To the extent not already qualified under Regulation A, these securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted before the offering statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is qualified. This preliminary offering circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor may there be any sales of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful before registration or qualification under the laws of any such state.

MASTERWORKS VAULT 3, LLC

Preliminary Offering Circular

January 8, 2024

Subject to Completion

Offering of Series Class A ordinary shares

Representing Series Class A Limited Liability Company Interests

Masterworks Vault 3, LLC, which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “Masterworks Vault 3” or the “Company,” is a newly organized Delaware protected series limited liability company that has been formed to facilitate investment in individual works of art (“Artworks”) that will be owned by individual series of the Company. Each individual series will hold title to the specific Artwork that it acquires in a segregated portfolio of a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company. We are offering Class A shares representing Class A limited liability company interests of each of the series of the Company in the “Series Offering Table” beginning on page iv of this Offering Circular. There is no minimum number of Class A shares or dollar amount that needs to be sold of a series as a condition of any closing of the offering of a series. If any of the Class A shares offered by a series remain unsold as of the final closing of the offering of such series, such unsold Class A shares of such series shall be issued to Masterworks, in full satisfaction of its advance and the Expense Allocation as described in this Offering Circular. Subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable by investors.

We believe that the Class A shares of a series represent an effective means for investors to gain economic exposure to the Artwork held by that series and an investment in multiple series can provide exposure to the broader Post-War and Contemporary collecting categories of the art market. Artwork will be held for an indefinite period and may be sold at any time following the final closing of the offering of such series.

Our series offerings are conducted as a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning that while the offering of a particular series is continuous, active sales of series Class A shares may happen sporadically over the term of the offering.

There will be a separate closing, or closings, with respect to each series offering. An initial closing and each subsequent closing of a series offering will take place on the date subscriptions for the maximum number of series Class A shares have been accepted or an earlier date or dates determined by us in our sole discretion. The offering period for any series will not exceed 24 months from the qualification date of the offering statement that includes such series. We reserve the right to terminate a series offering for any reason at any time prior to the initial closing of such series offering. No securities are being offered by existing security-holders.

Each series offering is being conducted pursuant to Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for Tier 2 offerings.

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 such as the Company 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.

There is currently no public trading market for the Class A shares of any series, there is currently no secondary trading of Class A shares of any series on an alternative trading system, and an active market for the Class A shares may not develop or be sustained. 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 are currently listed for trading on an alternative trading system operated by an SEC-registered broker-dealer, referred to as the “ATS,” and we intend to facilitate secondary sales of Class A shares of each series on the ATS commencing on or after the three-month anniversary of the date the series offering is fully subscribed, which may provide a liquidity option for 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.

No sales of Class A shares of any series will be made prior to the qualification of the Offering Statement by the SEC or the qualification by the SEC of any post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement which contains a description of such series. All Class A shares will be offered in all jurisdictions at the same price that is set forth in this offering circular.

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

To invest in any series offering you must represent to us that the aggregate purchase price you pay for your investment is not more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov. We retain complete discretion to determine that subscribers are “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act) in reliance on the information and representations provided to us regarding their financial situation.

An investment in the Class A shares 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 13.

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.

STATE LAW EXEMPTION AND PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS

The Class A shares of each series are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). As Tier 2 offerings pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, the series offerings are 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). Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

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

For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this offering circular. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the Class A shares 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 June 14, 2023, to facilitate investment in one or multiple distinct Artworks. Masterworks will act as our agent to source Artworks and will manage all maintenance and entity-level administrative services relating to the Artwork of each series and the Company. We will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to an investment in, maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the 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.

Masterworks seeks to acquire Artwork for each series of the Company at public auction or in a privately negotiated transaction from a gallery, private collector, private sales division of an auction house or through an art advisor acting as agent on behalf of a private collector. No closing of any series offering will occur prior to the acquisition by such series of the relevant Artwork.

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. 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

Each Artwork that we acquire will be 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.

As a Delaware 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 Delaware 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. We do not anticipate that any series of the Company or 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 following the final closing of a series offering other than obligations arising pursuant to a management services agreement with Masterworks and potential contractual obligations associated with an eventual sale of the Artwork.

The Art Market

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

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

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

Artwork and Artist Metrics

Management Services

Management services are provided pursuant to a management services agreement among us and Masterworks, to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the initial series offerings, which incorporates a “unitary” fee structure. This means that unlike a typical investment entity in which, in addition to paying management fees, investors indirectly bear all operating costs and expenses which are charged to the investment entity, in our structure, the Administrator will pay all of our ordinary ongoing operating costs and expenses and manage all management services relating to our business, each series and the Artwork of each series in exchange for preferred equity interests in Masterworks Cayman issued at a rate of 1.5% of the total equity interests of each segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman outstanding, per annum, commencing on the earliest closing date on which the applicable series offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds for such offering have been received by the Company and continuing until the sale of the Artwork of a series. These issuances by Masterworks Cayman will effectively dilute the ownership interest of Class A shareholders in the Artwork at a rate of 1.5% per annum. Moreover, the fact that Masterworks will receive preferred equity interests means that Masterworks management and administrative fees and costs will be paid in preference to distributions to holders of Class A shares. There is no overall limit to the amount of preferred equity interests in Masterworks Cayman that may be issued to pay these fees and costs. Each series of the Company or segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, as applicable, will remain obligated to reimburse the Administrator for any extraordinary or non-routine costs, payments and expenses, if any, in cash from the proceeds of a sale of the Artwork of such series, and Masterworks may also charge additional transactional fees upon a private sale of Artwork in certain circumstances.

Acquisitions and Sales of Artwork

Artwork is sourced through Masterworks dedicated acquisitions team, composed of individuals with significant expertise in the art market, valuation and execution of art transactions. This team is supported by Masterworks research, analytics and an extensive art market database. Artwork we acquire for each series offering will be described in the section of this offering circular entitled “The Series Artwork.”

Our acquisition of title to Artwork and physical possession of Artwork for each series will occur contemporaneously with or before the initial closing of the applicable series offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of the series offerings to acquire the Artworks, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Masterworks will advance any additional funds required to consummate the acquisitions. The remaining net proceeds of the series offerings, together with any unsold Class A shares of such series, if any, will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the Expense Allocation as described in the section “Management Compensation.” No interest will accrue on the Masterworks advance.

We determine to sell Artwork based on a number of factors, including our perception of the fair value of the Artwork relative to its proposed selling price, our perspective on the current state and future direction of the applicable artist market and the art market more generally, the absolute net returns we can deliver to shareholders, the length of our holding period and other factors. Although we expect our holding period will typically be for three- to ten-years, 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.

Organizational and Capital Structure

The following diagram reflects Masterworks organizational structure and the material commercial relationships between us and Masterworks that will exist following a series offering:

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

Summary of Risks

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

Company Information

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

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The offering size of a series equals the sum of (a) the estimated purchase price that Masterworks anticipates paying for the Artwork plus (b) approximately 11% of such amount (approximately 10% of the maximum aggregate offering amount), as an upfront payment, or “Expense Allocation” payable to Masterworks. The initial offering price of $20.00 per Class A share of each series was randomly determined by Masterworks.

We believe that based on the arms-length ultimate purchase price of each Artwork of a series, historical appreciation rates of similar artworks by the same artist of such Artwork and other factors, the per share offering price of each series will constitute a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the Class A shares of such series as of the date such series is added to the Offering Circular.

SERIES DISTRIBUTION POLICY

As of January 8, 2024, 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

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

Risks Related to our Business Model

Each series will invest in a unique artwork and whether or not a series will deliver capital appreciation to investors is largely dependent on the art market, which we cannot control.

We cannot make any assurance that our business model will be successful. Our operations will be dedicated to acquiring and maintaining Artworks held by our series and facilitating the ultimate sale of Artworks. The ability of any series to deliver capital appreciation will depend to a large extent on economic conditions, the art market in general and the market for works produced by the specific artist, which are factors that are beyond our control. The value of an Artwork may decline after a series purchases it.

An investment in a series offering constitutes only an investment in that series and not in our Company or directly in any Artwork.

An investor in a series offering will acquire an ownership interest in the series related to that offering and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) our Company, (ii) any other series, (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.

Each of our company’s series will hold an interest in a single Artwork, a non-diversified investment.

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

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

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

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

Any sale of the Artwork of a series could be effected at an inopportune time, at a loss and or at a price that would result in a distribution of cash that is less than the price paid by investors to purchase the Class A shares of such series. We intend to hold the Artwork of each series for an extended period of time and may choose to sell the Artwork of a series opportunistically if market conditions are favorable, which we believe is necessary to achieve optimal returns. In the future, we may sell an Artwork at a loss if we believe that such a transaction would reduce future losses or if it would be necessary to satisfy our fiduciary obligations to our shareholders. Lastly, circumstances may arise that may compel us to sell the Artwork of a series at an inopportune time and potentially at a loss, such as if we face litigation, regulatory challenges or if Masterworks ceases to exist. There can be no assurance that the Class A shares of such series can ever be resold or that the Artwork of a series can ever be sold or that any sale would occur at a price that would result in a distribution of more than $20.00 per Class A share of a series.

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

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

Our business model involves certain costs, some of which are to be paid for through the issuance of equity which will have a dilutive effect on the holders of the Class A shares.

There are various services required to administer our business and maintain the Artwork of a series. Pursuant to a management services agreement among us, Masterworks Cayman and the Administrator to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the initial series offerings, the Administrator will manage all entity-level and asset management services relating to our business and the maintenance of the Artwork of each series. The Administrator will pay all ordinary and necessary costs and expenses associated with the administration of our business and maintenance of the Artwork of each series. Because we do not expect to maintain cash reserves or generate any cash flow, we will be completely reliant on the Administrator to fund our operations. In exchange for these services and incurring these costs and expenses, the Administrator will receive SPC Preferred shares of a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman issued at a rate of 1.5% of the total SPC shares of such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman outstanding which holds the Artwork of an applicable series, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum. These SPC Preferred shares have no voting rights, but have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over SPC Ordinary shares which are held by each series, which means Masterworks’ management fees will be paid in priority to distributions to Class A shareholders. This preference means that Masterworks management fees will be paid in priority to any payments made to Class A shareholders. There is no overall limit to the number of SPC Preferred shares that may be issued to pay these fees. In the Administrator’s sole discretion, each Masterworks SPC Preferred share may be exchanged for one Class A share of the series of which the segregated portfolio holds the Artwork. Accordingly, Masterworks management fees will dilute your economic interest in the Artwork at a rate of 1.5% per annum.

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

In the event the Artwork of a series is sold, your distribution of cash proceeds will be reduced by commissions, fees and expenses incurred as a result of administering, marketing and selling the Artwork of such series, as well as dilution resulting from management fees paid to Masterworks in the form of SPC Preferred shares. Transaction costs incurred as part of the sale of the Artwork of a series will differ depending on whether we choose or are able to sell the Artwork of a series privately or through a public auction. In a public auction, the principal transaction costs are a seller’s commission and buyer’s premium (a form of selling commission, based on a graduated scale set by each auction house), both of which reduce the net proceeds received by a seller from what a buyer ultimately pays. The final reported sales price includes the hammer price (i.e. the price at which the auctioneer declared the winning bid), and the buyer’s premium. The buyer may also separately incur additional fees or royalties. A seller typically receives the hammer price less the seller’s commission, if any. The economic terms negotiated between the seller and the auction house can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the value and importance of the specific work, whether the work is sold as an individual piece or part of a larger collection, anticipated demand levels, and other factors. In addition, the proceeds receivable by a seller are less favorable if the work is subject to a pre-auction guarantee. If we sell the Artwork of a series in a private transaction, there may be costs or expenses incurred by the series in connection with such sale and Masterworks shall be entitled to recoup its costs of marketing and selling the Artwork by seeking reimbursement from the applicable series or by charging the buyer a sales commission in connection with such sale. While we believe we may be able to substantially reduce the transaction costs of selling the Artwork of a series, they will not be entirely eliminated.

In addition, in connection with a distribution following a sale of an Artwork, Masterworks will be entitled to its 20% profits interest in respect of its ownership of Class B shares of such series, plus payments in respect of its SPC Preferred shares in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $20.00 per share or (ii) the amount payable per Class A share for each SPC Preferred share earned by it pursuant to the management services agreement. Accordingly, your investment returns upon a sale of the Artwork of a series, if such a sale can occur and if such sale can generate sufficient funds for a distribution after accounting for applicable fees and expenses, may be significantly lower than the actual rate of appreciation of the Artwork of such series.

Risks Associated with an Investment in the Artwork

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

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

The value of the Artwork is subjective.

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

Accordingly, due to the inherent challenges involved in estimating the realizable value of the Artwork, any appraisal or estimate of realizable value may prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be different than the amount ultimately realized upon sale.

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

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

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

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

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.

Masterworks performs appraisals of artwork in conformity with the 2020-2021 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) developed by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation (and in effect until December 31, 2023), although conflicts of interest may call into question standards related to appraiser independence. Appraisals are performed by employees of the Administrator and, therefore, Masterworks has conflicts of interest in performing appraisals. 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.

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

Investing in the Artwork of a series is subject to the following risks:

Although, acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks seeks to acquire the Artwork of each series and will conduct due diligence in connection with its purchase of the Artwork, no amount of due diligence can completely insulate a buyer against these risks and if any of these risks materialize, the value of the Artwork of such series may decline, and the value of the Class A shares of such series would be adversely affected.

If the Artwork is eventually exhibited publicly, it could be damaged, and insurance may not cover all of the damages, or even if insurance does cover the damages, it may cause the Artwork to be unsaleable.

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

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

Art is a highly illiquid asset and a significant percentage of objects go unsold when sent to auction. Even in the event that we attempt to sell the Artwork of a series, we cannot guarantee that there will be a buyer at any reasonable price.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Insurance coverage for the Artwork of a series may not cover all possible contingencies, exposing us to losses resulting from the damage or loss of the Artwork.

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

Risks Related to our Reliance on Masterworks

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

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

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

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

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

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

The series will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the series offering. There is no guarantee that any sale of the Artwork of a series will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time.

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 all series together 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.

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.

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

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

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

Our 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.

Risks Relating to Potential Conflicts of Interest

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

Masterworks and its affiliates will have substantially complete discretion to determine when and if to sell the Artwork of a series. Since Masterworks earns its management fees in equity, it is aligned with investors to maximize the price per share over time. However, Masterworks may have cash requirements or other economic incentives or disincentives relating to when to sell the Artwork of a series that are misaligned with the interests of shareholders of such series. Accordingly, there is a risk that Masterworks and its affiliates will have conflicts of interest and no assurance can be given that any such conflicts will be resolved in a manner that is in the best interests of shareholders of a series.

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 the offering of such series, Masterworks may eventually sell its shares.

Masterworks currently owns and will own 1,000 Class B shares of each series representing a 20% profits interest in such series following the offering of such series and will own Class A shares of such series if and to the extent the offering of such series is undersubscribed, as well as SPC Preferred shares of a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman issuable to Masterworks pursuant to the management services agreement which will be exchangeable for Class A shares of the series of which the segregated portfolio holds the Artwork at an exchange rate of 1 for 1. Masterworks has also agreed to lock-up provisions in our operating agreement, that will prohibit it from selling any Class B shares prior to the one-year anniversary of each series offering, though it is permitted to pledge all of its shares to unaffiliated third-party lenders and such lenders shall not be subject to the lock-up if they obtain ownership of the profits interest in connection with a default by Masterworks on its indebtedness. Masterworks will have no restrictions on the disposition of any of its Class B shares after the one-year anniversary of each series offering and no restrictions on the disposition of its Class A shares it would receive by exchanging the SPC Preferred shares of a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman or otherwise acquired, other than restrictions imposed by the management services agreement and applicable securities laws. These shares held by our affiliates, shall be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In general, our affiliates must either sell their restricted shares in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case the buyer would own restricted securities that could not trade freely with the Class A shares sold in a series offering for at least one year from the time of such sale, or they could sell their shares in accordance with Rule 144. We are unable to estimate the number of Class A shares of a series that will be sold under Rule 144 or pursuant to one or more future qualified offerings or the timing of such sales, since this will depend on the market price for the Class A shares of a series, the personal circumstances of the sellers and other factors. However, the availability for sale of substantial amounts of Class A shares of a series in the open market may adversely affect the market price of the Class A shares of such series offered by this offering circular.

Accordingly, the alignment that will exist upon the final closing of a series offering between Masterworks and our other shareholders of such series offering may not exist in the future. If Masterworks were to sell a significant portion of its shares, the interests of Masterworks may differ significantly from those of investors in the series offering and subsequent holders of the Class A shares of such series. As a result, we cannot assure investors 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.

Masterworks or another holder of a large block of shares of a particular series may seek to sell its shares on the ATS which could result in downward pressure on the share price.

In the event any person or entity, which may include an affiliate of Masterworks, acquires a significant percentage of the Class A shares of a series, such shareholder may elect to sell its interest in the Class A shares on the ATS or other trading platform which could result in downward pressure on the share price and depress the price you would realize upon sale.

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

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

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

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

Certain investment adviser representatives of Masterworks Advisers, LLC, or “Masterworks Advisers,” are exclusively dedicated to providing advisory services with respect to Masterworks financial products. Masterworks, directly or indirectly, pays the compensation of these individuals and Masterworks Advisers is a wholly owned subsidiary of Masterworks so the representatives have conflicts of interest and lack the independence of other investment professionals who may provide more generalized investment advice. While these individuals have regulatory duties to investors, including fiduciary duties, such individuals are exclusively dedicated to the provision of advisory services of Masterworks financial products. Accordingly, such individuals will not provide you with recommendations or advice on investing in other traditional or alternative asset classes.

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

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 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 or the management services 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 vote of the voting shares of all of the series then existing 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.

Selling your Class A shares may be difficult, or even impossible.

We do not plan to list the Class A shares of any series for trading on a national securities exchange, but we intend to facilitate secondary sales of Class A shares of each series on an alternative trading system operated by an SEC-registered broker-dealer, referred to as the “ATS,” commencing on or after the three-month anniversary of the date the series offering is fully subscribed. 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. We do not know the extent to which investor interest will lead to the development and maintenance of a liquid market. In light of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the relatively small market capitalization of each series of the Company, we cannot guarantee the ATS will provide a reliable or effective means of price discovery. 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 such series or of the Artwork of such series. The ATS will not be available to, or provide only limited functionality to, certain non-U.S. citizens. For a list of countries that are enabled on the ATS, see the trading section of the Masterworks Platform. Investors should be prepared to hold their Class A shares of such series for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares of such series will ever be saleable through the ATS or an alternative platform.

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

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

We will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. Therefore, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” and our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

We will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year. Therefore, our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

Foreign Holders of the Class A shares of a series may face significant restrictions on the resale of the Class A shares of a series due to rules restricting participation by foreign citizens.

The ATS or certain features of the ATS will not be available to residents of certain foreign countries. For a list of countries that are enabled on the ATS, see the trading section of the Masterworks Platform. Accordingly, if you reside outside of the United States you should consider the resale market for the Class A shares of a series to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your Class A shares of such series on the ATS, or at all.

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

Our operating agreement contains a 24.99% beneficial ownership limit, but we can waive such limit in our discretion on a case-by-case basis. Certain Class A shareholders of a series may beneficially own a large percentage of the outstanding Class A shares of such series. A concentration of ownership in one or a small group of shareholders may diminish liquidity on the ATS, particularly if any such shareholder is deemed to be an “affiliate” of the Company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, which would include any affiliate of Masterworks and would make it more difficult for such shareholder to sell its shares pursuant to applicable Federal securities laws. Conversely, concentrated ownership could also create an “overhang” risk, which is a risk that such shareholder or shareholders seek to liquidate their positions in a short time frame, which could significantly increase the supply of Class A shares of a series available for sale without a corresponding increase in demand, thereby driving the trading price of the Class A shares of such series downward.

Our capital structure may create situations in which the interests of Masterworks are not completely aligned with the interests of other shareholders.

The Class B shares of a series have the right to 20% of the profits upon a sale of the Artwork of such series and can be converted into Class A shares of such series pursuant to a formula in our operating agreement. The Class C share of a series can be issued or transferred to an affiliate of Masterworks and would provide such Masterworks affiliate with the exclusive right to remove, replace or reconstitute our Board of Managers without “cause” for any reason, which may adversely affect the interests of another series of the Company. The SPC Preferred Shares contain a $20 per share liquidation preference. Accordingly, there could be situations in which the interests of Masterworks are not completely aligned with the interests of our Class A shareholders. The ability of a Masterworks affiliate to replace our Board increases the chances that those situations might not be resolved in favor of the Class A shareholders. We and Masterworks intend to take reasonable steps to address potential situations in which Masterworks may have differing economic interests from those of other shareholders, such as in connection with an eventual sale of the Artwork of a series, including by forming a special committee comprised solely of Managers that are independent of management and Masterworks to approve any such sale, but there can be no assurance that these steps will adequately protect the interests of Class A shareholders of a series.

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

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

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

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

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).

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

The initial offering price per Class A share of each series will be approximately $1.98 above the pro forma net tangible book value per Class A share of such series immediately following the series offerings as a result of the Expense Allocation amount payable to Masterworks. The Administrator will earn a management fee in the form of SPC Preferred shares of a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, which will be exchangeable for Class A shares of the series of which the segregated portfolio holds the Artwork. If exchanged, these fees will, when issued, effectively further reduce the tangible book value per Class A share of the series over time. Additionally, if the value of the Class A shares of a series increases over time, the number of Class A shares of such series to be issued upon conversion of the Class B shares of such series will also increase over time resulting in additional dilution to holders of the Class A shares of such series.

Risks of investing using a credit card.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) require that any written offer be accompanied with or preceded by an offering circular. Section 2(a)(3) of the 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 may disseminate advertisements on mediums, such as television, radio, or direct mail, that may not satisfy traditional offering circular delivery requirements under the 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.

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

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

DILUTION

Prior to giving effect to each series offering, 100% of the membership interests of each series of the Company for which we are conducting a series offering are held by Masterworks.

Investors in the series offerings will suffer immediate dilution in the net tangible book value per share $1.98 as a result of the Expense Allocation to be paid to Masterworks as part of our cost of utilizing the Masterworks Platform and acquiring the Artwork of each series. We estimate that the net tangible book value per share upon the final closing of a series offering after giving effect to the intended use of proceeds from such offering will be $18.02.

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

Definitions for conversion calculation:

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

Examples of conversion calculation

The following table illustrates the number and percentage of Class A shares of a series (rounded to nearest whole share) that would be issued to Masterworks upon conversion of all of its Class B shares of a series based on hypothetical changes in the trading price or value of the Class A shares of a series, assuming that 83,250 Class A shares are sold in such series offering:

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

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

For example, if the value of the Class A shares of a series is $30 per share, based on the foregoing conversion formula, the Class B shares of a series will be convertible into 6,938 Class A shares of a series if Masterworks decides to convert all of the Class B shares of a series they hold. The new investors ownership interest would be diluted as follows assuming that 83,250 Class A shares of a series are sold in such series offering:

In addition, as additional SPC Preferred shares are issued to the Administrator as payment for its entity-level and asset management services, the corresponding series will suffer dilution.

Further, the SPC Preferred shares will be exchangeable for Class A shares of the series of which the segregated portfolio holds the Artwork at an exchange rate of 1 for 1. Once SPC Preferred shares are exchanged for Class A shares of a series, there will be dilution to the holders of the Class A shares of such series.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

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

Online Subscriptions

Our affiliate Masterworks, LLC and its principals own and operate the Masterworks Platform located at https://www.masterworks.com/ that allows investors to acquire interests in special purpose companies that invest in artworks. Through the Masterworks Platform, investors can, once they establish a profile, browse and screen potential artwork investments, view details of an investment and sign contractual documents online.

After the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part, the series offerings will be conducted through the Masterworks Platform, whereby investors will receive, review, execute and deliver subscription agreements electronically as well as make payment of the purchase price in the form of ACH debit, credit card, or wire transfer into non-interest bearing segregated sub account of the Company with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or a similar institution and will not be commingled with the account of any other series or the Company, until, if and when there is a closing with respect to that series. Credit card subscription shall not exceed the lesser of $30,000 or the amount permitted by applicable law, per series offering, per subscriber. Investors contemplating using their credit card to invest are urged to carefully review “Risk Factors – Risks of investing using a credit card.” Credit card investment will result in incurrence of third-party fees and charges, interest obligations which will lower your expected investment returns and could exceed your actual returns. In addition, if you cannot meet your minimum payment obligation, you may damage your credit profile which would make it more difficult and more expensive to borrow in the future. On any relevant closing date, the funds in the account will be released to the applicable series and the associated Class A shares of a series will be issued to the investors in the offering of a series. If there are no closings of the offering of a series, the funds deposited in the segregated sub account will be promptly returned to subscribers, without deduction and generally without interest.

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

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for 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

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

Investment Amount Limitations

The maximum investment amount per investor in any series is $250,000 (12,500 Class A shares) and the minimum investment amount per investor in any series is $15,000 (750 Class A shares) for investors that have not previously invested in offerings via the Masterworks Platform and $500 (25 Class A shares) for investors that have previously invested in other offerings on the Masterworks Platform. We reserve the right to reject any subscription, waive or increase the maximum purchase restriction or waive or decrease the minimum purchase restriction in our sole and absolute discretion and we routinely grant such waivers, increases or reductions for categories of investors or on a case-by-case basis. Accordingly, investors should not assume that the stated minimum investment restriction will be applied uniformly to all investors.

Subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable by the investors. Further, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s operating agreement, an investor, other than an affiliate of Masterworks, generally cannot own, or be deemed to beneficially own, as “beneficial ownership” is determined pursuant to Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act, more than 24.99% of the total number of Class A shares of a series outstanding. We may waive such limit on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion.

Generally, no sale may be made to you in the offering of a series if the aggregate purchase price you pay for your investment in any of the interests of our company (in connection with any series offered under Regulation A) is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, you are encouraged to refer to www.investor.gov.

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

Offering Period and Expiration Date

The series offerings are being conducted as a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning that while the offering of a particular series is continuous, active sales of series interests may take place sporadically over the term of the series offering. There will be a separate closing, or multiple closings, with respect to each series offering. An initial closing of a series offering will take place on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the maximum number of series Class A shares have been accepted, (ii) a date determined by us in our sole discretion and (iii) the date that is 24 months following the qualification date of the offering statement. Notwithstanding, we reserve the right to terminate a series offering for any reason at any time prior to the initial closing of such series offering. Additionally, any subsequent series closing following such initial closing will take place on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the maximum number of series Class A shares have been accepted, (ii) a date determined by us in our sole discretion and (iii) the date that is 24 months following the qualification date of the offering statement. If an initial closing has not occurred, a series offering will be terminated upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date that is 24 months following the qualification date of the offering statement and (ii) any date on which we elect to terminate the offering for a particular series in our sole discretion. No securities are being offered by existing security-holders.

Masterworks Platform

We plan to use the Masterworks Platform website at https://www.masterworks.com/ to provide notification of the anticipated series offerings. Prior to the qualification of a series offering by the SEC, we may post information about the anticipated series offering on the Masterworks Platform website, including prior auction sales of art created by the artist. 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 via download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the website as well.

Procedures for Subscribing

After the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part, if you decide to subscribe for any Class A shares in any series offering, you should visit the Masterworks Platform website at https://www.masterworks.com/, and follow the links and procedures described on the website. The website will direct you to receive (upon your acknowledgement that you have had the opportunity to review this offering circular), review, execute and deliver the subscription agreement electronically. The Masterworks Platform provides a secure portal to enable you to subscribe as follows:

Any potential investor will have ample time to review the Subscription Agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. We will not accept any money until the SEC declares this offering circular qualified.

The subscription funds advanced by prospective investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a non-interest bearing segregated sub account of the Company with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or a similar institution and will not be commingled with the account of any other series or the Company, until, if and when there is a closing with respect to that series. The funds in the account will be released to us on each closing date. We intend to complete multiple closings of each series offering and, until a closing date of a series offering, the proceeds for the series offering will be kept in the segregated bank account. At the closing of each series offering, the proceeds will be distributed to us and the associated Class A shares of the applicable series will be issued to the investors in this series offering. If any series offering is terminated without a closing, or if a prospective investor’s subscription is not accepted or is cut back due to oversubscription or otherwise, such amounts placed into a segregated account will be returned promptly without interest. Any costs and expenses associated with a terminated series offering will be borne by Masterworks.

You will be required to represent and warrant in your subscription agreement that you are an accredited investor as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D or that your investment in any of the interests of the Company (in connection with any series offered under Regulation A) does not exceed 10% of your net worth or annual income, whichever is greater, if you are a natural person, or 10% of your revenues or net assets, whichever is greater, calculated as of your most recent fiscal year if you are a non-natural person. By completing and executing your subscription agreement you will also acknowledge and represent that you have received a copy of this offering circular, you are purchasing the Class A shares of a series for your own account and that your rights and responsibilities regarding your Class A shares of a series will be governed by our operating agreement and Certificate of Formation, each filed as an exhibit to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part. Purchasers of the Class A shares of a series in the offering of a series and subsequent purchasers will be deemed to become party to the Masterworks Vault 3, LLC operating agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 2.3 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part.

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, non-accredited, non-natural investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

For the purposes of calculating your Net Worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Class A shares of a series.

In order to purchase Class A shares of a series and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to our satisfaction, that he or she is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in the offering of the series.

Non-U.S. investors may participate in the offering of a series by depositing their funds in the non-interest-bearing segregated account. Any such funds that are received shall be held on deposit until the applicable closing under the offering of the series or returned if there is no closing.

ADVISORY SERVICES

Investment adviser representatives of Masterworks Advisers, LLC (“Masterworks Advisers”), a SEC registered investment adviser, will provide investment advisory services to persons who have indicated an interest in investing in the Class A shares of each series offered pursuant to this offering circular and other offerings sponsored by Masterworks. These advisory services will be provided by a dedicated team of investment adviser representatives who are employees of Masterworks and associated persons of Masterworks Advisers. Any investor that speaks to an adviser representative will be requested to enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Masterworks Advisers, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the offering statement of which this offering circular is an integral part. The adviser representatives receive fixed compensation from Masterworks and Masterworks Advisers, and may also receive discretionary non-transaction-based incentive compensation from Masterworks Advisers and Masterworks affiliates. All funds necessary for the services provided by Masterworks Advisers and the dedicated advisor representatives are paid by Masterworks and no separate fees will be charged to investors in the series offerings in respect of such services.

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

USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER

Masterworks will pay all expenses of the series offerings, including fees and expenses associated with qualification of the series offerings under Regulation A. Therefore, the gross proceeds from the series offerings will equal the net proceeds from the series offerings. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of the series offerings to contribute to segregated portfolios of Masterworks Cayman to acquire the Artworks of the series, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, pursuant to a financing, license and sourcing agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.4 to the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms an integral part, Masterworks will advance to the segregated portfolios of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artworks of a series any additional funds required to consummate the acquisitions. The remaining net proceeds of the series offerings, together with any unsold Class A shares of the series, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolios of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artworks and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the Expense Allocation. Accordingly, in any circumstance in which an initial closing of a series offering occurs, at the time of the final closing of such series offering, all Class A shares of such series will be issued and outstanding, the purchase price of the Artwork of such series and the Expense Allocation will be fully paid, each series will own its respective Artwork and the Company will have no indebtedness.

The gross proceeds of each series offering will be used for the following:

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The discussions contained in this offering circular 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 June 14, 2023, by Masterworks to facilitate investment in specific Artworks. We are a manager-managed limited liability company managed by a Board of Managers. Upon our formation, Masterworks was issued membership interests of the initial series of the Company representing 100% of our membership interests of each such series and will thereafter own 100% of the membership interests of each series prior to the initial closing of the offering conducted by such series. Masterworks adopted our amended and restated operating agreement and Masterworks will hold 1,000 Class B shares of each series that offers Class A shares. On or prior to the initial closing of the initial series offerings, we will enter into the management services agreement with our Administrator pursuant to which the Administrator will agree to maintain the Artwork of each series and manage our business. Our Administrator can withdraw for any reason from its position as our Administrator, subject to certain conditions.

Masterworks, acting as agent for the Company, is seeking to acquire a specific Artwork for each series of the Company at public auction or in a privately negotiated transaction from a private seller. No closing of any series offering will occur prior to the acquisition by such series of the relevant Artwork.

We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of each series offering to, indirectly through a segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman, acquire the Artwork of a series, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Masterworks will advance such segregated portfolio any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of a series offering, together with any unsold Class A shares in a series, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork for such series and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the Expense Allocation. The Masterworks advance does not incur interest. Following the initial closing of a series offering, title to the Artwork of a series will be held in such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman. The Artwork of a series will be the only asset of a segregated portfolio and neither the series nor the segregated portfolio will have any indebtedness.

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

Pursuant to a management services agreement among Masterworks, Masterworks Cayman and us to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the initial series offerings, Masterworks will manage all of our Company-specific administrative services and will maintain the Artwork of each series. In exchange for these services and paying all ordinary and necessary operating costs and expenses, Masterworks will receive SPC Preferred shares of a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, referred to as “SPC Preferred shares,” at a rate of 1.5% of the total SPC shares of such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman outstanding which holds the Artwork of an applicable series, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum. Such issuances shall commence on the earliest closing date on which the offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds for such offering have been received by the Company. There is no overall limit to the number of SPC Preferred shares that may be issued to pay these fees. SPC Preferred shares have no voting rights, but have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over SPC Ordinary shares which are held by each series. This preference means that Masterworks management fees will be paid in priority to any payments made to Class A shareholders. Once earned, the SPC Preferred shares will be exchangeable for Class A shares of the series of which the segregated portfolio holds the Artwork at an exchange rate of 1 for 1 in the Administrator’s sole discretion. Once SPC Preferred shares are exchanged for Class A shares of a series, there will be dilution to the holders of the Class A shares of such series. For any series established before September 20, 2023, SPC Preferred shares can only be issued to, transferred to, or, held by, a Masterworks affiliate. The Administrator will also manage any extraordinary or non-routine services which may be required, from time-to-time, including, without limitation, litigation or services in connection with a sale of the Artwork of a series or any sale, merger, third-party tender offer or other similar transaction involving us. Any third-party costs incurred by the Administrator or payments made by the Administrator in connection with litigation or major transactions will be accrued as a liability of the applicable series and reimbursed upon the sale of the Artwork of a series or our Company, as applicable. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork of a series without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, Masterworks would be entitled to recoup its costs of marketing and selling the Artwork by seeking reimbursement from the applicable series or by charging the buyer a sales commission in connection with such sale. For more information regarding the management services agreement, see “Management.” We will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to the ownership, maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the Artwork of a series. Our strategy will be to display and promote the Artwork of a series in a manner designed to enhance its provenance and increase its exposure and its value. 

Our Series LLC and Offering Structure

Each Artwork that we acquire will be owned by a separate series of the Company that we will establish to acquire that Artwork. 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. At the time of the initial closing of the offering for any particular series, the series will own 100% of the segregated portfolio that owns the Artwork, but such ownership interest will be diluted over time by Masterworks’ management fees as described under “Dilution”. We expect that the Company and each series will be regarded for income tax purposes as separate partnerships.

As a Delaware 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 Delaware 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 number of Class A shares offered in any series offering will equal the quotient of (i) the price paid to acquire the Artwork, plus the Expense Allocation payable to Masterworks, divided by (ii) $20.00, which represents the offering price per Class A share for each series offering. There is no minimum number of Class A shares or dollar amount that needs to be sold of a series as a condition of any closing of the offering of a series. If any of the Class A shares offered by a series remain unsold as of the final closing, such unsold Class A shares shall be issued to Masterworks, in full satisfaction of its advance and the Expense Allocation as described in this Offering Circular. Subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable by investors.

The Class A shares represent an investment solely in a particular series and, thus, indirectly in the Artwork owned by that series. The Class A shares do not represent an investment in any other assets of the Company or in Masterworks. We do not anticipate that any series will own anything other than the single Artwork associated with such series. We currently anticipate that the operations of the Company, including the formation of additional series and the corresponding acquisition of additional Artworks, will benefit investors by allowing investors to build a diversified portfolio of art investments.

Our series offerings are conducted as a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning that while the offering of a particular series is continuous, active sales of series interests may take place sporadically over the term of the offering.

There will be a separate closing, or multiple closings, with respect to each series offering. An initial closing of a series offering will take place on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the maximum number of series Class A shares have been accepted, (ii) a date determined by us in our sole discretion and (iii) the date that is 24 months following the qualification date of the offering statement. We reserve the right to terminate a series offering for any reason at any time prior to the initial closing of such series offering.

Each series 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. The subscription funds advanced by prospective investors as part of the subscription process with respect to a particular series will be held in a noninterest-bearing segregated sub account of the Company with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or a similar institution and will not be commingled with the account of any other series or the Company, until, if and when there is a closing with respect to that investor and that series. See “Plan of Distribution” and “Description of Shares” for additional information.

Acquisitions and Sales of Artwork

Artwork is sourced through Masterworks dedicated acquisitions team, composed of individuals with significant expertise in the art market, valuation and execution of art transactions. This team is supported by Masterworks research, analytics and an extensive art market database. Artwork we acquire for each series offering will be described in the section of this offering circular entitled “The Series Artwork.” We expect that Artwork we acquire will typically meet the below-listed general criteria, though we may offer an investment in series that hold Artwork that do not satisfy all of such criteria, including for the avoidance of doubt Artwork in other collecting categories:

The acquisition of the Artworks by segregated portfolios of Masterworks Cayman is planned to occur contemporaneously with or before the initial closing of each series offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closings of the series offerings to contribute to segregated portfolios of Masterworks Cayman to acquire the Artworks, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Masterworks will advance such segregated portfolios of Masterworks Cayman any additional funds required to consummate the acquisitions. The remaining net proceeds of the series offerings, together with any unsold Class A shares of such series, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolios of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artworks and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the Expense Allocation. No interest will accrue on the Masterworks advance. Following the initial closings of each series offering, title to the Artworks will be held in such segregated portfolios of Masterworks Cayman. After completion of an offering, ownership of shares in a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman will be the only material asset of a series and the relevant Artwork will be the only asset of the segregated portfolios, and neither the series nor the segregated portfolio will have any indebtedness.

We determine to sell Artwork based on a number of factors, including our perception of the fair value of the Artwork relative to its proposed selling price, our perspective on the current state and future direction of the applicable artist market and the art market more generally, the absolute net returns we can deliver to shareholders, the length of our holding period and other factors. Artwork may be sold through public auction or privately through galleries, art market intermediaries or directly to collectors. We may sell Artwork through a gallery or other intermediary from which we acquired the Artwork, particularly for Artwork by an artist that is associated with or represented by such gallery or intermediary. We may own the Artwork for an indefinite period of time and each series may sell its Artwork at any time following the final closing of the offering of such series. Although we expect our holding period will typically be in the range of between 3-10 years from the time of acquisition, we may own Artwork for a significantly shorter or significantly longer period. We, in our sole and absolute discretion, will be able to sell the Artwork of any series at any time and in any manner and distribute the proceeds of such sale. There is no guarantee that any sale of Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by Class A shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the most recent appraised value of the Artwork or the estimated net asset value of the Class A shares at such time.

Masterworks Experience Securitizing Artwork

In 2022, Masterworks affiliates acquired more than 96 distinct artworks at prices of between $400,000 and $11,000,000, making it one of the world’s most active participants in the Post-War and Contemporary art market. Masterworks has assembled a dedicated team of art market professionals focused on acquisitions, sales, valuation and transaction execution. These teams are staffed with individuals with diverse backgrounds and deep experience in the art market, including art investment, transactions, research and analysis. Masterworks has developed an extensive network of relationships with auction houses, galleries, art intermediaries, private collectors, conservators, logistics firms and other professionals in the United States, Europe and Asia, which it believes provides it with informational and transactional advantages in the artist markets in which it invests. This team is supported by an industry-leading art market research function and extensive database of public auction data.

Scott W. Lynn, the Founder of Masterworks and Chief Executive Officer of the Administrator has been an active collector of Post-War and Contemporary art for more than twenty years and has built an internationally-recognized collection of Abstract Expressionism that has included works by Clyfford Still, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, and more.

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

Prior Offerings by the Company

The series described in this Offering Circular are the first offerings conducted by the Company. If we offer additional series in the future, we intend to present information below in tabular form regarding prior offerings by the Company that have the status of “Closed” or “Fully Subscribed”. When an offering is “Closed”, all funds have been received by investors, all subscriptions have been accepted and all Class A shares offered have been issued. When an offering is “Fully Subscribed”, executed subscriptions for all Class A shares offered have been received, but not all funds have been received and not all Class A shares have been issued.

Offerings by Other Masterworks Issuers

Masterworks affiliated issuers have completed 293 Regulation A offerings as of the date of this Offering Circular, each representing an investment in a single artwork. Artists whose artworks are beneficially owned by these issuers include some of the most iconic Post-War and Contemporary artists, including Andy Warhol, Banksy, Ed Ruscha, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Yayoi Kusama, among many others.

Additional offerings by Masterworks affiliated issuers have been qualified by the SEC and are currently in progress, which means that they have not yet had a final closing, though certain of these offerings have been fully subscribed. In addition, other Masterworks affiliated issuers have filed offering statements which have not been qualified by the SEC. Such offering statements contain preliminary offering circulars which are incomplete, many of which do not currently identify the artist or the subject artwork.

In addition, Masterworks sponsors offerings pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 506(c) of Regulation D or Regulation S, by affiliated diversified artwork investment vehicles that will invest the proceeds of such offerings in a portfolio of artwork investments, which is expected to include an investment in the Class A shares of multiple series of the Company.

Dispositions

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