. The only slowdown seemed to come from digital sales. After leveraging online platforms during the pandemic, the auction houses’ return to physical sales has slowed the growth of the Online-Only auction market. The three houses combined generated $437.7 million in Online-Only sales in the first half of 2022, which was down from $670.7 million during the same period in 2021 but still an increase from 2020, when Online-Only sales in the first half of the year totaled $394.7 million. Despite the moderate slow down, the major auction houses seem committed to building out their digital sale capabilities as a record 326,000 lots sold in the first half of 2022 versus 313,400 in the first half of 2021.

In general, the global art market is influenced by the overall strength and stability of the global economy, geopolitical conditions, capital markets and world events, all of which may affect the willingness of potential buyers and sellers to purchase and sell art. While the global art market is large, its exact size is unknown and statistical data is inconsistent. Much of the uncertainty stems from differing estimates of the size of the private dealer and gallery market, which is based on survey data, but disparities also exist in reported auction sales.

Observations on the Historical Progression of Art Prices

The following are general observations based on a repeat-sales index of historical art market prices computed based on a value weighted-basis and focused on the Post-War & Contemporary Art category, as developed by Masterworks:

Management Services

Pursuant to a management services agreement between us, Masterworks Cayman and Masterworks, to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the Offering, the Administrator will fund our ongoing operating costs and expenses and manage all management services relating to our business and the Artwork. In exchange for these services and as reimbursement for ordinary and necessary management costs and expenses, we will issue Class A preferred shares to the Administrator at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum, commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. These Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement. There is no overall limit to the number of shares that may be issued to pay these fees. Any extraordinary or non-routine costs, payments and expenses, if any, relating to our Company or the Artwork will be paid for by the Administrator, but will be reimbursed by us upon the sale of the Artwork. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would be permitted to charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer’s premium charged by Sotheby’s, Christie’s or Phillips in effect at such time.

Acquisition of the Artwork

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 71 inches by 55 inches, at Phillips 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale on March 31, 2023 for HKD 3,810,000 or $491,581 based on the effective exchange rate provided by First Republic Bank. The acquisition of the Artwork by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that is wholly-owned by the Company is planned to occur on or before the initial closing of this Offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this Offering to contribute to a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman to acquire the Artwork, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Masterworks will advance such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with any unsold Class A shares, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. No interest will accrue on the Masterworks advance. Following the initial closing, title to the Artwork will be held in such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman. The Artwork will be the only asset of the segregated portfolio, and we will be the only shareholder of that segregated portfolio.

Sale of the Artwork or the Class A shares

We, in our sole and absolute discretion, will be able to execute a sale of the Artwork at any time and in any manner and, after distribution of the proceeds of such sale, we intend to liquidate our Company. The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. There is no guaranty that any such means for holders of Class A shares to sell those shares or any sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time.

Organizational Structure

The following diagram reflects the planned organizational structure and the material relationships between us and Masterworks that will exist following the Offering:

*All entities are Delaware limited liability companies, except Masterworks Cayman, SPC, which is a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company.

An investment in the Class A shares includes a number of risks and uncertainties which are described in the “Risk Factors” section of this offering circular, including the following:

Company Information

We are a manager-managed limited liability company, managed by the Board of Managers. Our principal office is located at 225 Liberty Street, 29th Floor, New York, New York 10281 and our phone number is (203) 518-5172. Our corporate website address is the website address of Masterworks at www.masterworks.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, the website is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this offering circular.

THE OFFERING

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The Offering size equals the sum of (a) the estimated purchase price that Masterworks anticipates paying for the Artwork, $491,581, plus (b) approximately 11% of such amount (approximately 10% of the maximum aggregate offering amount), or $54,419 as an upfront payment, or “true-up” payable to Masterworks. The initial price per Class A share was randomly determined by Masterworks and is calculated by dividing (1) the Offering size by (2) 27,300, which is the maximum number of Class A shares that will be sold in this Offering (or issued to Masterworks if any remain unsold).

Masterworks Gallery owns 1,000 Class B shares, representing a 20% “profits interest” in the Company and will own Class A shares if and to the extent the Offering is not fully subscribed, since any unsold Class A shares will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. Masterworks determined the amount of the true-up by considering the services provided by it and costs incurred by it which are not otherwise reimbursed by the Company or Class A shareholders, including: (i) sourcing services, such as identification of the seller, research, analysis, evaluation, inspection, appraisal, due diligence and transaction negotiation and execution services to acquire the Artwork; (ii) commitments of Masterworks capital to finance the acquisition of the Artwork, and (iii) other administrative services and costs. The true-up is the only expense incurred by the Company and the only expense directly or indirectly incurred by investors in this Offering associated with sourcing and financing the Artwork and no other expense is directly or indirectly paid by the Company or investors in connection with the organization of the Company, the securitization of the Artwork or in connection with this Offering, including the marketing and underwriting of this Offering. Prior to this Offering, no public market exists for the Class A shares, and there can be no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the Class A shares. The Company believes that based on the arms-length ultimate purchase price of the Artwork, historical appreciation rates of similar artworks by the same artist and other factors, the per share offering price will constitute a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the Class A shares as of the date of this Offering Circular.

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

We have not declared or paid dividends on the Class A shares since our formation and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future on any shares, unless and until the Artwork is sold, at which point we will pay any expenses for which we are responsible and make a liquidating distribution to our shareholders in accordance with our operating agreement. There can be no assurance as to the timing of a liquidating distribution or that we will pay a liquidating distribution at all. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends and if any are to be paid in the future, such decision will be at the discretion of our Board of Managers and will depend on our then current financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Managers.

RISK FACTORS

The purchase of the Class A shares offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. Each prospective investor should consult his, her or its own counsel, accountant and other advisors as to legal, tax, business, financial, and related aspects of an investment in the securities offered hereby. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following specific risk factors, in addition to the other information set forth in this offering circular, before purchasing the securities offered hereby.

Risks Related to our Business Model

The Company is a new company and our business model is untested.

The Company is a new company that was formed on March 27, 2023 and had no operating history. We cannot make any assurance that our business model can be successful. Since inception, the scope of our operations has been limited to our formation. Our operations will be dedicated to acquiring and maintaining the Artwork and facilitating the ultimate sale of the Artwork. We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow until the Artwork is sold and no profits will be realized by our investors unless the Artwork is sold for more than we acquire it for and there are sufficient funds after all applicable costs and expenses in order to effectuate a distribution to holders of our Class A shares. Few companies other than Masterworks entities have issued securities that represent indirect ownership in an artwork with the sole goal of realizing appreciation on the value of that artwork. It is difficult to predict whether this business model will succeed or if there will ever be any profits realized from an investment in the Class A shares.

We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues and rely on the Administrator to fund our operations.

We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow unless and until the Artwork is sold. No profits can be realized by our investors unless the Artwork is sold for more than we acquire it and there are sufficient funds to effectuate a distribution after paying the applicable costs, fees and expenses, or the investors sell their Class A shares. Accordingly, we will be completely reliant on Masterworks to fund our operations.

We are extremely undiversified since our strategy is to achieve capital appreciation from a single work of art.

Our Company was formed to facilitate an investment in, maintain and potentially sell the Artwork. We will not invest in any other artwork or assets or conduct any other operations that could generate income. Such lack of diversification creates a concentration risk that may make an investment in the Class A shares riskier than an investment in a diversified pool of assets or business with more varied operations. Aggregate returns realized by investors are expected to correlate to the change in value of the Artwork, which may not correlate to changes in the overall art market or any segment of the art market.

The Artwork may be sold at a loss or at a price that results in a distribution that is below the purchase price of the Class A shares, or no distribution at all.

Any sale of the Artwork 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 Class A shares. We intend to hold the Artwork for an extended period of time and may choose to sell the Artwork opportunistically if market conditions are favorable, which we believe is necessary to achieve optimal returns. Although the value of the Artwork may decline in the future, we have no current intention nor economic incentive to sell the Artwork 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 shareholders. Lastly, circumstances may arise that may compel us to sell the Artwork at an inopportune time and potentially at a loss, such as if we face litigation, regulatory challenges or if Masterworks ceases to exist. Investors should be prepared to hold their Class A shares for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares can ever be resold or that the Artwork can ever be sold or that any sale would occur at a price that would result in a distribution of more than $20.00 per Class A share.

The timing and potential price of a sale of the Artwork are impossible to predict, so investors need to be prepared to own the Class A shares for an uncertain or even indefinite period of time.

We intend to hold the Artwork for an indefinite period, although the Artwork will be perpetually available for sale following the Offering and we will evaluate any reasonable third party offers to acquire the Artwork. In addition, the occurrence of certain events may compel us to sell the Artwork. Accordingly, a risk of investing in the Class A shares is the unpredictability of the timing of a sale of the Artwork and the unpredictability of funds being available for cash distribution 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 the Offering. An investment in the Class A shares is unsuitable for investors that are not prepared to hold their Class A shares for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares can ever be resold or that the Artwork can be sold within any specific timeframe, or at all.

Our business model involves certain costs, some of which are to be paid for in the issuance of equity which will have a dilutive effect on the holders of our Class A shares and has priority upon a liquidating event.

There are various services required to administer our business and maintain the Artwork. Pursuant to a management services agreement among us, Masterworks Cayman and the Administrator to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the Offering, the Administrator will manage all entity-level and asset management services relating to our business and the maintenance of the Artwork. The Administrator will pay all ordinary and necessary costs and expenses associated with the administration of our business and maintenance of the Artwork. Because we do not expect to maintain cash reserves or generate any cash flow, we will be completely reliant on the Administrator to fund our operations. In exchange for these services and incurring these costs and expenses, the Administrator will receive equity interests in us in the form of Class A preferred shares. These equity issuances to Masterworks will, subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement, effectively result in dilution of 1.5% per annum to Class A shareholders in their indirect ownership of the Artwork. Such dilutive issuances, which will commence following the final closing of the Offering, will have a dilutive effect on the holders of our Class A shares and will effectively reduce the tangible book value per Class A share over time. In addition, we remain responsible to reimburse the Administrator for third-party costs associated with extraordinary or non-routine services. Accordingly, while ordinary costs and expenses are fixed pursuant to the management services agreement, investors may suffer losses or a reduction of returns associated with extraordinary or non-routine costs and expenses. In addition, the holders of Class A preferred shares have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over the holders of Class A ordinary shares. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the Administrator (or an affiliate of the Administrator that holds the Class A preferred shares) would receive liquidation proceeds, if any, prior to the holders of Class A ordinary shares.

In the event we are able to sell the Artwork, your potential investment returns will be lower than the actual appreciation in value of the Artwork due to applicable commissions, fees and expenses.

In the event the Artwork is sold, your distribution of cash proceeds will be reduced by commissions, fees and expenses incurred as a result of administering, marketing and selling the Artwork, as well as dilution from Class A share issuances to the Administrator pursuant to the management services agreement. Transaction costs incurred as part of the sale of the Artwork will differ depending on whether we choose or are able to sell the Artwork privately or through a public auction. In a public auction, the principal transaction costs are a seller’s commission and buyer’s premium (a form of selling commission, based on a graduated scale set by each auction house), both of which reduce the net proceeds received by a seller from what a buyer ultimately pays. The final reported sales price includes the hammer price (i.e. the price at which the auctioneer declared the winning bid), and the buyer’s premium. The buyer may also separately incur additional sales or VAT taxes, fees or royalties. A seller typically receives the hammer price less the seller’s commission, if any. The economic terms negotiated between the seller and the auction house can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the value and importance of the specific work, whether the work is sold as an individual piece or part of a larger collection, anticipated demand levels, and other factors. In addition, the proceeds receivable by a seller are less favorable if the work is subject to a pre-auction guaranty. If we sell the Artwork in private transactions, there may be sales commissions payable to third parties who arrange for the sale transaction or, if no seller’s agent is engaged in connection with such sale, Masterworks may charge a sales commission in connection with such sale. While we believe we may be able to substantially reduce the transaction costs of selling the Artwork, they will not be entirely eliminated.

In addition, Masterworks will be entitled to its 20% profits interest in respect of its ownership of Class B shares, plus Class A preferred shares issued by us pursuant to the management services agreement. Accordingly, your investment returns upon a sale of the Artwork, if such a sale can occur and if such sale can generate sufficient funds for a distribution after accounting for applicable fees and expenses, may be significantly lower than the actual rate of appreciation of the Artwork.

Risks Associated with an Investment in the Artwork

There is no assurance of appreciation of the Artwork or sufficient cash distributions resulting from the ultimate sale of the Artwork.

There is no assurance that the Artwork will appreciate, maintain its present value, or be sold at a profit. The marketability and value of the Artwork will depend upon many factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that there will be a ready market for the Artwork, since investment in artwork is generally illiquid, nor is there any assurance that sufficient cash will be generated from the sale of the Artwork to compensate investors for their investment. Even if the Artwork does appreciate in value, the rate of appreciation may be insufficient to cover our management costs and expenses.

The value of the Artwork is subjective.

The value of the Artwork is inherently subjective given its unique character. The acquisition of the Artwork by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that is wholly-owned by the Company is planned to occur on or before the initial closing of this Offering. The future realizable value of a fine artwork may differ widely from its estimated or appraised value for a variety of reasons, many of which are unpredictable and impossible to discern. In addition, the net realizable value to a seller at auction is often significantly lower than the published sale price because the net proceeds are typically reduced by all or a portion of the buyer’s premium and there may also be a sales commission.

For non-cash generating assets, such as fine art, valuation is heavily reliant on an analysis of sales history of similar artwork. Experts often differ on which historical sales are comparable and the degree of comparability. The attempt to discern value from historical sales data is extremely challenging for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation:

Accordingly, due to the inherent subjectivity involved in estimating the realizable value of the Artwork, any appraisal or estimate of realizable value may prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be different than the amount ultimately realized upon sale and such differences can be, and often are, material.

Since the valuation of high-end artwork relies in large part on an analysis of historical auction sales, it is more difficult to accurately determine fair value of artwork by artists that have fewer auction sales.

Certain artists such as Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso have a relatively large global collector base and a well-established track record of auction sales over a lengthy period. These artists were also extremely prolific during their careers, so their artwork is frequently bought and sold at auction. This relatively large volume of data makes estimates of historical pricing trends and fair value ranges for artwork produced by these artists more reliable. By contrast, valuation of works by other artists who have a smaller collector base and or a shorter track record of auction sales is comparatively more difficult and such assessments are generally prone to wider margins of error. When assessing the historical auction performance of artwork by a particular artist, investors are urged to consider the volume of public auction data available. As a general matter, historical pricing trends and fair value estimates are more likely to be more accurate for artists with higher volumes of prior auction sales than pricing trends and estimates for artists that have fewer historical auction sales. Accordingly, there is a higher risk that we may overpay for, or misprice, artwork by artists with fewer auction sales than those with higher volumes of prior auction sales.

Our appraisal of the fair value of the Artwork may not be reflective of the value of the Class A shares or the realizable value of the Artwork.

We, together with Masterworks, will estimate the fair value of the Artwork for purposes of preparing our annual and semi-annual financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. For the reasons set forth elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, any such valuation is inherently subjective and may not represent the actual realizable value of the Artwork. In addition, because an investment in the Company represents not just the physical Artwork, but also our administrative, cost, tax and governance structure, coupled with the fact that the timing of a sale of the Artwork is unknown, the value of the Class A shares may be significantly different than the proportionate indirect ownership of the Artwork that they represent. In addition, our Board of Managers will consider a variety of factors in making any determination to sell the Artwork and the appraised value of the Artwork may not be indicative of the price at which our Board of Managers would determine to sell the Artwork.

An investment in the Artwork is subject to various risks, any of which could materially impair the value of the Artwork and the market value of our Class A shares.

Investing in the Artwork is subject to the following risks:

Although, acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Artwork, the purchase or closing of which has not yet occurred, and will conduct due diligence in connection with its purchase of the Artwork, no amount of due diligence can completely insulate a buyer against these risks and if any of these risks materialize, the value of the Artwork may decline, and the value of the Class A shares would be adversely affected.

If the Artwork is eventually displayed in a gallery space or other location, it could be damaged, and insurance may not cover all of the damages, or even if insurance does cover the damages, it may cause the Artwork to be unsaleable.

It is planned that the Artwork will be permanently stored and displayed in the United States, though it might be displayed internationally. We plan to obtain and maintain insurance coverage for the Artwork. However, the Artwork may be damaged while being displayed and our insurance may not be able to cover all of the damages resulting therefrom, and even if insurance does cover such damages, the damages may result in the Artwork being unsaleable. Accordingly, damage or destruction of the Artwork will have a material adverse impact on the value of the Artwork and, consequently, the value of the Class A shares.

We may not be able to find a buyer for the Artwork at a reasonable price.

Art is a highly illiquid asset and a significant percentage of objects go unsold when sent to auction. Even in the event that we attempt to sell the Artwork, we cannot guarantee that there will be a buyer at any reasonable price. Additionally, if the Artwork does go to an auction sale and is not sold, such failure could damage the reputation of the Artwork in the marketplace and make it even more difficult to sell in the future.

Temporary popularity of some artworks or categories of art may result in short-term value increases that prove unsustainable as collector tastes shift.

Temporary consumer popularity or “fads” among collectors may lead to short-term or temporary price increases, followed by decreases in value. The demand for specific categories of art and artists is influenced by changing trends in the art market as to which collecting categories and artists are most sought after and by the collecting preferences of individual collectors. These conditions and trends are difficult to predict and may adversely impact our ability to sell the Artwork for a profit. These risks of changes in popularity may be greater for a living or emerging artist, as compared to other categories which may have a proven valuation track record over a longer period of time. These trends could result in reduced profitability or a loss upon the sale of the Artwork.

We could be exposed to losses in the event of title or authenticity claims.

The buying and selling of artwork can involve potential claims regarding title, provenance and or authenticity of the artwork. Authenticity risk related to works of art may result from incorrect attribution, uncertain attribution, lack of certificate proving the authenticity of the artwork, purchase of a non-authentic artwork, or forgery. In the event of a title or authenticity claim against us by a buyer of the Artwork from us, we would seek recourse against the seller of the Artwork pursuant to authenticity and title representations obtained at the time of purchase, but a claim could nevertheless expose us to losses. In addition, we do not maintain liquid assets to defend or settle any such legal claims and would be reliant on the Administrator to outlay the cost of such defense or settlement.

Ownership of the artist’s work may be concentrated, and any large-scale divestiture of a collection could negatively affect prices.

If any major collector were to liquidate a large number of artworks by the artist, the supply and demand dynamic could shift dramatically. A significant increase in the number of artworks by the artist available for sale could reduce prices.

The Artwork could be subject to damage, theft or deterioration in condition, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Artwork.

We plan to store the Artwork in a protected environment with security measures, but no amount of security can fully protect an artwork from damage or theft. The damage or theft of valuable property, despite these security measures could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Artwork and, consequently, the value of our Class A shares. The Company maintains insurance, but there is no guaranty that such coverage would be adequate to mitigate all of such losses.

Changes in opinions by experts in the artwork regarding authenticity could damage or eliminate the value of the Artwork.

Authenticity is often completed by art world experts, and opinions often matter more than scientific data. If a well-respected art expert were to opine negatively on the authenticity of the Artwork, it could reduce or eliminate the value of the Artwork.

Insurance coverage for the Artwork does not cover title claims and may not cover all possible contingencies, exposing us to losses resulting from the damage or loss of the Artwork.

We plan to maintain insurance coverage for the Artwork against damage or loss of the Artwork. Our insurance coverage does not cover title claims and may expressly exclude damage caused by war, losses caused by chemical or biological contamination and certain other potential loss scenarios. Accordingly, in the event of a successful claim that we do not have valid title and ownership to the Artwork we would rely solely on the representations obtained from the seller to compensate us for such losses, which may prove to be inadequate. In addition, uncovered damage or destruction of the Artwork that is not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse impact on the value of our Class A shares.

Industry sales cycles can be unpredictable.

Purchase behavior by collectors is generally unpredictable due primarily to the discretionary nature, relative scarcity and high values of art purchases. An art buyer may typically purchase art when excess liquidity is abundant. When economic conditions preclude art collectors from purchasing the Artwork, such a downturn in sales will affect our ability to sell the Artwork. Additionally, many art buyers have significant access to credit to facilitate the purchase of artwork and any changes which would cause art collectors to not access credit could have a serious impact on a collector’s ability to purchase the Artwork.

Purchasing the Artwork in a privately negotiated transaction may involve greater risk than purchasing artwork at a public auction.

There are differences between purchasing artwork in a private transaction and purchasing at a public auction. Auctions are generally conducted by large companies that often perform higher levels of research and due diligence than private galleries or agents. Auction houses typically have greater financial and other resources as compared to private galleries or agents. Accordingly, if an authenticity claim were to arise, an auction house would likely have greater financial resources (and or higher levels of insurance coverage) to be able to address such claims than private galleries or agents. In addition, sales practices by auction houses are regulated by laws in the countries in which they operate. These laws vary by jurisdiction, but generally prevent unfair and improper practices and require certain mandatory disclosures. By contrast, private galleries and agents are largely unregulated and operate under general legal principles of agency which do not necessarily require the level of fairness, transparency and disclosure that apply to public auctions. Accordingly, there may be higher risks attendant to purchasing artwork in privately negotiated transactions.

Risks Related to our Reliance on Masterworks

We are totally reliant on the Administrator to maintain and sell the Artwork and manage our administrative services.

We do not plan to have employees or intend to maintain or generate any cash flow prior to the sale of the Artwork. Accordingly, we are totally reliant on the performance of the Administrator under the management services agreement to effectuate the decisions of our Board of Managers. We plan to rely on the Administrator to perform or administer all necessary services to maintain the Artwork, including obtaining insurance and ensuring appropriate storage. The Administrator is also responsible for all management services required to maintain our Company, including professional services, regulatory filings, SEC reporting, tax filings and other matters. The Administrator is a newly formed company and has not yet developed a track record of successful performance of these activities. If the Administrator were to default on its obligations under the management services agreement, it would be extremely difficult for us to replace the Administrator or internally manage these functions given our lack of cash flow and lack of employees. Accordingly, in the event of a material default by the Administrator under the management services agreement, we would likely be forced to sell the Artwork. We cannot provide assurance that the timing and or terms of any such sale would be favorable. Further, Masterworks can withdraw for any reason from its position as our Administrator, provided that such withdrawal would only become effective upon a sale of the Artwork.

We are totally reliant on the Administrator to maintain sufficient capital resources to pay our fees, costs and expenses.

Although we believe the Administrator has sufficient capital resources and sources of liquidity to perform its obligations under the management services agreement for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that the Administrator will be able to maintain sufficient capital to satisfy its obligations in future periods. The Administrator’s capital resources and sources of liquidity will be relied upon by our auditors in determining our likely ability to continue as a going concern. Pursuant to and in accordance with the management services agreement, the Administrator is required to maintain cash reserves on hand for so long as the Class A shares remain outstanding sufficient to pay at least one year of estimated expenses to satisfy its obligations under the management services agreement. However, there can be no assurance that the Administrator will be able to maintain such cash reserves. If the Administrator’s liquid capital resources and sources of liquidity are insufficient to satisfy its operational requirements, including the management of our Company, for at least one year, our Company may receive qualified audit reports that would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of our Class A shares.

The Board of Managers will have complete authority to administer our business consistent with the terms and conditions of our operating agreement, other than certain amendments to the operating agreement and the management services agreement.

The Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters, including: mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, winding up and dissolution; except, the Board of Managers shall not have the authority to do any of the following without first obtaining the prior approval or consent of the holders of a majority of the voting shares, except as otherwise set forth therein:

Additionally, we, in our sole and absolute discretion, may decide to sell the Artwork at any time and in any manner.

The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. There is no guaranty that any sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time. Masterworks will be entitled to reimbursement for costs and expenses associated with any such transaction and may earn fees for such transactions to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and there can be no assurance that there will be any remaining net proceeds to be distributed after payment of such costs and expenses.

This concentration of control in the Board of Managers may delay, deter or prevent acts that would be favored by holders of our Class A shares. The interests of the Board of Managers or the Administrator may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of the holders of our Class A shares. As a result, the market price of our Class A shares could decline, or holders of our Class A shares might not receive a premium over the then-current market price of our Class A shares upon a change in control.

Holders of our Class A shares do not elect or vote on the Board of Managers and have limited ability to influence decisions regarding our business.

Our operating agreement provides that our assets, affairs and business will be managed under the direction of the Board of Managers. Holders of our Class A shares do not elect or vote on the Board of Managers and, except for removal rights granted to an affiliate of Masterworks that invests in our Class A shares, members of the Board of Managers can only be removed by (i) a majority of the existing Board of Managers, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the voting shares and only for “cause”, as defined in the operating agreement. Accordingly, unlike the holders of common stock in a corporation, holders of Class A shares have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business, and therefore limited ability to influence decisions regarding our business.

As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for a board of directors or independent board committees.

We do not intend to list the Class A shares on a national securities exchange. As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer listing on a national stock exchange would be. The Board of Managers is made up of Nigel Glenday, Joshua B. Goldstein, and Eli D. Broverman. One of the members of the Board of Managers, Eli D. Broverman, serves as the Independent Manager on the Board of Managers (the “Independent Manager”). The Independent Manager serves to protect the interests of the holders of the Class A shares and is tasked with reviewing and approving all related party transactions of our Company with our affiliates and address all conflicts of interest that may arise between us and the holders of the Class A shares and our affiliates. If the Independent Manager resigns from such position on the Board of Managers at any time, the remaining members of the Board of Managers shall appoint a replacement that meets the standards of an independent director pursuant to the standards set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). Accordingly, we do not have, nor are we required to have (i) a board of directors of which a majority consists of “independent” directors under the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (ii) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (iii) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (iv) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (v) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a company listed on a national stock exchange.

Risk of non-compliance with regulations, including a risk of Masterworks being deemed to be operating as an unregistered broker-dealer.

The Company has not engaged underwriters in connection with the Offering, but the Company will have an arrangement with Arete RIA whereby investment adviser representatives of Arete RIA will be dedicated to providing advisory services to persons who have expressed an interest in investing in Masterworks offerings, including this Offering. In light of the Company’s arrangement with Arete RIA, if the SEC were to determine that Masterworks, which is not a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any state securities laws, has engaged in brokerage activities that require registration, including initial sale of the Class A shares on the Masterworks Platform and permitting a registered broker-dealer to facilitate resales or other liquidity of the Class A shares on the Masterworks Platform, Masterworks may need to discontinue or suspend certain operations, which would likely be harmful to its business and reputation. In addition, if Masterworks is found to have operated as a ‘broker-dealer’ without being properly registered, there is a risk that Class A shares offered and sold while Masterworks was not registered may be subject to a right of rescission, which may result in the early termination of the Offering. An unregistered broker-dealer may also face sanctions, penalties and enforcement actions by regulatory authorities. Since the Company is reliant on Masterworks to administer its operations and the Artwork, any regulatory development that is damaging to Masterworks may have a material adverse effect on the Company and Class A shareholders.

Further, if Masterworks Investor Services or another Masterworks affiliated entity were required to register as a broker and/or dealer, Masterworks would be subject to higher compliance costs and periodic examinations and, as a result, Masterworks would likely be required to change aspects of its business processes, fee structure and communications.

Our amended and restated operating agreement designates the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for disputes between us and our shareholders involving claims under the Securities Act, which, if enforced by the courts, will restrict our shareholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for Securities Act disputes.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our amended and restated operating agreement provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ constitutive documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a shareholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our amended and restated operating agreement. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a Securities Act claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees. If a court were to find the exclusive-forum provision in our amended and restated operating agreement to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could seriously harm our financial condition.

Risks Relating to Potential Conflicts of Interest

Masterworks financial arrangements may result in misalignment between its interests and the interests of Class A shareholders.

Masterworks and its affiliates will have substantially complete discretion to determine when and if to sell the Artwork. Since Masterworks earns management fees and incurs maintenance and other ongoing costs for so long as the Artwork is owned by us, Masterworks may have economic incentives or disincentives to sell the Artwork that are misaligned with the interests of shareholders. Accordingly, there is a risk that Masterworks and its affiliates will have conflicts of interest and no assurance can be given that any such conflicts will be resolved in a manner that is in the best interests of shareholders.

Although Masterworks will own 1,000 Class B shares representing a 20% profits interest in our Company, and will own Class A shares following the Offering, Masterworks may eventually sell its shares.

Masterworks currently owns and will own 1,000 Class B shares representing a 20% profits interest in our Company following the Offering and will own Class A shares if and to the extent the Offering is undersubscribed, as well as Class A preferred shares issuable to Masterworks pursuant to the management services agreement. Masterworks cannot transfer any Class A shares issuable to Masterworks pursuant to the management services agreement prior to the applicable vesting date, as may be extended or shortened in accordance with the management services agreement. Masterworks has also agreed to lock-up provisions in our operating agreement, that will prohibit it from selling any Class B shares prior to the one-year anniversary of the Offering, though it is permitted to pledge all of its shares to unaffiliated third-party lenders and such lenders shall not be subject to the lock-up if they obtain ownership of the profits interest in connection with a default by Masterworks on its indebtedness. Masterworks will have no restrictions on the disposition of any of its Class B shares after the one-year anniversary of the Offering and no restrictions on the disposition of its Class A shares once they vest, other than restrictions imposed by the management services agreement and applicable securities laws. Accordingly, the alignment that will exist upon the final closing of the Offering between Masterworks and our other shareholders may not exist in the future. If Masterworks were to sell a significant portion of its shares, the interests of Masterworks may differ significantly from those of investors in the Offering and subsequent holders of the Class A shares. As a result, we cannot assure investors that Masterworks will execute a discretionary sale of the Artwork at a time that is in the best interests of holders of the Class A shares.

A Masterworks affiliate may invest in this Offering, which creates a risk that such Masterworks affiliate will seek to execute a secondary offering that could make it more difficult to sell your shares.

Masterworks intends to sponsor offerings representing an investment in a portfolio of artwork and artwork investments and such portfolio may include an investment in our Class A shares. Any such investment would be made for cash consideration at the same price and upon the same terms as offered to other investors in this Offering, although the entity conducting such offering would have the right to replace or reconstitute our Board of Managers. In the event any such affiliate of Masterworks invests in our Class A shares, the Masterworks affiliate may elect to sell its interest in our Class A shares in a secondary offering. Such entity, as the selling shareholder, together with Masterworks, would determine the price at which such transaction is executed. Although Masterworks would be responsible for all of the costs and expenses of any such secondary sale transaction, the possibility that a large block of shares could be available for sale in the future may make it more difficult for investors in this Offering to sell their shares on the Templum ATS or other trading platform and could depress the price you would realize upon such sale.

Masterworks and Members of the Board of Managers and executive officers will have other business interests and obligations to other entities, including interests and obligations relating to the art industry.

Masterworks expects to engage in other business activities, including other activities relating to the art industry. Masterworks may buy and sell other works of art, enter into pre-auction guarantees, operate a gallery (for viewing purposes), establish other entities similar to us and other activities. In addition, neither the Administrator nor its executive officers nor the Board of Managers will be required to manage us as their sole and exclusive function and they will have other business interests and will engage in other activities in addition to those relating to us. We are dependent on the Administrator and its officers and employees to successfully operate us. Their other business interests and activities could divert time and attention from operating our business.

Masterworks may receive fees from a buyer of the Artwork if it sells the Artwork without engaging an intermediary.

Masterworks may determine to sell Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, Masterworks would be permitted to charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer’s premium charged by Sotheby’s, Christie’s or Phillips in effect at such time.

Our operating agreement contains provisions that exculpate the Board of Managers and the management services agreement contains provisions that exculpate the Administrator and its affiliates, and certain other persons engaged on behalf of the Administrator from liabilities with respect to certain actions taken, even if such actions are negligent, which also reduces the remedies available to investors for certain acts by such persons.

Our operating agreement limits the liability of the Board of Managers, any of our members, any person who is an officer of ours and any person who serves at the request of the Board of Managers on behalf of us as an officer, director, members of the Board of Managers, Independent Manager, partner, member, stockholder or employee of such person. The management services agreement limits the liability of the Administrator, its affiliates, managers, officers and members. None of the foregoing persons shall be liable to us or the Administrator or any other member of us for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by other person with respect to us, including any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a liability resulting from any of the foregoing person’s own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duties that have not been waived, reckless disregard of duty or any intentional and material breach of the operating agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). With the prior consent of the Board of Managers, any of the foregoing persons may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to our affairs (including interpretations of the operating agreement) and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants. In determining whether any of the foregoing persons acted with the requisite degree of care, such person shall be entitled to rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of the members of the Board of Managers, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and professional advisors of us selected with reasonable care; provided, that no such person may rely upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false. The foregoing limitations on liability reduce the remedies available to the holders of the Class A shares for actions taken which may negatively affect us.

Representatives of registered investment advisers introduced to you through the Masterworks website are dedicated to selling and or advising on Masterworks securities and have conflicts of interest.

Certain investment adviser representatives of Arete Wealth Advisors, LLC, or Arete RIA, are exclusively dedicated to providing advisory services with respect to Masterworks financial products. Masterworks, directly or indirectly, pays the compensation of these individuals and so they have conflicts of interest and lack the independence of other investment professionals who may provide more generalized investment advice. While these individuals have regulatory duties to investors, including fiduciary duties, such individuals are exclusively dedicated to the provision of advisory services of Masterworks financial products. Accordingly, such individuals will not provide you with recommendations or advice on investing in other traditional or alternative asset categories. They have direct or indirect financial incentives to convince you to invest in Masterworks’ sponsored offerings, including this Offering.

Our appraisal of the fair market value of the Artwork may differ from the appraisal that would be issued by an independent third-party and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any appraisal issued by the Company or Masterworks.

Masterworks performs appraisals of artwork in conformity with the 2022-2023 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), although potential conflicts of interest may call into question standards related to appraiser independence. Members of the appraisal team are employees of Masterworks and Masterworks may have conflicts of interest in performing appraisals. Accordingly, our appraisal of the fair market value of the Artwork may differ from the appraisal that would be issued by an independent third party and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any appraisal issued by the Company or Masterworks.

Risks Relating to Ownership of the Class A shares and the Offering

Our Class A shareholders will have very limited voting rights and we will have the ability to sell the Artwork without shareholder approval.

Our operating agreement provides that the assets, affairs and business of our Company will be managed under the direction of our Board of Managers. Our Board of Managers, in their sole and absolute discretion, will have the ability to sell the Artwork at any time and in any manner. Our shareholders do not elect or vote on our Board of Managers. Our Class A shareholders will have voting rights only with respect to certain matters, primarily relating to amendments to our operating agreement or the management services agreement that would adversely change the rights of the Class A shares or to remove and replace the Administrator. Each outstanding Class A share entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, provided, that Class A shares beneficially owned by Masterworks, if any, and shares held by certain shareholders that irrevocably elect to limit or eliminate their voting rights, if any, shall not vote. Generally, matters to be voted on by our shareholders must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by all Class A shares present in person or represented by proxy, although the vote to remove a member of the Board of Managers for “cause” or to remove and replace the Administrator requires a two-thirds vote. If any vote occurs, you will be bound by the majority or supermajority vote, as applicable, even if you did not vote with the majority or supermajority.

Your voting interest in the Company will vary over time depending upon the number of shares held by Masterworks and the number of shares, if any, for which our shareholders have irrevocably elected to limit or eliminate their voting rights.

Shares beneficially owned by Masterworks shall have no voting rights for so long as they are beneficially owned by Masterworks. In addition, shareholders that beneficially own 5% or more of the Class A shares may irrevocably elect to limit or eliminate their voting rights. In our operating agreement we refer to each of these shareholders as a “Vote Limited Member”. Non-voting shares are not counted in the determination of a quorum for purposes of calling a shareholder meeting or in determining whether or not a vote relating to a shareholder action has received the requisite percentage of support. Any election by a shareholder to become a Vote Limited Member would effectively increase the voting power held by our other Class A shareholders. Conversely, if Masterworks or a Vote Limited Member were to sell its Class A shares to a non-affiliate, the purchaser of such shares would have full voting rights with respect to such Class A shares, which would reduce the voting power held by other Class A shareholders. A large change in the outstanding voting power of the Company could result in a shareholder gaining or losing “affiliate” status, which could have securities law implications since shares held by affiliates, which are deemed “control” securities, are not freely tradeable under federal securities laws. We cannot predict whether any shareholder will elect to become a Vote Limited Member, how many Class A shares may be affected by any such election or when or if Masterworks or any Vote Limited Member will sell any of its Class A shares. Accordingly, while Class A shareholders can determine the minimum voting rights they will hold, which is equal to their percentage ownership of the total number of Class A shares outstanding at any point in time, they cannot predict the actual share of the vote they may hold from time to time. Accordingly, it will be difficult for shareholders to determine their level of voting power at any point in time.

There is no active public market for our Class A shares and an active trading market may not ever develop or, even if developed, may not be available to all shareholders, may not be sustained or may cease to exist following this Offering, which would adversely impact the market for our Class A shares and make it difficult, or even impossible, to sell your Class A shares.

There is no active market for our Class A shares. We do not plan to list the Class A shares for trading on a national securities exchange, but we intend to facilitate secondary sales of Class A shares on an alternative trading system operated by Templum Markets LLC, referred to as the “Templum ATS,” commencing on or after the three-month anniversary of the date this Offering is fully subscribed. No assurance can be given that the Templum ATS will provide an effective means of selling your Class A shares or that the price at which any Class A shares are sold through the Templum ATS is reflective of the fair value of the Class A shares or the Artwork. We do not know the extent to which investor interest will lead to the development and maintenance of a liquid market. In light of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the relatively small market capitalization of the Company, we cannot guarantee the Templum ATS will provide a reliable or effective means of price discovery. Any posted offer prices or historical transaction information reflected on the Templum ATS should not be construed as being representative of the fair value of the Company’s Class A shares or of the Artwork. The Templum ATS will not be available to certain non-U.S. citizens. Investors should be prepared to hold their Class A shares for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares will ever be saleable through the Templum ATS or an alternative platform.

You may not be able to sell your Class A shares at or above the offering price or at all.

The initial public offering price for our Class A shares is above their net tangible asset value due to the payment of the true-up to Masterworks. In addition, Masterworks owns 1,000 Class B shares representing a 20% profits interest in our Company. Prior to this Offering, no public market exists for our Class A shares. You may not be able to sell your Class A shares at or above the initial offering price, or ever. Investors should be prepared to hold their Class A shares for an indefinite period, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares can ever be tradable or sold.

We will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. Therefore, 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 our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

We will be required to publicly 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 “emerging growth companies” 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 the issuer’s fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year. Therefore, our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

Holders of our Class A shares may face significant restrictions on the resale of the Class A shares due to state “Blue Sky” laws or rules restricting participation by foreign citizens.

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 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 the transaction must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker, if any, must be registered in that state. We do not know whether our Class A shares will be registered or exempt from registration under the laws of any state. We believe that isolated transactions effected between users of the Templum ATS, which do not involve the Company, are deemed to be exempt transactions in many States, but participants on the Templum ATS will need to ensure that their activities comply with the laws of their respective States. If our Class A shares are quoted on an alternative trading system, a determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as the market-makers for our Class A shares. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our Class A shares.

In addition, many trading platforms do not permit non-U.S. citizens or residents to transact on their platforms due primarily to complications associated with obtaining reasonable assurances as to the identity of such individuals and compliance with anti-money laundering, tax and securities laws that would be applicable to such transactions. Masterworks does not currently permit non-U.S. citizens to use the Templum ATS. Accordingly, you should consider the resale market for our Class A shares to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your Class A shares without the significant expense of state registration or qualification, or at all.

There is a risk the Offering will not close.

There are numerous possible scenarios pursuant to which the offering may be abandoned prior to the initial closing, including a material adverse change or event in the capital markets or art markets, which could make it impracticable to consummate the Offering. The emergence of material litigation regarding the Company and/or involving Masterworks, material physical damage to the Artwork prior to the initial closing, the Artwork failing its physical inspection, the outbreak of war or hostilities, or Masterworks’ determination that the Offering should be delayed, suspended, or abandoned, due to these or other unforeseeable events.

Sales of Class A shares by Masterworks or its affiliates could make it more difficult for you to sell your Class A shares and could adversely affect the price of the Class A shares on the Templum ATS.

Class A shares offered in this Offering may be acquired by Masterworks or one or more entities controlled by Masterworks. In addition, Masterworks owns 1,000 Class B shares, representing a 20% “profits interest” in our fully diluted equity that will be convertible into Class A shares. In addition, Masterworks will earn Class A preferred shares pursuant to the management services agreement, which are subject to vesting provisions. Masterworks affiliates will have no restrictions on shares acquired in this Offering or on any Class A shares received upon conversion of its Class B shares after the one-year anniversary of the Offering and no restrictions on the disposition of Class A shares earned pursuant to the management services agreement once they vest, other than restrictions in our operating agreement and those imposed by applicable securities laws. These shares held by our affiliates can be resold in one or more transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including in a secondary offering pursuant to Regulation A following the one-year anniversary of the qualification of the Offering Statement for this Offering. Any offering of these shares by Masterworks or its affiliates may make it more difficult to sell your Class A shares and could adversely affect the price at which you can sell your Class A shares on the Templum ATS.

A Concentration of ownership of the Class A shares may reduce liquidity or adversely affect the price of the Class A shares on the Templum ATS or any other trading venue on which the Class A shares may be traded.

Our operating agreement contains a 19.99% beneficial ownership limit, but we can waive such limit in our discretion on a case-by-case basis. In making a determination to waive the ownership limit we would consider the actual percentage interest that such person seeks to acquire, with a bias toward waiving the limit for smaller increments above 19.99%, such person’s ability to exercise control over the Company, the likelihood that such person would seek to acquire the Artwork or influence the sale price of the Artwork, and other factors we deem relevant. As a result of any such waiver one or more Class A shareholders may beneficially own a large percentage of the outstanding Class A shares. Masterworks has formed an entity that may invest in this Offering and other similar offerings conducted through the Masterworks Platform and we would likely waive the ownership limit for such entity if it chose to invest in this Offering above 19.9%, but not above 49.9%. A concentration of ownership in one or a small group of shareholders may diminish liquidity on the Templum ATS, particularly if any such shareholder is deemed to be an “affiliate” of the Company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, which would include any affiliate of Masterworks and would make it more difficult for such shareholder to sell its shares pursuant to applicable Federal securities laws. Conversely, concentrated ownership could also create an “overhang” risk, which is a risk that such shareholder or shareholders seek to liquidate their positions in a short time frame, which could significantly increase the supply of Class A shares available for sale without a corresponding increase in demand, thereby driving the trading price of the Class A shares downward.

Our multi-class capital structure presents additional risks for investors in this Offering.

In addition to the Class A shares offered by this Offering Circular, our operating agreement provides for Class A preferred shares, Class B ordinary shares and a single Class C share. The Class A preferred shares have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over Class A ordinary shares. The Class B shares have the right to 20% of the profits upon a sale of the Artwork and can be converted into Class A shares pursuant to a formula in our operating Agreement. The Class C share can be issued or transferred to an affiliate of Masterworks, referred to herein as a “Masterworks Investor,” and would provide such Masterworks Investor with the exclusive right to remove, replace or reconstitute our Board of Managers without “cause” for any reason. There could be conflicts of interest between our Company and a Masterworks Investor and the ability of a Masterworks Investor to replace our Board increases the risk that those conflicts of interest, if they arise, would not be resolved in the best interests of the Company or our Class A shareholders. We and Masterworks intend to take reasonable steps to address potential conflicts in connection with an eventual sale of the Artwork, including by forming a special committee comprised solely of Managers that are independent of management and Masterworks to approve any such sale, but there can be no assurance that these steps will adequately protect the interests of Class A shareholders. In addition, our capital structure is significantly different than the vast majority of companies whose securities are listed on national securities exchanges and would potentially violate the listing and governance standards of national securities exchanges, potentially making our Class A shares ineligible for listing on any such exchange, though no such listing is contemplated.

If we face litigation related to the Offering, we may elect to auction the Artwork and the proceeds of any sale at such auction may be insufficient to provide an adequate remedy. Further, if investors successfully seek rescission, we would face severe financial demands that we may not be able to meet.

Our Class A shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being offered in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, including Regulation A promulgated thereunder. We represent that this offering circular does not contain any untrue statements of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of all the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. However, if this representation is inaccurate with respect to a material fact, if this Offering fails to qualify for exemption from registration under the federal securities laws pursuant to Regulation A, or if we fail to register the Class A shares or find an exemption under the securities laws of each state in which we offer the Class A shares, each investor may have the right to rescind his, her or its purchase of the Class A shares and to receive back from us his, her or its purchase price with interest. Such investors, however, may be unable to collect on any judgment, and the cost of obtaining such judgment may outweigh the benefits. If investors successfully seek rescission, we may elect to sell the Artwork and there can be no assurance that the proceeds of any such sale would be an adequate remedy for our investors and we would face severe financial demands we may not be able to meet and it may adversely affect any non-rescinding investors.

If we face litigation, unless such litigation is proven to involve fraud or intentional misconduct on the part of the Administrator or our other affiliates, we may seek to sell the Artwork and the Administrator will be entitled to recoup its expenses in connection with defending and or settling such litigation.

Our operating agreement indemnifies the Board of Managers and the management services agreement indemnifies the Administrator in all instances not involving fraud or intentional misconduct. In addition, while the Administrator is responsible for all ordinary and necessary expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Artwork and managing our Company, there is an exception for costs incurred in connection with litigation. Accordingly, if there is any litigation involving our Company which does not involve fraud or intentional misconduct, the costs relating to such litigation will be deducted from the funds to be disbursed to holders of Class A shares upon our sale of the Artwork and subsequent dissolution.

Because we do not have an audit committee, holders of our Class A shares will have to rely on our Board of Managers and the Independent Manager to perform these functions.

We do not have an audit committee. The Board of Managers, made up of Nigel Glenday, Joshua B. Goldstein and Eli D. Broverman will perform the duties normally performed by an audit committee for an entity such as ours. One of the members of the Board of Managers, Eli D. Broverman, serves as the Independent Manager on the Board of Managers. The Independent Manager serves to protect the interests of the holders of the Class A shares and is tasked with reviewing and approving all related party transactions between us and our affiliates and address all conflicts of interest that may arise between us and the holders of the Class A shares and our affiliates. If the Independent Manager resigns from such position on the Board of Managers at any time, the remaining members of the Board of Managers shall appoint a replacement that meets the standards of an independent director pursuant to the standards set forth on NASDAQ pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

Purchasers in this Offering and in the aftermarket will experience dilution in the book value of their investment over time.

The initial offering price per Class A share will be approximately $1.99 above the pro forma net tangible book value per Class A share immediately following this Offering as a result of the true-up amount payable to Masterworks. The Administrator will earn a management fee in the form of Class A preferred shares. These fees will, when issued, effectively further reduce the tangible book value per Class A share over time. Additionally, if the value of the Class A shares increases over time, the number of Class A shares to be issued upon conversion of the Class B shares will also increase over time resulting in additional dilution to holders of our Class A shares.

Risks of investing using a credit card.

We may accept credit cards for subscriptions, provided that any such credit card subscription shall not exceed the lesser of $30,000 or the amount permitted by applicable law, per subscriber. An investment in the Class A shares is a long-term and highly illiquid investment. Payment by credit card may be appropriate for some investors as a temporary funding convenience, but should not be used as a long term means to finance an investment in the Class A shares. Investors contemplating using their credit card to invest are urged to review the SEC’s Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which is available at https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-and-bulletins/ia_riskycombination. Credit card investment will result in incurrence of third-party fees and charges (often ranging from 1.5% - 3.0%), interest obligations which will lower your expected investment returns, and could exceed your actual returns. In addition, if you cannot meet your minimum payment obligation, you may damage your credit profile which would make it more difficult and more expensive to borrow in the future.

Provisions of our Certificate of Formation and our Operating Agreement may delay or prevent a take-over which may not be in the best interests of holders our Class A shares.

Provisions of our Certificate of Formation and the operating agreement may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include, among others, the Board of Managers having sole and exclusive control of the operations of us with the exclusion of the holders of the Class A shares being able to vote upon certain limited circumstances, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt.

We do not intend to pay distributions in the foreseeable future and may only make a distribution to the holders of our Class A shares if the Artwork can be sold at a profit to the price we paid and after the costs and expenses associated with the sale there are sufficient funds to effect a distribution upon the liquidation of the Company.

We do not maintain any cash balances and do not intend to pay any distributions in the foreseeable future and may only make a distribution to the holders of our Class A shares if the Artwork can be sold at a profit to the price paid by us and other costs and expenses associated with the sale there are sufficient funds to effect a distribution upon our liquidation. Investors should be prepared to never receive a distribution in connection with their ownership of the Class A shares.

The tax treatment of an investment in the Company is uncertain and subject to change.

We currently expect to be taxed as a partnership, which means we do not expect to pay entity-level Federal income taxes and any income or loss arising from a sale of the Artwork by Masterworks Cayman would be allocated to our shareholders and result in ordinary dividend income for our shareholders. In the event our Board of Managers determines that there is a material risk that our partnership status may not be respected by the IRS due to the potential existence of secondary market liquidity for the Class A shares or for other reasons, our Board of Managers may restructure our operations to avoid or minimize entity-level Federal income taxes. Any such restructuring could, among other consequences, cause any gain resulting from a sale of the Artwork being taxed at higher rates applicable to capital gains on collectibles. Shareholders are urged to consult their advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the Company in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, the Board of Managers has sole discretion to change the tax election such that the Company would be taxed as a corporation for U.S. Federal income purposes, which would mean that the Company would be required to pay entity level U.S. Federal income taxes on gains, if any, from the sale of the Artwork. Any such change could adversely impact the net amount of funds you receive, after taxes, from a sale of the Artwork.

Tax risk to investors seeking to invest using their individual retirement accounts, including traditional and self-directed IRAs and 401(k)s.

Section 408(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States treats the acquisition of any collectible, including any work of art, as a distribution from the retirement account. Distributions are taxable to the holder of the account and may be subject to early withdrawal penalties of 10% of such amount if the investor is not at least 59-1/2 years of age. The Internal Revenue Service could take the position that an investment in the Class A shares is tantamount to the acquisition of artwork and therefore should be treated as a taxable distribution. We urge those investors seeking to use their individual retirement accounts to invest in Class A shares to consult with a competent professional tax professional prior to making an investment decision.

By purchasing shares in this Offering, you are bound by the provisions contained in our subscription agreement which provide for mandatory arbitration and a waiver of rights to a jury trial which limits your ability to bring class action lawsuits, seek remedies on a class basis or have a jury decide the factual merits of your claim.

By purchasing shares in this Offering, investors agree to be bound by the arbitration provisions contained in our subscription agreement which provide that arbitration is the exclusive means for resolving disputes relating to or arising out of the subscription agreement, the shares, the Masterworks Platform, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing. In addition, by signing the subscription agreement, you waive your rights to a jury trial in any such dispute. Please note that neither the mandatory arbitration provision nor the waiver of your rights to a jury trial apply to claims made under the federal securities laws or any dispute you may have with Arete RIA. Arbitration awards are generally final and binding. A party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited. Purchasers of shares in a secondary transaction would also be subject to the same arbitration provisions and jury waiver that are currently in our subscription agreement. Such arbitration provision limits the ability of investors to bring class action lawsuits or similarly seek remedies on a class basis for claims subject to the provision. If invoked, the arbitration is required to be conducted in New York, NY in accordance with New York law. The subscription agreement allows for either the Company or an investor to elect to enter into binding arbitration in the event of any covered claim in which the Company and the investor are adverse parties. While not mandatory, in the event that the Company were to invoke the arbitration clause, the rights of the adverse shareholder to seek redress in court would be severely limited. These restrictions on the ability to bring a class action lawsuit and the waiver of a jury trial may result in increased costs and/or reduced remedies, to individual investors who wish to pursue claims against the Company, except in the case of claims made under the federal securities laws.

DILUTION

As of the date of this filing, 100% of the membership interests of the Company are held by Masterworks.

Investors in this Offering will suffer immediate dilution in the net tangible book value per share $1.99 as a result of the true-up to be paid to Masterworks as part of our cost of acquiring the Artwork. Fees payable to Masterworks in the form of Class A preferred shares will also result in dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Class A shares. We estimate that the net tangible book value per share upon the final closing of the Offering after giving effect to the intended use of proceeds from the Offering will be $18.01.

The Class B shares may also have a dilutive effect following the final closing of the Offering. The formula for the conversion of the Class B shares into the Class A shares is as follows:

Definitions for conversion calculation:

* The hypothetical Class A share values represent the assumed VWAP, or in the absence of a trading market, the appraised fair value of the Class A shares, which, in either case, is assumed to be the amount that a Class A share would receive upon liquidation of the Company (i.e. the appraised value of the Artwork divided by the fully diluted number of Class A shares outstanding).

Examples of conversion calculation

The following table illustrates the number and percentage of Class A shares (rounded to nearest whole share) that would be issued to Masterworks upon conversion of all of its Class B shares based on hypothetical changes in the trading price or value of the Class A shares:

Pursuant to the foregoing formula, Class A shares will only be issuable upon a conversion of Class B shares if the value of the Class A shares is higher than $20.00 per share. Upon the final closing of this Offering, the value of the Class A shares will be $20.00 per share based on the offering price and therefore, no shares will be issuable upon a conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares at such time.

Nominal consideration was paid for the membership interests represented by Class B shares. The aggregate cash cost to Masterworks for the Class B shares will be $100.00 (representing the cash payment made in consideration of the issuance of membership interests represented by Class B shares) or less than $0.01 per share. If in the future the value of the Class A shares increases to where there is a gain in value, based on the above formula, there will be additional dilution.

For example, if the value of the Class A shares is $30 per share, based on the foregoing conversion formula, the Class B shares will be convertible into 2,275 Class A shares if Masterworks decides to convert all of the Class B shares they hold. The new investors ownership interest would be diluted as follows assuming that 27,300 Class A shares are sold in the Offering:

Further, as additional Class A preferred shares are issued to the Administrator as payment for its entity-level and asset management services, the holders of the Class A shares will suffer dilution.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company is selling the Class A shares through the Masterworks Platform and is not selling the Class A shares or soliciting investors through commissioned sales agents or underwriters. Representatives of an SEC registered investment adviser may provide advisory services to prospective investors. For additional information about these advisory services, please see “Advisory Services.” Subscriptions will be made only through the Masterworks Platform and payment will be made directly to the Company. The subscription funds paid by investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a noninterest-bearing segregated account of the Company with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or a similar institution and will not be commingled with any other funds and will not be released, unless and until there is an initial closing and the date of each respective additional closing under of this Offering. All fees and expenses of the Offering will be paid by Masterworks and the Company shall have no responsibility for any such amounts payable. Accordingly, the gross proceeds from the Offering shall be the same as the net proceeds from the Offering. This Offering will not exceed 24 months from the date of commencement in accordance with Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A.

Online Subscriptions and Bank Account

Our affiliate Masterworks, LLC and its principals own and operate the Masterworks Platform located at https://www.masterworks.com/ that allows investors to acquire interests in special purpose companies that invest in artwork. Through the Masterworks Platform, investors can, once they establish a profile, browse and screen potential artwork investments, view details of an investment and sign contractual documents online. After the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part, the Offering will be conducted through the Masterworks Platform, whereby investors will receive, review, execute and deliver subscription agreements electronically as well as make payment of the purchase price in the form of ACH debit, credit card or wire transfer into a segregated non-interest bearing account held by us until the closing date of each respective closing under this Offering. The subscription funds paid by investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a noninterest-bearing segregated account of the Company with Goldman Sachs Bank USA or a similar institution and will not be commingled with any other funds and will not be released, unless and until there is an initial closing and the date of each respective closing under this Offering. Credit card subscription shall not exceed the lesser of $30,000 or the amount permitted by applicable law, per subscriber. Investors contemplating using their credit card to invest are urged to carefully review “Risk Factors – Risks of investing using a credit card.” Credit card investment will result in incurrence of third-party fees and charges, interest obligations which will lower your expected investment returns and could exceed your actual returns. In addition, if you cannot meet your minimum payment obligation, you may damage your credit profile which would make it more difficult and more expensive to borrow in the future. On any relevant closing date, the funds in the account will be released to us and the associated Class A shares will be issued to the investors in this Offering. If there are no closings of this Offering, the funds deposited in the segregated account will be promptly returned to subscribers, without deduction and generally without interest.

Upon each closing under the terms as set out in this offering circular, funds will be immediately transferred to us (where the funds will be available for use in the operations of the Company’s business in a manner consistent with the “Use of Proceeds” in this offering circular).

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our Class A shares is Equity Stock Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent’s address is 237 West 37th Street, Suite 602, New York, New York 10018. The transfer agent’s telephone number is 212-575-5757. We intend to avoid registration of the Class A shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and may avail ourselves of the conditional limitation on shares “held of record” contained in Rule 12g5-1(a)(7) of the Exchange Act.

Book-Entry Records of Class A shares

Ownership of the Class A shares will be represented in “book-entry” only form directly in the name of the respective owner of the Class A shares and shall be recorded by the Company and that no physical certificates shall be issued, nor received, by the Company or any other person. The Company or Masterworks shall send out email confirmations of positions and notifications of changes “from” us upon each and every event affecting any person’s ownership interest.

Investment Amount Limitations

The maximum investment amount per investor is $100,000 (5,000 Class A shares) and the minimum investment amount per investor is $15,000 (750 Class A shares) for investors that have not previously invested in offerings via the Masterworks Platform and $500 (25 Class A shares) for investors that have previously invested in other offerings on the Masterworks Platform. We reserve the right to reject any subscription, waive or increase the maximum purchase restriction or waive or decrease the minimum purchase restriction in our sole and absolute discretion and we routinely grant such waivers, increases or reductions for categories of investors or on a case-by-case basis. Accordingly, investors should not assume that the stated minimum investment restriction will be applied uniformly to all investors. Subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable by the investors but can be rejected by us. Further, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Operating Agreement, an investor, other than an affiliate of Masterworks, generally cannot own, or be deemed to beneficially own, as “beneficial ownership” is determined pursuant to Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act, more than 19.99% of the total number of Class A shares outstanding. We may waive such limit on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion.

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 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, you are encouraged to refer to www.investor.gov.

As a Tier 2, Regulation A offering, investors must comply with the 10% limitation to investment in the Offering. The only investor in this Offering exempt from this limitation is an accredited investor, an “Accredited Investor,” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D. If you meet one of the following tests you should qualify as an Accredited Investor:

Offering Period and Expiration Date

We will commence the sale of the Class A shares as of the date on which the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part is declared qualified by the SEC. 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 Artwork is planned to be acquired by the Company on or prior to the initial closing of this Offering. Additional closings, if any, will occur on a rolling basis throughout the offering period as determined by Masterworks. The maximum Offering period is 24 months from the date of commencement in accordance with Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, but we reserve the right to terminate this Offering for any reason at any time prior to the initial closing.

ADVISORY SERVICES

Masterworks is party to an agreement with Arete Wealth Advisors, LLC (“Arete RIA”), a SEC registered investment adviser, to provide investment advisory services to persons who have indicated an interest in investing in the Class A shares offered pursuant to this offering circular and other offerings sponsored by Masterworks. These advisory services will be provided by a dedicated team of investment adviser representatives who are employees of Masterworks and associated persons of Arete RIA. Any investor that speaks to an adviser representative will be requested to enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Arete RIA, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the offering statement of which this offering circular is an integral part. Masterworks pays Arete RIA a fixed monthly fee for supervision of these adviser representatives, plus additional fees equal to the compensation of the Arete RIA adviser representatives, which fees are paid by Masterworks to Arete RIA or directly to the adviser representatives on behalf of Arete RIA. Arete RIA has the right to approve of all compensation arrangements with respect to the adviser representatives.

In addition, Arete RIA may be deemed to be a statutory underwriter in connection with the distribution of the Offering and or other offerings sponsored by Masterworks. The adviser representatives dedicated to providing investment advisory services to persons interested in investing in Masterworks securities offerings will not provide recommendations or advice on any alternative investments or other asset classes. In light of the exclusive nature of the arrangement between dedicated adviser representatives and Arete RIA and Masterworks, coupled with the fact that all fees generated by Arete RIA to compensate the dedicated adviser representatives are paid by Masterworks, Arete RIA and these adviser representatives have conflicts of interest and lack the independence of other investment professionals who may provide more generalized investment advice.

Further, representatives of Masterworks Advisers, LLC, a SEC registered investment adviser and affiliate of Masterworks, may provide advisory services in connection with offerings sponsored by Masterworks, including this offering.

USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER

We expect to receive gross proceeds from this Offering of up to $546,000. Masterworks will pay all expenses of the Offering, including fees and expenses associated with qualification of the Offering under Regulation A. 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, indirectly through a segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman, acquire the Artwork, 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 6.2 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, Masterworks will advance the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with any unsold Class A shares, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. Accordingly, in any circumstance in which an initial closing occurs, at the time of the final closing, 27,300 Class A shares will be issued and outstanding, the purchase price of the Artwork and the true-up will be fully paid, the Company will own the Artwork and the Company will have no indebtedness.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The discussions contained in this offering circular relating to the artist, the Artwork and the art industry are taken from third-party sources that the Company believes to be reliable and the Company believes that the information from such sources contained herein regarding the artist, the Artwork and the art industry is reasonable, and that the factual information therein is fair and accurate.

Overview

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on March 27, 2023, by Masterworks to facilitate an investment in the Artwork. We are a manager-managed limited liability company managed by a Board of Managers. Upon our formation, Masterworks was issued membership interests of the Company representing 100% of our membership interests. Masterworks Gallery adopted our amended and restated operating agreement and Masterworks currently holds 1,000 Class B shares. On or prior to the initial closing of the Offering, we will enter into the management services agreement with our Administrator pursuant to which the Administrator will agree to maintain the Artwork and manage our business. Our Administrator can withdraw for any reason from its position as our Administrator, provided that such withdrawal shall be effective only following a sale of the Artwork.

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 71 inches by 55 inches, at Phillips 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale on March 31, 2023 for HKD 3,810,000 or $491,581 based on the effective exchange rate provided by First Republic Bank. The acquisition of the Artwork by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that is wholly-owned by the Company is planned to occur on or prior to the initial closing of this Offering.

We are offering 27,300 Class A shares in the Offering for aggregate consideration of $546,000 (inclusive of a true-up of approximately 11% of the cost of the Artwork, or approximately 10% of the maximum aggregate offering amount). We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this Offering to, indirectly through a segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman, acquire the Artwork, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Masterworks will advance such segregated portfolio any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with any unsold Class A shares, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. The Masterworks advance does not incur interest. Following the initial closing of the Offering, title to the Artwork will be held in such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman. The Artwork will be the only asset of the segregated portfolio, and we will be the only shareholder of that segregated portfolio.

We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow unless and until the Artwork is sold and no profits will be realized by investors unless the Artwork is sold for more than we acquire it for, plus the true-up amount and we have sufficient funds after payment of all associated costs and fees in connection with the sale of the Artwork, or the investors are able sell their Class A shares for a price higher than they purchased them for. We will be 100% reliant on the Administrator to maintain the Artwork and manage our business.

Pursuant to a management services agreement among Masterworks and, Masterworks Cayman and us to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the Offering, Masterworks will manage all of our Company-specific administrative services and will maintain the Artwork. In exchange for these services and paying all ordinary and necessary operating costs and expenses, Masterworks will receive equity interests in us commencing on and after the final closing of the Offering. These equity issuances to Masterworks will, subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement, result in dilution of 1.5% per annum to Class A shareholders. The Administrator will also manage any extraordinary or non-routine services which may be required, from time-to-time, including, without limitation, litigation or services in connection with a sale of the Artwork or any sale, merger, third-party tender offer or other similar transaction involving us. Any third-party costs incurred by the Administrator or payments made by the Administrator in connection with litigation or major transactions will be reimbursed upon the sale of the Artwork or our Company, as applicable. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would be permitted to charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer’s premium charged by Sotheby’s, Christie’s or Phillips in effect at such time. For more information regarding the management services agreement, see “Related Party Transactions.” We will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to the ownership, maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the Artwork. Our strategy will be to display and promote the Artwork in a manner designed to enhance its provenance and increase its exposure and its value.

Acquisition of the Artwork

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 71 inches by 55 inches, at Phillips 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale on March 31, 2023 for HKD 3,810,000 or $491,581 based on the effective exchange rate provided by First Republic Bank. Closing of the sale is planned to occur on or before the initial closing of this Offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this Offering to, indirectly through a segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman, acquire the Artwork, 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 6.2 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, Masterworks will advance to such segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The advance and the true-up will be settled through proceeds from this Offering and, if the Offering is not fully subscribed, the remaining unsold Class A shares will be issued to Masterworks in full settlement of such obligations. Accordingly, in any circumstance in which an initial closing occurs, at the time of the final closing, 27,300 Class A shares will be issued and outstanding, the purchase price of the Artwork and the true-up will be fully paid, the Company will own the Artwork and the Company will have no indebtedness.

Masterworks Experience in the Art Industry

Scott W. Lynn, the Founder of Masterworks and Chief Executive Officer of the Administrator has been an active collector of postwar and contemporary art for more than fifteen years and has built an internationally-recognized collection of Abstract Expressionism that has included works by Clyfford Still, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, and more. In 2017, portions of Mr. Lynn’s collection were exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, the Denver Art Museum, and the Palm Beach Museum. At other periods in time, Mr. Lynn’s collection has been exhibited at museums such as the National Gallery, the Guggenheim (New York), and the Museum of Modern Art. Our acquisition strategy is guided by Mr. Lynn and thus far has relied heavily on various outside consultants and advisors that Mr. Lynn has worked with in his personal collecting. We have hired and continue to hire personnel with backgrounds in art investment and analysis.

Set forth below is a summary of Masterworks’ experience in the art industry. Other than the offerings described below, Masterworks has not offered any prior investment programs in which disclosed in the offering materials was a date and time period at which the investment program might be liquidated.

Completed Offerings

The first offering by a Masterworks affiliated issuer closed in September 2019 and as of the date of this Offering Circular, Masterworks affiliated issuers have completed 199 Regulation A offerings. Artists whose artworks are beneficially owned by these issuers include the following:

Offerings in Progress

The following offerings by Masterworks affiliated issuers have been qualified by the SEC and are currently in progress, which means that they have not yet had a final closing, though certain of these offerings have been fully subscribed:

In addition, other Masterworks affiliated issuers have filed offering statements which have not been qualified by the SEC. Such offering statements contain preliminary offering circulars which are incomplete, many of which do not currently identify the artist or the subject artwork.

In addition, Masterworks intends to sponsor offerings pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 506(c) of Regulation D or Regulation A, by affiliated entities that will invest the proceeds of such offerings in a portfolio of artwork, which may include an investment in our Class A shares.

Dispositions

Set forth below is a summary of the Masterworks affiliated issuers that have consummated a transaction to sell artwork or have entered into a binding agreement to sell artwork. After a sale has been consummated, such issuer commences the process of winding up and dissolving in accordance with its operating agreement. Except as set forth below, none of the artwork held by Masterworks affiliated Regulation A issuers has been sold as of the date hereof. Masterworks sells artwork opportunistically and therefore the actual returns achieved by investors in select issuers that have sold a painting are not indicative of the investment performance of shares offered by the majority of other Masterworks issuers that have not yet sold a painting and past performance is not indicative of future performance.

About the Art Market

Primary Sources of Publicly Available Data

There are currently a limited number of sources of publicly available data on the art market. Below are leading sources often relied upon for information:

Statistical data relating to the art market is difficult to obtain, incomplete, or inconsistent. It is a substantially unregulated industry. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any data or general information related to the art market.

Summary

The global art market is comprised of a network of auction houses, dealers, galleries, advisors, agents, individual collectors, museums, public institutions, and various experts and service providers engaged in the purchase and sale of unique and collectible works of art. Over the past decade, total estimated annual art sales have ranged from $50.1 billion to $68.2 billion and have grown at approximately 20% from 2006 through 2021.

Based on The Art Market Report 2022, published jointly by Art Basel and UBS, global art sales totaled $65.1 billion in 2021. Global art sales were up 29% in 2021 as compared to 2020, the largest Year-Over-Year increase since 2010, when, largely as a result of the financial crises, sales had fallen by 36% in 2009. The revival of in person auctions and growth in online sales were the main contributors to the growth in transaction volume.

Through the first half of 2022, global auction sales from Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillips totaled $7.4 billion in the first half of 2022, up 25% from $5.9 billion in the first half 2021 and over 300% from $1.8 billion in the first half of 2020. This rise in sales puts the premium end of the auction market at its highest level ever for the first six months of 2022. The only slowdown seemed to come from digital sales. After leveraging online platforms during the pandemic, the auction houses’ return to physical sales has slowed the growth of the Online-Only auction market. The three houses combined generated $437.7 million in Online-Only sales in the first half of 2022, which was down from $670.7 million during the same period in 2021 but still an increase from 2020, when Online-Only sales in the first half of the year totaled $394.7 million. Despite the moderate slow down, the major auction houses seem committed to building out their digital sale capabilities as a record 326,000 lots sold in the first half of 2022 versus 313,400 in the first half of 2021.

The top auction houses are increasingly focusing on younger and emerging artists, which has helped drive the Post-War and Contemporary art category to the top, with sales totals of $2.5 billion in that category in the first half of 2022, a 19% increase from $2.1 billion in the first half of 2021. Closely following, and boosted by the trend of prominent Single-Owner collections, was the Impressionist and Modern art category, which raised totals of $2.4 billion in the first half of 2022, a 57% increase year-over-year from $1.5 billion in the first half of 2021. Combined, these two collecting segments accounted for 67% of the global sales by Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Phillips in the first half of 2022, up from 62% in the first half of 2021.

In general, the global art market is influenced by the overall strength and stability of the global economy, geopolitical conditions, capital markets and world events, all of which may affect the willingness of potential buyers and sellers to purchase and sell art. While the global art market is large, its exact size is unknown and statistical data is inconsistent. Much of the uncertainty stems from differing estimates of the size of the private dealer and gallery market, which is based on survey data, but disparities also exist in reported auction sales.

Observations on the Historical Progression of Art Prices

The following are general observations based on a repeat-sales index of historical art market prices computed based on a value weighted-basis and focused on the Post-War & Contemporary Art category, as developed by Masterworks:

Art Appraisals, Valuation, and Auction Estimates

The fair market value of art and other unique collectibles is generally assessed by expert appraisers using relative valuation techniques by analyzing historical comparative transactions involving similar works, characteristics of the specific work, supply and demand factors, subjective perceptions of value, among other factors. However, there is no efficient market that determines the price of an artwork and there is no standardized art valuation methodology.

There is tremendous variability in the market value of individual artwork by any given artist. These differences are influenced by the perceived quality of the work, materials, condition, color, size, subject matter, provenance and other factors.

Auction houses generally estimate the sale price of an artwork prior to conducting a sale. Such sale estimates are intended to provide general guidance to potential bidders regarding the expected price outcome of the artwork, however estimates may not be “arm’s length” and are often negotiated with the selling party. Therefore, they cannot be used as unbiased guidelines in determining the value of an artwork.

Private and Gallery Sales

The private art market is made up of a network of galleries, dealers, art fairs and other intermediaries that sell artwork in privately negotiated transactions, in which transactions are generally not publicly reported. Galleries and other intermediaries that sell high end art have extensive relationships with artists, critics, collectors and others in the art market and are often driven by self-interested objectives, such as enhancing the reputation and market value of artists they represent or the market value of their inventory. Accordingly, galleries can be highly selective in determining which collectors are permitted to purchase from them, preferring those who are likely to hold works for a long period of time and enhance the provenance of a piece. Most private and gallery sales are confidential. Sellers generally determine pricing in private sales in which the dealer or gallery acts as an intermediary in negotiating a transaction with a buyer.

According to the 2020 Art Basel Report, auction sales accounted for an estimated 38% of total sales by dollar volume in 2019, as compared to approximately 43% in 2018 with the balance accounted for by the private market. Auction houses are also increasingly participating in the private market, brokering non-auction sales transactions. The relative size of the private dealer and gallery market as compared to the auction market tends to shift based on overall market sentiment, where market optimism tends to bolster auction sales.

Auction Sales

The auction market is made of a network of global and regional auction houses that conduct regular sales of artwork and other collectibles in a public auction format, as well as provide other art-related services. In general, the auction market is more transparent and more open than the private sales market as sale prices are determined through open competition, in which any qualified individual can participate and potentially buy the offered work. Interested buyers place sequential ascending bids in a format referred to by economists as an English Auction. Works which are offered for sale by the auction house on behalf of a potential seller, also referred to as a consignor, are often referred to as lots, which may be comprised of one or more items; most artwork is sold as individual lots. Auction sales occur at a fixed time and are a matter of public record. Bidders determine the price of a piece in an auction sale, though the consignor typically sets a reserve floor price below which they would be unwilling to sell the work. A low and high estimate of the sale price is set by the auction house, with the consignor’s input, based on a variety of factors, including the prior sales history, market factors like supply considerations and the reserve price floor. If a consignor does not agree with the estimate range proposed by the auction house, they can elect not to consign the work for sale or can withdraw a consignment. Auction houses often set estimates at levels to either entice bidders to participate or potential consignors to offer their work at auction, thus estimates should not necessarily be viewed as proxies for determining market value.

The price at which an auctioneer declares an item sold at a public auction, referred to as the “hammer price,” does not reflect either the amount realized by a consignor or the price paid by a buyer. In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder must pay the so-called “buyer’s premium,” which is effectively a commission on the sale that ranges between 14.5% and 26% of the hammer price. The economics received by a consignor in an auction can vary widely. For works of relatively low value, consignors may also be required to pay a seller’s commission to the auction house. For higher value works, consignors often pay no commissions and may be entitled to receive a portion of the buyer’s premium, if not the full amount of the purchase price.

The public nature of auction sales can pose certain risks for consignors. A work that fails to sell at auction as a result of not attracting a bid in excess of the reserve price, will often be much harder to sell in the future. The rate at which artworks fail to sell at public auction, referred to as the “buy-in rate,” is generally around 30%, according to publicly available data. The value of an artwork is highly subjective, so a failure to sell a piece at auction is damaging to the perceived value of the work, a concept referred to the art industry as “burning” the work.

In order to attract high-value consignments, an auction house may offer a guaranteed minimum price to a consignor. In exchange, the consignor agrees, if the final sale is in excess of the guaranteed amount, to pay the auction house a certain percentage of sale proceeds above the guaranteed amount. To offset the risk of a sale below the amount guaranteed to the consignor, an auction house may also secure a minimum guaranteed bid from a potential buyer, also known as a “third-party guarantee” or “irrevocable bid”. These guarantees effectively provide certainty that a successful sale will occur. The economic terms of guarantees and irrevocable bids are not typically disclosed and can vary widely based on negotiations between the relevant parties.

Auction houses publicly report total sale prices that reflect the hammer price (i.e. the price at which the auctioneer declared the winning bid), plus the buyer’s premium, but tend to exclude applicable taxes, fees and royalties, which are typically paid by the purchaser. The buyer’s premium schedule is published by the auction house and is updated or revised periodically. The buyer’s premium (inclusive of any additional “Overhead Premium,” if applicable) for the New York salesroom of each of the major auction houses as of the date of this offering circular is as follows (percentages and USD amounts relate to the hammer price):

The amount of the published sale price a consignor receives is typically reduced by all or a portion of the buyer’s premium and, in some cases for high value items, a sales commission. The percentage of the buyer’s premium received by the consignor, if any, and the amount of any sales commission payable by the consignor, if any, are negotiated between the consignor and the auction house and vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the value and importance of the specific work, whether the work is sold as an individual piece or part of a larger collection, anticipated demand levels and other factors. For high value items auction houses often waive the sales commission and rebate a portion of the buyer’s premium to the consignor, which is commonly referred to in the industry as an “enhanced hammer.”

Auction houses do not publicly report the economic terms of transactions with consignors, so the Company cannot determine with any degree of confidence what percentage of a sale price would be received by the Company upon consummation of an auction sale. In addition, the economics receivable by a seller are less favorable if the work is subject to a pre-auction guaranty. Based on experience, we believe that it would be reasonable to expect that the net pre-tax cash proceeds receivable by the Company in an auction sale would be approximately 80% to 90% of the published sale price, however, the net result could fall outside of this range. The existence of any such guarantee arrangement would provide greater certainty of success at auction, but could reduce the sales proceeds received by the Company.

About Art as an Investment

Fine art, in the form of paintings, sculpture, drawings and all manner of unique collectibles, has been collected for centuries. Founded in 1744, Sotheby’s had been the oldest listed Company on the New York Stock Exchange until it was taken private in October 2019. While art collectors can enjoy the aesthetic and societal benefits of art ownership and patronage, works of art can equally be valuable assets that deliver financial, as well as emotional rewards to their owners. Art has often acted as a store of wealth, with price appreciation in excess of U.S. consumer price inflation over the long term. Many of those who collect art therefore do so with an eye upon its investment potential as well as its aesthetic appeal. Put simply, art can be considered an investable asset class.

In general, art as an investment bears the following characteristics:

Historical Art Price Indices

The historical performance of prices in the art market can be estimated using different techniques and is generally derived from publicly available auction sales results. General statistical summaries of past prices, such as historical average or median prices, can provide a broad sense of price direction across the art market or for a specific artist. However, given that the supply of art transacted in any given period is not homogenous, changes in average or median prices from period-to-period may not be reflective of changes in the underlying value of the artwork, but may reflect varying quality or other characteristics that were present in the artwork sold.

Art market indices provide an alternative means to gauge market performance. A number of techniques have been developed in this regard. A repeat-sales-based index follows a methodology similar to that used to estimate home price appreciation, most notably through the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index. The best-known repeat-sales index for the art market is the Sotheby’s Mei Moses, which was originally developed in 2002 by New York University Stern School of Business Professors Jianping Mei, PhD and Michael Moses, PhD, and was later acquired by Sotheby’s in 2016. The Sotheby’s Mei Moses indices control for differing levels of quality, size, color, maker, and aesthetics of a work of art by analyzing repeat sales. Another methodology is the hedonic price index, which estimates the historical progression of prices based on analysis of all available transactions and controlling for certain “hedonic” characteristics, such as artist name, dimension, medium, art category, among others. The use of these techniques, among others, provides insight into the behavior of art as an investment.

Observations on the Historical Progression of Art Prices

The following are general observations based on a repeat-sales index of historical art market prices computed based on a value weighted-basis and focused on the Post-War & Contemporary Art category, as developed by Masterworks:

The Artist

The discussions contained in this offering circular relating to the artist, the Artwork and the art industry are taken from third-party sources that the Company believes to be reliable and the Company believes that the information from such sources contained herein regarding the artist, the Artwork and the art industry is reasonable, and that the factual information therein is fair and accurate.

Ayako Rokkaku (b. 1982, Chiba, Japan) is a self-taught contemporary Japanese artist who was born in 1982 in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. After completing her high school education, Rokkaku moved to Tokyo to attend art school at Musashino Art University. In 2003, Rokkaku won the Illustration Prize at KaiKai KiKi’s Geisai art fair, a biannual art fair founded by famed Japanese artist, Takashi Murakami. After this, she quickly made a name for herself with her vibrant and colorful paintings, which often incorporate elements of Japanese pop culture and street art. Rokkaku’s rise to fame came in the mid-2000s when she began exhibiting her work in Japan and internationally. In 2006, she won the prestigious Akio Goto Prize at the aforementioned Geisai art fair. Her paintings, which blend Japan’s kawaii (or cute) culture with Western abstraction, two of her major influences, channel the energy contained in the work of Cy Twombly and Jackson Pollack. Rokkaku’s work simultaneously falls within a long lineage of celebrated Japanese artists and was shown alongside Yayoi Kusama and Yoshitomo Nara at Whitestone Gallery in 2017. Rokkaku’s contribution to art history is her ability to seamlessly blend traditional Japanese art techniques with contemporary street art aesthetics and western sensibilities. Her work has been celebrated for its originality, energy and playfulness. Rokkaku has become one of Japan’s most successful contemporary artists, with a dedicated following both in her home country and abroad.

Rokkaku’s major solo exhibitions include “Fumble in colors, tiny discoveries” at the Museum Jan van der Togt, Amsterdam, Netherlands from June 2019 to August 2019, “Magic Hand” at the Chiba Prefectural Museum of Art, Japan from October 2020 to January 2021 and “Imagination For Flying Adventure” at Konig Gallery, London from May 2022 to June 2022. Her legacy has been cemented by her contributions to the contemporary art scene in Japan and her innovative approach to painting. Her works can be found in the permanent collections of many prestigious institutions, including the Oketa Collection in Tokyo, Japan, the Powerlong Art Museum in Shanghai, China and the Museum Voorlinden, Netherlands. In recent years, Rokkaku’s market movement has seen a steady increase in the value of her paintings, with all five of the artist’s top auction price records set since the beginning of 2022. Since 2015, Rokkaku’s total auction turnover has increased each year-over-year period and exceeded $32 million in 2022, almost doubling the artist’s previous high of approximately $18 million in 2021. All of Rokkaku’s top five auction records were sold during last year’s spring and summer auction seasons, further demonstrating the momentum in the artist’s market. As of April 13, 2023, Rokkaku’s top three auction records are led by: “Untitled” (2017), which sold for JPY 176,000,000 ($1,270,368) at SBI Art Auction Co, Ltd, Tokyo, Japan on July 16, 2022, “Untitled” (2021), which sold for HKD 10,290,000 ($1,044,606) at Christie’s, Hong Kong on May 26, 2022, and “Untitled” (2019), which sold for HKD 8,115,000 ($828,028) at Phillips, Hong Kong on June 22, 2022.⁽¹⁾

History of Selected Similar Sales

The table and chart below capture the historical data for selected auctions sales transactions, which are similar to the Painting. The selected sales data is intended to provide an estimate of the historical appreciation rate of the Painting by looking at a set of similar works by the artist that have sold at public auction. The set of similar sales comprise paintings by Ayako Rokkaku with the following criteria: paintings on canvas executed 2010 to present that measure between 29 inches by 29 inches to 96 inches by 96 inches, include one figure. Works where the figure takes up a significant amount of the composition have been excluded. Where the price with buyer’s premium was not listed, it was calculated based on the auction house’s terms and conditions. Where we were unable to determine the auction house Buyer’s Premium, due to incomplete data, a default of 10% Premium was added to the hammer price. The data was sourced from publicly available auction records and does not include private sales. Such data may be incomplete or inaccurate. Sale records that do not contain images may be excluded from the comparative set. Although the paintings in the described set have similar characteristics to the Painting, each individual painting is unique in terms of artistic content, coloring, condition, provenance and other factors. We, therefore, cannot make any determination or representation that any of the data set forth below is useful in determining the value of the Painting and you are urged not to place undue reliance on such data. The art transaction data is not intended to indicate past or expected performance of any security. Similar sales may include transactions involving Masterworks acting as a buyer or seller. For the purposes of the table below, any sale that was conducted in a foreign currency has been converted to US Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate as of the applicable sale date. The realized prices comprised by this set of transactions have increased at an estimated 58.9% CAGR implied from selected sales occurring from October 27, 2018 to December 1, 2022.

Notes

Record Price Appreciation

A “record price” reflects the highest hammer price (excluding auction house buyer’s premium) achieved at a public auction for any artwork by a particular artist. The art market considers the progression of record hammer prices to be an indication of an artist’s market momentum and growth rate.  Paintings by Ayako Rokkaku have a record price compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 43.1% from November 17, 2007 to December 31, 2022. This calculation is based on (i) a record price of $4,711 on November 17, 2007, the earliest date that a painting by the artist was sold at public auction according to publicly available data and (ii) $1,062,566, the most recent record price as of December 31, 2022, the date that the Masterworks internal public sale database was last populated with artist market records. This analysis is based on public records as tracked by Masterworks and third-party data sources. Past record hammer price trends may not be indicative of future trends.

Median Repeat Sale Pair Appreciation

Median repeat sale pair appreciation reflects the median annualized price appreciation rate of all artworks by an artist that have sold at least twice at public auction (referred to as “repeat sales”). Repeat sale pair appreciation rates can be a useful measure of the progression of prices in a particular artist’s market over time. The median repeat sale pair appreciation for Ayako Rokkaku is 50.1%, which is based on 5 repeat sales during the time period beginning on the first purchase price date for the artist’s earliest repeat sales pair, which in the case of Ayako Rokkaku was February 25, 2010 and ending on the last date a repeat sale occurred for such artist, which in the case of Ayako Rokkaku was April 28, 2022. “Repeat sales” exclude artworks of an artist that were held for less than 1 year, meaning that an artwork was bought and sold at public auction in a span of less than 365 days, but may include transactions involving Masterworks acting as buyer or seller, and only include artworks reflective of the artist’s main medium, as defined by Masterworks. This analysis is based on public records as tracked by Masterworks and third-party data sources. Past repeat sale appreciation rates may not be indicative of future repeat sale appreciation rates.

While the data above reflects historical price appreciation in the value of selected works by Ayako Rokkaku, investors in this offering will only receive net proceeds from the sale of the Painting, if any, after the sale of the Painting and only after reduction of fees and expenses payable by the company are paid. In addition, the past performance of Ayako Rokkaku paintings is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on the historical trends reflected in this data.

INDICES ARE UNMANAGED. AN INVESTOR CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX. INDICES ARE USED FOR COMPARATIVE MODELLING PURPOSES ONLY. THE TIMING OF TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO AN ASSET OR PORTFOLIO, ADVISORY, AND TRANSACTION FEES, AND OTHER MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES CAN CREATE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PERFORMANCE OF AN INDEX AND AN INVESTMENT SEEKING SIMILAR OR SUPERIOR RELATIVE PERFORMANCE RESULTS.

The above disclosures in this section represent auction sales only and do not purport to include data regarding the total number of Ayako Rokkaku paintings currently in existence. The Company has been unable to find a reliable source of information regarding the total number of Ayako Rokkaku paintings currently in existence and therefore is unable to provide such information at this time.

Management Services

There are various services required to manage our business and maintain the Artwork. Pursuant to a management services agreement that will be entered into prior to the initial closing between us, Masterworks Cayman and the Administrator, the Administrator will manage all entity-level and asset management services relating to our business and the Artwork. The Administrator will receive aggregate fees and expense reimbursement for management services in the form of Class A preferred shares at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum, commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. The management services fee may commence before the final closing date in the limited circumstances described above because occasionally Masterworks issuers experience delays in receipt of investor subscription funds which delays the final closing, however, the provision of management services commences when the Artwork is acquired by the Company which occurs on the date of the initial closing. These Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement. Subject to those vesting provisions, these equity issuances to Masterworks will result in dilution to Class A shareholders. The share issuance in respect of fees and routine reimbursements to Masterworks will be made on a quarterly basis in arrears. Each Class A preferred share will convert into one Class A ordinary share (i) automatically upon transfer to any entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator or (ii) otherwise in the Administrator’s sole discretion. The Administrator may also reduce unearned management fees or voluntarily forfeit any unvested management fees in its sole discretion.

Any extraordinary costs or non-routine services, if any, will be managed and paid for by the Administrator, but such extraordinary costs will be reimbursed upon the sale of the Artwork or a sale of our Company, as applicable. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would be permitted to charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer’s premium charged by Sotheby’s, Christie’s or Phillips in effect at such time.

Ordinary and necessary entity-level administrative and maintenance costs include:

Ordinary and necessary Artwork-level administrative and maintenance costs include:

Extraordinary or non-routine costs for which the Administrator shall be entitled to seek reimbursement from us, as applicable, include:

Sale of the Artwork without a third-party intermediary:

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Our agreements with our affiliated entities and distribution participants raise various conflicts of interests in which the best interest of our Administrator and our affiliates may differ from the best interest of holders of the Class A shares.

Conflicts of Interest include but are not limited to the following:

Therefore, the interests of the Administrator and the other affiliates may differ significantly from those of investors in the Offering and subsequent holders of the Class A shares. As a result, we cannot assure investors that we will execute a discretionary sale of the Artwork at a time that is in the best interests of holders of the Class A shares.

Selling the Artwork

Our intention is to own the Artwork for an indefinite period, although we may elect to hold the Artwork for a longer period or sell the Artwork at any time due to certain circumstances. We, in our sole and absolute discretion, will have the ability, to sell the Artwork at any time and in any manner.

The Administrator will continuously offer the Artwork for sale and if any person offers to purchase the Artwork at any point in time, the Board of Managers will determine whether, and the terms upon which, the Artwork will be sold.

The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. There is no guaranty that any such sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time. Masterworks will be entitled to reimbursement for costs and expenses associated with any such transaction and may earn fees from such transactions to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and there can be no assurance that there will be any remaining net proceeds to be distributed after payment of such costs and expenses.

Following a sale of the Artwork, Masterworks will be reimbursed for any expenses for which it is responsible, including applicable sales commissions, income taxes, if any, and other transactional, extraordinary and non-routine expenses and other expenditures to enhance the value of the Artwork. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, Masterworks would be permitted to charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer’s premium charged by Sotheby’s, Christie’s or Phillips in effect at such time. Following the payment of all of such expenses and fees, we will distribute the remaining proceeds, if any, in accordance with our operating agreement. Following such distribution, we will be liquidated. However, there can be no assurance as to the timing of a liquidating distribution or that we will pay a liquidating distribution at all.

Competition

At the time we attempt to sell the Artwork, we may face substantial competition from other entities and individuals who are selling or seeking to sell similar artwork. These other parties may be better funded and may be able to sell their artworks at a lower price than us. Further, we will face significant risks from other competitive factors, such as the available supply of similar artworks for sale.

Government Regulation

Art Market Regulation

Art as tangible personal property is subject to regulation under different city, state and federal statutory schemes. Generally, domestic art transactions that are conducted within the United States are subject to state Uniform Commercial Code statutes, which govern the sale of goods. Some states have additionally enacted art specific legislation, such as New York’s Arts and Cultural Affairs Law and California’s Resale Royalty Act. In addition, federal statutes such as the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act and the National Stolen Property Act can apply to title disputes in the art market context. International art transactions involving the import and export of art into and out of the United States will subject us to the rules and regulations established by the United States Customs and Border Protection. Further, we and Masterworks will be subject to the requirements of the federal Cultural Property Implementation Act which is the United States’ accession legislation for the 1970 United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention which protects countries’ cultural property, including artwork. New York City, as a major art auction center, has enacted legislation governing the activities of auctioneers in the New York City Administrative Code and Masterworks may be subject to these regulations through its transactions and financing arrangements with auctioneers.

Patriot Act

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Patriot Act) is intended to strengthen the ability of U.S. law enforcement agencies and intelligence communities to work together to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The Patriot Act, to which we are subject, has significant implications for depository institutions, brokers, dealers and other businesses involved in the transfer of money. The Patriot Act required us to implement policies and procedures relating to anti-money laundering, compliance, suspicious activities, and currency transaction reporting and due diligence on customers. The Patriot Act also requires federal banking regulators to evaluate the effectiveness of an applicant in combating money laundering in determining whether to approve a proposed bank acquisition.

ORGANIZATION

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on March 27, 2023 by Masterworks in order to facilitate an investment in the Artwork. We are a manager-managed limited liability company managed by a Board of Managers. The Class A shares to be sold in this Offering when issued, together will represent 80% of interests in us and have very limited approval and voting rights in connection with the sale of the Artwork as further described in this offering circular and voting on certain amendments to our operating agreement, management services agreement and other certain rights pursuant to our operating agreement.

The Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters, including: mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, winding up and dissolution; except, the Board of Managers will not have the authority without first obtaining the prior approval or consent of holders of a majority of the voting shares, to amend, waive or fail to comply with any material provision of our operating agreement that adversely and disproportionately affects the Class A shareholders, except as provided therein.

EMPLOYEES

As of April 13, 2023, we had no full-time employees and no part-time employees. All of our day-to-day operations are managed by our Administrator.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings currently pending against us which would have a material effect on our business, financial position or results of operations and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened. It is possible that we will find ourselves involved in litigation, in which case we will be wholly reliant on the Administrator to address such litigation as necessary. If the Administrator settles a case or receives and adverse judgment, the Administrator would then be reimbursed upon a sale of the Artwork pursuant to the terms of the management services agreement.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on March 27, 2023 by Masterworks to facilitate investment in the Artwork. 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, maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the Artwork. We have not yet commenced operations and have no (or nominal) 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 Artwork. We plan to engage an auditor to audit our financial statements after the qualification of this Offering by the SEC. Following this Tier II Regulation A offering, we will include audited financial statements in our annual reports with the SEC on Form 1-K containing our financial statements for such fiscal year, presented in accordance with GAAP, including a balance sheet and statements of operations, company equity and cash flows, with such statements having been audited by an accountant selected by the Company.

Our strategy will be to display and promote the Artwork in a manner designed to enhance its provenance and increase its exposure and its value. We are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that will materially affect our operations or the liquidity or capital resources of the Administrator.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles will be based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding of our post-Offering financial statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our financial statements.

Investment in Artwork

Investment in artwork will consist of the Artwork. Upon acquisition, the Artwork will be recorded at the original cost basis. The Artwork will be held in a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman. In accordance with ASC 810-10, the Company intends to consolidate the Masterworks Cayman segregated portfolio it owns as if it were a separate legal entity and not consolidate any other segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman.

Artwork is determined to have an indefinite life. The Company will review the artwork for impairment in accordance with the requirements of ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“ASC 360”). Those requirements will require the Company to perform an impairment analysis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the artwork might not be recoverable, i.e., information indicates that an impairment might exist. In accordance with ASC 360, the Company will:

If it is determined that measurement of an impairment loss is necessary, the impairment loss would be calculated based on the difference between the carrying amount of the Artwork and its estimated fair value. An impairment loss would be reported as a component of income from continuing operations before income taxes in the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

In preparing our financial statements, management will be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts, particularly with respect to investments, at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts may differ materially from these estimates.

True-up

The true-up payable to Masterworks will be recorded as an expense, which will reduce members’ equity.

Contingencies

We may be subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which may involve substantial dollar amounts) that can arise out of our normal business operations. We would continually assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to our contingencies, as well as potential amounts or ranges of probable losses, and recognize a liability, if any, for these contingencies based on a thorough analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, liabilities may change in the future due to new developments (including new discovery of facts, changes in legislation and outcomes of similar cases through the judicial system), changes in assumptions or changes in our settlement strategy.

Income Taxes

We expect that we will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not as an association or publicly traded partnership subject to tax as a corporation. As a partnership, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, each shareholder that is subject to U.S. tax will be required to take into account its distributive share, whether or not distributed, of each item of our income, gain, loss, deduction or credit. See “Material U.S. Federal Tax Considerations”. The Administrator will have the authority to act on our behalf with respect to tax audits and certain other tax matters and to make such elections under the Internal Revenue Code and other relevant tax laws as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Administrator

Masterworks will pay all costs associated with the development and operation of the Masterworks Platform, costs associated with the acquisition of the Artwork and all costs of our organization and this Offering. Masterworks will also be responsible for all ordinary and necessary costs for ongoing management expenses relating to our Company, Masterworks Cayman and the Artwork. In exchange for management and custodial services and paying all ordinary and necessary operating costs and expenses, Masterworks will receive equity interests in us. These equity issuances to Masterworks will, subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement, result in dilution of 1.5% per annum to Class A shareholders. These dilutive issuances will begin following the final closing of this Offering or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. We do not anticipate that we will maintain any material liquid assets and, accordingly, we will rely upon the Administrator to pay for the maintenance of the Artwork and the management of our business in accordance with the management services agreement.

The administrator has covenanted to provide us with selected unaudited balance sheet information on a semi-annual basis and we expect to include such information in reports we file with the SEC following the completion of this Offering. The table below summarizes selected unaudited balance sheet information of the Administrator as of June 30, 2022 and as of June 30, 2021, respectively:

As of the final closing the Company will have no liabilities, commitments or obligations, other than obligations pursuant to the management services agreement as of such dates. We and the Administrator believe that revenues and expense reimbursements from the Company pursuant to the management services agreement, together with contributions from Masterworks derived from equity contributions from members, earnings generated primarily from sourcing artwork and cash on hand, will be sufficient for the Administrator to perform its obligations under the management services agreement for at least the first five-years following the Offering. We do not believe we will need to raise any additional funds through the issuance and sale of securities in the foreseeable future and are not permitted to do so under our operating agreement without first obtaining the prior approval of the Class A shareholders. The Administrator’s source of financing is equity contributions from Masterworks, LLC. Masterworks, LLC was funded from its inception in 2017 through October 2021 through borrowings from Scott W. Lynn, the Founder of Masterworks. These borrowings were repaid in October 2021 and Masterworks is currently funded through equity contributions of approximately $110 million from private investors and cash flow from operations. The Administrator will earn fees in the form of additional Class A preferred shares issued by us and other similar issuer entities, which it may periodically sell to obtain additional liquidity, though such Class A preferred shares are subject to vesting requirements. The Class A preferred shares have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over Class A ordinary shares and each Class A preferred share can be converted into one Class A ordinary share at any time at the discretion of the holder of the Class A preferred share, and converts automatically upon transfer to an entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator. The direct incremental costs incurred by the Administrator to satisfy its obligations under the management services agreement are expected to be less than its revenues, though such revenues may be insufficient to cover the Administrator’s overhead. In addition, the Administrator has covenanted in the management services agreement that for so long as such agreement remains in effect, the Administrator will maintain on hand cash reserves sufficient to pay at least one year of estimated expenses to satisfy its obligations under the management services agreement to fund the Company’s operations until the sale of the Artwork.

The Administrator expects to conduct other business activities, including the management of other entities similar to the Company and expects that, with scale, the Administrator’s revenues will exceed its costs. Further, as noted in the foregoing, the Administrator intends to engage in other business activities, including performing services similar to those to be provided to the Company to other companies, and the Company cannot estimate at this time what the aggregate costs and expenses of the Administrator will be with respect to such activities as they will depend on many factors. Additionally, we intend to own the Artwork for an indefinite period, although the Artwork will be perpetually available for sale following the Offering and we will evaluate any reasonable third party offers to acquire the Artwork.

Commitments from Affiliates to Fund Operations

We have a written commitment from the Administrator to fund our operations until we sell the Artwork which is contained in the management services agreement. In respect of such commitment and for management services, the Administrator will receive a management fee in the form of Class A preferred shares equal to 1.5% of the Class A shares outstanding per annum.

Commitments from Affiliates to Fund Class A shares, Offering Costs and Expenses

The costs associated with this Offering shall be paid by the Administrator rather than from the net proceeds of the Offering. None of these fees, costs or expenses will be reimbursable by the Company to Administrator, although Masterworks will receive an upfront payment, or “true-up” which is intended to be reasonable compensation for Masterworks’ (i) performing sourcing services, including identification of the seller, research, analysis, evaluation, inspection, appraisal, due diligence and transaction negotiation and execution services to acquire the Artwork; (ii) commitments of capital to finance the acquisition of the Artwork, and (iii) administrative services and costs. The true-up is the only expense incurred by the Company and the only expense directly or indirectly incurred by investors in this Offering associated with sourcing and financing the Artwork and no other expense is directly or indirectly paid by the Company or investors in connection with the organization of the Company, the securitization of the Artwork or this Offering, including the marketing and underwriting costs associated with this Offering.

MANAGEMENT

Our Administrator

Our day to day operations are managed by the Administrator. The Administrator performs its duties and responsibilities pursuant to our operating agreement and management services agreement. The Administrator and its affiliates have the exclusive right and power to manage and operate our Company, subject to the powers of our Board of Managers and other than limited voting rights reserved under our operating agreement for the holders of the Class A shares.

As of the date of this filing, 100% of the membership interests of the Company are held by Masterworks. Our amended and restated operating agreement created four classes of membership interests of the Company in the form of Class A ordinary shares which are offered hereby, Class A preferred shares, Class B shares which are owned by Masterworks, as well as the Class C share.

Summary of Management Services Agreement

We plan to enter into a management services agreement with the Administrator and Masterworks Cayman, prior to the initial closing of this Offering. The following summarizes some of the key provisions of the management services agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the management services agreement itself, which is included as Exhibit 6.1 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part.

Services to be Provided

Pursuant to the management services agreement, the Administrator agreed to provide the Company and Masterworks Cayman, itself directly or through its affiliates, with Artwork-level services and provide entity-level services on the terms and conditions set forth in the management services agreement.

The services to be provided by the Administrator under the management services agreement include the following:

Third Parties and Exclusivity

Pursuant to the management services agreement the Administrator may to the extent it determines that it would be advisable, arrange for and coordinate the services of other professionals, experts and consultants to provide any or all of the services under the management services agreement in which case, the costs and expenses of such third parties for providing such services shall be borne by the Administrator with it being understood that the Administrator shall not charge any fees in addition thereto with respect to such outsourced services.

The obligations of the Administrator to us are not exclusive. The Administrator may, in its discretion, render the same or similar services as rendered to us to any person or persons whose business may be in direct or indirect competition with us.

Rights of the Administrator

Pursuant to the management services agreement, the Administrator and its affiliates shall have the right to engage in the following activities, and will be responsible for all incremental costs associated with such activities (including taxes):

For such rights, the Administrator will pay us a royalty of $10.00 per annum. The Administrator will display or exhibit the Artwork if and when the Administrator reasonably believes that such display or exhibition would increase the exposure, profile and appeal of the Artwork. In the event that any revenues are generated from such activities, the Administrator may choose to retain all or a portion of such revenues.

Compensation of the Administrator and Reimbursement

The Administrator will receive fees and expense reimbursement for its services from the Company in the form of Class A preferred shares at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum, commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. These Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement. Subject to such vesting provisions, these equity issuances to Masterworks will result in dilution to Class A shareholders of 1.5% per annum. Any extraordinary or non-routine services, if any, will be managed and paid for by the Administrator, but such extraordinary costs will be reimbursed upon the sale of the Artwork or a sale of our Company, as applicable. For more information, see “Management — Summary of Administrator Compensation”.

Sale of the Artwork without a third-party intermediary:

Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would be permitted to charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer’s premium charged by Sotheby’s, Christie’s or Phillips in effect at such time.

Ordinary and necessary management and maintenance costs and expenses include:

Extraordinary or non-routine costs for which the Administrator shall be entitled to seek reimbursement include:

Provision of Financial Information

The Administrator will report to the Company on a semi-annual basis its current and total assets, current and total liabilities, and total equity and the Company intends to include such amounts in its SEC reports.

Termination

The term of the management services agreement will terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the dissolution of our Company; or (ii) our termination of the management services agreement on the terms set forth in the agreement.

Under the management services agreement, we may terminate the agreement at any time upon a vote of our members pursuant to our operating agreement following any of the following:

(i) The commission by the Administrator or any of its executive officers of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(ii) The conviction of the Administrator of a felony;

(iii) A material breach by the Administrator of the terms of the management services agreement which breach is not cured within 30 days after receipt by the Administrator of a notice of such breach from any member of our Company (provided that if such breach is not capable of cure within 30 days, and the Administrator is diligently taking steps to cure the breach, then no such event shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until the Administrator fails to cure such breach within 60 days after receiving notice thereof);

(iv) A material violation by the Administrator or any of its executive officers of any applicable law that has a material adverse effect on our business; or

(v) The bankruptcy or insolvency of the Administrator.

On the date of termination, or if we do not have the available funds on such date, then as soon as practicable after we do have the available funds, we will pay any accrued but unpaid costs subject to reimbursement owed to the Administrator through to such date.

Indemnification

Under the management services agreement we agreed to indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend the Administrator, its affiliates, any officer, member of the Board of Managers, employee or any direct or indirect partner, member or shareholder of the Administrator, any person who serves at the request of the Administrator on behalf of us (referred to herein as the “Indemnified Persons”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in enforcing the Indemnified Persons’ rights to indemnification under the management services agreement. The indemnification under the management services agreement shall not apply to any actions, suits or proceedings in which one or more officers, member of the Board of Managers, partners, members or employees of the Administrator are making claims against the Administrator or one or more other officers, member of the Board of Managers, partners, members or employees of the Administrator.

Amendment of Management Services Agreement

Amendments to the management services agreement may be proposed only by or with the consent of the Administrator and may be approved by the Board of Managers, provided that any amendment that would be adverse or detrimental to the interests of members of the Company must be approved by holders of a majority of voting shares.

Prohibited transactions under our operating agreement

The Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters, including: mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, winding up and dissolution; except, the Board of Managers shall not have the authority to amend, waive or fail to comply with any material provision of our operating agreement that disproportionately and adversely affects the Class A shareholders, except as provided therein, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting shares.

Sale of Artwork

The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. The Artwork is effectively perpetually available for sale following the final closing of the Offering and we intend to promote the Artwork in ways we believe will enhance its visibility, value and exposure to the market. There is no guaranty that any such sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time. Masterworks will be entitled to reimbursement for costs and expenses associated with any such transaction and may earn fees from such transactions to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and there can be no assurance that there will be any remaining net proceeds to be distributed after payment of such costs and expenses.

Following a sale of the Artwork, the Company will pay or reimburse Masterworks for any expenses for which it is responsible, including applicable third-party sales commissions, income taxes, if any, and other transactional, extraordinary and non-routine expenses and other expenditures to enhance the value of the Artwork. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, it would be permitted to charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer’s premium charged by Sotheby’s, Christie’s or Phillips in effect at such time. Following the payment of all of such taxes, expenses and fees, we will distribute the remaining proceeds to our shareholders in accordance with our operating agreement. There can be no assurance as to the timing of a liquidating distribution or that we will pay a liquidating distribution at all.

Summary of Administrator Compensation and Expense Reimbursement

The Administrator will receive fees and expense reimbursement for its services from the Company in the form of Class A preferred shares at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum. The Class A preferred shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares offered in this Offering Circular, except they carry a $20.00 per share liquidation preference. This preference means that the Administrator will receive a cash distribution in respect of its management fees in priority to investors. Upon completion of the Offering, the Company expects there to be zero Class A preferred shares issued to the Administrator, as the issuance of Class A preferred shares commences on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the final closing has occurred or an earlier closing has occurred if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company.

Example of compensation and expense calculation

The following table illustrates the number of Class A preferred shares that would be issued to the Administrator per annum over a hold period of the Artwork of up to 10 years and the corresponding aggregate value of the liquidation preference and ownership percentage of the total Class A shares outstanding. The following table assumes that the issuance of the Class A preferred shares to the Administrator commences on the first day of the fiscal year.

Limited Liability and Indemnification of the Board of Managers, the Administrator and Others

Our operating agreement limits the liability of the Board of Managers, any members of our Company, any person who is an officer of our Company and any person who serves at the request of the Board of Managers on behalf of us as an officer, member of the Board of Managers, partner, member, stockholder or employee of such person and the management services agreement limits the liability of the Administrator and its affiliates. None of the foregoing persons shall be liable to us or the Administrator or any other of our members for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by other person with respect to us, including any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a liability resulting from any of the foregoing person’s own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any intentional and material breach of our operating agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). With the prior consent of the Board of Managers, any of the foregoing persons may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to our affairs (including interpretations of the Masterworks 267, LLC operating agreement) and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants. In determining whether any of the foregoing persons acted with the requisite degree of care, such person shall be entitled to rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of members of the Board of Managers, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and professional advisors of our Company selected with reasonable care; provided, that no such person may rely upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false. The foregoing limitations on liability reduce the remedies available to the holders of the Class A shares for actions taken which may negatively affect us.

Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of members of the Board of Managers, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Term, Withdrawal and Removal of Members of the Board of Managers

Our operating agreement provides that each member of our Board of Managers will serve as our Manager, for an indefinite term, but a Manager may be removed or replaced for any reason by a majority of the Board of Managers or by the holder of the Class C share, if any.

Our members may only remove a member of the Board of Managers for “Cause,” following the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding voting shares. The term “Cause” is defined as:

Masterworks Shares

As of the date of this filing, 100% of the membership interests of the Company are held by Masterworks in the Form of Class B shares. Our amended restated operating agreement created four classes of membership interests of the Company in the form of Class A ordinary shares, Class A preferred shares, Class B shares, as well as the Class C share. Class A preferred shares are issued to the Administrator pursuant to the management services agreement. Class B shares, which are owned by Masterworks, represent a 20% “profits interest” in our fully diluted equity. The Class B shares will entitle Masterworks to 20% of the profit on sale of the Artwork or the ability to convert such shares into Class A shares with a value at the time of conversion equal to 20% of the increase in value of our issued and outstanding shares. Masterworks cannot transfer any Class A preferred shares issuable to Masterworks pursuant to the management services agreement prior to the applicable vesting date. Class A preferred shares issued to Masterworks prior to the three-year anniversary of the final closing of this Offering shall vest on the three-year anniversary of the final closing of this Offering, as may be extended or shortened in accordance with the management services agreement. In the event vesting occurs prior to a sale of the Artwork, a new vesting period shall apply to all shares issued to Masterworks from and after such vesting date until the three-year anniversary of such vesting date and all of such Class A preferred shares will vest on such three-year anniversary of the prior vesting date, unless such vesting period is extended or shortened in accordance with the management services agreement. Class A preferred shares will automatically convert to Class A ordinary shares upon any transfer of such Shares to any person or entity other than an affiliate of the Administrator and may be converted into Class A ordinary shares at any time at the option of the holder. Masterworks has also agreed to lock-up provisions in our operating agreement that will prohibit it from selling any Class B shares prior to the one-year anniversary of the Offering. Masterworks will have no restrictions on the disposition of any of its Class B shares after the one-year anniversary of the Offering and no restrictions on the disposition of its Class A preferred shares once they vest, other than restrictions in our operating agreement, management services agreement and restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws. The Class C share represents a special class of membership interests, which has no economic rights or obligations and has no voting rights, but has the right to remove and or replace all or any members of the Board of Managers and reconstitute the Board without “cause” for any reason. The Class C share will only be issued to, or subsequently transferred to, a Masterworks Investor.
