CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information contained in this Offering Circular includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered “forward-looking statements.”  Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of the Company, the Manager and the Rally Rd.™ Platform (defined below); and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations).  These forward-looking statements express the Manager’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, and intentions regarding the future.  In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements.  The words “anticipates”, “believes”, “continue”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “may”, “might”, “plans”, “possible”, “potential”, “predicts”, “projects”, “seeks”, “should”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict.  Neither the Company nor the Manager can guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting the Company, the Manager or the Rally Rd.™ Platform will be as currently anticipated.  These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties.  These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are also described below under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the parties’ assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.  You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

OFFERING SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere herein and in the Exhibits hereto.  You should read the entire Offering Circular and carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in the section captioned Risk Factors.”  You are encouraged to seek the advice of your attorney, tax consultant, and business advisor with respect to the legal, tax, and business aspects of an investment in the Interests.  All references in this Offering Circular to “$” or “dollars” are to United States dollars.

The Company: The Company is RSE Collection, LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company formed August 24, 2016. 

Underlying Asset: The Series #69BM1 Asset is a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (or “Series Boss Mustang” or “Underlying Asset”).  It is not anticipated that Series #69BM1 would own any assets other than the Series Boss Mustang, plus cash reserves for maintenance, storage, insurance and other expenses pertaining to the Series Boss Mustang and amounts earned by Series #69BM1 from the monetization of the Series Boss Mustang.  See “Description of the Series Boss Mustang” for further details. 

Securities offered: Investors will acquire membership interests in Series #69BM1 of the Company, which is intended to be a separate series of the Company for purposes of assets and liabilities.  See the “Description of Interests Offered” section for further details.  The Interests will be non-voting except with respect to certain matters set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company (the “Operating Agreement”).  The purchase of membership interests in Series #69BM1 of the Company is an investment only in Series #69BM1 and not an investment in the Company as a whole. 

Investors: Each Investor must be a “qualified purchaser.”  See “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Investor Suitability Standards” for further details.  The Manager may, in its sole discretion, decline to admit any prospective Investor, or accept only a portion of such Investor’s subscription, regardless of whether such person is a “qualified purchaser”. 

Manager: RSE Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the manager of the Company and the Series #69BM1 Interests.  RSE Markets, Inc. also owns and operates a mobile app-based investment platform called Rally Rd.™ (the Rally Rd.™ platform and any successor platform used by the Company for the offer and sale of interests, the “Rally Rd.™ Platform”) through which the Series #69BM1 Interests and other series interests are sold.  The Manager will, together with its affiliates, own a minimum of 2% and up to a maximum of 10% of the Series #69BM1 Interests upon the Closing of the Offering.  However, the Manager may sell some or all of the Interests acquired pursuant to this Offering Statement from time to time after the Closing of this Offering.   

Advisory Board:   The Manager intends to assemble an expert network of advisors with experience in relevant industries (an “Advisory Board”) to assist the Manager in identifying, acquiring and managing collectible automobiles.  

Broker: The Company has entered into an agreement with Cuttone & Company, LLC (“Cuttone” or the “Broker”), a New York limited liability company and a broker-dealer which is registered with the Commission and will be registered in each state where the Offering will be made prior to the launch of the Offering and with such other regulators as may be required to execute the sale transactions and provide related services in connection with this Offering.  Cuttone is a member of FINRA and SIPC.

Minimum and
maximum

Interest purchase: The minimum subscription by an Investor is one (1) Interest in the Series and the maximum subscription by any Investor is for Interests representing 10% of the total Interests in the Series, although such maximum thresholds may be waived by the Manager in its sole discretion.  The Purchase Price will be payable in cash at the time of subscription. 

 

Offering size: The Company may offer and sell a minimum of 1,800 and a maximum of 2,000 Series #69BM1 Interests pursuant to this Offering (of which the Manager must own a minimum of 2% and may own a maximum of 10% at the Closing, but which the Manager may sell at any time after the Closing), for a maximum aggregate amount of $115,000. 

Escrow Agent: Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., a Georgia banking corporation. 

Escrow: The subscription funds advanced by prospective Investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a non-interest bearing escrow account with Escrow Agent and will not be commingled with the operating account of the Series, until if and when there is a Closing with respect to that Investor. 

When the Escrow Agent has received instructions from the Manager or the Broker that the Offering will close and the Investor’s subscription is to be accepted (either in whole or part), then the Escrow Agent shall disburse such Investor’s subscription proceeds in its possession to the account of the Series. Amounts paid to the Escrow Agent are categorized as Offering Expenses.

If the 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 escrow by prospective Investors will be returned promptly to them without interest.  Any costs and expenses associated with a terminated offering will be borne by the Manager.

Offering Period: The Closing of the Offering will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the Maximum #69BM1 Interests have been accepted or (ii) a date determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, provided that subscriptions for the Minimum Series #69BM1 Interests have been accepted.  If the Closing has not occurred, the Offering shall be terminated upon (i) the date which is one year from the date this Offering Circular is qualified by the Commission which period may be extended by an additional six months by the Manager in its sole discretion, or (ii) any date on which the Manager elects to terminate the offering in its sole discretion.   

Additional Investors: The Manager and its affiliates must purchase a portion of the Interests (a minimum of 2% and up to a maximum of 10%) offered hereunder upon the Closing of the Offering.  In addition, the Automobile Seller may purchase a portion of the Interests. The Manager may sell its Interests pursuant to this Offering Statement from time to time after the Closing of this Offering.   

Use of proceeds: The proceeds received by the Series from the Offering will be applied in the following order of priority of payment: 

(i) Brokerage Fee: A fee equal to 0.75% of the amount raised through this Offering (which excludes any Interests purchased by the Manager, its affiliates or the Automobile Sellers) paid to Cuttone as compensation for brokerage services;

(ii) Asset Cost of the Series Boss Mustang: Actual cost of the Series Boss Mustang paid to the Automobile Seller (which may have been paid off prior to the Offering through a loan


3



to the Company), including any accrued interests under potential loans to the Company and through down-payments by the Manager to acquire the Asset prior to an Offering. In the case of the Offering for Series #69BM1 Interests the Series Boss Mustang was acquired prior to the Offering through a down-payment by the Manager and loan to the Company;

(iii) Offering Expenses: In general these costs include actual legal, accounting, escrow, underwriting, filing and compliance costs incurred by the Company in connection with the offering of a series of interests (and excludes ongoing costs described in Operating Expenses), as applicable, paid to legal advisors, brokerage, escrow, underwriters, printing and accounting firms, as the case may be. In the case of the Offering for Series #69BM1 Interests, the Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Offering Expenses;

(iv) Acquisition Expenses: In general, these include costs associated with the evaluation, discovery, investigation, development and acquisition of a collectible automobile. In the case of the Series Boss Mustang these costs include transportation, registration and pre-purchase inspection costs; and

(v) Sourcing Fee to the Manager: A fee not to exceed $3,828 paid to the Manager as compensation for identifying and managing the acquisition of the Series Boss Mustang.

The Manager bears all expenses related to items (iii) and (iv) above on behalf of the Series and is reimbursed by the Series through the proceeds of a successful offering. In addition, the Manager or an affiliate may loan the Company or the Series the funds required to pay any costs identified in item (ii), which will be reimbursed through the proceeds of a successful offering or refunded if an offering is aborted. Any loans made under item (ii), other than down-payments, accrue interest at the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), which was 0.66% as of October 2016, the time of the loan for the acquisition of the Series Boss Mustang.  See “Use of Proceeds” and “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Fees and Expenses” sections for further details.

Operating expenses: “Operating Expenses” are costs and expenses attributable to the activities of the Series (collectively, “Operating Expenses”) including: 

· costs incurred in managing the Underlying Asset, including, but not limited to storage, maintenance and transportation costs (other than transportation costs described in Acquisition Expenses); 

· costs incurred in preparing any reports and accounts of the Series, including any tax filings and any annual audit of the accounts of the Series (if applicable) or costs payable to any third party registrar or transfer agent and any reports to be filed with the Commission including periodic reports on Forms 1-K, 1-SA and 1-U; 

· any indemnification payments; and 

· any and all insurance premiums or expenses in connection with the Underlying Asset, including insurance required for utilization at and transportation of the Underlying Asset to events under Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) (excluding any insurance taken out by a corporate sponsor or individual paying to showcase an asset at an event but including, if obtained, directors and officers insurance of the directors and officers of the Manager or the Asset Manager). 

The Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Operating Expenses incurred prior to the Closing. Operating Expenses incurred post-Closing shall be the responsibility of the Series.  However, if the Operating Expenses exceed the amount of revenues


4



generated from the Underlying Asset, the Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the Series, on which the Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, which shall not be lower than the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the Series Boss Mustang (“Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation(s)”), and/or (c) issue additional Interests in order to cover such additional amounts.

We do not anticipate that the Series will generate any revenues in 2017 and expect the Series to either incur Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations or that the Manager pays such Operating Expenses incurred and will not seek reimbursement.  See discussion of “Description of the Business – Operating Expenses” for additional information.

Further issuance of

Interests:  A further issuance of Interests of the Series may be made in the event the Operating Expenses exceed the income generated from the Underlying Asset and any cash reserves and the Company does not take out sufficient amounts under the Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation to pay such excess Operating Expenses, nor does the Manager pay such amounts and does not seek reimbursement. 

Asset Manager: RSE Markets, Inc. will serve as the asset manager responsible for managing the Series Boss Mustang as described in the Asset Management Agreement.   

Free Cash Flow:  The net income (as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) generated by the Series plus any change in net working capital and depreciation and amortization (and any other non-cash Operating Expenses) and less any capital expenditures related to the Underlying Asset.  The Manager may maintain Free Cash Flow funds in a deposit account or an investment account for the benefit of the Series. 

Management Fee: As compensation for the services provided by the Asset Manager under the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager will be paid a semi-annual fee equal to 50% of any Free Cash Flow generated by the Series.  The Management Fee will only become due and payable if there is sufficient Free Cash Flow to distribute as described in Distribution Rights below.  For tax and accounting purposes the Management Fee will be accounted for as an expense on the books of the Series. 

Distribution Rights: The Manager has sole discretion in determining what distributions of Free Cash Flow, if any, are made to Interest Holders of the Series of Interests. Any Free Cash Flow generated by the Series of Interests from the utilization of the Underlying Asset shall be applied within the Series of Interests in the following order of priority: 

 repay any amounts outstanding under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations plus accrued interest; 

 thereafter to create such reserves as the Manager deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to meet future Operating Expenses; and; 

 thereafter, 50% (net of corporate income taxes applicable to the Series of Interests) by way of distribution to the Interest Holders of the Series of Interests, which may include the Automobile Sellers (as defined below) of the Underlying Asset or the Manager or any of its affiliates, and; 

 50% to the Asset Manager in payment of the Management Fee. 


5



Timing of Distributions: The Manager may make semi-annual distributions of Free Cash Flow remaining to Interest Holders subject to it having the right, in its sole discretion, to withhold distributions including the Management Fee in order to meet anticipated costs and liabilities of the Series.  The Manager may change the timing of potential distributions in its sole discretion. 

Fiduciary Duties: The Manager may not be liable to the Company, any series or the Investors for errors in judgment or other acts or omissions not amounting to willful misconduct or gross negligence, since provision has been made in the Operating Agreement for exculpation of the Manager. Therefore, Investors have a more limited right of action than they would have absent the limitation in the Operating Agreement. 

Indemnification: None of the Manager, nor any current or former directors, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, members, controlling persons, agents or independent contractors of the Manager, members of the Advisory Board, nor persons acting at the request of the Company or any series in certain capacities with respect to other entities (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) will be liable to the Company, the Series, any Interest Holders for any act or omission taken by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the business of the Company or a series of interests that has not been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

The Company or, where relevant, the Series will indemnify the Indemnified Parties out of its assets against all liabilities and losses (including amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines, penalties or settlement of litigation, including legal fees and expenses) to which they become subject by virtue of serving as Indemnified Parties with respect to any act or omission that has not been determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Unless attributable to a specific series of interests or a specific underlying asset, the costs of meeting any indemnification will be allocated pro rata across each of series of interests based on the value of each underlying asset.

Transfers: The Manager may refuse a transfer by an Interest Holder of its Interest(s) if such transfer would result in (a) there being more than 2,000 beneficial owners in the Series or more than 500 beneficial owners that are not “accredited investors”, (b) the assets of the Series being deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, (c) such Interest Holder holding in excess of 19.9% of the Series, (d) result in a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Company and/or the Series, or (e) the Company, the Series of Interests or the Manager being subject to additional regulatory requirements. Furthermore, as the Interests are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), transfers of Interests may only be effected pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act and permitted by applicable state securities laws.  See “Description of Interests Offered – Transfer Restrictions” for more information. 

Governing law: The Company and the Operating Agreement will be governed by Delaware law and any dispute in relation to the Company and the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.  If an Interest Holder were to bring a claim against the Company or the Manager pursuant to the Operating Agreement, it would be required to do so in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

RISK FACTORS

The Interests offered hereby are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. There can be no assurance that the Company’s investment objectives will be achieved or that a secondary market would ever develop for the Interests, whether via the Rally Rd.™ Platform, via third party registered broker-dealers or otherwise. The risks described in this section should not be considered an exhaustive list of the risks that prospective Investors should consider before investing in the Interests. Prospective Investors should obtain their own legal and tax advice prior to making an investment in the Interests and should be aware that an investment in the Interests may be exposed to other risks of an exceptional nature from time to time. The following considerations are among those that should be carefully evaluated before making an investment in the Interests.

Risks relating to the structure, operation and performance of the Company

An investment in the Offering constitutes only an investment in the Series and not in the Company or the Underlying Asset.

 

A purchase of Interests in the Series does not constitute an investment in either the Company or the Underlying Asset directly.  This results in limited voting rights of the Investor, which are solely related to the Series.  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 interests and removal of the Manager for “cause”.  The Manager and the Asset Manager thus retain significant control over the management of the Company and the Underlying Asset.  Furthermore, because the Interests in the Series do not constitute an investment in the Company as a whole, holders of the Interests in the Series will not receive any economic benefit from, or be subject to the liabilities of, the assets of any other Series of Interest.  In addition, the economic interest of a holder in the Series will not be identical to owning a direct undivided interest in the underlying Series Asset because, among other things, the Series will be required to pay corporate taxes before distributions are made to the holders, and the Asset Manager will receive a fee in respect of its management of the Series Asset.

 

There is currently no public trading market for our securities.

There is currently no public trading market for our Interests, and an active market may not develop or be sustained.  If an active public trading market for our securities does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your shares at any price.  Even if a public market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your shares.

There may be state law restrictions on an Investor’s ability to sell the Interests.

Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which (1) limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration and (2) govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers and stock brokers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or it must be exempt from registration. Also, the broker must be registered in that state. We do not know whether our securities will be registered, or exempt, under the laws of any states. A determination regarding registration will be made by the broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as the market-makers for our Interests. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of Investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our Interests. Investors should consider the resale market for our securities to be limited. Investors may be unable to resell their securities, or they may be unable to resell them without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.

Lack of operating history.

The Company and the Series of Interests were recently formed and have not generated any revenues and have no operating history upon which prospective Investors may evaluate their performance. No guarantee can be given that the Company and the Series of Interests will achieve their investment objectives, the value of the Underlying Asset will increase or the Underlying Asset will be successfully monetized.


7



Limited Investor appetite.

Due to the start-up nature of the Company, there can be no guarantee that the Company will reach its funding target from potential Investors with respect to the Series #69BM1 Interests or future proposed series of interests. In the event the Company does not reach a funding target, it may not be able to achieve its investment objectives by acquiring additional underlying assets through the issuance of further series of interests and monetizing them together with the Series Boss Mustang to generate distributions for Investors. In addition, if the Company is unable to raise funding for additional series of interests, this may impact any investors already holding interests as they will not see the benefits which arise from economies of scale following the acquisition by other series of interests of additional underlying assets and other monetization opportunities (e.g., hosting events with the collection of underlying assets).

There are few, if any, businesses that have pursued a strategy or investment objective similar to the Company’s.

We do not believe that any other company crowd funds collectible automobiles or proposes to run a platform for crowd funding of interests in collectible automobiles. The Company and the Interests may not gain market acceptance from potential Investors, potential Automobile Sellers or service providers within the collectible automobile industry, including insurance companies, storage facilities or maintenance partners. This could result in an inability of the Manager to operate the Underlying Asset profitably. This could impact the issuance of further series of interests and additional underlying assets being acquired by the Company. This would further inhibit market acceptance of the Company and if the Company does not acquire any additional underlying assets, Investors would not receive any benefits which arise from economies of scale (such as reduction in storage costs as a large number of underlying assets are stored at the same facility, group discounts on automobile insurance and the ability to monetize underlying assets through collectible automobile museums or other Membership Experience Programs, as described below, that would require the Company to own a substantial number of underlying assets).

Offering amount exceeds value of Underlying Asset.

The size of this Offering will exceed the purchase price of the Underlying Asset as at the date of such Offering (as the proceeds of the Offering in excess of the purchase price of the Underlying Asset will be used to pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in making this Offering and acquiring the Underlying Asset). If the Underlying Asset had to be sold and there has not been substantial appreciation of the Underlying Asset prior to such sale, there may not be sufficient proceeds from the sale of the Underlying Asset to repay Investors the amount of their initial investment (after first paying off any liabilities on the automobile at the time of the sale including but not limited to any outstanding Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation) or any additional profits in excess of this amount.

Excess Operating Expenses

Operating Expenses incurred post-Closing shall be the responsibility of the Series.  However, if the Operating Expenses exceed the amount of revenues generated from the Underlying Asset, the Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the Series, on which the Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the Series Boss Mustang (“Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation(s)”), and/or (c) issue additional Interests in order to cover such additional amounts.

If there is an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, this reimbursable amount between related parties would be taken out of the Free Cash Flow generated by the Series and could reduce the amount of any future distributions payable to Investors. If additional Series #69BM1 Interests are issued, this would dilute the current value of the Interests held by existing Investors and the amount of any future distributions payable to such existing Investors.


8



Reliance on the Manager and its personnel.

The successful operation of the Company (and therefore, the success of the Interests) is in part dependent on the ability of the Manager (including in its capacity as the Asset Manager) to source, acquire and manage the underlying assets. As the Manager has only been in existence since April 2016 and is an early-stage startup company, it has no significant operating history within the automobile sector, which evidences its ability to source, acquire, manage and utilize the underlying assets.

The success of the Company (and therefore, the Interests) will be highly dependent on the expertise and performance of the Manager and its team, its expert network and other investment professionals (which include third party experts) to source, acquire and manage the underlying assets. There can be no assurance that these individuals will continue to be associated with the Manager or the Asset Manager. The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on the underlying assets, in particular, their ongoing management and use to support the investment of the Interest Holders.

Furthermore, the success of the Company and the value of the Interests is dependent on there being critical mass from the market for the Interests and also the Company being able to acquire a number of underlying assets in multiple series of interests so that the Investors can benefit from economies of scale which arise from holding more than one underlying asset (e.g., a reduction in transport costs if a large number of underlying assets are transported at the same time). In the event that the Company is unable to source additional underlying assets due to, for example, competition for such underlying assets or lack of underlying assets available in the marketplace, then this could materially impact the success of the Company and its objectives of acquiring additional underlying assets through the issuance of further series of interests and monetizing them together with the Series Boss Mustang at the Membership Experience Programs to generate distributions for Investors.

Liability of investors between series of interests.

The Company is structured as a Delaware series limited liability company that issues different series of interests for each underlying asset. Each series of interest, including the Series #69BM1 Interest, will merely be a separate series and not a separate legal entity. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”), if certain conditions (as set forth in Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act) are met, the liability of investors holding one series of interests is segregated from the liability of investors holding another series of interests and the assets of one series of interests are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other series of interests.  Although this limitation of liability is recognized by the courts of Delaware, there is no guarantee that if challenged in the courts of another U.S. State or a foreign jurisdiction, such courts will uphold a similar interpretation of Delaware corporation law, and in the past certain jurisdictions have not honored such interpretation. If the Company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then Investors may have to share any liabilities of the Company with all investors and not just those who hold the same series of interests as them. Furthermore, while we intend to maintain separate and distinct records for each series of interests and account for them separately and otherwise meet the requirements of the LLC Act, it is possible a court could conclude that the methods used did not satisfy Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act and thus potentially expose the assets of Series #69BM1 to the liabilities of another series of interests.  The consequence of this is that Investors may have to bear higher than anticipated expenses which would adversely affect the value of their Interests or the likelihood of any distributions being made by the Series to the Investors. In addition, we are not aware of any court case that has tested the limitations on inter-series liability provided by Section 18-215(b) in federal bankruptcy courts and it is possible that a bankruptcy court could determine that the assets of one series of interests should be applied to meet the liabilities of the other series of interests or the liabilities of the Company generally where the assets of such other series of interests or of the Company generally are insufficient to meet our liabilities.

If any fees, costs and expenses of the Company are not allocable to a specific series of interests, they will be borne proportionately across all of the series of interests.  Although the Manager will allocate fees, costs and expenses acting reasonably and in accordance with its allocation policy (see “Description of the Business – Allocations of Expenses” section), there may be situations where it is difficult to allocate fees, costs and expenses to a specific series of interests and therefore, there is a risk that a series of interests may bear a proportion of the fees, costs and expenses for a service or product for which another series of interests received a disproportionately high benefit.

Potential breach of the security measures of the Rally Rd.™ Platform.


9



The highly automated nature of the Rally Rd.™ Platform through which potential investors acquire or transfer interests may make it an attractive target and potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions. The Rally Rd.™ Platform processes certain confidential information about investors, the Automobile Sellers and the underlying assets. While we intend to take commercially reasonable measures to protect our confidential information and maintain appropriate cybersecurity, the security measures of the Rally Rd.™ Platform, the Company, the Manager or the Company’s service providers (including Cuttone) could be breached. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to the Rally Rd.™ Platform could cause confidential information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes or have other harmful effects. Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose the Company to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity, or loss of the proprietary nature of the Manager’s and the Company’s trade secrets. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in the Rally Rd.™ Platform software are exposed and exploited, the relationships between the Company, investors, users and the Automobile Sellers could be severely damaged, and the Company or the Manager could incur significant liability or have their attention significantly diverted from utilization of the underlying assets, which could have a material negative impact on the value of interests or the potential for distributions to be made on the interests.

Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, the Company, the third party hosting used by the Rally Rd.™ Platform and other third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, federal regulators and many federal and state laws and regulations require companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause investors, the Automobile Sellers or service providers within the industry, including insurance companies, to lose confidence in the effectiveness of the secure nature of the Rally Rd.™ Platform. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm the reputation of the Company and the Rally Rd.™ Platform and the Company could lose investors and the Automobile Sellers. This would impair the ability of the Company to achieve its objectives of acquiring additional underlying assets through the issuance of further series of interests and monetizing them together with the Series Boss Mustang at the Membership Experience Programs.

Use of broker to facilitate liquidity

The Manager may arrange for some of the Interests it holds in a specific series of interests to be sold by a broker pursuant to a “10b5-1 trading plan”. There is a risk that this may result in too many interests being available for resale and the price of the relevant series of interests decreasing as supply outweighs demand.

Risks relating to the Offering

We are offering our Interests pursuant to recent amendments to Regulation A promulgated pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to Tier 2 issuers will make our Interests less attractive to investors as compared to a traditional initial public offering.

As a Tier 2 issuer, we will be subject to scaled disclosure and reporting requirements which may make an investment in our Interests less attractive to investors who are accustomed to enhanced disclosure and more frequent financial reporting. In addition, given the relative lack of regulatory precedence regarding the recent amendments to Regulation A, there is a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty in regards to how the Commission or the individual state securities regulators will regulate both the offer and sale of our securities, as well as any ongoing compliance that we may be subject to. If our scaled disclosure and reporting requirements, or regulatory uncertainty regarding Regulation A, reduces the attractiveness of the Interests, we may be unable to raise the funds necessary to fund future offerings, which could impair our ability to develop a diversified portfolio of collectible automobiles and create economies of scale, which may adversely affect the value of the Interests or the ability to make distributions to Investors.

There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements, and if we are unable to adequately evaluate internal controls, we may be subject to sanctions.


10



As a Tier 2 issuer, we will not need to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and we will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as we are a Tier 2 issuer. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations.

Impact of non-compliance with regulations.

The Series of Interests is being sold by Cuttone, which is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and will be registered in each state where the Offering and sale of the Series of Interest will occur prior to the launch of the Offering. If a regulatory authority determines that the Manager, who is not a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act or any state securities laws, has itself engaged in brokerage activities, the Manager may need to stop operating and therefore, the Company will not have an entity managing the Underlying Asset. In addition, if the Manager is required to register as a ‘broker-dealer’, there is a risk that any series of interests offered and sold while the Manager was not registered may be subject to a right of rescission, which may result in the early termination of the Series of Interests.

Furthermore, the Company is not registered and will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the Manager is not registered and will not be registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”) and the Series #69BM1 Interests does not have the benefit of the protections of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act.  The Company and the Manager have taken the position that the underlying assets are not “securities” within the meaning of the of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act, and thus the Company’s assets will comprise of less than 40% investment securities under the Investment Company Act and the Manager is not advising with respect to securities under the Investment Advisers Act.  This position, however, is based upon applicable case law that is inherently subject to judgments and interpretation.  If the Company were to be required to register under the Investment Company Act or the Manager were to be required to register under the Investment Advisers Act, it could have a material and adverse impact on the results of operations and expenses of Series #69BM1 or any other series of interests and the Manager may be forced to liquidate and wind up Series #69BM1 or rescind the Offering of the Series #69BM1 Interests or the offering for any other series of interests.

Possible Changes in Federal Tax Laws.

The Code is subject to change by Congress, and interpretations of the Code may be modified or affected by judicial decisions, by the Treasury Department through changes in regulations and by the Internal Revenue Service through its audit policy, announcements, and published and private rulings. Although significant changes to the tax laws historically have been given prospective application, no assurance can be given that any changes made in the tax law affecting an investment in any series of interest of the Company would be limited to prospective effect. Accordingly, the ultimate effect on an Investor’s tax situation may be governed by laws, regulations or interpretations of laws or regulations which have not yet been proposed, passed or made, as the case may be.

Risks specific to the collectible automobile industry

Potential negative changes within the collectible automobile industry.

The collectible automobile industry is subject to various risks, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, changes in tax rates, consumer confidence and brand exposure, as well as risks associated with the automobile industry in general, including, but not limited to, economic downturns and volatile fuel prices as well as availability of desirable underlying assets. Changes in the collectible automobile industry could have a material and adverse effect upon the Company’s ability to achieve its investment objectives by acquiring additional underlying assets through the issuance of further series of interests and monetizing them together with the Series Boss Mustang at the Membership Experience Programs to generate distributions for Investors.

Lack of Diversification.


11



It is not anticipated that Series #69BM1 would own any assets other than the Series Boss Mustang, plus potential cash reserves for maintenance, storage, insurance and other expenses pertaining to the Series Boss Mustang and amounts earned by Series #69BM1 from the monetization of the Series Boss Mustang. Investors looking for diversification will have to create their own diversified portfolio by investing in other opportunities in addition to the Series #69BM1.

Industry concentration and general downturn in industry.

Given the concentrated nature of the underlying assets (i.e., only collectible automobiles) any downturn in the collectible automobiles industry is likely to impact the value of the underlying assets, and consequently the value of the Interests. Furthermore, as collectable automobiles are a collectible item, the value of such collectable automobiles may be impacted if an economic downturn occurs and there is less disposable income for individuals to invest in products such as collectable automobiles. In the event of a downturn in the industry, the value of the underlying assets is likely to decrease.

Volatile demand for collectible goods, including collectible automobiles.

Volatility of demand for luxury goods as evidenced by the S&P Global Luxury index, in particular high value collectible automobiles, may adversely affect a series of interests’ ability to achieve its investment purpose. The collectible automobile market has been subject to volatility in demand in recent periods, particularly around certain categories of assets and investor tastes (ex. American muscle cars). Demand for high value collectible automobiles depends to a large extent on general, economic, political and social conditions in a given market as well as the tastes of the collectible automobile and enthusiast community resulting in changes of which automobile brands and models are most sought after. Demand for collectible automobiles may also be affected by factors directly impacting automobile prices or the cost of purchasing and operating automobiles, such as the availability and cost of financing, prices of parts and components, insurance, storage, transport, fuel costs and governmental regulations, including tariffs, import regulation and other taxes, including taxes on collectible goods, resulting in limitations to the use of collectible automobiles or collectible goods more generally. Volatility in demand may lead to volatility in the value of collectible automobiles, which may result in further downward price pressure and adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve its objective of acquiring additional underlying assets through the issuance of further series of interests and monetizing them together with the Series Boss Mustang at the Membership Experience Programs to generate distributions for Investors. In addition, the lack of demand may reduce any further issuance of series of interests and acquisition of more underlying assets, thus limiting the benefits the Investors already holding series of interests could receive from there being economies of scale (e.g., cheaper insurance due to a number of underlying assets requiring insurance) and other monetization opportunities (e.g., hosting car shows with the collection of underlying assets). These effects may have a more pronounced impact given the limited number of underlying assets held by the Company in the short-term.

Difficulties in determining the value of the underlying assets.

As explained in the “Description of the Business” section, collectible automobiles are difficult to value and it is hoped the Rally Rd.™ Platform will create a market by which the Interests (and, indirectly, the underlying assets) may be more accurately valued due to the creation of a larger market for collectible automobiles than exists from current means. Until the Rally Rd.™ Platform has created such a market, valuations of the underlying assets will be based upon the subjective approach taken by the members of the Manager’s expert network and members of the Advisory Board, valuation experts appointed by the Automobile Seller or other data provided by third parties (e.g., auction results, accident records and previous sales history). The Manager sources data from reputable valuation providers in the industry, including but not limited to the Hagerty Group (“Hagerty”), Kidston, HAGI, NADA, HI-BID and others; however, it may rely on the accuracy of the underlying data without any means of detailed verification.  Consequently, valuations may be uncertain.

The value of the underlying assets and, consequently, the value of an Investor’s Interests can go down as well as up. Valuations are not guarantees of realizable price, do not necessarily represent the price at which the Interests may be sold on the Rally Rd.™ Platform and the value of the underlying assets may be materially affected by a number of factors outside the control of the Company, including, any volatility in the economic markets, the condition of the underlying assets and physical matters arising from the state of their repair and condition.


12



Risks relating to the Underlying Asset

Potential loss of or damage to the Underlying Asset.

The Underlying Asset may be lost or damaged by causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control when in storage or on display. There is also a possibility that the Underlying Asset could be lost or damaged at Membership Experience Programs. Any damage to the Underlying Asset or other liability incurred as a result of participation in these programs, including personal injury to participants, could adversely impact the value of the Underlying Asset or adversely increase the liabilities or Operating Expenses of its related Series of Interests.  Further, when the Underlying Asset has been purchased, it will be necessary to transport it to the Manager’s preferred storage location or as required to participate in Membership Experience Programs. The Underlying Asset may be lost or damaged in transit, and transportation, insurance or other expenses may be higher than anticipated due to the locations of particular events. Although we intend for the Underlying Asset to be insured at replacement cost (subject to policy terms and conditions), in the event of any claims against such insurance policies, there can be no guarantee that any losses or costs will be reimbursed, that the Underlying Asset can be replaced on a like-for-like basis or that any insurance proceeds would be sufficient to pay the full market value  (after paying for any outstanding liabilities including, but not limited to any outstanding balances under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations), if any, of the Interests.  In the event that damage is caused to the Underlying Asset, this will impact the value of the Underlying Asset, and consequently, the Interests related to the Underlying Asset, as well as the likelihood of any distributions being made by the Company to the Investors.

In addition, at a future date, the Manager may decide to expand the Membership Experience Programs to include models where individual investors may be able to become the caretaker of underlying assets including potentially the Series Boss Mustang, for a certain period of time for an appropriate fee, assuming that the Manager believes that such models are expected to result in higher overall financial returns for all investors in the underlying assets used in such models. The feasibility from an insurance, safety, technological and financial perspective of such models has not yet been analyzed, but may significantly increase the risk profile and the chance for loss of or damage to the Underlying Asset if utilized in such models.

Competition in the collectible automobile industry from other business models.

There is potentially significant competition for the underlying assets from many different market participants. While the majority of transactions continue to be peer-to-peer with very limited public information, other market players such as collectible automobile dealers and auction houses continue to play an increasing role. In addition, the underlying market is being driven by the increasing number of widely popular collectible automobile TV shows, including Jay Leno’s Garage, Wayne Carini’s Chasing Classic Cars and Mike Brewer’s and Edward China’s Wheeler Dealers. This competition may impact the liquidity of the Interests, as it is dependent on the Company acquiring attractive and desirable underlying assets to ensure that there is an appetite of potential investors for the Interests. In addition, there are companies that are developing crowd funding models for other alternative asset classes such as art or wine, who may decide to enter the collectible automobile market as well.

Potentially high storage, maintenance and insurance costs for the underlying assets.

In order to protect and care for the underlying assets, the Manager must ensure adequate storage facilities, maintenance work and insurance coverage. The cost of care may vary from year to year depending on the amount of maintenance performed on a particular underlying asset, changes in the insurance rates for covering the underlying assets and changes in the cost of storage for the underlying assets.  It is anticipated that as the Company acquires more underlying assets, the Manager may be able to negotiate a discount on the costs of storage, maintenance and insurance due to economies of scale. These reductions are dependent on the Company acquiring a number of underlying assets and service providers being willing to negotiate volume discounts and, therefore, are not guaranteed.

If costs turn out to be higher than expected, this would impact the value of the Interests related to the Underlying Asset, the amount of distributions made to Investors holding the Interests, on potential proceeds from a sale of the Underlying Asset (if ever), and any capital proceeds returned to Investors after paying for any outstanding liabilities, including, but not limited to any outstanding balances under Operating Expenses Reimbursement


13



Obligation. See “Lack of distributions and return of capital” section also for further details of the impact of these costs on returns to Investors.

Refurbishment and inability to source original parts.

Although the Company does not intend to undertake refurbishment of the Series Boss Mustang, there may be situations in the future that it is required to do so (e.g., due to natural wear and tear and through the use of such Series Boss Mustang at Membership Experience Programs). Where it does so, it will be dependent on the performance of third party contractors and sub-contractors and may be exposed to the risks that a project will not be completed within budget, within the agreed timeframe or to the agreed specifications. While the Company will seek to mitigate its exposure by negotiating appropriate contracts, including appropriate warranty protection, any failure on the part of a contractor to perform its obligations could adversely impact the value of the Underlying Asset and therefore, the value of the Interests related to the Underlying Asset.

In addition, the successful refurbishment of the collectible automobiles may be dependent on sourcing replacement original and authentic parts. Original parts for collectible automobiles are rare and in high demand and therefore, at risk of being imitated. There is no guarantee that any parts sourced for the Underlying Asset will be authentic (e.g., not a counterfeit). If such parts cannot be sourced or, those parts that are sourced are not authentic, the value of the Underlying Asset and therefore, the value of the Interests related to the Underlying Asset, may be materially adversely affected.  Furthermore, if the Underlying Asset is damaged, we may be unable to source original and authentic parts for the Underlying Asset, and the use of non-original and authentic parts may decrease the value of the Underlying Asset.

Insurance may not cover all losses.

Insurance of the Underlying Asset may not cover all losses. There are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war that may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. Inflation, environmental considerations and other factors, including terrorism or acts of war, also might make insurance proceeds insufficient to repair or replace an asset if it is damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds received might not be adequate to restore the Company’s economic position with respect to any affected underlying assets. Furthermore, the series of interests related to such affected underlying assets would bear the expense of the payment of any deductible.  Any uninsured loss could result in both loss of cash flow from and the value of the affected underlying assets and, consequently, the series of interests that relate to such underlying assets.

Third party liability.

The Series of Interests will assume all of the ownership risks attached to its Underlying Asset, including third party liability risks.  Therefore, the Series of Interests may be liable to a third party for any loss or damages incurred by it in connection with the Underlying Asset.  This would be a loss to the Company and therefore deductible from any income or capital proceeds payable in respect of such Series of Interests from the Underlying Asset, in turn adversely affecting the value of the Series of Interests to which the Underlying Asset relates and the likelihood of any distributions being made by the Company.

Dependence on the brand of the manufacturer of underlying assets.

The underlying assets will comprise of automobiles from a very wide variety of manufacturers, many of which are still in operation today. The demand for the underlying assets, and therefore, each series of interests, may be influenced by the general perception of the automobiles that manufacturers are producing today. In addition, the manufacturers’ business practices may result in the image and value of automobiles produced by certain manufacturers being damaged. This in turn may have a negative impact on the underlying assets made by such manufacturers and in particular, the value of the underlying assets and consequently, the value of the series of interests that relate to such underlying assets.

Dependence of an underlying asset on prior user or association.


14



The value of an underlying asset may be connected with its prior use by, or association with, a certain person or group or in connection with certain pop culture events or films. In the event that such person or group loses public affection, then this may adversely impact the value of the underlying asset and therefore, the series of interests that relate to such underlying asset.

Title or authenticity claims on an underlying asset.

There is no guarantee that an underlying asset will be free of any claims regarding title and authenticity (e.g., counterfeit or previously stolen collectible automobiles or parts), or that such claims may arise after acquisition of an underlying asset by a series of interests. The Company may not have complete ownership history or maintenance records for a underlying asset. In particular, the Company does not have the complete ownership history of the Series Boss Mustang from the original sale of the vehicle in 1969 to the purchase of the Series Boss Mustang by the Company in 2016. In the event of a title or authenticity claim against the Company, the Company may not have recourse against the Automobile Seller or the benefit of insurance and the value of the Underlying Asset and the Series of Interests that relate to the Underlying Asset, may be diminished.

Forced sale of the Underlying Asset.

The Company may be forced to sell the Underlying Asset (e.g., upon the bankruptcy of the Manager) and such a sale may occur at an inopportune time or at a lower value than when the Underlying Asset was first acquired or at a lower price than the aggregate of costs, fees and expenses used to purchase the Underlying Asset. In addition there may be liabilities related to the Underlying Asset, including, but not limited to Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations on the balance sheet of the Underlying Asset at the time of a forced sale, which would be paid off prior to Investors receiving any distributions from a sale. In such circumstances, the capital proceeds obtained for the Underlying Asset, and therefore, the return available to Investors of the Series of Interests which relate to the Underlying Asset, may be lower than could have been obtained if the Underlying Asset continued to be held by the Company and sold at a later date.

Lack of distributions and return of capital.

Each series of interests’ revenues are expected to be primarily derived from the use of its underlying asset in Membership Experience Programs including track-day events, “museum” style locations to visit assets and asset sponsorship models.  Membership Experience Programs have not been proven with respect to the Company and there can be no assurance that Membership Experience Programs will generate sufficient proceeds to cover fees, costs and expenses with respect to any series of interests.  In the event that the revenue in any given year does not cover the Operating Expenses of the underlying assets, the Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) provide a loan to the Company in the form of an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, on which the Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and/or (c) issue additional Interests in order to cover such additional amounts.

Any amount paid to the Manager in satisfaction of an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation would not be available to Investors as a distribution.  In the event additional interests are issued, investors holdings within such series of interests will be diluted or will receive a smaller portion of future revenues and the likelihood of investors in such series of interests receiving any distributions reduced. Furthermore, if a series of interests is dissolved, there is no guarantee that the proceeds from liquidation will be sufficient to repay the investors their initial investment or the market value, if any, of the interests at the time of liquidation.  See “Potentially high storage, maintenance and insurance costs for the underlying assets” for further details on the risks of escalating costs and expenses of the underlying assets.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Interests

Lack of voting rights.

The Manager has a unilateral ability to amend the Operating Agreement and the allocation policy in certain circumstances without the consent of the Investors and the Investors only have limited voting rights in respect of the


15



Series of Interests. Investors will therefore be subject to any amendments the Manager makes (if any) to the Operating Agreement and allocation policy and also any decision it takes in respect of the Company and the Series of Interests, which the Investors do not get a right to vote upon. Investors may not necessarily agree with such amendments or decisions and such amendments or decisions may not be in the best interests of all of the Investors as a whole but only a limited number.

Furthermore, the Manager can only be removed as manager of the Company and each series of interests in a very limited circumstance, following a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with the Company or a series of interests. Investors would therefore not be able to remove the Manager merely because they did not agree, for example, with how the Manager was operating an underlying asset.

The offering price for the Interests determined by us may not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria such as earnings, book value or assets that may be agreed to between purchasers and sellers in private transactions or that may prevail in the market if and when our Interests can be traded publicly.

The price of the Interests was derived as a result of our negotiations with Automobile Seller based upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, our future prospects and our capital structure, as well as certain expenses incurred in connection with the Offering and the acquisition of the Underlying Asset. These prices do not necessarily accurately reflect the actual value of the Interests or the price that may be realized upon disposition of the Interests.

If a market ever develops for the Interests, the market price and trading volume of our Interests may be volatile.

If a market develops for the Interests, the market price of the Interests could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including reasons unrelated to our performance, the Underlying Asset or the Series of Interests, such as reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions, or announcements by our competitors regarding their own performance, as well as general economic and industry conditions. For example, to the extent that other companies, whether large or small, within our industry experience declines in their share price, the value of Interests may decline as well.

In addition, fluctuations in operating results of a particular series of interest or the failure of operating results to meet the expectations of investors may negatively impact the price of our securities. Operating results may fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors that could negatively affect revenues or expenses in any particular reporting period, including vulnerability of our business to a general economic downturn; changes in the laws that affect our operations; competition; compensation related expenses; application of accounting standards; seasonality; and our ability to obtain and maintain all necessary government certifications or licenses to conduct our business.

Funds from purchasers accompanying subscriptions for the Interests will not accrue interest while in escrow prior to admission of the subscriber as an Investor in the Series of Interests, if it occurs, in respect of such subscriptions.

The funds paid by purchasers for the Interests will be held in a non-interest bearing escrow account until the admission of the subscriber as an Investor in the Series of Interests, if it occurs, in respect of the applicable subscriptions. Purchasers may not have the use of such funds or receive interest thereon pending the completion of the Offering. No subscriptions will be accepted and Interests sold unless valid subscriptions for the Offering are received and accepted prior to the termination of the Offering Period. If we terminate the Offering prior to accepting a subscriber’s subscription, escrowed funds will be returned, without interest or deduction, to the proposed Investor.

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

We have identified the following conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the Interests, in particular, in relation to the Company, the Manager and the underlying assets. The conflicts of interest described in this section should not be considered as an exhaustive list of the conflicts of interest that prospective Investors should consider before investing in the Interests.

Our Operating Agreement contains provisions that reduce or eliminate duties (including fiduciary duties) of the Manager.

Our Operating Agreement provides that the Manager, in exercising its rights in its capacity as the Manager, will be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and will have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting us or any of our investors and will not be subject to any different standards imposed by our operating agreement, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or under any other law, rule or regulation or in equity. These modifications of fiduciary duties are expressly permitted by Delaware law.

We do not have a conflicts of interest policy.

The Company, the Manager and their affiliates will try to balance the Company’s interests with their own.  However, to the extent that such parties take actions that are more favorable to other entities than the Company, these actions could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance and, consequently, on distributions to Investors and the value of the Interests.  The Company has not adopted, and does not intend to adopt in the future, either a conflicts of interest policy or a conflicts resolution policy.

Payments from the Company to the Manager, the Asset Manager and their respective employees or affiliates.

The Manager and the Asset Manager will engage with, on behalf of the Company, a number of brokers, dealers, Automobile Sellers, insurance companies, storage and maintenance providers and other service providers and thus may receive in-kind discounts, for example, free shipping or servicing.  In such circumstances, it is likely that these in-kind discounts may be retained for the benefit of the Manager or the Asset Manager and not the Company, or may apply disproportionately to other series of interests.  The Manager or the Asset Manager may be incentivized to choose a broker, dealer or Automobile Seller based on the benefits they are to receive or all series of interests collectively are to receive rather than that which is best for the Series of Interests.

Members of the expert network and the Advisory Board are often automobile dealers and brokers themselves and therefore will be incentivized to sell the Company their own collectible automobiles at potentially inflated market prices.

Members of the expert network and the Advisory Board may also be Investors, in particular, if they are holding Interests acquired as part of a sale of an underlying asset (i.e., as they were the Automobile Seller).  They may therefore promote their own self-interests when providing advice to the Manager or the Asset Manager regarding an underlying asset (e.g., by encouraging the liquidation of such underlying asset so they can receive a return in their capacity as an Investor).

In the event that the Operating Expenses exceed the revenue from the Underlying Asset and any cash reserves, the Manager has the option to cause the Series to incur an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation to cover such excess. As interest may be payable on such loan, the Manager may be incentivized to cause the Series to incur an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation to pay Operating Expenses rather than look elsewhere for additional sources of income or to repay any outstanding Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation as soon as possible rather than make distributions to Investors. The Manager may also choose to issue additional Interests to pay for Operating Expenses instead of causing the Company to incur an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, even if any interest payable by the Series of Interests on any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation may be economically more beneficial to Interest Holders than the dilution incurred from the issuance of additional Interests.


17



Potential future brokerage activity.

Either the Manager or one of its affiliates may in the future register with the Commission as a broker-dealer in order to be able to facilitate liquidity in the Interests via the Rally Rd.™ Platform. The Manager, or its affiliates, may be entitled to receive fees based on volume of trading and volatility of the Interests on the Rally Rd.™ Platform and such fees may be in excess of what the Asset Manager receives via the Management Fee or the appreciation in the interests it holds in each series of interests.  Although an increased volume of trading and volatility will benefit Investors as it will assist in creating a market for those wishing to transfer their Interests, there is the potential that there is a divergence of interests between the Manager and those Investors, for instance, if the Underlying Asset does not appreciate in value, this will impact the price of the Interests, but may not adversely affect the profitability related to the brokerage activities of the Manager (i.e., the Manager would collect brokerage fees whether the price of the Underlying Asset increases or decreases).

Ownership of multiple series of interests.

The Manager or its affiliates will acquire interests in each series of interests for their own accounts and may transfer these interests, either directly or through brokers, via the Rally Rd.™ Platform.  Depending on the timing of the transfers, this could impact the interests held by the Investors (e.g., driving price down because of supply and demand and over availability of interests).  This ownership in each of the series of interests may result in a divergence of interests between the Manager and the Investors who only hold one or certain series of interests (e.g., the Manager or its affiliates, once registered as a broker-dealer with the Commission, may disproportionately market or promote a certain series of interests, in particular, where they are a significant owner, so that there will be more demand and an increase in the price of such series of interests).

Allocations of income and expenses as between series of interests.

The Manager may appoint a service provider to service the entire fleet of collectible automobiles that comprise the underlying assets (e.g., for insurance, storage, maintenance or media material creation).  Although appointing one service provider may reduce cost due to economies of scale, such service provider may not necessarily be the most appropriate for the Underlying Asset (e.g., it may have more experience in servicing a certain make of car whereas, the fleet may comprise of a number of different makes).  In such circumstances, the Manager would be conflicted from acting in the best interests of the underlying assets as a whole or the individual Underlying Asset.

There may be situations when it is challenging or impossible to accurately allocate income, costs and expenses to a specific series of interests and certain series of interests may get a disproportionate percentage of the cost or income, as applicable. In such circumstances, the Manager would be conflicted from acting in the best interests of the Company as a whole or the individual Series of Interests.  While we presently intend to allocate expenses as described in “Description of the Business – Allocations of Expenses”, the Manager has the right to change this allocation policy at any time without further notice to Investors.

Conflicting interests of the Manager, the Asset Manager and the Investors.

The Manager and the Asset Manager may receive sponsorship from car servicing providers to assist with the servicing of certain underlying assets.  In the event that sponsorship is not obtained for the servicing of an underlying asset, the investors who hold interests connected to the underlying asset requiring servicing would bear the cost of the fees. The Manager or the Asset Manager may in these circumstances, decide to carry out a different standard of service on the underlying asset to preserve the expenses which arise to the investors and therefore, the amount of Management Fee the Asset Manager receives.  The Manager or the Asset Manager may also choose to use certain service providers because they get benefits from giving them business, which do not accrue to the Investors.

The Manager will determine whether or not to liquidate the Underlying Asset, should an offer to acquire the whole Underlying Asset be received. As the Manager or its affiliates, once registered as a broker-dealer with the Commission, will receive fees on the trading volume in the Interests connected with an underlying asset, they may be incentivized not to realize such underlying asset even though Investors may prefer to receive the gains from any appreciation in value of such underlying asset. Furthermore, when determining to liquidate an underlying asset, the


18



Manager will do so considering all of the circumstances at the time, this may include obtaining a price for an underlying asset that is in the best interests of a substantial majority but not all of the Investors.

The Manager may be incentivized to use more popular underlying assets at Membership Experience Programs as this may generate higher Free Cash Flow to be distributed to the Manager and investors in the series associated with that particular underlying asset.  This may lead the Series Boss Mustang to generate lower distributions than the underlying assets of other series of interests.  The use of collectible automobiles at the Membership Experience Programs could increase the risk of the collectible automobiles getting damaged and could impact the value of the underlying asset and, as a result, the value of the related series of interests.  The Manager may therefore be conflicted when determining whether to use the collectible automobiles at the Membership Experience Programs to generate revenue or limit the potential of damage being caused to them.  Furthermore, the Manager may be incentivized to utilize underlying assets that help popularize the interests via the Rally Rd.TM Platform, which means of utilization may not generate as much immediate returns as other potential utilization methods.

The Manager has the ability to unilaterally amend the Operating Agreement and allocation policy. As the Manager is party, or subject, to these documents, it may be incentivized to amend them in a manner that is beneficial to it as manager of the Company or the Series or may amend it in a way that is not beneficial for all Investors. In addition, the Operating Agreement seeks to limit the fiduciary duties that the Manager owes to its Investors. Therefore, the Manager is permitted to act in its own best interests rather than the best interests of the Investors.  See “Description of the Interests Offered” for more information.  

Fees for arranging events or monetization in addition to the Management Fee.

As the Manager will acquire a percentage of each series of interests, it may be incentivized to attempt to generate more earnings with those underlying assets owned by those series of interests in which it holds a greater stake.

Any profits generated from the Rally Rd.™ Platform (e.g., through advertising) and from issuing additional interest in underlying assets on the Rally Rd.™ Platform (e.g., Sourcing Fees) will be for the benefit of the Manager. In order to increase its revenue stream, the Manager may therefore be incentivized to issue additional series of interests and acquire more underlying assets rather than focus on monetizing any underlying assets already held by existing series of interests.

Conflicts between the Advisory Board and the Company.

The Operating Agreement of the Company provides that the resolution of any conflict of interest approved by the Advisory Board shall be deemed fair and reasonable to the Company and the Members and not a breach of any duty at law, in equity or otherwise.  As part of the remuneration package for Advisory Board members, they may receive an ownership stake in the Manager.  This may incentivize the Advisory Board members to make decisions in relation to the underlying assets that benefit the Manager rather than the Company.

As a number of the Advisory Board members are in the collectible automobile industry, they may seek to sell collectible automobiles to, acquire collectible automobiles from, or service collectible automobiles owed by, the Company.

Conflicts between the Legal Counsel, the Company and the RSE Parties.

The counsel of the Company is also counsel to the Manager and its affiliates (“Legal Counsel”), and may serve as counsel with respect to other series of interests (collectively, the “RSE Parties”).  Because Legal Counsel represents both the Company and the RSE Parties, certain conflicts of interest exist and may arise.  To the extent that an irreconcilable conflict develops between the Company and any of the RSE Parties, Legal Counsel may represent the RSE Parties and not the Company or the Series of Interests. Legal Counsel may, in the future, render services to the Company or the RSE Parties with respect to activities relating to the Company as well as other unrelated activities.  Legal Counsel is not representing any prospective Investors of the Series #69BM1 Interests in connection with this Offering and will not be representing the members of the Company other than the Manager, although the prospective


19



Investors may rely on the opinion of legality of Legal Counsel provided at Exhibit 12.1.  Prospective Investors are advised to consult their own independent counsel with respect to the other legal and tax implications of an investment in the Series #69BM1 Interests.


20



DILUTION

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the Interests the Investor owns.  There will be no dilution to any Investors associated with the Offering. However, from time to time, additional Series #69BM1 Interests may be issued in order to raise capital to cover the Series’ ongoing operating expenses. See “Description of the Business – Operating Expenses” for further details.

The Manager must acquire a minimum of 2% and may acquire a maximum of 10% of the Interests in connection with this Offering (of which the Manager may sell all or any portion from time to time following the Closing of the Offering).  The Manager will pay the price per share offered to all other potential Investors hereunder.

(1)  Consists of $5,000 down-payment by the Manager and a $97,395 loan made to the Company by an officer of the Manager. 

(2) Calculation of Brokerage Fee excludes proceeds from the sale of Interests to the Manager, its affiliates, or the Automobile Seller. 

(3) Solely in connection with the offering of the Series #69BM1 Interests, the Manager has assumed and will not be reimbursed for Offering Expenses.   

(4) To the extent that Acquisition Expenses are lower than anticipated, any overage would be maintained in an operating account for future Operating Expenses.   

 

The Company acquired the Series Boss Mustang from the Automobile Seller for a total cost of $102,395 (the “Asset Cost”) of which $97,395 was paid in cash by the Company through a loan from an officer of the Manager described below and $5,000 was paid in cash by the Manager as a down-payment at the time of purchase. “Automobile Seller(s)” means an individual(s), dealer or auction company, which owns an underlying asset prior to i) a purchase of an underlying asset by the Company in advance of a potential offering or ii) the closing of an offering from which proceeds are used to acquire the underlying asset. In the case of the Series Boss Mustang, the Automobile Seller is not an affiliate of the Company, the Manager or any of their respective officers or directors.

The Company obtained a loan on October 31, 2016, with an original principal amount of $97,395 from Christopher Bruno, one of the officers of the Manager, which accrues interest at a rate of 0.66% per annum, the Applicable Federal Rate at the time of the loan.  At December 31, 2016, $107 of interest had accrued on the loan and is expected to increase to ~$480 by the time of the Closing of the Offering, assuming a July 2017 close. Other key terms of the loan include (i) the requirement to repay the loan within 14 days of the Offering Closing and (ii) the ability for the Company to prepay the loan at any time. Full documentation of the loan is included in Exhibit 6.2 hereto.

Upon the Closing of the Offering, proceeds from the sale of the Interests will be distributed to the account of the Series. The Series will then pay back the loan made to acquire the Series Boss Mustang plus accrued interest and will reimburse the Manager for the down-payment (without any interest or fees). Upon payment of the loan (including all accrued interest), the Series Boss Mustang will be owned by the Series and not subject to any liens or encumbrances.


22



In addition to the costs of acquiring the Underlying Asset, proceeds from the Offering will be used to pay (i) an estimate $776 - $845 to the Broker (the Brokerage Fee) as consideration for providing certain broker-dealer services to the Company in connection with this Offering, (ii) $7,520 of Acquisition Expenses (including but not limited to the items described in the table above), $7,520 of which will be paid to the Manager and its affiliates, except as to the extent that Acquisition Expenses are lower than anticipated, any overage will be maintained in an operating account for future Operating Expenses, and (iii) $3,759 - $3,828 to the Manager as consideration for assisting in the sourcing of the Series Boss Mustang.  The ranges for Brokerage Fee and Sourcing Fee are calculated based on the Manager purchasing 2% to 10% of the Series #69BM1 Interest. See “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Fees and Expenses” for additional information.

The allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering set forth above represents our intentions based upon our current plans and assumptions regarding industry and general economic conditions, our future revenues and expenditures.  The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations, business developments, and related rate of growth. The Manager reserves the right to modify the use of proceeds based on the factors set forth above.  Neither the Company nor the Series are expected to keep any of the proceeds from the Offering.  In the event that less than the Maximum Series #69BM1 Interests are sold in connection with this Offering, the Manager may pay, and not seek reimbursement for, the Brokerage Fee, Offering Expenses and Acquisition Expenses and may waive the Sourcing Fee.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES BOSS MUSTANG

Summary Overview

· Upon completion of this Offering, the Series #69BM1 Interests will purchase a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (at times described as the Mustang Boss 302 or Boss 302 throughout this Offering Circular) as the Series #69BM1 Asset (the “Series Boss Mustang” or the “Underlying Asset”), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

· The Mustang Boss 302 represents Ford’s first factory effort at a Mustang that prioritized racetrack performance.  Created initially for SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) Trans-Am road racing series, the Boss 302 proved to be a well-received model that was widely reputed to be the best handling Mustang at the time. With bespoke mechanical components as well as low production numbers, the Boss 302 represents a unique and limited version of one of the most iconic cars ever made. 

· Only 1,627 Mustang Boss 302 models were produced for 1969, compared with total Mustang production of 299,036 vehicles in that same year. The Series Boss Mustang represents 1 of just 81 with its specific combination of Paint & Trim Codes. 

· We believe that the Mustang’s status as one of the best-selling and most recognizable cars of all time affords it a global and trans-generational appeal that is unique for its class and era. 

· Based on the pre-purchase inspection, we believe this example to be a MCA (Mustang Club of America) “Gold” quality restoration, on par with the quality and condition of the best-known examples of the 1969 Mustang Boss 302.  The vehicle is mechanically sound, has a desirable color and option combination, original matching-numbers drivetrain and cosmetic condition generally commensurate with how it would have rolled off the assembly line. 

 

Asset Description

Ownership and Pricing History

The Series Boss Mustang, a 1969 Mustang Boss 302, was originally sold by Jim Aikey Ford in Des Plaines, Illinois on 06/19/1969 for a recorded price of $3,624, or roughly $23,840 in 2017 dollars, discounted from the suggested retail price from Ford of $4,473 or roughly $29,427 in 2017 dollars.

Vehicle Maintenance and Restoration History

The Series Boss Mustang has undergone an extensive rotisserie restoration that we believe to be of high quality and originality.  During the restoration the car was completely disassembled, all rust issues were addressed and the paint was re-done to a high standard. The engine was rebuilt and other major mechanical components such as the suspension, brakes, and transmission were fully refurbished and/or rebuilt.

The pre-purchase assessment of the restoration validates it to be of high quality and originality.  Areas often overlooked during restorations were considered, with details as minor as a factory original antenna being sourced so it would be date correct to this vehicle.  All stampings and numbers match throughout the vehicle (other than certain body-panels that needed to be replaced due to rust). During the restoration, the bottom of the car was painted with the correct color primer for a Boss 302.  New boots were installed with the original front tie rods.  All new power steering hoses were installed.  Rear leaf springs with phosphate plated clamps and pads were installed.  New shocks were put on the vehicle, with new oil spring cups installed on top of the springs. The restoration, which can be viewed on the Rally Rd.™ Platform, includes many photos of the process, as well as the original sales order and a Marti report.

Design and Features Overview

Exterior: Following a thorough inspection, we believe the now famous Larry Shinoda designed bespoke Mustang Boss 302 bodywork to be in excellent condition, with all body panels showing alignment and fitment commensurate with when this Mustang first rolled of the assembly line (see “Specific Issues to Note” section for exceptions). We believe the paintwork quality to be excellent, displaying the factory original hue of Ford’s “Bright Yellow” with orange-peel and finish commensurate with factory original tolerances. We believe the exterior design


24



to be particularly notable due to the unique Boss 302 hood and side graphics as well as the Series Boss Mustang being optioned with the iconic “Sport Slats” which we believe to be central to the recognizability of the model as a “Boss.” We consider the glass and bright-work, all exterior rubber, and factory original “Magnum 500 Chrome Styled Steel Wheels” to be in excellent condition.  All exterior lamps and lenses are working properly.

After professional inspection/verification the following exterior details were noted:

· The fenders are original and dated to the vehicle.  The rear quarter panels have been replaced with factory correct parts. 

· All glass is factory original with date coding, including the front windshield, showing some light scratching from age. 

· The Series Boss Mustang has original Ford date coded bumpers. 

· Correct Goodyear F60-14 polyglas tires are presented on the vehicle. 

· All trim pieces are original Ford parts, including the grill emblem. 

· The vehicle is presented with the original General Electric Ford scripted headlamps. 

· Front spoiler is original and correct to a Boss 302. 

· Rear wing is the correct 2-piece 1969 specific Boss 302 style. 

· Rear sport slats are original and restored with new gaskets and attaching hardware. 

Interior: The black interior shows as new with minimal wear evident following an extensive restoration.  All gauges, switches, interior electronics (including radio) are in working condition.  We believe the overall interior can be described as excellent, with fit and finish commensurate with factory quality and fitment.  We believe the Series Boss Mustang to be particularly notable due to the optional “Interior Décor Group-Deluxe” and optional Tachometer, which puts the overall rarity of the Series Boss Mustang above that of a typical Boss 302.  We believe the wood trim accents the interior beautifully and increases the desirability of the Series Boss Mustang.

After professional inspection/verification the following interior details were noted:

· New carpet and seat vinyl were installed in the vehicle 

· New headliner and door panels were installed in the vehicle 

· Factory correct original steering wheel is shown in unrestored condition 

· New dashboard and radio speaker were installed 

· Restored factory original rally clock 

· Working original tachometer 

· Dash cluster and clock show all new clear plastic bezels 

· Original working C9ZA factory radio 

· Rare deluxe NOS shifter ball 

Engine Overview

Central to the Mustang Boss 302’s Trans-Am racing endeavors was the bespoke 302 Cubic Inch V8 Engine, often referred to as a “Cleveland” due to its unique construction comprising cylinder heads that were originally designed for a Ford 351 cubic inch engine put into a Ford Windsor engine small block. The heads of the Boss 302 engine were arranged in a canted-valve staggered style in order to allow for the extra room needed for this unique configuration.  The heads were also notable as they allowed increased airflow due to their large port volumes, thus allowing the Boss 302 to make impressive power.  The pistons of the engine were forged to allow for a high 10.5:1 compression ratio.  Thanks to the engine’s solid lifter configuration, Boss 302 has a unique auditory character.  This iconic engine produced 290 HP @5800 RPM and 290 lb-ft of torque @4300 RPM, numbers that were well known to be conservative from the factory. We believe the Boss 302 Engine to be among the most iconic American V8 engines produced, featuring a soundtrack and performance (even by modern standards) that we believe supports a large fan base for this vehicle.  The transmission on this vehicle is a close ratio 4-speed manual transmission.


25



We have tested the engine and it starts with immediacy and idles correctly, showing in proper operating condition following its rebuild.  The clutch operates progressively.  Overall, we believe the engine and drivetrain to be in excellent mechanical condition.

Market Assessment

We believe the Mustang Boss 302 to be a particularly stable asset.  We believe rare classic Mustangs like the Boss 302 to have a special place in collector car and popular culture, with the iconic status necessary to supersede typical generational preferences.  Given the incredible production numbers of classic Mustangs (well over 2,000,000 were produced from its introduction in 1964 to the 1969 model year), we believe the rarity of the Boss 302 variant to be of particular notability in conjunction with what we believe to be a lack of volatility and appreciative potential.  Furthermore, we believe the Series Boss Mustang to be a particularly good Boss 302 due to what we consider its generally excellent condition and what we believe to be favorable factory configured options.  We believe the 1969 model year to represent a more unique investment over the 1970 model year as production numbers for the 1970 Mustang Boss 302 were 7,013 vehicles, compared with only 1,627 for 1969.

We believe Mustang Boss 302 values have potential to continue to appreciate going forward. We believe the Mustang Boss 302 has been relatively overshadowed in the marketplace by the larger engine Boss 429 and that inflation of Boss 429 prices is going to lead many more investors to endeavor to secure quality restored examples of Boss 302 Mustangs as their current prices are more accessible.  We believe Mustangs of this era to be of relative little expense to maintain with great parts availability and expertise.  We believe that the Mustang is a particularly recognizable facet of American culture, with iconic appearances in films such as Bullet and Gone in 60 Seconds and John Wick.

Model History and Engineering

The Ford Mustang represents one of the all-time great sales successes in automotive history.  Lee Iacocca is famed with taking a relatively pedestrian Ford Falcon chassis and putting a beautiful, bespoke body on it in an effort to boost sales.  The Mustang represented an unprecedented array of configurability in the marketplace, ranging from an entry-level 6-cylinder coupe to a V8 Fastback, with convertible variants also available.  It was also unique for having so many options on a car of a relatively low starting price, meaning one could customize a Mustang to one’s specific needs, with things like the Pony Pack interior and air conditioning being available on the entry level 6 cylinder coup allowing for both luxurious base variants and stripped out V8 performance cars, combinations that were previously very rare in the marketplace.  So many baby boomers purchased the Mustang that it quickly became one of the fastest selling cars of all time, with over a million sold by the 1966 model year.

As wonderful as the Mustang was to look at, it was rather less enjoyable to drive.  Even the V8 models didn’t handle particularly well, and it was hard for the car to hide its pedestrian underpinnings.  While it didn’t hurt sales, Ford was pushed by enthusiasts to update the Mustang and create more bespoke racing oriented models, starting with factory backed Shelby specials like the GT350 and GT500.

By 1969 the market was crowded with other competitors. Ford was by then racing in the Trans-Am series but had gotten beaten for the 1968 racing year by the Chevrolet’s new Camaro.  Ford needed a response, and decided to take the new for 1969 body style Mustang and create something special.  Recently hired Ford president Bunkie Knudsen had come from GM and was well versed in the success of offering special racing versions of vehicles for sale to the public.  He commissioned the development of a special Mustang, which was needed in order to meet homologation requirements for the Trans-Am series.  Larry Shinoda was put in charge of the project—when asked what he was working on, given that the vehicle was a secret, he simply said “the boss’ car” and it is thus that the famous variant came to be known as the “Boss” series of Mustangs, though some say it was also in reference to the period vernacular of “boss” meaning something that was “awesome,” or looked great.

Shinoda knew the Boss had to be the best handling car in its class and nearly every aspect of the vehicle was altered to create the 302.  Given that the Mustang rode on a live rear axle and leaf spring suspension, far from state of the art, this presented quite the engineering challenge.  Ride and handling engineer Matt Donner had the herculean task of modifying springs, adding shock tower bracing, giving the car beefier spindles, purpose-tuned shock absorbers, special anti-roll bars, and aggressive tires and tuning all of these components to be competitive on a racetrack.

The famous visuals of the car include deleting the non-functional roof scoops from the regular 1969 Mustang as well as deleting the “running horse” chrome medallions on the rear sail panels.  Exaggerated C-shaped stripes were chosen, inspired by Ford’s Le Mans winning 1967 Mk IV racer.  Adding some satin black trim and the famous rear slats created what we now know to be one of the most iconic muscle car looks of the era, offset by the likewise famous Magnum 500 spoke wheels.

The Boss 302 went on to win 4 Trans-Am races in 1969, the 302 Cubic inch, high compression, bespoke engine being as important on the track as the handling in creating the first factory Ford Mustang that was credited with good overall track manners.  Off the track, the Boss 302 proved popular in showrooms with Ford producing more Boss 302 Mustangs than the required 1,000 for racing homologation.  To this day the legend continues with the famous graphics and noise of the “Cleveland” head V8 making the Boss 302 such an everlasting American icon.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Since its formation in August 2016, the Company has been engaged primarily in acquiring a collection of investment grade collectible automobiles, with loans from officers of the Manager, and developing the financial, offering and other materials to begin fundraising.  We are considered to be a development stage company, since we are devoting substantially all of our efforts to establishing our business and planned principal operations have only recently commenced. We completed an initial offering of interests in Series #77LE1 in April 2017 and are in the process of launching subsequent offerings for other series.

During the period beginning on the date of formation on August 24, 2016 through December 31, 2016, officers of the Manager have loaned the Company a total of $286,471 (excluding accrued interest) in connection with the acquisition of three assets, including a loan in the original principal amount of $97,395 made to the Company to finance the acquisition of the Series Boss Mustang for the benefit of the Series.  See “Note C – Related Party Transactions of the Notes to Financial Statements and Exhibit 6.2” for more information regarding the loans from officers of the Manager.

Operating Results

Revenues are generated at the series level. As of December 31, 2016 no series of the Company has generated any revenues.  Series #77LE1 is not expected to generate any revenues until late in 2017 or 2018.  We do not expect Series #69BM1 to generate any revenues until 2018.

The Company incurred $1,427 in operating expenses in the 2016 fiscal year related to storage and insurance of the assets we acquired through the loans from officers of the Manager. The Operating Expenses incurred pre-Closing related to the Underlying Asset are being paid by the Manager and will not be reimbursed by the Series. Each series of the Company will be responsible for its own Operating Expenses, such as storage, insurance or maintenance beginning on the closing date of the offering of such series. As of April 13, 2017, at the close of the offering for Series #77LE1, Series #77LE1 became responsible for Operating Expenses and has incurred $203 in storage and insurance expenses through April 31, 2017.

Interest expense related to the loans made to the Company by officers of the Manager for the benefit of Series #77LE1 and Series #69BM1 totaled $304 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. See “Note C – Related Party Transactions of the Notes to Financial Statements” for more information regarding the loans from officers of the Manager.

As a result, the Company’s net loss for the 2016 fiscal year was $1,731.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016, none of the Company or any series of interests in the Company had any cash or cash equivalents and, other than loans made to the Company by officers of the Manager, the Company had no financial obligations. Each series will repay the loan plus accrued interest used to acquire its underlying asset with proceeds generated from the closing of the offering of such series.  No series will have any obligation to repay a loan incurred by the Company to purchase an underlying asset for another series.

Plan of Operations

On April 13, 2017 we successfully closed the first offering for Series #77LE1. At the close of this Offering, the Manager received a Sourcing Fee of $3,691 and Series #77LE1 repaid the loan made to the Company by the officer of the Manager to purchase its underlying asset and has thus become the owner of the Series #77LE1 Asset.

The Company plans to launch approximately 15 to 20 additional offerings in the next twelve months.  The proceeds from any offerings closed during the next twelve months will be used to acquire additional investment grade


29



collectible automobiles, which we anticipate will enable the Company to reduce Operating Expenses for each series as we negotiate better contracts for storage, insurance and other operating expenses with a larger collection of assets.

We also intend to develop Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”), allowing investors to enjoy the collection of automobiles acquired by the Company through events, museums and other programs, which we anticipate will enable the Underlying Asset to generate revenues for the Series to cover, in whole or in part, the ongoing post-Closing Operating Expenses.  

We do not anticipate generating enough revenues in fiscal year 2017 from Membership Experience Programs to cover any of the Operating Expenses for Series #77LE1, Series #69BM1 or any other series of interests closed in fiscal year 2017.  See “Description of the Business – Operating Expenses” for additional information regarding the payment of Operating Expenses.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURE

Plan of distribution

We are managed by RSE Markets, Inc. (“RSE Markets” or the “Manager”), a Delaware corporation incorporated in 2016. RSE Markets owns and operates a mobile app-based investment platform called Rally Rd.™ (the Rally Rd.™ platform and any successor platform used by the Company for the offer and sale of interests, the “Rally Rd.™ Platform”), through which investors may indirectly invest, through a series of the Company’s interests, in collectible automobile opportunities that have been historically difficult to access for many market participants. Through the use of the Rally Rd.™ Platform, investors can browse and screen the potential investments and sign legal documents electronically. We intend to distribute the Interests exclusively through the Rally Rd.™ Platform.  Neither RSE Markets, Inc. nor any other affiliated entity involved in the offer and sale of the Interests is a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, and no person associated with us will be deemed to be a broker solely by reason of his or her participation in the sale of the Interests.

This Offering of Series #69BM1 Interests is being conducted under Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and therefore, only offered and sold to “qualified purchasers.”  For further details on the suitability requirements an Investor must meet in order to participate in this Offering, see “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Investor Suitability Standards”. As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, this offering will be exempt from state law “Blue Sky” review, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain antifraud provisions, to the extent that our Interests are offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” or at a time when our Interests are listed on a national securities exchange.

The initial offering price of $57.50 per Series #69BM1 Interest (the “Purchase Price”) was determined by the Manager and is equal to the aggregate of (i) the purchase price of the Series Boss Mustang, (ii) the Brokerage Fee, (iii) Offering Expenses, (iv) the Acquisition Expenses, and (v) the Sourcing Fee (in each case as described below). The Closing of the Offering of the Series #69BM1 Interests will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the Maximum #69BM1 Interests have been accepted or (ii) a date determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, provided that subscriptions for the Minimum Series #69BM1 Interests have been accepted.  If Closing has not occurred, the Offering shall be terminated upon (i) the date which is one year from the date this Offering Circular is qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) which period may be extended by an additional six months by the Manager in its sole discretion, or (ii) any date on which the Manager elects to terminate the offering in its sole discretion.  The Series #69BM1 Interests are being offered by subscription only in the U.S. and to residents of those states in which the offer and sale is not prohibited.  This Offering Circular does not constitute an offer or sale of Series #69BM1 Interests outside of the U.S.

Those persons who want to invest in the Interests must sign a Subscription Agreement, which will contain representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions customary for private placement investments in limited liability companies, see “How to Subscribe” below for further details.  A copy of the form of Subscription Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.1.

The Series #69BM1 Interests will be issued in book-entry form without certificates.

The Manager, and not the Company, will pay all of the expenses incurred in this Offering that are not covered by the Brokerage Fee, the Sourcing Fee, Offering Expenses or Acquisition Expenses, including fees to legal counsel, but excluding fees for counsel or other advisors to the Investors and fees associate with the filing of periodic reports with the Commission and future blue sky filings with state securities departments, as applicable.  Any Investor desiring to engage separate legal counsel or other professional advisors in connection with this Offering will be responsible for the fees and costs of such separate representation.

Investor Suitability Standards

The Series #69BM1 Interests are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in any of the interests of the Company (in


31



connection with this Series or any other 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). We reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

For an individual potential investor to be an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who has:

1. an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person and the mortgage on that primary residence (to the extent not underwater), but including the amount of debt that exceeds the value of that residence and including any increase in debt on that residence within the prior 60 days, other than as a result of the acquisition of that primary residence; or 

2. earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year. 

If the investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details. For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles.

The Interests will not be offered or sold to prospective Investors subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and regulations thereunder, as amended (“ERISA”).

If you live outside the United States, it is your responsibility to fully observe the laws of any relevant territory or jurisdiction outside the United States in connection with any purchase, including obtaining required governmental or other consent and observing any other required legal or other formalities.

Our Manager and Cuttone, in its capacity as broker of record for this Offering, will be permitted to make a determination that the subscribers of Interests in this offering are qualified purchasers in reliance on the information and representations provided by the subscriber regarding the subscriber’s financial situation. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable federal thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A.  For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

An investment in our Interests may involve significant risks.  Only investors who can bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time and the loss of their entire investment should invest in the Interests.  See “Risk Factors.”

Minimum and Maximum Investment

The minimum subscription by an Investor in this Offering is one (1) Interest and the maximum subscription by any Investor in this Offering is for Interests representing 10% of the total Interests of the Series.  

Broker

Cuttone & Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Cuttone” or “Broker”) will manage the sale of the Interests as an executing broker pursuant to a master services agreement, dated April 18, 2017 (the “Brokerage Agreement”) and serve as broker of record for the Company’s Regulation A offerings, process transactions by subscribers to the Offering and provide investor qualification services (e.g. Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering checks).  Cuttone is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of the FINRA and the


32



SIPC and will be registered in each state where the Offering and sale of the Series of Interest will occur, prior to the launch of the Offering, but will not act as a finder or underwriter in connection with this Offering.  Cuttone will receive a Brokerage Fee but will not purchase any Interests and, therefore, will not be eligible to receive any discounts, commissions or any underwriting or finder’s fees in connection with the Offering.

The amount recoverable under any claim by the Manager against the Broker is limited to the aggregate of Brokerage Fees actually paid by the Manager to the Broker under the Brokerage Agreement during the twelve months prior to the claim arising.  The Manager and the Company will indemnify Cuttone, its licensors, service providers, registered representatives, network members (i.e., representatives of Cuttone that have demonstrated interest in introducing potential investors in an offering) and their respective affiliates, managers, agents and employees against any losses which are incurred in connection with providing the services under the Brokerage Agreement other than losses which arise out of the indemnified party’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of the Brokerage Agreement.

The Brokerage Agreement terminates on April 18, 2018 (unless extended by the mutual agreement of the parties) or if earlier, (i) upon the mutual agreement of the parties, (ii) by a non-breaching party for the other party’s material breach of the Brokerage Agreement (a) upon ten days’ notice, if the breach is curable and remains uncured at the end of the notice period, or (b) immediately upon written notice if the breach is not curable, (iii) by either party as required by applicable law, (iv) by one party if the other party is insolvent or fails to pay its obligations as they arise, (v) by the non-breaching party for the other party’s material breach of the non-breaching party’s confidential information or proprietary rights and (vi) by Cuttone if the Manager is unresponsive (i.e., failing to respond to Cuttone within five consecutive business days and remains unresponsive for a further three business days after notice of such unresponsiveness is provided to the Manager by Cuttone).

Escrow Agent

The escrow agent is Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., a Georgia banking corporation (the “Escrow Agent”) who will be appointed pursuant to an escrow agreement among Cuttone, the Escrow Agent, and the Company, on behalf of the Series (the “Escrow Agreement”). A copy of the Escrow Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1. Each series will generally be responsible for fees due to the Escrow Agent, which are categorized as part of the Offering Expenses described in the “Fees and Expenses” section below, however, the Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for fees due to the Escrow Agent incurred in the case of the Offering for Series #69BM1 Interests.  

The Company and Cuttone must jointly and severally indemnify the Escrow Agent and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents against any losses that are incurred in connection with providing the services under the Escrow Agreement other than losses that arise out of the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Fees and Expenses

Offering Expenses

Each series of interests will generally be responsible for certain fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the interests associated with that series (the “Offering Expenses”). Offering Expenses consist of legal, accounting, escrow, underwriting, filing and compliance costs, as applicable, related to a specific offering (and excludes ongoing costs described in Operating Expenses). The Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Offering Expenses incurred with respect to this Offering.

Acquisition Expenses

Each series of interests will be responsible for any and all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the evaluation, discovery, investigation, development and acquisition of the underlying asset related to such series incurred prior to the Closing, including brokerage and sales fees and commissions (but excluding the Brokerage Fee), appraisal fees, research fees, transfer taxes, third party industry and due diligence experts, bank fees and interest (if the underlying asset was acquired using debt prior to completion of an offering), auction house fees, travel and lodging for inspection purposes, transportation costs to transfer the underlying asset from the Automobile Seller’s possession


33



to the storage facility or to locations for creation of photography and videography materials (including any insurance required in connection with such transportation), vehicle registration fees, initial refurbishment or maintenance, technology costs for installing tracking technology (hardware and software) into the underlying asset and photography and videography expenses in order to prepare the profile for the underlying asset on the Rally Rd.™ Platform (the “Acquisition Expenses”). The Acquisition Expenses will be payable from the proceeds of each offering.

Brokerage Fee

As compensation for providing certain broker-dealer services to the Company in connection with this Offering, Cuttone will receive a fee equal to 0.75% of the amount raised through this Offering (which, for clarificatory purposes, excludes any Interests purchased by the Manager, its affiliates or the Automobile Sellers) (the “Brokerage Fee”).  Each series of interests will be responsible for paying its own Brokerage Fee to Cuttone in connection with the sale of interests in such series. The Brokerage Fee will be payable immediately upon the closing of each offering from the proceeds of such offering.

Sourcing Fee

The Manager will be paid a fee as compensation for sourcing each underlying asset (the “Sourcing Fee”), which in respect of this Offering, shall not exceed $3,828 and in respect of any other offering, such amount as determined by the Manager at the time of such offering.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Overview

The collectible automobile market, a global, multi-billion-dollar industry (based on estimates by Hagerty), is characterized by: (i) a very small number of collectors who have the financial means to acquire, enjoy and derive financial gains from automotive assets, and (ii) a very large number of collectible automobile enthusiasts who have equivalent knowledge and passion for the assets, but no current mechanism to benefit financially from or enjoy certain benefits of ownership of the asset class. This dichotomy and the disproportionate access to the market have resulted in the creation of significant latent demand from the enthusiast community to directly participate in an asset class that, to date, they have passively watched deliver returns to a select group of individual collectors.

The Company’s mission is to leverage technology and design, modern business models influenced by the sharing economy, and advancements in the financial regulatory environment to democratize the collectible automobile market. The Company aims to provide enthusiasts with access to the market by enabling them to create a diversified portfolio of equity interests in “blue-chip” collectible automobile assets through a seamless investment experience through the Rally Rd.TM Platform. As well, Investors will have the opportunity to participate in a unique collective ownership experience, including museum/retail locations and social events, as part of the Membership Experience Programs. The objective is to use revenue generated from these Membership Experience Programs to fund the highest caliber of care for the automobiles in the collection, which we expect ultimately to be offset by meaningful economies of scale in the form of lower costs for fleet level insurance, maintenance contracts and storage facilities, and to generate Free Cash Flow distributions to equity Investors in the underlying assets.  “Free Cash Flow” is defined as the net income (as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) generated by the Series plus any change in net working capital and depreciation and amortization (and any other non-cash Operating Expenses) and less any capital expenditures related to the Underlying Asset.  The Manager may maintain Free Cash Flow funds in a deposit account or an investment account for the benefit of the Series.

Collectors and dealers interested in selling their collectible automobiles will benefit from greater liquidity, significantly lower transaction costs and overhead, and a higher degree of transparency as compared to traditional methods of transacting collectible automobiles. Auction and consignment models can typically include upwards of ~20% of asset value in transaction costs, as well as meaningful overhead in terms of asset preparation, shipping and marketing costs, and time value. The Company thus aims to align the interests of buyers and sellers, while opening up the market to a significantly larger number of participants than was previously possible, thereby driving market appropriate valuations and greater liquidity.

Business of the Company

The Interests represent an investment in Series #69BM1 and thus indirectly the Series Boss Mustang and do not represent an investment in the Company or the Manager generally.  We do not anticipate that Series #69BM1 will own any assets other than the Series Boss Mustang.  However, we expect that the operations of the Company, including the issuance of additional series of interests and their acquisition of additional assets, will benefit Investors by enabling the Series to benefit from economies of scale and by allowing Investors to enjoy the Company’s automobile collection at the Membership Experience Programs.

We anticipate that the Company’s core competency will be the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of investment grade collectible automobiles for the benefit of the investors. In addition, through the use the Rally Rd.™ Platform, the Company aspires to offer innovative digital products that support a seamless, transparent and unassuming investment process as well as unique and enjoyable experiences that enhance the utility value of investing in passion assets. The Company, with the support of the Manager and through the use of the Rally Rd.TM Platform, aims to provide:

(i) Investors with access to blue-chip automotive assets for investment, portfolio diversification and secondary market liquidity for their Interests (although there can be no guarantee that a secondary market will ever develop or that appropriate registrations to permit such secondary trading will ever be obtained). 


36



(ii) Automobile Seller(s) with greater market transparency and insights, lower transaction costs, increased liquidity, a seamless and convenient sale process, portfolio diversification and the ability to retain minority equity positions in assets via the retention of equity interests in offerings conducted through the Rally Rd.™ Platform.  

(iii)  All Rally Rd.™ Platform users with a premium, highly curated, engaging automotive media experience, including audiovisual content, augmented reality, community, and market sentiment (e.g. “fantasy collecting”) features. The investable assets on the platform will be supplemented with “private” assets, which will be used to generate conversation, support the “fantasy collecting” component of the platform and enable users to share personal sentiment on all types of assets. 

(iv) All Rally Rd.™ Platform users and others with opportunities to engage with the automobiles in the Company’s collection through a diverse set of tangible interactions with assets on the platform and unique collective ownership experiences (together, the “Membership Experience Programs”) such as: 

· Track-day events (e.g., driving experiences with professional drivers, “cars & coffee” meet-ups, major auction presence) 

· Visit & interact at Rally Rd.™ “museums” (i.e., Open HQ, warehouse visits, pop-up shops with partner businesses, or “tents” at major auctions/events where users can view the assets in person and interact with each other in a social environment); 

· Asset sponsorship models (e.g. corporate sponsors or individuals pay for assets to appear in movies, commercials or at events); and 

· Other asset related products (e.g., merchandise, social networking, communities). 

A core principle of automobile collecting is the enjoyment of the assets. As such, the ultimate goal of the Membership Experience Programs will be to operate the asset profitably (i.e., generate revenues in excess of Operating Expenses at the Membership Experience Programs within mandated usage guidelines) while maintaining exemplary maintenance standards to support the potential generation of financial returns for Investors in each series. The Membership Experience Programs, with appropriate controls and incentives, and active monitoring by the Asset Manager, should enable a highly differentiated and enjoyable shared collecting experience while providing for premium care for assets in the Company’s collection. To the extent the Asset Manager considers it beneficial to Investors, we plan to include the Series Boss Mustang in the Membership Experience Programs.

Our objective is to become the leading marketplace for investing in collector quality automotive assets and, through the Rally Rd.TM Platform, to provide Investors with financial returns commensurate with returns in the collectible automobile market, to enable deeper and more meaningful participation by automotive enthusiasts in the hobby, to provide experiential and social benefits comparable to those of a world-class automobile collector, and to manage the collection in a manner that provides exemplary care to the assets and offers potential returns for Investors.

Manager

The Operating Agreement designates the Manager as the managing member of the Company.  The Manager will generally not be entitled to vote on matters submitted to the Interest Holders.  The Manager will not have any distribution, redemption, conversion or liquidation rights by virtue of its status as the Manager.

The Operating Agreement further provides that the Manager, in exercising its rights in its capacity as the managing member, will be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and will have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company, any series of interests or any of the interest holders and will not be subject to any different standards imposed by the Operating Agreement, the LLC Act or under any other law, rule or regulation or in equity.  In addition, the Operating Agreement provides that the Manager will not have any duty (including any fiduciary duty) to the Company, any series or any of the interest holders.

In the event the Manager resigns as managing member of the Company, the holders of a majority of all interests of the Company may elect a successor managing member.  Holders of interests in each series of the Company have the right to remove the Manager as manager of the Company, by a vote of two-thirds of the holders of all interests


37



in each series of the Company (excluding the Manager), in the event the Manager is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with a series of interests or the Company. If so convicted, the Manager shall call a meeting of all of the holders of every series of interests within 30 calendar days of such non-appealable judgment at which the holders may vote to remove the Manager as manager of the Company and each series.  If the Manager fails to call such a meeting, any interest holder will have the authority to call such a meeting.  In the event of its removal, the Manager shall be entitled to receive all amounts that have accrued and are due and payable to it. If the holders vote to terminate and dissolve the Company (and therefore the series), the liquidation provisions of the Operating Agreement shall apply (as described in “Description of the Interests Offered – Liquidation Rights”). In the event the Manager is removed as manager of the Company, it shall also immediately cease to be manager of any series.  

See “Management” for additional information regarding the Manager.  

Advisory Board

 The Manager intends to assemble an expert network of advisors with experience in relevant industries (the “Advisory Board”) to assist the Manager in identifying and acquiring the collectible automobiles, to assist the Asset Manager in managing the collectible automobiles and to advise the Manager and certain other matters associated with the business of the Company and the various series of interests.  

 The members of the Advisory Board are not managers or officers of the Company or any series and do not have any fiduciary or other duties to the interest holders of any series.   

Operating Expenses

Upon the Closing, the Series will be responsible for the following costs and expenses attributable to the activities of the Company related to the Series (together, the “Operating Expenses”):

(i) any and all ongoing fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the management of the Underlying Asset, including import taxes, income taxes, annual registration fees, transportation (other than transportation costs described in Acquisition Expenses), storage (including its allocable portion of property rental fees should the Manager decide to rent a property to store a number of underlying assets), security, valuation, custodial, marketing, maintenance, refurbishment, perfection of title and utilization of the Underlying Asset; 

(ii) fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with preparing any reports and accounts of the Series of Interests, including any blue sky filings required in certain states and any annual audit of the accounts of such Series of Interests (if applicable); 

(iii) fees, costs and expenses of a third party registrar and transfer agent appointed in connection with the Series of Interests; 

(iv) fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with making any tax filings on behalf of the Series of Interests; 

(v) any indemnification payments; 

(vi) any and all insurance premiums or expenses incurred in connection with the Underlying Asset, including insurance required for utilization at and transportation of the Underlying Asset to events under Membership Experience Programs (excluding any insurance taken out by a corporate sponsor or individual paying to showcase an asset at an event but including, if obtained, directors and officers insurance of the directors and officers of the Manager or the Asset Manager); and 

(vii) any similar expenses that may be determined to be Operating Expenses, as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion. 


38



The Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Operating Expenses incurred prior to the Closing. The Manager will bear its own expenses of an ordinary nature, including, all costs and expenses on account of rent (other than for storage of the Underlying Asset), supplies, secretarial expenses, stationery, charges for furniture, fixtures and equipment, payroll taxes, remuneration and expenses paid to employees and utilities expenditures (excluding utilities expenditures in connection with the storage of the Underlying Asset).

If the Operating Expenses exceed the amount of revenues generated from the Underlying Asset and cannot be covered by any Operating Expense reserves on the balance sheet of the Underlying Asset, the Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the Series, on which the Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the Series Boss Mustang (an “Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation(s)”), and/or (c) issue additional Interests in the Series in order to cover such additional amounts.

Indemnification of the Manager

The Operating Agreement provides that none of the Manager, nor any current or former directors, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, members, controlling persons, agents or independent contractors of the Manager, members of the Advisory Board, nor persons acting at the request of the Company in certain capacities with respect to other entities (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) will be liable to the Company, any series or any interest holders for any act or omission taken by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the business of the Company or any Series that has not been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  

The Series will indemnify the Indemnified Parties out of its assets against all liabilities and losses (including amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines, penalties or settlement of litigation, including legal fees and expenses) to which they become subject by virtue of serving as Indemnified Parties with respect to the Company or the Series and with respect to any act or omission that has not been determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Description of the Asset Management Agreement

The Series will appoint the Manager to serve as Asset Manager (the “Asset Manager”) to manage the Underlying Asset pursuant to an asset management agreement (the “Asset Management Agreement”).

The services provided by the Asset Manager will include:

- Together with members of the Advisory Board, creating the asset maintenance policies for the collection of assets;  

- Investigating, selecting, and, on behalf of the applicable series, engaging and conducting business with such persons as the Asset Manager deems necessary to ensure the proper performance of its obligations under the Asset Management Agreement, including but not limited to consultants, insurers, insurance agents, maintenance providers, storage providers and transportation providers and any and all persons acting in any other capacity deemed by the Asset Manager necessary or desirable for the performance of any of the services under the Asset Management Agreement; and 

- Developing standards for the transportation and care of the underlying assets.  

The Asset Management Agreement will terminate on the earlier of: (i) one year after the date on which the relevant Underlying Asset has been liquidated and the obligations connected to the Underlying Asset (including, contingent obligations) have been terminated, (ii) the removal of RSE Markets, Inc. as managing member of the Company (and thus all series of interests), (iii) upon notice by one party to the other party of a party’s material breach of the Asset Management Agreement or (iv) such other date as agreed between the parties to the Asset Management Agreement.

Each series will indemnify the Asset Manager out of its assets against all liabilities and losses (including amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines, penalties or settlement of litigation, including legal fees and expenses) to which they become subject by virtue of serving as Asset Manager under the Asset Management Agreement with


39



respect to any act or omission that has not been determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Management Fee

As consideration for managing the Underlying Asset, the Asset Manager will be paid a semi-annual fee pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement equal to 50% of any available Free Cash Flow generated by the Series for such six-month time period (the “Management Fee”).  The Management Fee will only become payable if there are sufficient proceeds to distribute Free Cash Flow to the Interest Holders.  

Asset selection

The Company targets a broad spectrum of assets globally in order to cater to a wide variety of tastes and investment strategies across the collectible automobile market. We intend to acquire automobile assets ranging from post-war European collectibles to modern exotics, American muscle cars to Japanese cult classics, as well as various other categories across the spectrum of investment-grade collectible automobiles. We will pursue acquisitions opportunistically on a global basis whenever we can leverage our industry specific knowledge or relationships to bring compelling investment opportunities to investors. It is our objective to acquire only the highest caliber assets (Condition 1 or 2 as defined by Hagerty and other similar industry valuation companies, although we may opportunistically choose to acquire assets of lesser qualities from time to time if we consider these to be prudent investments for the investors on the Rally Rd.™ Platform) and to appropriately maintain, monitor and manage the collection to support its continued value appreciation and to enable respectful enjoyment and utilization by the investors. We maintain an ongoing list of investment opportunities across the various asset categories we track, including

(i) Tier 1: comprehensive lists of makes, models and vintages that fit within the broad asset categories described above. Tier 1 assets provide a breadth of content for the Rally Rd.TM Platform and are viewed as assets for general consideration.

(ii) Tier 2: narrow lists of marquee assets that define each investment category as a whole in the hearts and minds of collectors and enthusiasts. In addition to being prudent investments, Tier 2 assets will also play a key role in promoting the Rally Rd.TM Platform because of their high consumer recognition factor.

(iii) Tier 3: target acquisition lists of assets that the Manager and Advisory Board believe would offer the greatest return on investment potential to Investors across various makes, models and vintages.

(iv) Tier 4: current acquisition lists of assets where the Manager and the Company are proactively searching for particular examples to present as opportunities for investment on the Rally Rd.TM Platform through RSE Collection.  Tier 4 lists include what we believe to be the most desirable assets in the collector automobile market at any time.

We anticipate that our Advisory Board will assist in the identification of collectible automobiles and in finding and identifying storage, maintenance specialists and other automotive related service providers. This will give the Company access to the highest quality assets and balanced information and decision making from information collected across a diverse set of constituents in the collectible automobile market, as well as a network of partners to ensure the highest standards of care for the underlying assets.

Our asset selection criteria were established by the Manager in consultation with members of our Advisory Board and are continually influenced by investor demand and current industry trends. The criteria are subject to change from time to time in the sole discretion of the Manager. Although we cannot guarantee positive investment returns on the assets we acquire, we endeavor to select assets that are projected to generate positive return on investment, primarily based upon the asset’s value appreciation potential as well as the potential for the Company to effectively monetize the asset through its Membership Experience Programs. The Manager, along with our Advisory Board, will endeavor to only select assets with known ownership history, maintenance and repair records, restoration details, VIN, engine and transmission numbers, certificates of authenticity, pre-purchase inspections, and other related records.  The Manager, along with our Advisory Board, also considers the condition of the assets, historical significance, ownership


40



history and provenance, the historical valuation of the specific asset or comparable assets and our ability to relocate the asset to offer tangible experiences to Investors and members of the Rally Rd.™ Platform.  From time to time the Manager, in consultation with our expert network and Advisory Board, will decide to refurbish assets either prior to designating a series of interests associated with such asset on the platform or as part of an asset’s ongoing maintenance schedule. Any refurbishment will only be performed if it is deemed to be accretive to the value of the asset. The Manager, together with the Advisory Board, will review asset selection criteria at least annually. The Manager will seek approval from the Advisory Board for any major deviations from these criteria.

Through the Company’s network and Advisory Board, we believe that we will be able to identify and acquire collectible automobile assets of the highest quality and known provenance, as well as examples of potential “future classics,” and obtain proprietary access to factory limited production models, with the intent of driving returns for investors in the series of interests that owns the applicable asset. Concurrently, through the Rally Rd.™ Platform, we aim to bring together a significantly larger number of potential buyers with Automobile Sellers than traditional auction houses or dealers are able to achieve. Through this process, we believe we can source and syndicate assets more efficiently than the traditional markets and with significantly lower transaction and holding costs.

Asset acquisition

From time to time, and as was the case for the Series Boss Mustang, the Company or its Affiliates may elect to acquire an automobile opportunistically prior to the offering process. In such cases, the proceeds from the associated offering, net of any Brokerage Fee, Offering Expenses or other Acquisition Expenses or Sourcing Fee, will be used to reimburse the Company for the acquisition of the automobile or repay any loans made to the Company, plus applicable interest, to acquire such automobile.  The Company pre-purchased the Series Boss Mustang through a loan from an officer of the Manager as described in “Use of Proceeds”.

In the future, rather than pre-purchasing assets before the closing of an offering, the Company plans to negotiate with Automobile Sellers for the exclusive right to market, for a period of time (the “exclusivity period”) an automobile on the Rally Rd.™ Platform to Investors. The Company plans to achieve this by pre-negotiating a purchase price (or desired amount of liquidity) and entering into an asset purchase agreement with an Automobile Seller which would close simultaneously upon the closing of the offering of interests in the series associated with that automobile. Then, upon closing a successful offering, the Automobile Seller would be compensated with a combination of cash proceeds from the offering and, if elected, equity ownership in the series associated with the automobile (as negotiated in the asset purchase agreement for such automobile) and title to the automobile would be held by, or for the benefit of, the applicable series.

Asset liquidity

The Company intends to hold and manage all of the assets marketed on the Rally Rd.™ Platform indefinitely. Liquidity for Investors would be obtained by transferring their interests in a series (although there can be no guarantee that a secondary market for any series of interests will develop or that appropriate registrations to permit secondary trading will ever be obtained). However, should an offer to liquidate an entire asset materialize and be in the best interest of the investors, as determined by the Manager, the Manager together with the Advisory Board will consider the merits of such offers on a case-by-case basis and potentially sell the asset. Furthermore, should an asset become obsolete (e.g. lack Investor demand for its interests) or suffer from a catastrophic event, the Manager may choose to sell the asset.  As a result of a sale under any circumstances, the Manger would distribute the proceeds of such sale (together with any insurance proceeds in the case of a catastrophic event covered under the assets insurance contract) to the interest holders of the applicable series (after payment of any accrued liabilities or debt, including but not limited to balances outstanding under any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, on the asset or of the series at that time).

Facilities

The Manager intends to operate the Company and manage the collection in a manner that will focus on the ongoing security of all underlying assets. The Manager will store the Underlying Asset, along with other assets in a professional facility and in accordance with standards commonly expected when managing collectable automobiles of equivalent value and always as recommended by the Advisory Board.


41



The Company currently leases space in a purpose built, secure, temperature controlled automobile storage facility in Delaware for the purposes of storing the Underlying Asset in a highly controlled environment other than when the Underlying Asset is used in Membership Experience Programs or are otherwise being utilized for marketing or similar purposes. The facility is monitored by staff approximately 40 hours per week and is under constant video surveillance. Each of the underlying assets in the collection are inspected and exercised appropriately on a regular basis according to the maintenance schedule defined for each underlying asset by the Asset Manager in conjunction with members of the Advisory Board.

The Manager and the Asset Manager is located at 41 W 25th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10010 and presently has three full-time employees and three part-time contractors.  The Company does not have any employees.

Government regulation

Regulation of the automobile industry varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and state to state. In any jurisdictions or states in which the Company operates, it may be required to obtain licenses and permits to conduct business, including dealer and sales licenses and automobile titles and registrations issued by state and local regulatory authorities, and will be subject to local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, import and export regulations, emissions standards, laws and regulations involving sales, use, value-added and other indirect taxes.

Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law could be asserted against the Company by individuals or governmental authorities and could expose the Company or each series of interests to significant damages or other penalties, including revocation or suspension of the licenses necessary to conduct business and fines.

Legal proceedings

None of the Company, any series, the Manager, the Asset Manager or any director or executive officer of the Manager is presently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Allocations of expenses

To the extent relevant, Offering Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Operating Expenses, revenue generated from underlying assets and any indemnification payments made by the Company will be allocated amongst the various interests in accordance with the Manager’s allocation policy, a copy of which is available to Investors upon written request to the Manager. The allocation policy requires the Manager to allocate items that are allocable to a specific series to be borne by, or distributed to (as applicable), the applicable series of interests.  If, however, an item is not allocable to a specific series but to the Company in general, it will be allocated pro rata based on the value of underlying assets (e.g., in respect of fleet level insurance) or the number of interests, as reasonably determined by the Manager or as otherwise set forth in the allocation policy. By way of example, as of the date hereof it is anticipated that revenues and expenses will be allocated as follows:

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

The collectible automobile market has truly become a globalized industry as collectible automobiles have begun trading hands internationally and collectors and enthusiasts are attending an increasing number of auctions and trade shows across the globe.  The core markets remain the U.S. and Europe; however, growing markets for exotic and collectible automobiles in places such as China and the Middle East create more price insulation from localized market conditions as demand is less tied to the specific health of the general U.S. economy.  Automotive subcultures in different parts of the world, such as American Muscle Cars in Sweden or the growing trend of bespoke luxury cars in the UAE, also create unique opportunities and areas of growth outside of the established U.S. and various core European market places such as the UK, Germany and Italy.

We believe that the market for highly coveted, investment grade, collectible automobile assets will continue to appreciate and generate financial returns for Investors. We further believe that continued evolution of the macro-transportation environment and its transformation through technology should exacerbate the trend. Similarly, to the extent the macro-investment environment continues to be defined by moderate interest rates and potentially volatile returns in traditional asset classes, high performing alternative asset classes should continue to gain in prominence and benefit from positive funds flows into these asset classes. Like art and other passion asset classes, we believe that collectible automobiles will continue to become a more permanent part of many investors’ investment thesis, further increasing transparency and liquidity in this market. Sharing economy business models, like those offered by the Membership Experience Programs, will become a more efficient and enjoyable way to participate in the collector car hobby independent of investment activities, particularly among younger generations that derive more value from living asset-light and experience-heavy lifestyles.

The popularization of the collectible automobile market has been accelerated through the growth of automotive clubs, road rally events, televised and streaming automotive content (e.g., Top Gear, the Grand Tour and Jay Leno’s Garage), classic and exotic car “experiences” and auctions (e.g., Mecum Auctions, Barrett-Jackson Auctions or the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance), and the aforementioned broadening of the collectable scope of automobiles.  These all lead to increased participation and interest in collectible automobiles by a larger range of people and income classes. Even the millennial generation, which has at times been described as “dis-interested in automobiles”, are engaging in the hobby in relevant numbers as the older constituents of the generation start to have the means to push prices of “bedroom wall poster” cars ever higher.  This can be seen in the recent increase in demand for late model exotic cars from the 1980’s and 1990’s at large auctions and the explosive growth of the Japanese automotive market from that same time period.

We believe that the underlying rudiments of what makes a car valuable have also widened in breadth and scope in comparison to the rather traditional collectible automobile market of the 1960’s to 1990’s.  During that era, only cars from renowned manufacturers with particular relevance (generally from racing history or rarity) became particularly valuable.  We believe that today, the market also recognizes vehicles that are differentiated because of engineering significance, design, historical importance, nostalgia or the ultimate expression of a now outdated technologies or philosophies.  Cars that were not well regarded or popular when new can now see outsized value growth in today’s market versus the more traditional framework of the past, pushing entirely new categories of the collectible automobiles to market and thus supporting the continued growth and evolution of the overall collectible automobile market.

Another factor pushing the growth of the collectible automobile market is the paradigm shift the industry is facing in new technologies including modern driving technology and autonomous cars.  As new vehicles continue towards full autonomous control and electric and propulsion, there is now a factor of finality in vehicles from even recent history that are pushing the rapid price appreciation of many automobiles.  For example, the extreme price increase of late model Manual Ferraris versus the F1 Automated gearbox versions of the same car has been spurred by the end of production of exotic cars with a standard manual gearbox.  The coming years represent a continued acceleration of the paradigm shift in how cars are made and driven and the market is recognizing the significance of things like the last naturally aspirated versions of engines, the last pairing of a certain engine and gearbox or the last vehicles with unassisted or hydraulic assisted steering.  Ultimately, this results in the market recognizing the potential historical significance of cars that may only be a few years old as they mark the end of an era.

Although the global market is significantly larger, the key available, reliable statistics are for the U.S. market only.

The Hagerty Group estimates the 2016 collectible automobile market in the U.S. involved approximately $8 billion in transaction value. This represents a ~95% increase since 2010. It is believed that ~ 72% of collectible automobile transactions were consummated on a peer-to-peer basis, ~16% at auction and ~12% through dealers. As such, the majority of the market for buying and selling of collectible automobiles is outside of the public eye with very little transparency and extremely limited access to a large number of potential market participants.

According to Hagerty, the number of collectible automobiles sold at auction in the U.S. has accelerated considerably since 2010, increasing from ~$670 million to $1.31 billion in 2016. This has resulted in considerable market attention from the “spectator sport” nature of auction events and a number of auctions being broadcast on live television. This has attracted an increasing number of collectible automobile enthusiasts to attend auctions in person and watch them live on television in the hundreds of thousands and millions respectively. For example, according to the Discovery Channel (Velocity Network) statistics, 23 million people watched the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Arizona auction live through the Velocity Network in 2015 (the latest available statistics). This significantly outpaces the live ~320,000 attendees at the auction in 2017 and the relatively small number of investors at the auctions who are actually registered to bid on assets, which has remained in the 2,500 to 10,000 range for the event.

PICTURE 3 From 2006 to 2016 the industry’s key indexes (Hagerty, K500 and Deutscher Oldtimer Index, which comprise a range of assets covering the values of sought-after collectible automobiles mainly of the post-war era) have increased by approximately 170%. During the financial crisis of 2008 to 2010, the majority of these indexes remained relatively stable to slightly up, but all have recently increased significantly in the 2013 to 2015 period and have remained relatively flat / experienced minimal declines in 2016. On average the key indexes returned ~10% per annum from 2006 to 2016.

We believe the overall macro-economic environment remains favorable for high performing alternative asset classes, including collectible automobiles. Interest rates are expected to remain moderate (albeit rising) across most developed economies and returns in traditional asset classes such as stocks and investment grade bonds may remain volatile. In addition to the increased transparency generally across alternative asset classes, we believe that these factors will support the trend for investors to seek returns in alternative assets, which will continue to make these a more permanent component of investment strategies broadly.

DESCRIPTION OF INTERESTS OFFERED

The following is a summary of the principal terms of, and is qualified by reference to the Operating Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2, and the Subscription Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, relating to the purchase of the applicable Series of Interests.  This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of those agreements, which should be reviewed in their entirety by each prospective Investor.  In the event that the provisions of this summary differ from the provisions of the Operating Agreement or the Subscription Agreement (as applicable), the provisions of the Operating Agreement or the Subscription Agreement (as applicable) shall apply.  Capitalized terms used in this summary that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Operating Agreement.

Description of the Interests

The Company is a series limited liability company formed pursuant to Section 18-215 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”).  The purchase of membership interests in Series #69BM1 of the Company is an investment only in Series #69BM1 and not an investment in the Company as a whole.  In accordance with the LLC Act, the Series #69BM1 Interests are, and any other series of interests if issued in the future will be, a separate series of limited liability company interests of the Company and not in a separate legal entity. The Company has not issued, and will not issue, any class of Series #69BM1 Interests entitled to any preemptive, preferential or other rights that are not otherwise available to the Interest Holders purchasing Interest in connection with this Offering.  

Title to the underlying assets will be held by, or for the benefit of, the applicable series of interests.  We intend that each series of interests will own its own collectible automobile.  We do not anticipate that Series #69BM1 will acquire any collectible automobiles other than the Series Boss Mustang.  A new series of interests will be issued for future automobiles.  An Investor who invests in this Offering will not have any indirect interest in any other collectible automobile unless the investor also participates in a separate offering associated with that other collectible automobile.

Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act provides that, if certain conditions are met, (including that certain provisions are in the formation and governing documents of the series limited liability company, and if the records maintained for any such series account for the assets associated with such series separately from the assets of the limited liability company, or any other series), then the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series shall be enforceable only against the assets of such series and not against the assets of the limited liability company generally or any other series.  Accordingly, the Company expects the Manager to maintain separate, distinct records for each series and its associated assets and liabilities.  As such, the assets of a series include only the automobile associated with that series and other related assets (e.g., cash reserves).  As noted in the “Risk Factors” section, the limitations on inter-series liability provided by Section 18-215(b) have never been tested in federal bankruptcy courts and it is possible that a bankruptcy court could determine that the assets of one series of interests should be applied to meet the liabilities of the other series of interests or the liabilities of the Company generally where the assets of such other series of interests or of the Company generally are insufficient to meet the Company’s liabilities.

Section 18-215(c) of the LLC Act provides that a series of interests established in accordance with Section 18-215(b) may carry on any lawful business, purpose or activity, other than the business of banking, and has the power and capacity to, in its own name, contract, hold title to assets (including real, personal and intangible property), grant liens and security interests, and sue and be sued.  The Company intends for each series of interests to conduct its business and enter into contracts in its own name to the extent such activities are undertaken with respect to a particular series and title to the relevant underlying asset will be held by, or for the benefit of, the relevant series.

All of the Series #69BM1 Interests offered by this Offering Circular will be duly authorized and validly issued.  Upon payment in full of the consideration payable with respect to the Series #69BM1 Interests, as determined by the Manager, the Interest Holders of such Series #69BM1 Interests will not be liable to the Company to make any additional capital contributions with respect to such Series #69BM1 Interests (except for the return of distributions under certain circumstances as required by Sections 18-215, 18-607 and 18-804 of the LLC Act).  Holders of Series #69BM1 Interests have no conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption or appraisal rights, no pre-emptive rights to subscribe for any Interests and no preferential rights to distributions.


56



In general, the Interest Holders of Series #69BM1 Interests (which may include the Manger, its affiliates or the Automobile Sellers) will participate exclusively in 50% of the available Free Cash Flow derived from the Series Boss Mustang less expenses (as described in “Distribution rights below).  The Manager, an affiliate of the Company, will own a minimum of 40 (or 2%) Series #69BM1 Interests acquired for the same price as all other Investors. The Manager has the option to purchase an additional 160 Interests at $57.50 per Interest as part of the Offering for a total of 200 Interests (or 10%).  The Manger may sell its Interests pursuant to this Offering Statement from time to time after the Closing of this Offering.  The Manager has the authority under the Operating Agreement to cause the Company to issue Interests to investors as well as to other Persons for such cost (or no cost) and on such terms as the Manager may determine, subject to the terms set forth in the Series Designation attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.

The Series #69BM1 Interests will use the proceeds of the Offering to repay the loan taken to acquire the Series Boss Mustang as well as pay certain fees and expenses related to the acquisition and the Offering (please see the “Use of Proceeds” section for further details). An Investor in this Offering will acquire an ownership interest in the Series #69BM1 Interests and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) the Company, (ii) any other series of interests other than the Series #69BM1 Interests, (iii) the Manager, (iv) the Rally Rd.™ Platform or (v) the Underlying Asset or any underlying asset owned by any other series of interest. Although our interests will not immediately be listed on a stock exchange and a liquid market in the Interest cannot be guaranteed, we plan to create our own trading market or partner with an existing platform to allow for trading of the Interests (please review additional risks related to liquidity in the Risk Factorssection).

Further issuance of Interests

Only Series #69BM1 Interests are being offered and sold pursuant to this Offering Circular.  The Operating Agreement provides that the Company may issue a maximum of 2,000 Series #69BM1 Interests to no more than 2,000 qualified purchasers (no more than 500 of which may be non-accredited investors). The Manager has the option to issue additional Interests (in addition to those issued in connection with this Offering) on the same terms as the Series #69BM1 Interests offered hereunder as is required from time to time in order to pay any Operating Expenses which exceed revenue generated from the Underlying Asset.

Distribution rights

The Manager has sole discretion in determining what distributions of Free Cash Flow, if any, are made to Interest Holders except as otherwise limited by law or the Operating Agreement. The Company expects the Manager to distribute any Free Cash Flow on a semi-annual basis as set forth below.  However, the Manager may change the timing of distributions or determine that no distributions shall be made in its sole discretion.

Any Free Cash Flow generated by the Series of Interests from the utilization of the Underlying Asset shall be applied, with respect to the Series, in the following order of priority:

(i) repay any amounts outstanding under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation plus accrued interest, and 

(ii) thereafter, to create such reserves as the Manager deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to meet future Operating Expenses, and 

(iii) thereafter, 50% (net of corporate income taxes applicable to such Series of Interests) by way of distribution to the Interest Holders of the Series of Interests, which may include the Automobile Sellers of the Underlying Asset or the Manager or any of its affiliates, and 

(iv) 50% to the Asset Manager in payment of the Management Fee. 

No series will distribute an underlying asset in kind to its interest holders.

The LLC Act (Section 18-607) provides that a member who receives a distribution with respect to a series and knew at the time of the distribution that the distribution was in violation of the LLC Act shall be liable to the


57



series for the amount of the distribution for three years.  Under the LLC Act, a series limited liability company may not make a distribution with respect to a series to a member if, after the distribution, all liabilities of such series, other than liabilities to members on account of their limited liability company interests with respect to such series and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of such series, would exceed the fair value of the assets of such series.  For the purpose of determining the fair value of the assets of the series, the LLC Act provides that the fair value of property of the series subject to liability for which recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the assets of such series only to the extent that the fair value of that property exceeds the nonrecourse liability. Under the LLC Act, an assignee who becomes a substituted member of a company is liable for the obligations of his assignor to make contributions to the company, except the assignee is not obligated for liabilities unknown to it at the time the assignee became a member and that could not be ascertained from the operating agreement.

Redemption provisions

The Interests are not redeemable.

Registration rights

There are no registration rights in respect of the Interests.

Voting rights

The Manager is not required to hold an annual meeting of Interest Holders.  The Operating Agreement provides that meetings of interest holders may be called by the Manager and a designee of the Manager shall act as chairman at such meetings.  The Investor does not have any voting rights as an interest holder in the Company or a series except with respect to:

(i) the removal of the Manager;  

 

(ii) the dissolution of the Company upon the for-cause removal of the Manager, and  

 

(iii) an amendment to the Operating Agreement that would: 

 

a. enlarge the obligations of, or adversely effect, an interest holder in any material respect;  

 

b. reduce the voting percentage required for any action to be taken by the holders of interests in the Company under the Operating Agreement; 

 

c. change the situations in which the Company and any series can be dissolved or terminated; 

 

d. change the term of the Company (other than the circumstances provided in the Operating Agreement); or 

 

e. give any person the right to dissolve the Company. 

When entitled to vote on a matter, each interest holder will be entitled to one vote per interest held by it on all matters submitted to a vote of the interest holders of an applicable series or of the interest holders of all series of the Company, as applicable.  The removal of the Manager as manager of the Company and all series of interests must be approved by two-thirds of the votes that may be cast by all interest holders in any series of the Company. All other matters to be voted on by the Interest Holders must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by all interest holders in any series of the Company present in person or represented by proxy.

The consent of the holders of a majority of the Interests of the Series is required for any amendment to the Operating Agreement that would adversely change the rights of the Series #69BM1 Interests, result in mergers, consolidations or conversions of the Series #69BM1 Interests and for any other matter as the Manager, in its sole discretion, determines will require the approval of the holders of the Interests voting as a separate class.


58



The Manager or its affiliates (if they hold series of interests) may not vote as an interest holder in respect of any matter put to the Interest Holders.  However, the submission of any action of the Company or a series for a vote of the Interest Holders shall first be approved by the Manager and no amendment to the Operating Agreement may be made without the prior approval of the Manager that would decrease the rights of the Manager or increase the obligations of the Manager thereunder.

The Manager has broad authority to take action with respect to the Company and any series.  See “Management” for more information.  Except as set forth above, the Manager may amend the Operating Agreement without the approval of the interest holders to, among other things, reflect the following:

· the merger of the Company, or the conveyance of all of the assets to, a newly-formed entity if the sole purpose of that merger or conveyance is to effect a mere change in the legal form into another limited liability entity; 

 a change that the Manager determines to be necessary or appropriate to implement any state or federal statute, rule, guidance or opinion;   

 a change that the Manager determines to be necessary, desirable or appropriate to facilitate the trading of interests;  

· a change that the Manager determines to be necessary or appropriate for the Company to qualify as a limited liability company under the laws of any state or to ensure that each series will continue to qualify as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; 

· an amendment that the Manager determines, based upon the advice of counsel, to be necessary or appropriate to prevent the Company, the Manager, or the officers, agents or trustees from in any manner being subjected to the provisions of the Investment Company Act 1940, the Investment Advisers Act 1940 or “plan asset” regulations adopted under ERISA, whether or not substantially similar to plan asset regulations currently applied or proposed; 

· any amendment that the Manager determines to be necessary or appropriate for the authorization, establishment, creation or issuance of any additional series; 

· an amendment effected, necessitated or contemplated by a merger agreement that has been approved under the terms of the Operating Agreement; 

· any amendment that the Manager determines to be necessary or appropriate for the formation by the Company of, or its investment in, any corporation, partnership or other entity, as otherwise permitted by the Operating Agreement; 

· a change in the fiscal year or taxable year and related changes; and 

· any other amendments which the Manager deems necessary or appropriate to enable the Manager to exercise its authority under the Agreement.  

 

In each case, the Manager may make such amendments to the Operating Agreement provided the Manager determines that those amendments:

· do not adversely affect the interest holders (including any particular series of interests as compared to other series of interests) in any material respect; 

· are necessary or appropriate to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or judicial authority or contained in any federal or state statute; 

· are necessary or appropriate to facilitate the trading of interests or to comply with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any securities exchange on which the interests may be listed for trading, compliance with any of which the Manager deems to be in the best interests of the Company and the interest holders; 

· are necessary or appropriate for any action taken by the Manager relating to splits or combinations of interests under the provisions of the Operating Agreement; or 

· are required to effect the intent expressed in this prospectus or the intent of the provisions of the Operating Agreement or are otherwise contemplated by the Operating Agreement. 

Furthermore, the Manager retains sole discretion to create and set the terms of any new series and will have the sole power to acquire, manage and dispose of underlying asset of each series.

Liquidation rights

The Operating Agreement provides that the Company shall remain in existence until the earlier of the following: (i) the election of the Manager to dissolve it; (ii) the sale, exchange or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company; (iv) at any time that the Company no longer has any members, unless the business is continued in accordance with the LLC Act; and (v) a vote by a majority of all interest holders of the Company following the for-cause removal of the Manager.  Under no circumstances may the Company be wound up in accordance with Section 18-801(a)(3) of the LLC Act (i.e., the vote of members who hold more than two-thirds of the interests in the profits of the Company).

A series shall remain in existence until the earlier of the following: (i) the dissolution of the Company, (ii) the election of the Manager to dissolve such series; (iii) the sale, exchange or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the series; (iv) at any time that the series no longer has any members, unless the business is continued in accordance with the LLC Act.  Under no circumstances may a series of interests be wound up in accordance with Section 18-801(a)(3) of the LLC Act (i.e., the vote of members holding more than two-thirds of the interests in the profits of the series of interests).

Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Manager (or a liquidator selected by the Manager) is charged with winding up the affairs of the series of interests or the Company as a whole, as applicable, and liquidating its assets. Upon the liquidation of a series of interests or the Company as a whole, as applicable, the underlying assets will be liquidated and any after-tax proceeds distributed: (i) first, to any third party creditors, (ii) second, to any creditors that are the Manager or its affiliates (e.g., payment of any outstanding Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation), and thereafter, (iii) to the interest holders of the relevant series of interests, allocated pro rata based on the number of interests held by each interest holder (which may include the Manager, any of its affiliates and the Automobile Seller and which distribution within a series will be made consistent with any preferences which exist within such series).  

Transfer restrictions

The Interests are subject to restrictions on transferability. An Interest Holder may not transfer, assign or pledge its Interests without the consent of the Manager.  The Manager may withhold consent in its sole discretion, including when the Manager determines that such transfer, assignment or pledge would result in (a) there being more than 2,000 beneficial owners of the Series or more than 500 beneficial owners of the Series that are not “accredited investors”, (b) the assets of the Series being deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, (c) such Interest Holder holding in excess of 19.9% of the Series, (d) result in a change of US federal income tax treatment of the Company and the Series, or (e) the Company, the Series or the Manager being subject to additional regulatory requirements. The transferring interest holder is responsible for all costs and expenses arising in connection with any proposed transfer (regardless of whether such sale is completed) including any legal fees incurred by the Company or any broker or dealer, any costs or expenses in connection with any opinion of counsel and any transfer taxes and filing fees.  The Manager may transfer all or any portion of the interests held by the Manager at any time and from time to time

Additionally, unless and until the Interests of the Company are listed or quoted for trading, there are restrictions on the holder’s ability to the pledge or transfer the Interests.  There can be no assurance that we will, or will be able to, register the Interests for resale. Therefore, Investors may be required to hold their Interests indefinitely. Please refer to Exhibit 4.1 – Form of Subscription Agreement for additional information regarding these restrictions.  The Interests issued in this Offering will bear a legend setting forth these restrictions on transfer and any legends required by state securities laws.

Agreement to be bound by the Operating Agreement; power of attorney

By purchasing Interests, the Investor will be admitted as a member of the Company and will be bound by the provisions of, and deemed to be a party to, the Operating Agreement.  Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, each Investor grants to the Manager a power of attorney to, among other things, execute and file documents required for the Company’s qualification, continuance or dissolution. The power of attorney also grants the Manager the authority to make certain amendments to, and to execute and deliver such other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions or purposes of, the Operating Agreement.


60



Duties of officers

The Operating Agreement provides that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Operating Agreement, the property, affairs and business of each series of interests will be managed under the direction of the Manager.  The Manager has the power to appoint the officers and such officers have the authority and exercise the powers and perform the duties specified in the Operating Agreement or as may be specified by the Manager. The Manager intends to appoint RSE Markets, Inc. as the Asset Manager of each series of interests to manage the underlying assets.

The Company may decide to enter into separate indemnification agreements with the directors and officers of the Company, the Manager or the Asset Manager (including if the Manager or Asset Manager appointed is not RSE Markets, Inc.).  If entered into, each indemnification agreement is likely to provide, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Operating Agreement against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim.  The indemnification agreements may also provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to the Company if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and the Operating Agreement.

Books and reports

The Company is required to keep appropriate books of the business at its principal offices.  The books will be maintained for both tax and financial reporting purposes on a basis that permits the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  For financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, the fiscal year and the tax year are the calendar year, unless otherwise determined by the Manager in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.  The Manager will file with the Commission periodic reports of the Company as required by 17 CFR §230.257.

Under the Securities Act, we must update this Offering Circular upon the occurrence of certain events, such as asset acquisitions. We will file updated offering circulars and offering circular supplements with the Commission. We are also subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to Tier 2 companies whose securities are registered pursuant to Regulation A, and accordingly, we will file annual reports, semiannual reports and other information with the Commission. In addition, we plan to provide Interest Holders with periodic updates, including offering circulars, offering circular supplements, pricing supplements, information statements and other information.

We will provide such documents and periodic updates electronically through the Rally Rd.TM Platform. As documents and periodic updates become available, we will notify Interest Holders of this by sending the Interest Holders an email message or a message through the Rally Rd.TM Platform that will include instructions on how to retrieve the periodic updates and documents. If our email notification is returned to us as “undeliverable,” we will contact the Interest Holder to obtain an updated email address. We will provide Interest Holders with copies via email or paper copies at any time upon request. The contents of the Rally Rd.TM Platform are not incorporated by reference in or otherwise a part of this Offering Circular.

Exclusive jurisdiction

Any dispute in relation to the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and each Investor will covenant and agree not to bring any such claim in any other venue. If an Interest Holder were to bring a claim against the Company or the Manager pursuant to the Operating Agreement, it would have to do so in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Listing

The Interests are not currently listed or quoted for trading on any national securities exchange or national quotation system.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Interests to United States holders, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any United States state or local or any non-United States jurisdiction or under United States federal gift and estate tax laws. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to an Investor’s particular circumstances or to Investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

(i) banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions; 

(ii) persons subject to the alternative minimum tax; 

(iii) tax-exempt organizations; 

(iv) dealers in securities or currencies; 

(v) traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; 

(vi) persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our Interests (except to the extent specifically set forth below); 

(vii) certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; 

(viii) persons who hold our Interests as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; 

(ix) persons who do not hold our Interests as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, for investment purposes); or 

(x) persons deemed to sell our Interests under the constructive sale provisions of the Code. 

In addition, if a partnership, including any entity or arrangement, domestic or foreign, classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, holds Interests, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold Interests, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the United States federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Interests arising under the United States federal estate or gift tax rules or under the laws of any United States state or local or any foreign taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

Definitions

U.S. Holder. A “U.S. Holder” includes a beneficial owner of the Interests that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual citizen or resident of the United States.

Taxation of each Series of Interests as a “C” Corporation

The Company, although formed as a Delaware series limited liability company eligible for tax treatment as a “partnership,” has affirmatively elected for each Series of Interests, including the #69BM1 Interests, to be taxed as a “C” corporation under Subchapter C of the Code for all federal and state tax purposes. Thus each Series of Interests, including the #69BM1 Interests,  will be taxed at regular corporate rates on its income before making any distributions to Interest Holders as described below.

 

Taxation of Distributions to Investors


62



Distributions to U.S. Holders out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will be taxable as dividends. A U.S. Holder who receives a distribution constituting “qualified dividend income” may be eligible for reduced federal income tax rates. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the characterization of corporate distributions as “qualified dividend income”. Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to a U.S. Holder to the extent that the distributions do not exceed the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s Interests. Rather, such distributions will reduce the adjusted basis of such U.S. Holder’s Interests. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits that exceed the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in its Interests will be taxable as capital gain in the amount of such excess if the Interests are held as a capital asset. Investors should note that Section 1411 of the Code, added by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, added a new 3.8% tax on certain investment income (the “3.8% NIIT”), effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. In general, in the case of an individual, this tax is equal to 3.8% of the lesser of (i) the taxpayer’s “net investment income” or (ii) the excess of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income over the applicable threshold amount ($250,000 for taxpayers filing a joint return, $125,000 for married individuals filing separate returns and $200,000 for other taxpayers). In the case of an estate or trust, the 3.8% tax will be imposed on the lesser of (x) the undistributed net investment income of the estate or trust for the taxable year, or (y) the excess of the adjusted gross income of the estate or trust for such taxable year over a beginning dollar amount (currently $7,500 of the highest tax bracket for such year). U.S. Holders should note that for tax years beginning in 2013 and thereafter dividends will be included as investment income in the determination of “net investment income” under Section 1411(c) of the Code.

Taxation of Dispositions of Interests

Upon any taxable sale or other disposition of our Interests, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the disposition in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on such disposition; and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Interests. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Interests generally equals his or her initial amount paid for the Interests and decreased by the amount of any distributions to the Investor in excess of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. In computing gain or loss, the proceeds that U.S. Holders receive will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received for their Interests, and the amount of any actual or deemed relief from indebtedness encumbering their Interests. The gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Interests are held for more than one year before disposition. Long-term capital gains of individuals, estates and trusts currently are taxed at a maximum rate of 20% (plus any applicable state income taxes) plus the 3.8% NIIT. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitation and depends on the circumstances of a particular U.S. Holder; the effect of such limitation may be to defer or to eliminate any tax benefit that might otherwise be available from a loss on a disposition of the Interests. Capital losses are first deducted against capital gains, and, in the case of non-corporate taxpayers, any remaining such losses are deductible against salaries or other income from services or income from portfolio investments only to the extent of $3,000 per year.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, the Company must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to you, your name and address, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to you.

Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of the Interests made to you may be subject to additional information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 28% unless you establish an exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that you are a United States person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the United States income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

The preceding discussion of United States federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular United


63



States federal, state and local and foreign tax consequences, if applicable, of purchasing, holding and disposing of our Interests, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.


64

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

RSE Collection, LLC

 

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of RSE Collection, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, members' deficit, and cash flows for the period from August 24, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RSE Collection, LLC as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from August 24, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Company's lack of liquidity raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 24, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2016


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

RSE Collection, LLC (the “Company”) is a Delaware series limited liability company formed on August 24, 2016.  RSE Markets, Inc. is the sole owner of interests of the Company (other than interests issued in a particular series to other investors). The Company was formed to engage in the business of acquiring and managing a collection of collectible automobiles. It is expected that the Company will create a number of separate series of interests (the “Series” or “Series of Interests”), including the Series #69BM1, and that each automobile will be owned by a separate Series, and that the assets and liabilities of each Series will be separate in accordance with Delaware law. Investors acquire membership interests (the “Interests”) in each Series and will be entitled to share in the return of that particular Series, but will not be entitled to share in the return of any other Series.

 

The Company’s managing member is RSE Markets, Inc. (the “Manager”). The Manager is a Delaware corporation formed on April 28, 2016.  The Manager is a technology and marketing company that operates the Rally Rd. platform and app ("the Rally Rd.TM Platform") and manages the Company and the assets owned by the Company in its roles as the Manager and manager of the assets of each Series (the “Asset Manager”).

 

The Company intends to sell Interests in a number of separate individual Series of the Company. Investors in any Series acquire a proportional share of income and liabilities as they pertain to a particular Series, and the sole assets and liabilities of any given Series at the time of an offering related to that particular Series a single collector automobile (plus any cash reserves for future operating expenses), which in the case of Series #69BM1 is a 1969 Boss Mustang.  All voting rights, except as specified in the Operating Agreement or required by law remain with the Manager (e.g., determining the type and quantity of general maintenance and other expenses required, determining how to best commercialize the applicable Series assets, evaluating potential sale offers and the liquidation of a Series). The Manager manages the ongoing operations of each Series in accordance with the operating agreement of the Company, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Operating Agreement”).

 

OPERATING AGREEMENT

 

In accordance with the Operating Agreement each interest holder in a Series grants a power of attorney to the Manager. The Manager has the right to appoint officers of the Company and each Series. The maximum number Interests in each Series, as of the date hereof, is 2,000.

 

After the closing of an offering, each Series is responsible for its own Operating Expenses (as defined in Note B(5)). Prior to the closing, Operating Expenses are borne by the Manager and not reimbursed by the economic members. Should post-closing Operating Expenses exceed revenues or cash reserves then the Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the series and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the series (“Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation(s)”), on which the Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and/or (c) issue additional Interests in order to cover such additional amounts, which Interests may be issued to existing or new investors, which may include the Manager or its affiliates.

 

The Manager expects to receive a fee at the closing of each successful offering for its services of sourcing the collectible automobile (the “Sourcing Fee”), which may be waived by the Manager in its sole discretion. In respect of the current offering, the broker of record, offering the securities, receives a fee of 0.75% on Interests sold in an offering, except Interests sold to the Manager, affiliates of the Manager or the automobile seller(s) (the “Brokerage Fee”). In the case of the offering for the Series #77LE1 Interests which closed in April 2017, the broker of record received a Brokerage Fee of 1.5% of Interests sold.

 

At the discretion of the Manager, a Series may make distributions of Free Cash Flow (as defined in Note E) to both the holders of economic interests in the form of a dividend and the Manager in the form of a management fee. In the case that Free Cash Flow is available and such distributions are made, at the sole discretion of the Manager, the economics members will receive no less than 50% of Free Cash Flow and the Asset Manager will receive up to 50% of Free Cash Flow in the form of a management fee. The management fee is accounted for as an expense to the Series rather than a distribution from Free Cash Flow.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 24, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2016


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

 

The Manager is responsible for covering its own expenses.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company or any of the Series have not generated profits since inception. The Company has sustained net loss of $1,731 for the period ended December 31, 2016 and, has an accumulated members’ deficit of $1,731 as of December 31, 2016. The Company or any of the series lack liquidity to satisfy obligations as they come due and current liabilities exceed current assets by $675 as of December 31, 2016. All of the liabilities on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 are obligations to third parties or the Manager. All of these liabilities, other than ones for which the Manager does not seek reimbursement, will be covered through the proceeds of future offerings for the various Series of Interests.  

 

Through December 31, 2016, none of the Series have recorded any revenues generated through the utilization of underlying automobile assets. The Company anticipates that it will commence commercializing the collection in fiscal year 2017, but does not expect to generate any revenues for any of the Series in the first year of operations. Each Series will continue to incur Operating Expenses including, but not limited to, storage, insurance, transportation and maintenance expenses, on an ongoing basis.

 

From inception, the Company and the Series have financed their business activities through capital contributions from the Manager or its affiliates to the individual Series. The Company and each Series expect to continue to have access to ample capital financing from the Manager going forward. Until such time as the Series’ have the capacity to generate cash flows from operations, the Manager may cover any deficits through additional capital contributions or the issuance of additional Interests in any individual Series. In addition, parts of the proceeds of future offerings may be used to create reserves for future Operating Expenses for individual series at the sole discretion of the Manager.

 

Initial offering:

 

The Company's initial offering for Series #77LE1 Interests (the “Series #77LE1”) issued membership Interests in Series #77LE1. The Company closed this first offering in April 2017 and repaid Loan 1 and paid for other offering related fees and expenses as described in Note C with the proceeds of the offering.

 

The Company’s initial offering for Series #69BM1 Interests (the “Series #69BM1”) is described in the Offering Circular herein. Proceeds from the offering for Interests in Series #69BM1 will be used to repay Loan 2 (see Note C) and pay for other offering related fees and expenses.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.  Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

 

3. Cash and cash equivalents: 

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, or otherwise acquired, to be cash equivalents.  The Company and its Series' did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016.

 

4. Offering Expenses: 

 

Offering Expenses relate to the offering for a specific Series and consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, escrow, compliance, filing and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to a proposed offering and will generally be charged to members' equity upon the completion of the proposed offering. Offering Expenses that are incurred prior to the closing of an offering for such Series, are being funded by the Manager and will generally be reimbursed through the proceeds of the offering related to the Series. However, the Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Offering Expenses incurred with respect to this offering. Should the proposed offering prove to be unsuccessful, these costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to the Manager.

 

In addition to the discrete Offering Expenses related to a particular series, the Manager has also incurred legal, accounting and user compliance expenses of $188,000 as of December 31, 2016 in order to set up the legal and financial framework and compliance infrastructure for the marketing and sale of the Series #77LE1 Interests, the Series #69BM1 offering and all subsequent offerings. The Manager treats these expenses as operating expenses related to the Manager’s business and will not be reimbursed for these through any activities or offerings related to the Company or any of the Series.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Manager had not incurred any Offering Expenses on behalf of Series #77LE1 or Series #69BM1.

 

5. Operating expenses: 

 

Operating Expenses related to a particular automobile include storage, insurance, transportation (other than the initial transportation from the automobiles location to the Manager’s storage facility prior to the offering, which is treated as an “Acquisition Expense”, as defined below), maintenance, annual audit and legal expenses and other automobile specific expenses as detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy. We distinguish between pre-closing and post-closing Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses are expensed as incurred.

 

Except as disclosed with respect to any future offering, expenses of this nature that are incurred prior to the closing of an offering of Series of Interests are funded by the Manager and are not reimbursed by the Company, Series or economic members. These are accounted for as capital contributions by the Manager for expenses related to the business of the Company or a Series.

 

Upon closing of an offering, a Series becomes responsible for these expenses and finances them either through revenues generated by a Series or available cash reserves at the Series. Should revenues or cash reserves not be sufficient to cover Operating Expenses the Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the Series at a reasonable rate of interest and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the Series (“Operating Expenses

Reimbursement Obligation(s)”), and/or (c) issue additional Interests in order to cover such additional amounts.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Manager had incurred $1,427 of pre-closing Operating Expenses related to Series #77LE1 and Series #69BM1. Since these expenses are incurred prior to the offering’s closing, they are borne by the Manager and not reimbursed.

 

6. Capital assets: 

 

Automobile assets are recorded at cost. The cost of the automobile includes the purchase price, including any deposits for the automobiles paid by the Manager, the Sourcing Fee, Brokerage Fee and “Acquisition Expenses”, including transportation of the automobile to the Manager’s storage facility, pre-purchase inspection, pre-offering refurbishment, and other costs detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy.

 

Acquisition Expenses related to a particular Series are initially funded by the Manager, but may be reimbursed with the proceeds from an offering related to such Series, to the extent described in the applicable offering document. Acquisition Expenses are capitalized into the cost of the automobile as per the table below. Should a proposed offering prove to be unsuccessful, the Company will not reimburse the Manager and these expenses will be accounted as capital contributions. At December 31, 2016, $2,650 of Acquisition Expenses related to the transportation of the collectible automobiles were incurred.

 

The Brokerage Fee and Sourcing Fee are paid from the proceeds of any successfully closed offering. Should an offering be unsuccessful, these expenses do not occur. As of December 31, 2016, no offerings had closed and no such fees were paid.

 

The Company treats automobile assets as collectible and therefore the Company will not depreciate or amortize the collectible automobile assets going forward. The collectible automobiles are considered long-lived assets and will be subject to an annual test for impairment.

7. Income taxes: 

 

The Company intends that the separate Series will elect and qualify to be taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code.  The separate Series will comply with the accounting and disclosure requirement of ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  

 

The master series of the Company intends to be taxed as a “partnership” or a ”disregarded entity” for federal income tax purposes and will not make any election or take any action that could cause it to be separately treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code.

NOTE D - REVENUE, EXPENSE AND COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY

 

The Company distinguishes expenses and costs between those related to the purchase of a particular automobile asset and Operating Expenses related to the management of such automobile assets.

 

Fees and expenses related to the purchase of an underlying automobile asset include the Offering Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Brokerage Fee and Sourcing Fee.

 

Within Operating Expenses the Company distinguishes between Operating Expenses incurred prior to the closing of an offering and those incurred after the close of an offering. Although these pre- and post- closing Operating Expenses are similar in nature and consist of expenses such as storage, insurance, transportation and maintenance, pre-closing Operating Expenses are borne by the Manager and are not expected to be reimbursed by the Company or the economic members. Post-closing Operating Expenses are the responsibility of each Series of Interest and may be financed through (i) revenues generated by the Series or cash reserves at the Series and/or (ii) contributions made by the Manager, for which the Manager does not seek reimbursement or (iii) loans by the Manager, for which the Manager may charge a reasonable rate of interest or (iv) issuance of additional Interest in a Series.

 

Allocation of revenues and expenses and costs will be made amongst the various Series in accordance with the Manager's allocation policy. The Manager's allocation policy requires items that are related to a specific Series to be charged to that specific Series. Items not related to a specific Series will be allocated pro rata based upon the value of the underlying automobile assets or the number of automobiles, as stated in the Manager’s allocation policy and as reasonably determined by the Manager. The Manager may amend its allocation policy in its sole discretion from time to time.

 

 Revenue from the anticipated commercialization of the collection of automobiles will be allocated amongst the Series whose underlying automobiles are part of the commercialization events, based on the value of the underlying automobile assets. No revenues have been generated to date.  

 Offering Expenses, other than those related to the overall business of the Manager (as described in Note B(4)) are funded by the Manager and generally reimbursed through the Series proceeds upon the closing of an offering. No Offering Expenses have been incurred to date. 

 Acquisition Expenses (as described in Note B(6)), are funded by the Manager, and reimbursed from the Series proceeds upon the closing of an offering. The Manager had incurred $2,650 in Acquisitions Expenses at December 31, 2016. 

 The Sourcing Fee is paid to the Manager from the Series proceeds upon the close of an offering.  The Manager received a Sourcing Fee of $3,691 at the time of the closing for the offering for Series #77LE1 in April 2017 and expects to receive a Sourcing Fee of up to $3,828 at the time of the closing for the offering for Series #69BM1.  

 The Brokerage Fee is paid to the broker of record from the Series proceeds upon the closing of an offering. A Brokerage Fee of $1,049 was paid to the broker of record at the time of the closing for the offering for Series #77LE1 in April 2017. 

 Operating Expenses (as described in Note B(5)), including storage, insurance, maintenance costs and other Series related Operating Expenses, are expensed as incurred: 

o Pre-closing Operating Expenses are borne by the Manager and accounted for as capital contributions from the Manager to the Company and are not reimbursed. At December 31, 2016, $1,056 of pre-closing Operating Expenses were incurred. 

o Post-closing Operating Expenses are the responsibility of each individual Series. At December 31, 2016, no closings had occurred.

Any available Free Cash Flow of a Series of Interests shall be applied in the following order of priority, at the discretion of the Manager:

 

i) Repayment of any amounts outstanding under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations. 

ii) Thereafter, reserves may be created to meet future Operating Expenses for a particular Series. 

iii) Thereafter, 50% (net of corporate income taxes applicable to such Series of Interests) may be distributed as dividends to interest holders of a particular Series. 

iv) The Manager may receive 50% in the form of a management fee, which is accounted for as an expense to the profit and loss statement of a particular Series and revenue to the Manager. 

 

“Free Cash Flow” is defined as the net income (as determined under GAAP) generated by any Series of Interests plus any change in net working capital and depreciation and amortization (and any other non-cash Operating Expenses) and less any capital expenditures related to the relevant Series.

All consideration received by the Company for the issuance or sale of Interests of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, from whatever source derived, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be (assets), shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be held for the benefit of the Series or the Members associated with such Series, and not for the benefit of the Members associated with any other Series, for all purposes, and shall be accounted for and recorded upon the books and records of the Series separately from any assets associated with any other Series. Such assets are herein referred to as assets associated with that Series. In the event that there are any assets in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Members reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate such assets to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable, and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any asset so allocated to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be an asset associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each and every Series, and the Managing Member shall not commingle the assets of one Series with the assets of any other Series.

(ii)              Liabilities Associated with a Series. All debts, liabilities, expenses, costs, charges, obligations and reserves incurred by, contracted for or otherwise existing (liabilities) with respect to a particular Series shall be charged against the assets associated with that Series. Such liabilities are herein referred to as liabilities associated with that Series. In the event that there are any liabilities in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Members reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate and charge (including indemnification obligations) such liabilities to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any liability so allocated and charged to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be a liability associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. All liabilities associated with a Series shall be enforceable against the assets associated with that Series only, and not against the assets associated with the Company or any other Series, and except to the extent set forth above, no liabilities shall be enforceable against the assets


 - 15 - 



associated with any Series prior to the allocation and charging of such liabilities as provided above. Any allocation of liabilities that are not readily associated with a particular Series to, between or among one or more of the Series shall not represent a commingling of such Series to pool capital for the purpose of carrying on a trade or business or making common investments and sharing in profits and losses therefrom. The Managing Member has caused notice of this limitation on inter-series liabilities to be set forth in the Certificate of Formation, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 18 215(b) of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 18 207 of the Delaware Act of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Formation) shall apply to the Company and each Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no distribution on or in respect of Interests in a particular Series, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution made in connection with the winding up of such Series, shall be effected by the Company other than from the assets associated with that Series, nor shall any Member or former Member associated with a Series otherwise have any right or claim against the assets associated with any other Series (except to the extent that such Member or former Member has such a right or claim hereunder as a Member or former Member associated with such other Series or in a capacity other than as a Member or former Member).

(e)               Ownership of Series Assets. Title to and beneficial interest in Series Assets shall be deemed to be held and owned by the relevant Series and no Member or Members of such Series, individually or collectively, shall have any title to or beneficial interest in specific Series Assets or any portion thereof. Each Member of a Series irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain an action for partition with respect to its interest in the Company, any Series or any Series Assets. Any Series Assets may be held or registered in the name of the relevant Series, in the name of a nominee or as the Managing Member may determine; provided, however, that Series Assets shall be recorded as the assets of the relevant Series on the Companys books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Series Assets is held. Any corporation, brokerage firm or transfer agent called upon to transfer any Series Assets to or from the name of any Series shall be entitled to rely upon instructions or assignments signed or purporting to be signed by the Managing Member or its agents without inquiry as to the authority of the person signing or purporting to sign such instruction or assignment or as to the validity of any transfer to or from the name of such Series.

(f)                Prohibition on Issuance of Preference Interests. No Interests shall entitle any Member to any preemptive, preferential or similar rights unless such preemptive, preferential or similar rights are set forth in the applicable Series Designation on or prior to the date of the Initial Offering of any interests of such Series (the designation of such preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to a Series in the Series Designation, the Interest Designation).

Section 3.4            Authorization to Issue Interests.

(a)               The Company may issue Interests, and options, rights and warrants relating to Interests, for any Company or Series purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Managing Member shall determine, all without the approval of the Economic Members. Each Interest shall have the rights


 - 16 - 



and be governed by the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

(b)               Subject to Section 6.3(a)(i), and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Designation, the Company is authorized to issue in respect of each Series an unlimited number of Interests. All Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this ARTICLE III shall be validly issued Interests in the Company, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

Section 3.5            Voting Rights of Interests Generally. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Series Designation, (i) each Record Holder of Interests shall be entitled to one vote per Interest for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally, (ii) all Record Holders of Interests (regardless of Series) shall vote together as a single class on all matters as to which all Record Holders of Interests are entitled to vote, (iii) Record Holders of a particular Series of Interest shall be entitled to one vote per Interest for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of the Members of such Series and (iv) the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates shall not be entitled to vote in connection with any Interests they hold pursuant to Section 3.1(h) and no such Interests shall be deemed Outstanding for purposes of any such vote.

Section 3.6            Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of an Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading (if ever). Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Interests, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Interests.

Section 3.7            Splits.

(a)               Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and Section 3.4, and unless otherwise provided in any Interest Designation, the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Interests of a Series to all Record Holders of such Series, or may effect a subdivision or combination of Interests of any Series, in each case, on an equal per Interest basis and so long as, after any such event, any amounts calculated on a per Interest basis or stated as a number of Interests are proportionately adjusted.

(b)               Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests is declared, the Managing Member shall select a date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective. The Managing Member shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to


 - 17 - 



calculate the number of Interests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

(c)               Subject to Section 3.4 and unless otherwise provided in any Series Designation, the Company shall not issue fractional Interests upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Interests, each fractional Interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole Interest (and a 0.5 Interest shall be rounded to the next higher Interest).

Section 3.8            Agreements. The rights of all Members and the terms of all Interests are subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

ARTICLE IV - REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.

Section 4.1            Maintenance of a Register. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer and ownership limitations contained below:

(a)               The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company and each Series a register that will set forth the Record Holders of each of the Interests and information regarding the Transfer of each of the Interests. The Managing Member is hereby initially appointed as registrar and transfer agent of the Interests, provided that the Managing Member may appoint such third party registrar and transfer agent as it determines appropriate in its sole discretion, for the purpose of registering Interests and Transfers of such Interests as herein provided, including as set forth in any Series Designation.

(b)               Upon acceptance by the Managing Member of the Transfer of any Interest, each transferee of an Interest (i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Economic Member with respect to the Interests so transferred to such transferee when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company, (ii) shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by completing a Form of Adherence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Managing Member in accordance with Section 4.2(g)(ii), (iii) shall become the Record Holder of the Interests so transferred, (iv) grants powers of attorney to the Managing Member and any Liquidator of the Company and each of their authorized officers and attorneys in fact, as the case may be, as specified herein, and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement. The Transfer of any Interests and the admission of any new Economic Member shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement, and no amendment to this Agreement shall be required for the admission of new Economic Members.

(c)               Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Interests entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading, if any.

Section 4.2            Ownership Limitations.


 - 18 - 



(a)               No Transfer of any Economic Members Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Economic Member, unless the written consent of the Managing Member has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion as further described in this Section 4.2. In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section must also be satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 3.6, assignment of the economic benefits of ownership of Interests may be made without the Managing Members consent, provided that the assignee is not an ineligible or unsuitable investor under applicable law.

(b)               No Transfer of any Economic Members Interests, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective unless the Managing Member determines, after consultation with legal counsel acting for the Company that such Transfer will not, unless waived by the Managing Member:

(i)                 result in the transferee directly or indirectly owning in excess of the Aggregate Ownership Limit;

(ii)              result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series of Interests, as specified in Section 12(g)(1)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act, unless such Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the Company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

(v)               require registration of the Company, any Series or any Interests under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; or

If a Transfer occurs by reason of the death of an Economic Member or assignee, the notice may be given by the duly authorized representative of the estate of the


 - 19 - 



Economic Member or assignee. The notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and valid assignment in form and substance acceptable to the Managing Member.

(d)               In the event any Transfer permitted by this Section shall result in beneficial ownership by multiple Persons of any Economic Members interest in the Company, the Managing Member may require one or more trustees or nominees to be designated to represent a portion of or the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferor as an Economic Member had pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(e)               A transferee shall be entitled to any future distributions attributable to the Interests transferred to such transferee and to transfer such Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of an Economic Member as a result of such Transfer until he or she becomes a Substitute Economic Member.

(f)                The Company and each Series shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to the transferring Economic Member until a written instrument of Transfer has been received by the Company and recorded on its books and the effective date of Transfer has passed.

(g)               Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Substitute Economic Member shall be bound by the provisions hereof. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section, the Managing Member may require, in its sole discretion:

(i)                 the transferring Economic Member and each transferee to execute one or more deeds or other instruments of Transfer in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member;

(ii)              each transferee to acknowledge its assumption (in whole or, if the Transfer is in respect of part only, in the proportionate part) of the obligations of the transferring Economic Member by executing a Form of Adherence (or any other equivalent instrument as determined by the Managing Member);

(iii)            each transferee to provide all the information required by the Managing Member to satisfy itself as to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and sanctions compliance matters; and

(iv)             payment by the transferring Economic Member, in full, of the costs and expenses referred to in paragraph (h) below,

(c)               Except as set forth in Section 4.3(b) above, in the event of the resignation of the Managing Member of its rights, obligations and title as Managing Member, the Managing Member shall nominate a successor Managing Member and the vote of a majority of the Interests held by Economic Members shall be required to elect such successor Managing Member. The Managing Member shall continue to serve as the Managing Member of the Company until such date as a successor Managing Member is elected pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.3(c).

Section 4.4            Remedies for Breach. If the Managing Member shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place that results in a violation of this ARTICLE IV, the Managing Member shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, without limitation, causing the Company to redeem shares, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Company or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or other event.

The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company and, to the extent Expenses and Liabilities are associated with any Series, each such Series, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, Expenses and Liabilities) arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or each such Series or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, each such Series, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a manager of the Company or such Series under Delaware law, an Officer of the Company or associated with such Series, a member of the Advisory Board or an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Party that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Persons fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Series (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Series has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member or the Officers are hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company or any Series, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness.

 - 26 - 



tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Persons fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b)               The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 5.7, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(c)               Any indemnification under this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by each applicable Series. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

(d)               Any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under paragraph (a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under paragraph (c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this paragraph shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

(e)               To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may, at the option of the Managing Member, be paid by each applicable Series in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by each such Series as authorized in this Section.

(f)                The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement (including without limitation any Series Designation), vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in paragraph (a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to preclude


 - 27 - 



the indemnification of any person who is not specified in paragraph (a) but whom the Company or an applicable Series has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.

(g)               The Company and any Series may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Persons status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

(h)               The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any person entitled to indemnification under this Section.

(i)                 The Company and any Series may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Managing Member, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company or such Series.

(j)                 If this Section or any portion of this Section shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction each applicable Series shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnified Person as to expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or in the right of the Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that shall not have been invalidated.

(k)               Each of the Indemnified Persons may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel, accountants, and other experts, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company or any Series in furtherance of the interests of the Company or such Series in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other experts will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel, accountants, or other experts were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

(l)                 An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(m)             Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or any Series (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the


 - 28 - 



Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(n)               The Managing Member shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and any Series and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the Officers or employees of the Company or associated with any Series, or by any other Person as to matters the Managing Member reasonably believes are within such other Persons professional or expert competence (including, without limitation, the Advisory Board).

(o)               Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of or other rights of any indemnitee under this Section as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became an indemnitee hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

(a)               Except as set forth in Sections 5.5 and 5.7, as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by the Delaware Act, (i) the duties and obligations owed to the Company by the Officers shall be the same as the duties and obligations owed to a corporation organized under DGCL by its officers, and (ii) the duties and obligations owed to the Members by the Officers shall be the same as the duties and obligations owed to the stockholders of a corporation under the DGCL by its officers.

The Managing Member shall not have any duty (including any fiduciary duty) to the Company, any Series, the Economic Members or any other Person, including any fiduciary duty associated with self-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Company or any Series shall be entitled to assume that the Managing Member and any Officer of the Company or any Series has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Company or such Series and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Company or such Series, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the Managing Member or any Officer as if it were the Companys or such Series sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Economic Member hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Managing Member or any Officer in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company or any Series by the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement were in full force and effect, (b) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Company or any Series and (c) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Company or the applicable Series.

SERIES #69BM1, A SERIES OF RSE COLLECTION, LLC

 

RSE Markets, Inc., as managing member of RSE Collection, LLC

41 W 25th Street, 8th Floor

New York, NY 10010

 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

1.Subscription.  The person named on the front of this subscription agreement (the “Purchaser”) (this “Subscription Agreement”), intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from Series #69BM1, a series of RSE Collection, LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (the “Company”), the number of Series #69BM1 Interests (the “Series #69BM1 Interests”) set forth on the front of this Subscription Agreement at a purchase price of $57.50 (USD) per Series #69BM1 Interest and on the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement governing the Company dated on or around the date of acceptance of this subscription by RSE Markets, Inc., the managing member of the Company (the “Manager”), as amended and restated from time to time (the “Operating Agreement”), a copy of which the Purchaser has received and read.      

This subscription is submitted by the Purchaser in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement, relating to the exempt offering by the Company of up to 2,000 Series #69BM1 Interests for maximum aggregate gross proceeds of $115,000 (the “Offering”), unless further Series #69BM1 Interests are issued by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement.  

Upon the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth herein, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Series #69BM1 Interests to the Purchaser on the date the Offering is closed (the “Closing”) for the aggregate purchase price set forth on the front page hereto (the “Subscription Price”).

2.Payment.  Concurrent with the execution hereof, the Purchaser authorizes (i) Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., a Georgia banking corporation (the “Escrow Agent”) as escrow agent for the Company, to request the Subscription Price from the Purchaser’s bank (details of which are set out in the “Payment Details” section above) or (ii) the transfer of funds in an amount equal to the Subscription Price from the Purchaser’s bank account into the escrow account with the payment services of Dwolla, Inc. integrated with the mobile app-based investment platform called Rally Rd.™ (or its successor platform) operated by the Manager or its affiliates .   The Company shall cause the Escrow Agent to maintain all such funds for the Purchaser’s benefit in a segregated non-interest-bearing account until the earliest to occur of: (i) the Closing, (ii) the rejection of such subscription or (iii) the termination of the Offering by the Manager in its sole discretion.     

3.Termination of Offering or Rejection of Subscription.   

3.1 In the event that (a) the Company does not effect the Closing on or before the date which is one year from the Offering being qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which period may be extended for an additional six months by the Manager in its sole discretion, or (b) the Offering is terminated by the Manager in its sole discretion, the Company will cause its payment services provider or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to refund promptly the Subscription Price paid by the Purchaser, without deduction, offset or interest accrued thereon and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.  


3


3.2 The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Manager, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for Series #69BM1 Interests, in whole or in part, and for any reason or no reason, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this subscription.  If the Manager rejects a subscription, either in whole or in part (which decision is in its sole discretion), the Company shall cause its payment services provider or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to return promptly the rejected Subscription Price or the rejected portion thereof to the Purchaser without deduction, offset or interest accrued thereon. If this subscription is rejected in whole this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.  If this subscription is rejected in part, this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

4.Acceptance of Subscription.  At the Closing, if the Manager accepts this subscription in whole or in part, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser a counterpart executed copy of this Subscription Agreement and cause the Escrow Agent to release the Subscription Price (or applicable portion thereof if such subscription is only accepted in part) to the Company for the benefit of Series #69BM1 (less any Offering Expenses as defined in the Offering Circular).  The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement, and until the Purchaser shall have executed and delivered to the Manager this Subscription Agreement and a substitute Form W-9 (if applicable) and shall have deposited the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement.  The Purchaser understands and agrees that this subscription is made subject to the condition that the Series #69BM1 Interests to be issued and delivered on account of this subscription will be issued only in the name of and delivered only to the Purchaser.  Effective upon the Company’s execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Purchaser shall be a member of the Company, and the Purchaser agrees to adhere to and be bound by, the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement as if the Purchaser were a party to it (and grants to the Manager the power of attorney described therein).   

5.Representations and Warranties, Acknowledgments, and Agreements.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees to and with the Company, Series #69BM1 and the Manager as follows: 

(a)The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Series #69BM1 Interests involves a significant degree of risk, and has received and carefully read the Company’s Offering Circular dated ______________, 2017 (the “Offering Circular”) and, in particular, the “Risk Factors” section therein.  The Purchaser understands that the Company is subject to all the risks applicable to early-stage companies, whether or not set forth in such “Risk Factors”. The Purchaser acknowledges that no representations or warranties have been made to it or to its advisors or representatives with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition. 

(b)The offering and sale of the Series #69BM1 Interests has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws.  The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Series #69BM1 Interests is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Tier 2 of Regulation A thereof, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, the investor qualification (“Investor Qualification and Attestation”) immediately following the signature page of this Subscription Agreement.  The Purchaser is purchasing the Series #69BM1 Interests for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or intent of resale or distribution thereof in violation of any applicable securities laws, in whole or in part. 

(c)The Purchaser, as set forth in the Investor Certification attached hereto, as of the date hereof is a “qualified purchaser” as that term is defined in Regulation A (a “Qualified Purchaser”).  The Purchaser agrees to promptly provide the Manager, the Broker (as defined on the first page hereto) and their respective agents with such other information as may be reasonably necessary for them to confirm the Qualified Purchaser status of the Purchaser. 


4


(d)The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser’s responses to the investor qualification questions posed in the Rally Rd.TM Platform and reflected in the Investor Qualification and Attestation, are complete and accurate as of the date hereof.

(q)The Purchaser is not, nor is it acting on behalf of, a “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(f)(2), as modified by Section 3(42) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (such regulation, the “Plan Asset Regulation”, and a benefit plan investor described in the Plan Asset Regulation, a “Benefit Plan Investor”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the term Benefit Plan Investor includes all employee benefit plans subject to Part 4, Subtitle B, Title I of ERISA, any plan to which Section 4975 of the Code applies and any entity, including any insurance company general account, whose underlying assets constitute “plan assets”, as defined under the Plan Asset Regulation, by reason of a Benefit Plan Investor’s investment in such entity.  

(r)The Purchaser is satisfied that the Purchaser has received adequate information with respect to all matters which it or its advisors, if any, consider material to its decision to make this investment. 

(s)Within five (5) days after receipt of a written request from the Manager, the Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject. 

(t)THE SERIES #69BM1 INTERESTS OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS.  THE SERIES #69BM1 INTERESTS ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE OPERATING AGREEMENT.  THE SERIES #69BM1 INTERESTS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE MEMORANDUM OR THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL. 

(u)The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac before making the following representations. The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals.  The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals, including specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs, or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists. Furthermore, to the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) if the Purchaser is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs.  Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph.  The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations.  The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and the Company may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC.  The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written  


7


notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers.  These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

(v)To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) if the Purchaser is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure, or an immediate family member or close associate of a senior foreign political figure.   A “senior foreign political figure” is a senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military or judicial branches of a foreign government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major foreign political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned corporation. In addition, a “senior foreign political figure” includes any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, a senior foreign political figure.  “Immediate family” of a senior foreign political figure typically includes the figure’s parents, siblings, spouse, children and in-laws.  A “close associate” of a senior foreign political figure is a person who is widely and publicly known to maintain an unusually close relationship with the senior foreign political figure, and includes a person who is in a position to conduct substantial domestic and international financial transactions on behalf of the senior foreign political figure. 

(w)If the Purchaser is affiliated with a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Foreign Bank”), or if the Purchaser receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities; (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated affiliate. 

(x)Each of the representations and warranties of the parties hereto set forth in this Section 5 and made as of the date hereof shall be true and accurate as of the Closing applicable to the subscription made hereby as if made on and as of the date of such Closing. 

6.Indemnification.  The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Series #69BM1, the Manager and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, members, partners, control persons and affiliates (each of which shall be deemed third party beneficiaries hereof) from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, fees and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened) based upon or arising out of any actual or alleged false acknowledgment, representation or warranty, or misrepresentation or omission to state a material fact, or breach by the Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser herein or in any other document delivered in connection with this Subscription Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation, warranty, covenant or acknowledgment made herein by the Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights granted to it under the Securities Act or state securities laws. 

7.Irrevocability; Binding Effect.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the subscription hereunder is irrevocable by the Purchaser, except as required by applicable law, and that this Subscription Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Purchaser and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.  If the Purchaser is more than one person, the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder  


8


shall be joint and several and the agreements, representations, warranties, and acknowledgments herein shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such person and such person’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

8.Modification.  This Subscription Agreement shall not be modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any such modification or waiver is sought.  

9.Assignability.  This Subscription Agreement and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder are not transferable or assignable by the Purchaser and the transfer or assignment of the Series #69BM1 Interests shall be made only in accordance with all applicable laws and the Operating Agreement.  Any assignment contrary to the terms hereof shall be null and void and of no force or effect.  

10.Applicable Law and Jurisdiction.  This Subscription Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Purchaser arising out of or in connection with this Subscription Agreement, the Operating Agreement and the Offering Circular shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The Purchaser (i) irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in any action arising out of this Subscription Agreement, the Operating Agreement and the Offering Circular and (ii) consents to the service of process by mail.  

11.Use of Pronouns.  All pronouns and any variations thereof used herein shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person or persons referred to may require. 

12.Miscellaneous. 

12.1 Sections 15.1 (Addresses and Notices) and 15.2 (Further Action) of the Operating Agreement are deemed incorporated into this Subscription Agreement.

12.2 This Subscription Agreement, together with the Operating Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof.  The terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by a written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions.

12.3 The covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchaser made, and the indemnification rights provided for, in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and delivery of the Series #69BM1 Interests, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party, and shall survive delivery of any payment for the Subscription Price.

12.4 Except to the extent otherwise described in the Offering Circular, each of the parties hereto shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees of any attorneys, accountants or others engaged by such party) in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

12.5 This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original (including signatures sent by facsimile transmission or by email transmission of a PDF scanned document or other electronic signature), but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

(a) None of the Asset Manager, its affiliates, or any of their respective directors, members, stockholders, partners, officers, employees or controlling persons (collectively, “Managing Parties”) shall be liable to the Series or the Company for (i) any act or omission performed or failed to be performed by any Managing Party (other than any criminal wrongdoing) arising from the exercise of such Managing Party’s rights or obligations hereunder, or for any losses, claims, costs, damages, or liabilities arising therefrom, in the absence of criminal wrongdoing, willful misfeasance or gross negligence on the part of such Managing Party, (ii) any tax liability imposed on the Series or the Series #69BM1 Asset, or (iii) any losses due to the actions or omissions of the Series or any brokers or other current or former agents or advisers of the Series.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Series will indemnify the Asset Manager and its Managing Parties against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) to which such person may become subject in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent that any such Loss results solely from the acts or omissions of a Managing Party that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Managing Party’s


3



fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  If this Section 5 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Series shall nevertheless indemnify the Managing Party for any Losses incurred to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that shall not have been invalidated.  

(c) The Asset Manager gives no warranty as to the performance or profitability of the Series #69BM1 Asset or as to the performance of any third party engaged by the Asset Manager hereunder.

(d) The Asset Manager may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from action upon any instruction from, or document signed by, any authorized person of the Series or other person reasonably believed by the Asset Manager to be authorized to give or sign the same whether or not the authority of such person is then effective.

6. Assignments.  This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the consent of the other party.  In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Asset Manager may, at its discretion, delegate any or all of its rights, powers and functions under this Agreement to any Person in accordance with section 2(d) without the need for the consent of the Series, provided that the Asset Manager’s liability to the Series for all matters so delegated shall not be affected by such delegation.

7. Compensation and Expenses.

(a) As compensation for services performed by the Asset Manager under this Agreement, and in consideration therefor, the Series will pay an annual asset management fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) to the Asset Manager in respect of each fiscal year, equal to 50% of any Free Cash Flows available for distribution pursuant to Article VII of the Operating Agreement. Any such amount will be paid at the same time as, and only if, a distribution is made from the Series to its Members.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 5, the Series will bear all expenses of the Series #69BM1 Asset and shall reimburse the Asset Manager for any such expenses paid by the Asset Manager on behalf of the Series together with a reasonable rate of interest (a rate no less than the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code)) as may be imposed by the Asset Manager in its sole discretion (“Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation”).

(c) Each party will bear its own costs relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and implementation of this Agreement.

8. Services to Other Clients; Certain Affiliated Activities.

(a) The relationship between the Asset Manager and the Series is as described in this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement, none of the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, nor any other matter, shall oblige the Asset Manager to accept responsibilities that are more extensive than those set forth in this Agreement.

(b) The Asset Manager’s services to the Series are not exclusive.  The Asset Manager may engage in other activities on behalf of itself, any other Managing Party and


4



other clients (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include other series of the Company).  The Series acknowledges and agrees that the Asset Manager may, without prior notice to the Series, give advice to such other clients.  The Asset Manager shall not be liable to account to the Series for any profits, commission or remuneration made or received in respect of transactions effected pursuant to the Asset Manager’s advice to another client and nor will the Asset Manager’s fees be abated as a result.

9. [RESERVED].

10. Duration and Termination.  Unless terminated as set forth below, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until one year after the date on which the Series #69BM1 Asset has been liquidated and the obligations connected to such Series #69BM1 Asset (including, without limitation, contingent obligations) have terminated or, if earlier, the removal of RSE Markets, Inc. as managing member of the Series.  Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon a material breach of the Agreement by the other party, without penalty or other additional payment, except that the Series shall pay the Asset Management Fee of the Asset Manager referred to in section 7, pro-rated to the date of termination, together with all amounts outstanding under any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation.  Termination shall not affect accrued rights, and the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 7 (with respect to any accrued but unpaid fees and expenses), 8, 10, 12, 15 and 17 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Power of Attorney.  For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Series constitutes and appoints the Asset Manager, with full power of substitution, its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and in its name, place and stead to carry out the Asset Manager’s obligations and responsibilities to the Series under this Agreement, solely with respect to the Series #69BM1 Asset.

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to offer for sale securities pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Offering”), for a maximum of Fifty Million dollars ($50,000,000) (the “Maximum Offering Amount”), membership interests in various series of the Company (the “Membership Interests” or “Interests”). Subscribers, as defined below, may purchase the securities in increments of not less than one Interest, payable in cash pursuant to subscription agreements for the Offering (“Subscription Agreements”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Securities are proposed to be offered for sale to investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to exemptions from registration under certain state securities laws;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:

 

1. Deposits in Escrow. 

 

(a) The Company and Placement Agent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent all subscription proceeds received from investors who desire to purchase the securities (the “Subscribers”) to be held in escrow under the terms of this Agreement until it receives notice of a Contingency (as defined below) from the Company or the Placement Agent (together “Authorized Representatives” of RSE Collection, LLC) as described in Section 3.  Proceeds the Escrow Agent receives from the Subscribers are “Subscription Proceeds.”  The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for Subscription Proceeds until such proceeds are actually received, clear through normal banking channels and constitute collected funds. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to collect or seek to compel payment of any Subscription Proceeds, except to place such proceeds or instruments representing such proceeds for deposit and payment through customary banking channels and through the payment services provider of the Company.  “Contingency” means (a) the verification by the Placement Agent of the “qualified purchaser” status of each accepted Subscriber for an Offering of a particular series of the Company, (b) the qualification by the Securities and Exchange Commission of an offering circular or amendment thereto with respect to the Offering of a particular series of the Company, and (c) acceptance of the Subscription Agreements by the Company for an Offering of a particular series of the Company.

(a) Any Subscription Agreement may be rejected by the Company in whole or in part. An Authorized Representative shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent in writing (email shall suffice) in the event of any such rejection or cutback of a subscribed amount under a Subscription Agreement. At such time, an Authorized Representative shall instruct the Company’s payment services provider to promptly return funds tendered by such Subscriber, without deduction or payment of interest. 

 

(b) In the event of a withdrawal of a Subscription Agreement by a Subscriber, an Authorized Representative shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent in writing (email shall suffice) that a Subscription Agreement has been withdrawn by a Subscriber. At such time, an Authorized Representative shall instruct the Company’s payment services provider to promptly return to such Subscriber the Subscription Proceeds tendered therewith, without deduction or payment of interest. 

 

(c) A confirmation of any returned funds through the Company’s payment services provider shall be provided by an Authorized Representative to the Escrow Agent electronically upon completion of the return upon request.  

 

3. Disbursements.

(b) If the Offering with respect to any series has been terminated by the Company or the Placement Agent, then an Authorized Representative shall notify the Escrow Agent of such termination and shall instruct the Company’s payment services provider to promptly refund to each of the Subscribers the full amount of Subscription Proceeds furnished by each such  


2


Subscriber in respect of that series’ Offering from the escrow account, without deduction or payment of interest.

 

(c) On or before the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to the Escrow Agent a completed Form W-9 of the Company.

(d) The Company shall make a copy of this Agreement available to each Subscriber. 

 

4. Investment of Subscription Proceeds; Compensation of Escrow Agent. 

 

(a) The Escrow Agent shall deposit all Subscription Proceeds in non-interest bearing accounts unless otherwise directed in writing by the Company; and 

 

(b) The Company shall promptly pay to the Escrow Agent compensation, and reimburse the Escrow Agent for costs and expenses, including the Escrow Agent’s attorney’s fees, through the funds in the Company’s operating account held by Atlantic Capital Bank or another account designated by Company and acceptable to Escrow Agent. 

 

5. Duties of Escrow Agent; Indemnification. 

 

(a) The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no additional duties or obligations shall be implied hereunder. In performing its duties under this Agreement, or upon the claimed failure to perform any of its duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses which may be incurred as a result of the Escrow Agent’s so acting or failing to so act; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability for damages arising from the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent shall in no event incur any liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith upon advice of legal counsel, which may be counsel to either party hereto, given with respect to any question relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any instrument delivered to the Escrow Agent and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 

 

(b) The Company warrants to and agrees with the Escrow Agent that, to its knowledge, there is no security interest in the Subscription Proceeds or any part of the Subscription Proceeds and that no financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction is on file in any jurisdiction claiming a security interest in or describing, whether specifically or generally, the Subscription Proceeds or any part of the Subscription Proceeds; and the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility at any time to ascertain whether or not any security interest exists in the Subscription Proceeds or any part of the Subscription Proceeds or to file any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction with respect to the Subscription Proceeds or any part thereof. 

 

(c) As an additional consideration for and as an inducement for the Escrow Agent to serve as escrow agent hereunder, it is understood and agreed that, in the event of any  


3


controversy resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for any money or other property involved in or affected by this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, at the option of the Escrow Agent, to refuse to comply with the demands of any parties so long as such controversy shall continue. In such event, the Escrow Agent may elect not to make any delivery or other disposition of the Subscription Proceeds or any part of such Subscription Proceeds. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable to such parties or any of them for the failure of the Escrow Agent to comply with the conflicting or adverse demands of such parties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to refrain and refuse to deliver or otherwise dispose of the subscription proceed or any part thereof or to otherwise act hereunder, as stated above, unless and until:

 

(i) the rights of such parties have been finally settled or duly adjudicated in a court having jurisdiction over such parties and the Subscription Proceeds and the Escrow Agent has received written instructions as to disbursement thereof or a copy of such court order; or 

 

(ii) the parties have reached an agreement resolving their differences and have jointly notified the Escrow Agent in writing of such agreement and have provided the Escrow Agent with indemnity satisfactory to the  Escrow Agent against any liability,  claims or damages resulting from compliance by the Escrow Agent with such agreement. 

 

In the event of a controversy as described above, the Escrow Agent shall have the right, in addition to the rights described above and at the option of Escrow Agent, if the Company and the Placement Agent have not named a successor Escrow Agent within thirty (30) days after the Escrow Agent’s notice of resignation pursuant to clause (e) below, to tender into the registry or custody of any court having jurisdiction, all money and property comprising the Subscription Proceeds and may take such other legal action as may be appropriate or necessary, in the opinion of Escrow Agent or its legal counsel. Upon such tender, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from all further duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the filing of any such legal proceedings shall not deprive the Escrow Agent of its compensation hereunder earned prior to such filing and discharge of the Escrow Agent of its duties hereunder.

 

(d) The Company agrees that in the event any controversy arises under or in connection with this Agreement or the Subscription Proceeds or the Escrow Agent is made a party to or intervenes in any litigation pertaining to this Agreement or the Subscription Proceeds, to pay to the Escrow Agent reasonable compensation for its extraordinary services and to reimburse the Escrow Agent for all costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, associated with such controversy or litigation; provided, however, that such compensation and legal reimbursement shall not apply if the controversy relates to the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  

 

(e) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time from its obligations under this Agreement by providing written notice to the Company and Placement Agent. Such resignation shall be effective on the date set forth in such written notice, which shall be no earlier than ninety (90) days after such written notice has been given. In the event no successor escrow agent has been appointed on or prior to the date such resignation is to become effective, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all assets then held by it hereunder and shall thereupon be relieved of all further duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided however, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to its compensation earned  


4


prior thereto. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the appointment of a successor escrow agent hereunder.

 

(f) The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to take any legal action in connection with this Agreement or its enforcement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any action or legal proceeding which would or might involve the Escrow Agent in any cost, expense, loss or liability unless security and indemnity satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, shall be furnished. 

 

(g) The Company and Placement Agent jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents and to save the Escrow Agent and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Claims (as hereunder defined) and Losses (as hereinafter defined) which may be incurred by the Escrow Agent or any of such officers, directors, employees or agents as a result of Claims asserted against Escrow Agent or any of such officers, directors, employees or agents directly or indirectly as a result of or in connection with Escrow Agent’s serving in the capacity of escrow agent under this Agreement, other than Claims relating to damages arising from the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the purposes hereof, the term “Claims” shall mean all claims, lawsuits, causes of action or other legal actions and proceedings of whatever nature brought against (whether by way of direct action, counterclaim, cross action or interpleader) the Escrow Agent or any such officer, director, employee or agent, even if groundless, false or fraudulent, so long as the claim, lawsuit, cause of action or other legal action or proceeding is alleged or determined, directly or indirectly, to arise out of, result from, relate to or be based upon, in whole or in part: 

(i) the acts or omissions of the Company and Placement Agent, or  

(ii) the appointment of the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or  

(iii) the performance by the Escrow Agent of its powers and duties under this Agreement, other than claims relating to damages arising from the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Re: Offering Statement on Form 1-A

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to RSE Collection, LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (the “Company”) in connection with the filing of an Offering Statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) pursuant to 17 CFR Part 230.251 et. seq. (“Regulation A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The Offering Statement relates to the proposed issuance and sale by the Company (the “Offering”) of up to 2,000 of the Company’s Series #69BM1 Interests (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company dated as of May 25, 2017 (the “Operating Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Series Designation of Series #69BM1 attached thereto (the “Series Designation”)).  We understand that the Series #69BM1 Interests would be sold as described in the Offering Statement and pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement, to be entered into by and between the Company and each of the purchasers of the Series #69BM1 Interests (the “Subscription Agreement”). 

 

In connection with the Offering, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Certificate of Formation of the Company, (ii) the Operating Agreement, (iii) the Series Designation, (iv) corporate proceedings, including the resolutions of the manager of the Company and the Board of Directors of the manager of the Company, with respect to the Offering, and (v) such other documents, instruments and records as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinions contained therein.  We have also relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the manager of the Company and others as to certain factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters.  We have also reviewed the Offering Statement and form of Subscription Agreement as filed with the Commission. In our examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such documents, the completeness of all records and other information made available to us by the Company on which we have relied, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all signatories who are natural persons and the due execution and delivery of all documents.  

 

We have assumed that (i) the statements of the Company contained in the Offering Statement are true and correct as to all factual matters stated therein, (ii) the Offering Statement will be and remain qualified under the Securities Act, and (iii) the Company will receive the required consideration for the issuance of such Series #69BM1 Interests at or prior to the issuance thereof.  We have relied upon certificates of, and information received from, the Company and/or representatives of the Company when relevant facts were not otherwise independently established.  We also have relied on information obtained from public officials and other sources believed by us to be reliable as to other questions of fact.  We have made no independent investigation of the facts stated in such certificates or as to any information received from the Company, representatives of the Company and/or public officials and do not opine as to the accuracy of such factual matters.  




Members of our firm involved in the preparation of this opinion are licensed to practice law in the State of New York and we do not purport to be experts on, or to express any opinion herein concerning, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York, the federal law of the United States, and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware Act”).  We assume no obligation to update or supplement our opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or changes in law that may hereafter occur.  

 

Our opinions below are qualified to the extent that they may be subject to or affected by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, usury, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) by general equitable principles and public policy considerations, whether such principles and considerations are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity.  We are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein and we express no opinion as to any matter not expressly opined on herein.  

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and the other qualifications and limitations contained herein, we are of the opinion that the Series #69BM1 Interests have been authorized by all necessary limited liability company action of the Company and, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms set forth in the Operating Agreement, Series Designation and Subscription Agreement against payment therefor in the manner contemplated in the Offering Statement, will be legally issued and, under the Delaware Act, purchasers of the Series #69BM1 Interests have no obligation to make payments to the Company (other than their purchase price for the Series #69BM1 Interests), or contributions to the Company, solely by reason of their ownership of the Series #69BM1 Interests or their status as members of the Company, and no personal liability for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being members of the Company.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Offering Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit that any member of this firm is an “expert” within the meaning of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.  

 

 

 

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

/s/ Nixon Peabody LLP
