Item 1. Fundamental Changes
On December 21, 2023, the Company, on behalf of its Series 322, and the 322 segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC agreed to sell the sole painting owned by Series 322 created by Ernie Barnes (the “Artwork”) for $600,000 in cash (the “Sale Price”) to a private gallery (the “Buyer”), pursuant to an invoice and certain terms and conditions of sale (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). A copy of the Terms and Conditions is attached to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 6.1.
The Sale Price was determined based on arm’s length negotiations among the parties. Title of the Artwork shall pass to the Buyer only after payment in full of the Sale Price. The Terms and Conditions also contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties that are customary for transactions of this type. The Company cannot guarantee that the Buyer will make payment in full of the Sale Price or that the sale will be completed.
Upon the consummation of the above transaction and in accordance with the Company’s First Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, Series 322 will use the proceeds of the sale of the Artwork to pay or provide for payment of Series 322’s liabilities, costs and expenses and will distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of the assets to the Series 322 shareholders of record, after which the Company will wind up operations and dissolve Series 322.
