Item 1. Fundamental Changes

 

On November 13, 2024, Level & Co. Gallery, LLC, as agent for Series 348 (“Series 348”) of Masterworks Vault 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and the 348 Segregated Portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC agreed to consign the sole artwork owned by Series 348 created by Alex Katz (the “Artwork”) to an unaffiliated gallery (the “Consignee”), pursuant to a consignment 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 Artwork and may sell the Artwork to a third-party through February 13, 2025 (the “Consignment Period”), provided that Series 348 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 Artwork will be in the custody of the Consignee during the Consignment Period, and title of the Artwork will continue to be held by Series 348 unless (i) the Consignee executes a definitive sale of the Artwork and (ii) Series 348 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 Artwork will be completed. If the Artwork is sold by the Consignee during the Consignment Period, in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, Series 348 will use the proceeds of the sale of the Artwork to pay or provide for payment of Series 348’s liabilities, costs and expenses and will distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of the assets to the Series 348’s shareholders of record, after which Series 348 will wind up operations and dissolve.
