Item 1. Fundamental Changes

 

On May 4, 2022, Masterworks 002, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and the 002 Segregated Portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC agreed to consign the sole painting owned by the Company created by Claude Monet (the “Painting”) to an unaffiliated auction house (the “Consignee”), pursuant to a seller’s agreement (the “Consignment Agreement”). A copy of the Consignment Agreement is attached to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 6.1.

 

Pursuant to the Consignment Agreement, the Consignee is appointed as the exclusive selling agent of the Painting and may sell the Painting to a third-party through June 15, 2022 (the “Consignment Period”), provided that the Company receives a minimum net proceed amount in connection with the sale (the “Floor Price”). The Floor Price, along with any commission and or profit sharing arrangements, were determined based on arm’s length negotiations among the parties.

 

The Consignment Agreement also contains representations, warranties, and covenants of the parties that are customary for transactions of this type. The Painting will be in the custody of the Consignee during the Consignment Period, and title of the Painting will continue to be held by the Company unless (i) the Consignee executes a definitive sale of the Painting and (ii) the Company receives the full amount of its net proceeds from such sale.

 

Exclusive consignments for a limited duration are a common method of exposing works to a segment of the market, but very often they do not result in a sale transaction. Accordingly, the Company cannot guarantee or express any opinion on the likelihood that a sale of the Painting will be completed. If the Painting is sold by the Consignee during the Consignment Period, in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, the Company will use the proceeds of the sale of the Painting to pay or provide for payment of the Company’s liabilities, costs and expenses and will distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of the assets to the Company’s shareholders of record, after which the Company will wind up operations and dissolve.

11. Revocation of Authority & Withdrawal

 

a)By you:

 

i)You may not revoke our authority to offer any lot for private sale unless we have broken any of our material obligations to you under this agreement in a way that:

 

(A)cannot be put right; or
(B)has not been put right before the term expires or within 14 days of you telling us in writing (whichever is earlier).

 

ii)To revoke our authority in these circumstances, you must let us know in writing as soon as reasonably possible after you become aware that we have broken any of our material obligations to you.

 

b)By us:

 

We may cease offering any lot and withdraw it from private sale at any time prior to the expiration of the term if:

 

i)we have reasonable doubts about its provenance or that it is authentic;
ii)the property is not in the same condition it was in when we originally inspected it;
iii)we have reasonable doubts about the accuracy of the warranties in paragraph 4 or your confirmations set out in paragraph 13;
iv)you have materially broken any of your material obligations to us under this agreement, in a way that:

 

(A)cannot be put right; or
(B)has not been put right 3 working days before the expiration of the term or within 14 days of us telling you in writing (whichever is earlier); or

 

v)we reasonably believe at any stage that selling or offering the lot will be illegal, put us at risk of any legal claim, cause damage to our reputation, or that other just cause exists.

 

c)Consequences of Withdrawing the Lot from Private Sale

 

If we withdraw a lot from private sale under paragraph 11(b):

 

i)you will pay our reasonable costs and expenses in preparing the lot for sale (including any sale expenses that we waived under the terms of this agreement); and
ii)we will be entitled to end this agreement immediately by giving you written notice.

 

In addition, if we withdraw a lot from private sale under paragraph 11(b)(iii) or (iv), or agree to your doing so (other than as permitted under 11(a)), you will also pay a withdrawal fee in an amount that is equal to five percent (5%) of the proceeds of sale for the lot (plus any relevant taxes).

 

12. Taxes

 

a)You are responsible for any taxes imposed on the sale of the property that are personal to you. We have the right to withhold relevant tax amounts from any proceeds of sale due to you for the purpose of paying taxes on your behalf if we are required by law to do so, or if we have to pay any taxes, duties or other amounts to any tax authorities on your behalf or as a result of any information you give us being incorrect or due to your failure to complete any forms required by law, you must reimburse to us the full amount and our related costs or expenses when we ask you to do so.
b)Only applicable for U.S. Persons (regardless of sale location) and for U.S. Sales (regardless of nationality). You recognize that pursuant to U.S. law, we must withhold a percentage of your proceeds of sale and remit that withholding to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) unless you meet your obligation to provide us, prior to payment, with (i) a Form W-9 if you are a U.S. person, as defined below, or (ii) a Form W-8BEN/BEN-E if you are not a U.S. person. For the purpose of this agreement, a U.S. person is any U.S. citizen or resident, and any corporation, partnership, or other organization (such as an Estate or Trust) organized under the laws of the United States; provided that it is your responsibility to make this determination. You agree that if we have failed to properly withhold such amount from the proceeds of sale already distributed to you, you will reimburse us to the extent we must subsequently make such payment to the IRS.
c)If this agreement is assigned, in whole or in part, to [***] in accordance with Part 2 paragraph 13(f): Unless you tell us otherwise prior to signing this agreement, we will sell the property under the VAT Margin Scheme. If you are not selling under the VAT Margin Scheme and you are a person or entity registered for VAT in the UK/EU (as applicable), you agree that: (i) the settlement statement issued by us to you upon the sale of the property will be deemed to be a self-billed invoice for VAT purposes; (ii) you will pay any VAT paid to you by us to the appropriate tax authority; (iii) you will not raise an invoice to us; and (iv) this self-billing arrangement will remain in place until all obligations under this agreement are completed.
d)If this agreement is assigned, in whole or in part, to [***] in accordance with Part 2 paragraph 13(f): Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing you are responsible for paying any Hong Kong consignment taxes at the rate and time required by the relevant law. The consignment tax payable to the Hong Kong government is currently at the rate of 0.5% of the amount of proceeds of sale due to you from the sale of the property (which may be subject to changes without further notice) if you are a seller who is not a Hong Kong resident or a business that is not registered in Hong Kong.
e)Tax residence/Tax Forfaitaire/Plus Value Tax
 This paragraph will apply if you are a French resident or are considered under applicable law to be a French resident for tax purposes or if the status of your lot requires it. In such case, you will, in respect to any lot selling for more than EUR5,000 (or its equivalent in the sale currency), be liable for a plus value tax of 6.5% (or at the rate applying at the date of the sale) of the sale price of the lot, unless you indicate to us in writing that you opt for the “régime général d’imposition des plus-values” which will then apply – for example you have owned the lot for more than 22 years (or the period applying at the date of the sale) prior to the date of the lot’s sale with us. If we determine in our good faith discretion that we must pay and do pay this amount to the appropriate party, then you agree that we may deduct this amount from the proceeds of sale. You agree that if we have failed to withhold such amount from the proceeds of sale already distributed to you, you will reimburse us to the extent we have made such payment.
