Item 9. Other Events

 

As previously disclosed by Masterworks 005, LLC (the “Company” or “we”) in its Current Report on Form 1-U as filed with the SEC on August 31, 2023, the Company solicited consent from the holders of the requisite number of voting shares of the Company to amend agreements to which it is party with respect to each of the following:

 

  To change the way Masterworks’ management fee equity will be earned such that management fee equity will be issued at the Cayman subsidiary level (i.e. the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC that holds title to the artwork indirectly owned by the Company) as opposed to the Company level.
     
  To accelerate the vesting on management fee shares previously earned and eliminate vesting provisions on Masterworks’ management fee equity going forward.
     
  To authorize creation of a Class C share to formalize Masterworks’ right to replace the Board of Managers.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has received the requisite consent required. The vesting date of all of the Company’s previously earned management fee shares as of September 30, 2023 was accelerated to September 30, 2023. All other contemplated changes will occur on a date determined by Masterworks and at such time(s), the Company will file a Form 1-U with additional information.
