MASTERWORKS Vault 20, LLC

Preliminary Offering Circular

April 23, 2026

Subject to Completion

Offering of Series Class A ordinary shares

Representing Series Class A Limited Liability Company Interests

Masterworks Vault 20, LLC, which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “Masterworks Vault 20” or the “Company,” is a Delaware series limited liability company that has been formed to facilitate a series of restructuring transactions (“Restructuring Transactions”) relating to affiliated Delaware limited liability company issuers (collectively, “Target Issuers” and each, a “Target Issuer”) that have conducted an offering pursuant to Regulation A to facilitate an investment in a single work of art (each, an “Artwork”). We are offering Class A shares representing Class A limited liability company interests of each of the series of the Company (the “Offering”), which shall be issued for the Merger Consideration (as defined below) and in accordance with and pursuant to the Restructuring Transactions, in each case, as described within this offering circular.

Historically, all Masterworks offerings pursuant to Regulation A have been conducted by distinct Delaware limited liability company issuers and have involved investment in a singular Artwork. In May 2023, Masterworks began using Delaware series limited liability companies to conduct offerings more efficiently through the creation of separate series as opposed to separate legal entities for each Artwork. The purpose of the Restructuring Transactions is to transition the Target Issuers to this more efficient structure through a series of transactions, including a business combination, whereby each Target Issuer will be “rolled up” into a newly formed separate series of the Company. Each new series will have the same capitalization and share ownership as the applicable Target Issuer and will beneficially own the same Artwork, with no other material assets or liabilities and substantially the same contractual rights and obligations, tax attributes and governance as the applicable Target Issuer. As a result of the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions, existing members of each Target Issuer will receive one Class A share in a newly formed series of the Company in respect of each Class A share they hold in any Target Issuer with substantially the same voting and other rights as the Class A share held in the applicable Target Issuer. The Target Issuers will be identified and described in an amendment to this offering circular prior to the qualification of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part.

We do not intend to list the Class A shares of any series for trading on a national securities exchange, but shares of other Masterworks issuers, including the Target Issuers, are currently listed for trading on an alternative trading system operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“NCPS”), referred to as the “ATS”. We intend to facilitate secondary sales of the Class A shares of each series by listing each series on the ATS, which is expected to occur promptly after the completion of this Offering. The ATS may provide a liquidity option for certain U.S. investors and investors in certain non U.S. jurisdictions. No assurance can be given that the ATS will provide an effective means of selling your Class A shares of a series or that the price at which any Class A shares of a series are sold through the ATS is reflective of the fair value of the Class A shares of that series or the Artwork of that series.

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 controlled by Masterworks 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.

No person will earn any fees in connection with the Offering, and no broker-dealer is involved in the Offering. Neither the Company, the series or the Target Issuers will incur any cost in connection with this Offering.

We reserve the right to terminate this Offering for any reason at any time prior to the closing. We will close the entire Offering at one time. This Offering will commence within 48 hours of qualification by the SEC. There is no minimum number of interests or dollar amount that needs to be sold as a condition of the closing of this Offering. We have not engaged an escrow agent for this Offering.

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this Offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or your net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov. We retain complete discretion to determine that investors 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 of a series 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 8.

The SEC does not pass upon the merits of or give its approval to any securities offered or the terms of any offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering circular or other solicitation materials. These securities are offered pursuant to an exemption from 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.

Periodically, we will provide an amendment or supplement to the offering circular 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 amendment or supplement to the offering circular. 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 amendment or supplement to the offering circular, 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

The Class A shares of each series are being offered 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, the 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 the Class A shares of each series offered hereby are offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers”. “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in any of the interests of the Company (in connection with any series offered under Regulation A) does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons).

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.

The Offering will only be available to existing shareholders of the Target Issuers. As a result of the Restructuring Transactions, each series of the Company has been assigned Target Issuer shareholder representations contained in subscription agreements and secondary transaction agreements that the members of the Target Issuers are each a “qualified purchaser” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act).

USE OF CERTAIN TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

In this offering circular, certain capitalized terms are used in the context of a particular series and the same capitalized terms may be used in another context to refer generically to all series. Accordingly, it is important to consider the context in which such capitalized terms are used. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the following terms have the following meaning:

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE

We hereby incorporate by reference into this offering circular all of the information contained in the following filings by the Target Issuers with the Securities and Exchange Commission noted below, to the extent not otherwise modified or replaced by a subsequent filing or limited by the footnotes herein:

To the extent any financial statements are incorporated by reference, we will provide an electronic copy of such financial statements to any holder of securities, including any beneficial owner, upon written or oral request to support@masterworks.com or (203) 518-5172 at no cost. Additionally, such financial statements will be found at masterworks.com/about/disclosure.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS OFFERING

The following questions and answers about this Offering highlight material information regarding us and this offering that is not otherwise addressed in the “Offering Summary” section of this offering circular. You should read this entire offering circular, including the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

A: Masterworks has determined that it is more efficient to operate the investment entities it manages in a Delaware series limited liability company structure than in a structure involving a separate limited liability company for each artwork. The purpose of the Offering is to transfer all of the assets, rights and obligations of each Target Issuer identified in this offering circular into a separate “series” of the Company.

A: We do not believe the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions described in this offering circular will have any material impact on current Target Issuer shareholder rights or the terms or value of their investment.

Instead of owning shares in a Target Issuer, shareholders will own shares in a newly formed series of the Company with the same assets, obligations, board of managers, capitalization and share ownership as those of the Target Issuer.

A: For each Target Issuer identified in this offering circular, shareholders of such Target Issuer will receive the same number of shares in a series of the Company with the same identifying number. For example, if a Target Issuer shareholder hypothetically currently owns 50 Class A shares of Masterworks 500, LLC, assuming for purposes of this example only that Masterworks 500, LLC is a Target Issuer, following the completion of the Offering such shareholder would own 50 Class A shares of “Series 500” of the Company.

A: Masterworks intends to execute substantially identical restructuring transactions for all investment entities it manages that own a single artwork, though the timing of such transactions may vary. Masterworks intends to restructure all Masterworks issuers that own a single Artwork through a series of similar transactions. Multiple transactions are necessary since the value of securities offered in a Regulation A offering cannot exceed $75 million. Accordingly, if a Target Issuer shareholder owns securities of one or more Masterworks issuers that are not identified in this offering circular, following this Offering and these other restructuring transactions, such shareholder will own Class A shares in one or more series of the Company and, if applicable, one or more other series of one or more other Delaware series limited liability companies.

A: Masterworks.

A: The transactions described in this offering circular will not occur until the SEC has qualified the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part.

A: We do not anticipate any material impact on the secondary trading market. The Offering and the Restructuring Transactions contemplated by this offering circular will be executed electronically after trading hours and we do not currently expect these transactions will materially interfere with trading. We do anticipate a suspension of trading for one or two trading days following the effective date of the Restructuring Transactions to update share ownership and account records.

A: SEC rules require that we value the Offering based on the value of the consideration given up by investors, which would equal the aggregate value of the Class A shares of the Target Issuers immediately prior to the Restructuring Transactions, excluding the Management Fee Shares. For such purposes, we use the net asset value, or “NAV” per Class A share as of the most recent practicable date and intend to update such amount prior to the qualification of the Offering. NAV per Class A share equals the most recent appraised value of the relevant artwork as determined by Masterworks, reduced by the applicable liquidation preference attributable to Management Fee Shares, if applicable, and further reduced by the aggregate profit share, if any, attributable to the Class B shares, divided by the fully diluted number of Class A shares outstanding (including all Management Fee Shares). We elected not to use the prices at which Class A shares transacted on the ATS to value the consideration due to the low trading volume and episodic nature of trading in Class A shares.

A: No, we do not believe these transactions will have any tax impact on U.S. investors. For a discussion of the rationale underlying this determination, see “Material U.S. Federal Tax Considerations - Taxation of the Restructuring Transactions.”

A: Each Target Issuer will file a Form 1-U with the SEC when it is identified in this offering circular and upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this offering circular. In addition, the Administrator intends to notify all existing shareholders of these transactions prior to the consummation of this Offering by electronic communications or via the Masterworks Platform at www.masterworks.com.

SERIES OFFERING TABLE

The table below shows key information related to the Offering and each relevant series as of the date of this offering circular. Following the Restructuring Transactions, each surviving series will beneficially own the same Artwork as its applicable Target Issuer, as summarized below.

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 of a series. You should read this entire offering circular carefully, especially the risks of investing in the Class A shares of a series discussed under “Risk Factors,” before making an investment decision.

Overview

We were formed as a Delaware series limited liability company on November 18, 2024 to facilitate the Restructuring Transactions. Following the Offering, we will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the Artworks. Our strategy will be to hold Artworks for capital appreciation. We may display and promote the Artworks to enhance their value and broaden their exposure to the art-viewing public.

We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow from the Artwork held by any series unless and until the Artwork of such series is sold and no profits will be realized by investors unless they are able to sell their Class A shares of the series or the Artwork of the series is sold. Pursuant to the Target Issuer Agreements (as described below), we will be totally reliant on Masterworks for administrative and asset management services and the payment of all ordinary and routine operating costs, including those relating to each series, our Company as a whole and the Artwork of each series.

Our Series LLC Structure

Following the Restructuring Transactions, each Artwork will be beneficially owned by a separate series of the Company. Each series will hold title to the specific Artwork that it acquires in a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman SPC, or “Masterworks Cayman”, a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company. We expect that each series will be regarded as a separate partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and each segregated portfolio will be treated as a consolidated subsidiary for accounting purposes.

As a series limited liability company, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series of the Company are segregated and enforceable only against the assets of such series under applicable law. Similarly, as a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing of a particular segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman are segregated and enforceable only against the assets of such segregated portfolio under Cayman Islands law. This means that a creditor of the Company or Masterworks Cayman would only be entitled to recover against assets attributed and credited to the specific series of the Company or segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, as applicable, to which the obligation is attributed.

The Class A shares represent an investment solely in a particular series and, thus, indirectly in the Artwork beneficially owned by that series. The Class A shares do not represent a general investment in our Company or in Masterworks. Immediately following the completion of the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions, no series of the Company nor any segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman will beneficially own any material assets other than the single Artwork associated with such series or have any indebtedness or commercial obligations, other than those assumed under the Target Issuer Agreements.

The Restructuring Transactions

The purpose of the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions is to increase the efficiency of Masterworks operations by reducing the number of Masterworks issuer entities through a series of transactions, including a business combination, whereby each Target Issuer will be “rolled up” into a newly formed separate series of the Company. Each new series will have the same capitalization and share ownership as the applicable Target Issuer and will beneficially own the same Artwork, with no other material assets or liabilities and substantially the same contractual rights and obligations, tax attributes and governance as the applicable Target Issuer. As a result of the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions, existing members of each Target Issuer will receive one Class A share in a newly formed series of the Company in respect of each Class A share they hold in each Target Issuer with substantially the same voting and other rights as the Class A share held in the applicable Target Issuer.

Prior to the qualification of this offering circular, the Company will convert to a Texas series limited liability company pursuant to Section 10 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (“TBOC”) and will form two protected series in Texas in respect of each Target Issuer.

The Restructuring Transactions will comprise the following transactions which are expected to occur substantially concurrently following the qualification of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part:

Economic and Voting Rights

The following table further describes the economic and voting rights of each share class of a series following the completion of the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions:

Masterworks Management Fee Shares and Compensation Arrangements

Masterworks compensation arrangements will not change as a result of the Restructuring Transactions and existing compensation arrangements for each Target Issuer will be assumed by each surviving series. Masterworks compensation for all Target Issuers and for each surviving series consists of a 20% share of profits in the form of Class B shares and a 1.5% per annum issuance of Management Fee Shares for administrative services performed by the Administrator and as reimbursement for ordinary and necessary administrative costs and expenses paid by the Administrator on behalf of the Target Issuer and Masterworks Cayman. In addition, at the time of the Target Issuer’s initial Regulation A offering, Masterworks received a one-time payment from each Target Issuer equal to 10% of the offering amount as an expense allocation, or “true up”. No additional expense allocation will be paid in connection with the Restructuring Transactions or this Offering. Management Fee Shares are not part of this Offering and therefore will remain “restricted securities” following this Offering.

Company Information

We are a manager-managed series limited liability company, managed by the Board of Managers. Our principal office is located at 1 World Trade Center, 57th Floor, New York, New York 10007 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 aggregate value of the Class A shares of the Target Issuers immediately prior to the Restructuring Transactions, excluding the Management Fee Shares. For such purposes, we use the net asset value, or “NAV” per Class A share as of the most recent practicable date. NAV per Class A share equals the most recent appraised value of the relevant artwork as determined by Masterworks, reduced by the applicable liquidation preference attributable to Management Fee Shares, if applicable, and further reduced by the aggregate profit share, if any, attributable to the Class B shares, divided by the fully diluted number of Class A shares outstanding (including all Management Fee Shares).

SERIES DISTRIBUTION POLICY

No series has made distributions on the Class A shares of such series since our formation and we do not anticipate making distributions in the foreseeable future on any Class A shares, unless and until the Artwork held by such series is sold, at which point we will pay any expenses for which we are responsible and make a distribution to the holders of the Class A shares of such series in accordance with our operating agreement. There can be no assurance as to the timing of a distribution or that we will pay a distribution at all. There are no contractual restrictions on the ability of a series to make distributions.

RISK FACTORS

In general, we do not believe that there are any significant risk factors associated with this Offering or the Restructuring Transactions. However, investors should carefully consider the following specific risk factors, in addition to the other information set forth in this offering circular, to understand the risks associated with the Company and an investment in the Class A shares of any series of the Company.

Investors should also read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the offering circular of each Target Issuer, which is incorporated by reference herein and shall apply in whole to each relevant series after giving effect to the Restructuring Transactions. See “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”

Risks Related to our Business Model

Following the Offering, owning Class A shares in a series of the Company constitutes only an investment in that series and not in our Company or directly in any Artwork.

An investor will acquire an ownership interest in a series following the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) our Company, (ii) any other series (unless applicable), (iii) Masterworks, or (iv) directly in an Artwork associated with the series or any Artwork owned by any other series. This results in limited voting rights of the investor, including rights solely related to a particular series, and are further limited by the operating agreement, described further herein. Investors will have voting rights only with respect to certain matters, primarily relating to amendments to the operating agreement that would adversely change the rights of the interest holders and removal of a member of the Board of Managers of the Company for “cause.” Masterworks thus retains significant control over the management of the Company, each series and the Artworks. Furthermore, because the interests in a series do not constitute an investment in the Company as a whole, holders of the interests in a series are not expected to receive any economic benefit from the assets of any other series. In addition, the economic interest of a holder of Class A shares in a series reflects an investment in an Artwork, but also an interest in our corporate and governance structure and our management arrangement with Masterworks. Accordingly, ownership of Class A shares is not identical to owning a direct undivided interest in an Artwork.

Risks Related to our Reliance on Masterworks

The Board of Managers will have complete authority to administer our business consistent with the terms and conditions of our operating agreement, with limited exceptions.

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 of any series affected, except as otherwise set forth therein:

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

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

Holders of the Class A shares of a series 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 the Class A shares of a series do not elect or vote on the Board of Managers and, except for kick-out rights granted to Masterworks, 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 Class A shares outstanding of each series voting separately as a class and of all series together voting as a single class 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 of a series have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business, and therefore limited ability to influence decisions regarding our business.

Risks Relating to Potential Conflicts of Interest

Although Masterworks will own 1,000 Class B shares of each series representing a 20% profits interest in such series, and will beneficially own Class A shares of each series following this Offering, Masterworks may eventually forfeit, sell or transfer its shares.

The alignment that will exist upon the final closing of this Offering between Masterworks and the shareholders of each series in this Offering may not exist in the future. Masterworks earns the vast majority of its management fees and obtains profits interests in the form of equity interests in issuers sponsored on the Masterworks Platform and periodically sells these equity interests for cash consideration. In addition, Masterworks entered into a revolving secured promissory note with the Lynn Family Trust 001 pursuant to which it pledged substantially all of its assets, including any and all equity interests it owns in the Company, as collateral for borrowings thereunder. If Masterworks were to default under the revolving promissory note, such default could result in a forfeiture of its interests in the Company. If Masterworks were to forfeit, sell or transfer a significant portion of its shares in the Company or Masterworks Cayman, the interests of Masterworks may differ significantly from those of investors in this Offering and subsequent holders of the Class A shares. As a result, we cannot assure investors that the alignment between Masterworks and investors will exist in the future or that Masterworks will execute a discretionary sale of the Artwork of a series at a time that is in the best interests of holders of the Class A shares of such series.

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 of any series 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 of all series 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 of any series 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.

We are party to agreements that exculpate the Board of Managers, 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 Target Issuer Agreements limit 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 of any series for actions taken which may negatively affect us.

Our appraisal of the fair market value of an 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 Masterworks.

Appraisals are performed by employees of the Administrator and, therefore, Masterworks has conflicts of interest in performing appraisals. Masterworks performs appraisals of artwork in conformity with the 2024-2025 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) developed by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, although conflicts of interest may call into question standards related to appraiser independence. Accordingly, our appraisal of the fair market value of an 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 Masterworks.

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

Our 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 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 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 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.

The Class A shareholders of a series will have very limited voting rights and we will have the ability to sell the Artwork of a series 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 of a series at any time and in any manner. Our shareholders do not elect or vote on our Board of Managers. The Class A shares of each series have no voting rights other than to vote together a single class on certain matters that disproportionately and adversely affect such series in relation to any other series and to vote together as a single class and together with holders of all voting Class A shares outstanding of all series together as a single class to remove and replace the Administrator, to remove a member of the Board of Managers for “cause” and to approve certain acts as described in our operating agreement, including certain proposed amendments to the operating agreement.

Each outstanding Class A share of a series entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of such series, provided, that Class A shares of a series beneficially owned by Masterworks, if any, and shares of a series held by certain shareholders of such series 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 of an affected series or of all the series of our Company as one group, as applicable, 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 (2/3) vote of the voting shares of each series voting separately as a class and all of the series then existing voting as a single class. 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.

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.

Because we do not have an audit committee, holders of the Class A shares of a series 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 of each series 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 of each series 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).

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 of the Class A shares of a series.

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 of a series being able to vote upon certain limited circumstances, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt.

If certain Masterworks advertisements are considered offers, we may not meet traditional offering circulars delivery requirements.

The rules adopted by the SEC related to Regulation A offerings under the Securities Act require that any written offer be accompanied with or preceded by an offering circular. Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act defines the term “offer” expansively to include “every attempt or offer to dispose of, or solicitation of an offer to buy, a security or interest in a security, for value” and the Company understands that the SEC has consistently taken a very broad view of what may constitute an offer. Masterworks has previously produced advertisements on mediums such as television that may be deemed to be “offers” under the Securities Act.

In the future, Masterworks may disseminate advertisements on mediums, such as television, radio, or direct mail, that may not satisfy traditional offering circular delivery requirements under the Securities Act and may relate to advisory services or financial products sold pursuant to exemptions that do not require delivery of an offering circular. However, if any such advertisements are deemed to be “offers” of securities in this Regulation A offering, such communications could violate the securities laws and could result in fines, penalties and or other remedial actions. This could adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we may be forced to terminate series offerings or sell the Artwork of each affected series. In addition, Masterworks may need to discontinue or suspend certain types of advertisements, which would likely be harmful to its business and may have a material adverse effect on the Company and Class A shareholders.

There is a risk that persons who receive Class A shares offered hereby are not “qualified purchasers” as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act, which may have adverse effects on the Company’s ability to effectuate the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions as contemplated.

To complete the Offering in accordance with Regulation A the Company has an affirmative obligation to comply with the conditions of Regulation A, including the requirement that the Class A shares of each series be offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers.”

The Company does not intend to obtain new representations from investors in each Target Issuer that they are an “accredited investor” or “qualified purchaser”, but rather, intends to rely on “qualified purchaser” representations previously made by all persons to whom the Offering is directed which will be assigned to the Company and information already in its possession, including information collected directly from investors in Target Issuers. Further, there is no cash consideration involved in the Offering and the Offering, viewed in conjunction with the Restructuring Transactions, involves no change in economic value with respect to any shareholder’s existing investment. Such approach has not been endorsed by the SEC or other regulatory or judicial authority and there is a risk they would disagree with the Company’s position.

There is a risk that not all participants in the Offering are “qualified purchasers”. The Company’s failure to address this risk could result in a determination that the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 afforded by Regulation A is inapplicable to the Offering, which could result in a violation of applicable securities laws. In such event, the Company may be unable to consummate the Offering, may seek to consummate the offering through an alternative transaction structure and or may be required to take remedial action, which may include abandoning, reversing or rescinding the transactions contemplated by this offering statement.

DILUTION

No dilution will occur as a result of the Restructuring Transactions or the Offering. However, Masterworks will receive securities exchangeable for Class A shares following the completion of the Offering in accordance with the Target Issuer Agreements. Such dilution is described in each offering circular of the Target Issuers, which is incorporated by reference herein. See “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Class A shares of each series are being offered in respect of the Merger Consideration in connection with the Restructuring Transactions, such that all of the assets, rights and obligations of each Target Issuer are transferred into a separate series of the Company. The Offering will only be available to existing members of the Target Issuers and no action is required on the part of the existing members of the Target Issuers in connection with this Offering.

Masterworks, and not the Company or any series, will pay all of the expenses incurred in connection with the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions and neither the Company nor any series will receive any cash consideration from the Offering. The Offering is not being conducted through underwriters and neither Masterworks, LLC nor any other affiliated entity involved in the Offering is currently a member firm of FINRA.

Following the consummation of the Offering, the Class A shares will be distributed to members of the Target Issuers automatically through the Masterworks Platform and all records will be updated by the Target Issuers, the Company and the transfer agent as promptly as possible. The Administrator intends to notify all existing members of the Target Issuers of the Restructuring Transactions prior to the consummation of this Offering by electronic communications or via the Masterworks Platform.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the Class A shares of each series 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 of each series 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. In connection with any shareholder distributions upon a sale of an Artwork of a series, we may also engage Equity Stock Transfer, LLP as paying agent in accordance with the terms of our operating agreement.

Book-Entry Records of Class A shares

Following the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions, share registers will be updated by the transfer agent to reflect the membership of each series, which shall be identical to the share registry of each Target Issuer prior to giving effect to the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions. 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 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

As a result of the Restructuring Transactions, each series of the Company has been assigned Target Issuer shareholder representations contained in subscription agreements and secondary transaction agreements that the shareholders of the Target Issuers are each a “qualified purchaser” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act).

As a Tier 2, Regulation A offering, investors must either comply with the 10% limitation on investment or be 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 reserve the right to terminate this Offering for any reason at any time prior to the closing. We will close the entire Offering at one time. This Offering will commence and conclude within 48 hours of qualification by the SEC.

Masterworks Platform

We plan to use the Masterworks Platform website at https://www.masterworks.com/ to provide notification about the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions. This offering circular as well as amendments to this offering circular after it has been publicly filed and prior to qualification by the SEC will be furnished to prospective investors for their review on the website as well.

USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER

We expect to receive gross in-kind proceeds in connection with this Offering and the Restructuring Transactions valued at $70,693,998.50. Masterworks will pay all expenses of this offering, including fees and expenses associated with qualification of this Offering under Regulation A and all expenses of the Restructuring Transactions. Therefore, the gross proceeds received in connection with this Offering and the Restructuring Transactions will equal the net proceeds received in connection with this offering and the Restructuring Transactions. At the time of the closing of the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions, the same number and types of interests in each series as those in each Target Issuer will be issued and outstanding, each series will beneficially own its respective Artwork and the Company will have no indebtedness. See “Series Offering Table” for additional details on each series.

THE RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS

The following is a description of the Restructuring Transactions, which you should read carefully along with the rest of this offering circular.

Overview

The purpose of the Restructuring Transactions is to reduce the number of Masterworks issuer entities through a series of transactions, including a business combination, whereby each Target Issuer will be “rolled up” into a newly formed separate series of the Company. The new series will have the same capitalization and share ownership as the Target Issuer and will beneficially own the same Artwork, with no other material assets or liabilities and substantially the same contractual rights and obligations, tax attributes and governance as the Target Issuer. As a result of the Restructuring Transactions, existing members of each Target Issuer will receive one Class A share in the new series in respect of each Class A share they hold in the Target Issuer with substantially the same voting and other rights as the Class A shares in the Target Issuer.

Prior to the qualification of this offering circular, the Company will convert to a Texas series limited liability company pursuant to Section 10 of the TBOC and will form two protected series in Texas in respect of each Target Issuer.

The Restructuring Transactions will comprise the following transactions which are expected to occur substantially concurrently following the qualification of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part:

Detailed Restructuring Steps

Series Formation. To execute the Restructuring Transactions, prior to the qualification of this Offering Statement the Company will convert to a Texas series limited liability company pursuant to Section 10 of the TBOC and will form two protected series (the “Merger Series” and the “surviving series”) in respect of each Target Issuer, or 26 series in the aggregate. Upon formation, Masterworks will be the sole member of each Merger Series and each surviving series in respect of a $100 capital contribution to each such series, provided that such membership and membership contribution shall be redeemed automatically in connection with the Restructuring Transactions for the full amount of such capital contributions, such that following the Restructuring Transactions each series will have the same amount of cash as the applicable Target Issuer had immediately prior to the Restructuring Transactions and Masterworks will have the same ownership interest of each series as it had in each Target Issuer immediately prior to the Restructuring Transactions. The following table lists the name of each Target Issuer and each series of the Company prior to giving effect to the Restructuring Transactions, the number of Class A ordinary shares offered in the Offering, which is equal to the number of Class A ordinary shares sold by the applicable Target Issuer in its initial Regulation A Offering, and the number of Class A shares of the Target Issuer issued in respect of Management Fee Shares (including Class A shares originally issued to the Administrator which have been sold or transferred prior to the Restructuring Transactions), which will be issued by the applicable series privately in connection with the Restructuring Transactions.

Asset Transfers and Assignments. All of the assets of each Target Issuer, consisting of cash and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the segregated portfolio of Cayman SPC that owns title to the artwork beneficially owned by such Target Issuer (excluding any SPC Management Fee Shares), will be transferred to a newly formed series of the Company (each, a “Merger Series”) in exchange for 100% of the shares of Merger Series. In connection with the Asset Transfers each Target Issuer and each merger series will enter assignment and assumption agreements, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.3 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, whereby upon completion of the Restructuring Transactions, Masterworks Vault 20, LLC and each series shall become parties thereto in substitution of each Target Issuer.

The table below reflects the capitalization of each segregated Portfolio of Masterworks Cayman:

The diagrams below illustrate the organizational structure that would exist before and after the Asset Transfers in respect of each Target Issuer:

The share capital issued by Merger Series to Target Issuer in the Asset Transfers shall mirror exactly the share capital of Target Issuer held by its members. For example, if immediately preceding the execution of the Asset Transfers a Target Issuer had 100,000 Class A shares outstanding issued to Regulation A offering investors, 1,500 Class A shares issued to the Administrator as Management Fee Shares, 1,000 Class B shares outstanding and one Class C share outstanding, the same securities would be issued by Merger Series to Target Issuer with the same rights, preferences and terms as illustrated in the diagram below.

In connection with the Asset Transfers, each Target Issuer will assign all of its rights under Target Issuer Agreements to the applicable Merger Series and the Merger Series will assume all obligations of the Target Issuer under Target Issuer Agreements. Target Issuer Agreements include subscription agreements, the administrative services agreement (or management services agreement, as the case may be), the intercompany agreement and any agreements between the Target Issuer (or Masterworks as agent for the Target Issuer) and third parties.

Immediately following the Asset Transfers, each Target Issuer, the Administrator, and the Company, on behalf of itself and each series, will approve a merger whereby each Merger Series will merge with and into a newly created series of the Company in exchange for the Merger Consideration, with each series surviving the Merger as described below.

Distributions. Following the Asset Transfers and merger approvals, the Target Issuer will distribute one share of the applicable Merger Series to each shareholder of Target Issuer for each share of Target Issuer they hold and the class of Merger Series share distributed shall match the class of shares held in Target Issuer, such that following the Share Distribution, each Merger Series shall have the exact same capitalization and share ownership as the applicable Target Issuer such that each shareholder of Target Issuer (including Masterworks) will hold the same number of shares of the same class(es) in Merger Series as they hold in Target Issuer. The Board of Managers of each Target Issuer will declare a record date and effective time prior to the Distribution. At the effective time of the Distribution, the transfer agent for the Company will update the Company’s share register such that all shareholders who purchased securities originally sold in Regulation A offerings will receive the same number of shares in the applicable series of the Company. The effective time of the Distribution shall be at 12:00 a.m. midnight on the record date after all trades occurring on or prior to the record date have settled. At such time trading in Class A shares of the Target Issuers shall cease and no transfers of Class A shares of the Target Issuers shall be approved by the Target Issuers prior to the dissolution of the Target Issuers and any purported transfer shall be null and void. Promptly following the record date, trading in Class A shares of each series of the Company shall commence. The diagrams below illustrate the organizational structure before and after the Distributions with respect to each Target Issuer:

Merger. Immediately following the Distributions, each Merger Series will merge with and into the applicable surviving series pursuant to a merger agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.4 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, and each outstanding share of Merger Series will be converted into the Merger Consideration which consists of one share of a surviving series of the same class as the Merger Series share. The purpose of the Merger is to ensure that Class A shareholders in Target Issuer that hold shares initially issued in Regulation A offerings that are “freely transferable” under Federal securities laws will receive shares in a series of the Company as a result of the Restructuring Transactions that have the same character from a Federal securities law perspective. As a result of the transactions described previously and the Merger, each series will effectively become a successor in interest to the rights and obligations of the applicable Target Issuer under all Target Issuer Agreements. Following the Merger, the Company will convert back into a Delaware series limited liability company.

The diagrams below illustrate the organizational structure before and after the Merger for each Merger Series and surviving series:

Dissolutions. Under each Target Issuer’s operating agreement, the Target Issuer shall commence its winding up and dissolution without the need for shareholder approval upon the Target Issuer’s insolvency and/or upon a sale of all or substantially all of its assets (which expressly includes a sale of 100% of the equity interests of any subsidiary of the Target Issuer which owns the underlying artwork). Promptly following the Distribution, the Company believes each Target Issuer will be insolvent under Delaware law since it will have no assets and no ability to pay its debts. In addition, the Company believes the distribution itself constitutes a sale of all the assets of such Target Issuer for purposes of the operating agreement, since the intent of the provision is to permit dissolution when there would be no purpose or benefit to maintain the existence of the Target Issuer. Accordingly, each Target Issuer will be dissolved (the “Dissolution”) after the Merger and any outstanding membership interests in such Target Issuer will be concurrently extinguished.

Capital Structure Following the Offering

The table below shows the capitalization of each series of the Company following the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions.

The table below shows the capitalization of each segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman following the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The discussions contained in this offering circular, including those incorporated by reference, relating to the artist applicable to each series, the Artwork of each series 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 applicable to each series, the Artwork of each series and the art industry is reasonable, and that the factual information therein is fair and accurate.

Overview

We were formed as a Delaware series limited liability company on November 18, 2024 by Masterworks to facilitate a series of Restructuring Transactions. The purpose of the Restructuring Transactions is to increase efficiency by reducing the number of Masterworks issuer entities through a series of transactions, including a business combination, whereby each Target Issuer will be “rolled up” into a newly formed separate series of the Company. Each new series will have the same capitalization and share ownership as the applicable Target Issuer and will beneficially own the same Artwork, with no other material assets or liabilities and substantially the same contractual rights and obligations, tax attributes and governance as the applicable Target Issuer. As a result of the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions, existing members of each Target Issuer will receive one Class A share in a newly formed series of the Company in respect of each Class A share they hold in any Target Issuer with substantially the same voting and other rights as the Class A share held in the applicable Target Issuer. The Target Issuers will be identified and described in an amendment to this offering circular prior to the qualification of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part.

Our Series LLC and Offering Structure

Following the Restructuring Transactions, each Artwork will be beneficially owned by a separate series of the Company. Each series will hold title to the specific Artwork that it acquires in a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman SPC, a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company. We expect that the Company and each series will be regarded for income tax purposes as separate partnerships and each segregated portfolio will be treated as a consolidated subsidiary for accounting purposes.

As a series limited liability company, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series of the Company are segregated and enforceable only against the assets of such series under applicable law. Similarly, as a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing of a particular segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman are segregated and enforceable only against the assets of such segregated portfolio under Cayman Islands law. This means that a creditor of the Company or Masterworks Cayman would only be entitled to recover against assets attributed and credited to the specific series of the Company or segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, as applicable, to which the obligation is attributed.

The Class A shares represent an investment solely in a particular series and, thus, indirectly in the Artwork beneficially owned by that series. The Class A shares do not represent a general investment in our Company or in Masterworks. Immediately following the completion of the Offering and the Restructuring Transactions, no series of the Company nor any segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman will beneficially own any material assets other than the single Artwork associated with such series or have any indebtedness or commercial obligations, other than those assumed through the Target Issuer Agreements.

We will close the entire Offering at one time. The Offering is being conducted pursuant to Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act for Tier 2 offerings. Masterworks is not registered as a broker-dealer.

Art Appraisals

General

Appraisals of the artworks managed by Masterworks are performed by employees of the Administrator quarterly (subject to certain conditions and exceptions) and are subject to an independent qualified third party review on an annual basis. Artwork appraisals are performed by Masterworks in conformity with the 2024-2025 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice developed by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation using a sales comparison approach.

Appraisals are intended to estimate the “fair market value” of the relevant artwork (target object), which is defined as “the price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell, and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts” (see, IRS Publication 561). Fair market value includes estimated transaction commissions, and for works purchased at public auction, the expected buyer’s premium.

Masterworks assesses quantitative and qualitative factors that could impact fair market value. Fair market value is measured principally on the “Sales Comparison Approach,” a relative value comparison basis to sales transactions involving similar objects (also referred to as comparable sales), which have sold within the market that is most common for each object. Comparable (similar) objects are selected based on similar characteristics to the target object, which may include, but are not limited to: artist, size, date of creation, medium, series, imagery, execution, style or technique, colors, condition, provenance and/or exhibition history, and prior sale history (if any). Comparable sales may have taken place at public auction or in private sale, if such private sale information is verifiable. Comparable characteristics for each artwork are determined on a case-by-case basis based on the appraiser’s knowledge of the respective artist’s market.

Appraised Value

The values expressed in the appraisals are based on the best judgment and opinion of the individual appraiser(s) and the Administrator. These values are not a representation or warranty that the items will realize those values if offered for sale in an appropriate market. The values expressed are based on current information as of the indicated effective date of the appraisal. No opinion is expressed as to any past value, nor, unless otherwise expressly stated, as to any future value.

Conflicts of Interest

Appraisals are performed by employees of the Administrator. The Administrator receives equity-based compensation for the administration of the artwork and its affiliates have economic interests in the Masterworks business, as well as profits interests in our Company. Although the amount of equity-based compensation earned by the Administrator is not directly or indirectly tied to appraised values, if the Administrator were to sell Management Fee Shares or other Class A shares it owns, any such secondary sale price may be influenced by appraisals. The compensation of employees of the Administrator is not directly contingent upon the performance of any appraisal, including reporting of a predetermined value or direction in value that favors the cause of Masterworks, the appraised fair market value, the attainment of a stipulated result, or the occurrence of a subsequent event directly related to the intended use of any appraisal. Although the Administrator has inherent conflicts of interest, the Administrator has taken steps it deems reasonable in seeking to ensure that employees and others involved in performing appraisals can act independently of Masterworks and free from bias; no assurance can be given that a truly independent appraisal would not produce a different outcome.

The Artworks

Following the Restructuring Transactions, each series will beneficially own an Artwork. For information regarding each Artwork, please refer to the offering circular of the applicable Target Issuer. See “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” herein.

The Target Issuer Offerings

Each Target Issuer Regulation A offering occurred and was completed at least six months prior to the Restructuring Transactions. For additional information on each Target Issuer offering, see “Incorporation by Reference.”

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 series limited liability company on November 18, 2024 by the Administrator in order to facilitate investment in specific Artworks. We are a manager-managed limited liability company managed by a Board of Managers. The Class A shares of a series to be offered herein have very limited approval and voting rights in connection with the sale of the Artwork of a series and on certain amendments to our operating agreement, and other certain rights pursuant to our operating agreement, as further described in this offering circular.

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 as a whole or an affected series except as provided therein, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting shares of the Company or such series, as applicable.

EMPLOYEES

As of the date of this offering circular, we had no full-time employees and no part-time employees, other than our Officers, all of whom are compensated by Masterworks. All of our day-to-day operations are managed by our Administrator.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings currently pending against us (including any series) 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 an adverse judgment, the Administrator would then be reimbursed upon a sale of the Artwork of a series pursuant to the terms of the Target Issuer Agreements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We were formed as a Delaware series limited liability company on November 18, 2024 by Masterworks to facilitate the Restructuring Transactions. 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 of each series.

Our strategy will be identical to the strategy of the Target Issuers, namely, to display and promote the Artwork of each series 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.

Audited Financial Statements

The Target Issuers

The audited financials of the Target Issuers for fiscal year 2024 is incorporated by reference herein. Following the Restructuring Transactions, the financial statements for each individual series will be identical to the financial statements for each applicable Target Issuer prior to giving effect to the Restructuring Transactions. No costs or expenses of the Offering are borne by the Target Issuers, the Company or any series.

The Company

The Company has conducted no operations and has no material assets or liabilities as of the date of this offering circular and will not conduct any operations, acquire any material assets or incur any liabilities prior to the execution of the Restructuring Transactions. Accordingly, we have not presented audited financial statements in this offering circular, other than incorporation of audited financial statements of each of the Target Issuers. We have described below certain critical accounting policies that we intend to adopt following the Offering, which, for each series of the Company, are the same as those previously used for the Target Issuers. The Company intends to include an audited balance sheet on the date on which the Company’s special report on Form 1-K is due pursuant to Rule 257(b)(2)(i)(A) of Regulation A. The Company’s financial statements in its annual and semiannual reports, which will consist of balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of members’ equity and statements of cash flows, will include multiple columns for (i) the Company as a whole presented on a combined and consolidated basis and (ii) each relevant series on a consolidated basis, and the related audit reports, as applicable, will cover the Company as a whole and each relevant series.

We plan to engage AGD Legal, SC to audit our financial statements in future periods as required by Regulation A (Tier 2).

Pro Forma Financial Statements

We have included unaudited pro forma financial information for the Company as a whole and of each series after giving effect to the Restructuring Transactions, presented on a combined consolidated basis for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

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

Title to each Artwork is held by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman. Each segregated portfolio has no assets other than the Artwork, no indebtedness, and does not conduct any operations other than incidental to ownership of the Artwork. The Artwork is recorded at cost, which is the purchase price paid for the Artwork. Artwork is determined to have an indefinite life. The Company will review the Artwork of each series 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 of a series 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.

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 each series 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 Restructuring Transactions and all costs of our organization and the 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 of each series. Each series is a successor in interest to the rights and obligations of the applicable Target Issuer through the Target Issuer Agreements, which includes the relevant administrative services agreement (or management services agreement) for each Target Issuer. Pursuant to the Target Issuer Agreements, Masterworks will receive Management Fee Shares from each segregated portfolio in exchange for management and custodial services and paying all ordinary and necessary operating costs and expenses. 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 of each series and the management of our business in accordance with the relevant Target Issuer Agreement.

The Administrator has covenanted to provide us with selected unaudited balance sheet information on a semi-annual basis and we expect to continue to include such information in ongoing reports we file with the SEC. The table below summarizes selected unaudited balance sheet information of the Administrator as of December 31, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024, respectively:

As of the closing of the Offering, each series of the Company will have no liabilities, commitments or obligations, other than obligations pursuant to the Target Issuer Agreements. We believe the Administrator has sufficient sources of current and future liquidity to satisfy its obligations under the Target Issuer Agreements for the foreseeable future. We do not believe we will need to raise any additional funds through the issuance and sale of securities in a primary offering for any series 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 of such series.

Masterworks, including the Administrator, has experienced considerable growth since inception in 2017, which has been funded through equity contributions of approximately $110 million from private investors in October 2021 and cash flow from operations. The Administrator earns fees in the form of shares issued by each series and other issuer entities (or the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman owned by such entity), which it periodically sells to obtain additional liquidity. Masterworks has generated operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since 2022.

Each segregated portfolio will issue Management Fee Shares to the Administrator at a rate of 1.5% of the total outstanding equity interests of such segregated portfolio, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum. These shares will either be in the form of SPC preferred shares, which are subject to a $20.00 per share preference on liquidation or SPC ordinary shares depending on whether the applicable Target Issuer was obligated to issue SPC preferred shares or SPC ordinary shares. The Management Fee Shares shall have no voting rights for so long as they are held by Masterworks. For the avoidance of doubt, the Management Fee Shares earned by the Administrator after the Restructuring Transactions shall be earned at the same rate and shall have the same economic rights, restrictions and preferences with respect to such segregated portfolio and series as those that would exist with respect to the Target Issuer irrespective of the Restructuring Transactions.

Masterworks entered into a revolving senior secured promissory note with the Lynn Family Trust 001 in December 2025. The outstanding principal balance of the loan as of December 31, 2025 is $7 million. The loan is secured by substantially all assets of Masterworks, including a pledge of equity interests in the Company beneficially owned by Masterworks. Other than these rights to acquire equity interests from Masterworks in the event of a default under the loan facility, Masterworks creditors have no rights, claims or interest in the assets of the Company.

The Administrator conducts other business activities, including the management of other entities similar to the Company and expects its revenues will exceed its costs. Additionally, we intend to own the Artwork of each series for an indefinite period, although the Artwork of each series will be perpetually available for sale following the Offering and we will evaluate any reasonable third party offers to acquire the Artwork of a series.

MANAGEMENT

Our Administrator

Administrative Services Agreements

Our day-to-day operations are managed by the Administrator. Following the Merger, each surviving series will become a successor in interest to the rights and obligations of the applicable Target Issuer under all Target Issuer Agreements, including the administrative services agreement (or management services agreement, as the case may be). The Administrator performs its duties and responsibilities pursuant to our operating agreement and the relevant Target Issuer administrative services agreement (or management services agreement, as applicable).

The Administrator will receive Management Fee Shares from each segregated portfolio for its administrative services and related costs at a rate of 1.5% per annum of the total outstanding equity interests of the segregated portfolio, as further described in each Target Issuer Agreement. These shares will either be in the form of SPC preferred shares, which are subject to a $20.00 per share preference on liquidation or SPC ordinary shares depending on whether the applicable Target Issuer was obligated to issue SPC preferred shares or SPC ordinary shares, respectively. Such shares issued to the Administrator by each segregated portfolio shall be exchangeable for Class A shares of the applicable surviving series and shall have the same economic rights, restrictions and preferences with respect to such segregated portfolio and series as those that would exist with respect to the Target Issuer irrespective of the Restructuring Transactions.

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 as a whole or an affected series except as provided therein, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting shares of the Company or such series, as applicable.

Sale of Artwork

Each series will own its respective Artwork for an indefinite period and we may elect to hold the Artwork of a series for a longer period or sell the Artwork of a series at any time due to certain circumstances. We, in our sole and absolute discretion, will have the ability to sell the Artwork of a series at any time and in any manner. There is no guarantee that any such sale of the Artwork of a series will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders of such series from such sale will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares of such series at such time.

Following a sale of the Artwork of a series, 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 of such series. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork of a series, in which event, affiliates of Masterworks would be entitled to charge a sales commission, provided that any such amounts would not exceed the fees or commissions charged by unaffiliated third parties for similar services, as and to the extent described in the offering circular for the initial offering by the applicable Target Issuer. Following the payment of all of such expenses and commissions, we will distribute the remaining proceeds for such series, if any, in accordance with our operating agreement.

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, shareholder or employee of such person and the Target Issuer Agreements 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 Vault 20, 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 of a series 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 a 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 of a series.

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 of each series voting separately as a class and all series collectively voting as a single class. The term “Cause” is defined as:

Masterworks Shares

Prior to giving effect to the Offering, 100% of the membership interests of each series are held by Masterworks in the form of Class B shares of such series. Each series will have the same number and type of classes of membership interests as the applicable Target Issuer prior to giving effect to the Restructuring Transactions, which will include Class A ordinary shares of a series, Class B shares of a series and the Class C share of a series, and may include Class A preferred shares of a series.

Class B shares of each series, which are owned by Masterworks, represent a 20% “profits interest” in the fully diluted equity of each series. The Class B shares will entitle Masterworks to 20% of the profit on sale of the Artwork of a series or the ability to convert such shares into Class A shares of a series with a value at the time of conversion equal to 20% of the increase in value of the issued and outstanding shares of a series. Masterworks will have no restrictions on the disposition of any of its Class B shares of a series after the one-year anniversary of the final closing of the initial offering conducted by the applicable Target Issuer, other than restrictions in our operating agreement, the relevant Target Issuer Agreement and restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws.

The Class C share of a series represents a special class of membership interests of a series, 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 of a series will only be issued to, or subsequently transferred to, a Masterworks affiliate and there can only be one holder of Class C shares of all series of the Company at any point in time.

Securities Being Offered

Investors will acquire Class A shares in a series of the Company, each of which is intended to be a separate series of the Company for purposes of accounting for assets and liabilities. It is intended that owners of Class A shares in a series will only have an interest in the assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to the specific series. For example, an owner of interests in Series 1 will only have an interest in the assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to Series 1 and its related operations. See the “Description of Shares” section for further details.

Masterworks Platform

Overview

The Masterworks Platform is owned by Masterworks, LLC, and is operated by the principals of Masterworks (including Masterworks Administrative Services, LLC). Through the Masterworks Platform, investors can:

We intend to distribute the Class A shares of each series exclusively through the Masterworks Platform. Neither Masterworks, LLC nor any other affiliated entity involved in the offer of the Class A shares of a series is currently a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, and no person associated with us will be deemed to be a broker solely by reason of his or her participation in the sale of the Class A shares of a series.

ATS

An electronic alternative trading system, operated by NCPS, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC in accordance with SEC Regulation ATS (the “ATS”), is expected to facilitate trading of Class A shares of a series, which is expected to commence as promptly as possible after the completion of the Offering. The ATS will enable a holder of Class A shares of a series to post live bids and offers 24 hours per day seven days per week, provided that trades will actually occur only during regular trading hours that substantially mirror the trading hours on national securities exchanges.

In order to execute a transaction on the ATS, a buyer or seller of Class A shares of a series will be required to create a cash brokerage account with NCPS. To buy securities on the ATS, investors may also need to fund the brokerage account in an amount sufficient to pay the full purchase price. Owners of Class A shares of a series may submit bids and ask quotes to purchase or sell Class A shares of a series, and any such transactions will be executed by a broker-dealer authorized to settle trades (the “Executing Broker”), if applicable, and matched through the ATS.

We anticipate that there may be a suspension of trading of Target Issuer shares for one or two trading days following the effective date of the Restructuring Transactions for administrative reasons. Masterworks will directly notify owners of the Class A shares of a series when they are available for posting on the ATS and will file a notification of such availability on Form 1-U at such time. For so long as the Company exists and the shares of any series are available for posting on the ATS, the Company will continue to file reports under Rule 257 of Regulation A.

Just as with the Target Issuers, Masterworks currently expects to pay all costs and expenses associated with listing the Class A shares of a series on the ATS, establishment of brokerage accounts and trading and executing transfers of the Class A shares of a series on the ATS via the Executing Broker. Certain trading and or brokerage fees currently paid by Masterworks may be passed on to investors in certain foreign jurisdictions or to all investors in the future. In addition, Masterworks may at some point in the future seek to register to become a broker-dealer and a member of FINRA to enable it to earn transactional fees for trading the Class A shares or it may seek to earn administrative or other fees or recoup its costs associated with making a trading market available.

Secondary trades of Class A shares matched on the ATS are intended to comply with Blue Sky laws either through a Manual exemption in states where available, through a direct filing with the state securities regulators where required, as unsolicited transactions executed through a broker dealer or as isolated non-issuer transactions.

Due to regulatory compliance restrictions, the ATS or certain features of the ATS will not be available to residents of certain foreign countries or those who invest through a self-directed IRA. For a list of countries that are enabled on the ATS, see the trading section of the Masterworks Platform. In addition, Class A shares of a series held by affiliates of the Company are “control” securities under U.S. federal securities laws and are subject to restrictions on transfer. If you hold more than 10% of the Class A voting shares of a series, you may be deemed an affiliate of such series and may be unable to participate on the ATS or otherwise freely transfer your shares. The Company or its transfer agent may require you to provide a legal opinion and or other information to determine your affiliate status.

There can be no assurance that the ATS will provide an effective means of selling your Class A shares. In light of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the relatively small market capitalization of each series, we cannot guarantee that the ATS will provide a reliable or effective means of price discovery. Accordingly, any posted offer prices or historical transaction information reflected on the ATS should not be construed as being representative of the fair value of the Class A shares of a series or of the artwork owned by such series.

License Agreement

Effective upon the completion of the Restructuring Transactions, each series will be assigned a license agreement with Masterworks, pursuant to which Masterworks grants us a non-exclusive license for nominal consideration to use the name “Masterworks” and utilize systems, software and technology owned or licensed by Masterworks, including the Masterworks Platform, for certain activities and for the term outlined in the relevant Target Issuer Agreement. Other than with respect to this license, we will have no legal right to use the “Masterworks” name or Masterworks Platform. In the event that the Administrator ceases to manage our operations pursuant to the applicable Target Issuer Agreement, we would be required to change our name to eliminate the use of “Masterworks”.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

No executive officer, member of the Board of Managers, or significant employee or control person of our Company or the Administrator has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION

The Administrator, and its affiliates will receive certain fees and expense reimbursements for services relating to the maintenance and sale of the Artwork of each series pursuant to the Target Issuer Agreements. The items of compensation are summarized below. In addition, Masterworks will own 1,000 Class B shares of each series, representing a 20% “profits interest” in the fully diluted equity of each series following the closing of the Offering.

The fees and expense reimbursements described below will be identical to those of the predecessor Target Issuers irrespective of the Restructuring Transactions.

The following table sets forth the form of compensation and the recipient of such compensation together with the determination of the amount and the estimated amount. Please also refer to the “Management Compensation” section in the offering circular for each applicable Target Issuer.
