Post-Qualification Amendment No. 5

File No. 024-11584

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This is a post-qualification amendment to an offering statement on Form 1-A filed by RSE Collection, LLC (the “Offering Statement”).  The Offering Statement, as amended by a pre-qualification amendment, was initially qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2021.  This Post-Qualification Amendment No. 5 seeks to qualify four additional series of interests of the issuer: Series #67ICEBOWL; Series #DKCOUNTRY; Series #FALCON; and Series #95FF1.

 

Different series of RSE Collection, LLC have already been offered by RSE Collection, LLC under the Offering Statement, as amended and qualified. Such series of RSE Collection, LLC will continue to be offered and sold by RSE Collection, LLC following the filing of this post-qualification amendment subject to the offering conditions contained in the Offering Statement, as qualified.

 

The purpose of this post-qualification amendment is to add to the Offering Statement, as amended and qualified, the offering of additional series of RSE Collection, LLC and to amend, update and/or replace certain information contained in the Offering Circular. The series already offered under the Offering Statement and the additional series being added to the Offering Statement by means of this post-qualification amendment are outlined in the “Master Series Table” contained in Appendix A to the Offering Circular in this post-qualification amendment.


i



This Post-Qualification Amendment No. 5 amends the Offering Circular of RSE Collection, LLC originally qualified on November 15, 2021, and most recently amended by Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 4 dated November 24, 2021, and as may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Offering Circular”), to add additional securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering Circular and to update certain other information in the Offering Circular.  Unless otherwise defined below, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Offering Circular.  An offering statement pursuant to Regulation A relating to these securities has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Information contained in this Preliminary Offering Circular is subject to completion or amendment. To the extent not already qualified under Regulation A, these securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted before the offering statement filed with the Commission is qualified.  We may elect to satisfy our obligation to deliver a Final Offering Circular by sending you a notice within two business days after the completion of our sale to you that contains the URL where the Final Offering Circular or the offering statement in which such Final Offering Circular was filed may be obtained.

(1) Dalmore Group, LLC (when acting in connection with initial offerings of interests, the “BOR”) acts as a broker of record and is entitled to a Brokerage Fee, as described in “Offering Summary” – “Use of Proceeds.”  The BOR’s role and compensation are described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Broker” and “– Fees and Expenses.”  With respect to trading on the PPEX ATS (as defined below), Dalmore Group, LLC (when acting in connection with secondary market transactions of interests, the “Executing Broker”) also acts as executing broker to facilitate secondary transactions on behalf of investors (as described in “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”).

(2) DriveWealth, LLC (the “Custodian”) acts as custodian of interests and holds brokerage accounts for interest holders in connection with the Company’s offerings and is entitled to a Custody Fee, as described in “Offering Summary” – “Use of Proceeds.”  The Custodian’s role and compensation are described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Custodian” and “– Fees and Expenses.”  For all offerings of the Company which closed or launched prior to the agreement with the Custodian, signed on March 2, 2018, interests are transferred into the Custodian brokerage accounts upon consent of the individual investors who purchased such interests or transferred money into escrow in anticipation of purchasing such interests at the close of the currently ongoing offerings.


ii



(3) No underwriter has been engaged in connection with the Offering (as defined below) and neither the BOR, nor any other entity, receives a finder’s fee or any underwriting or placement agent discounts or commissions in relation to any Offering of Interests (as defined below). We intend to distribute all membership interests in any series of the Company principally through the Platform (as defined below) and any successor platform used by the Company for the offer and sale of interests, as described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure” and “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform.”  The Manager pays the Offering Expenses (as defined below) on behalf of each Series (as defined below) and is reimbursed by the Series from the proceeds of a successful Offering.  See the “Use of Proceeds” section for each respective Series in Appendix B and the “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Fees and Expenses” section for further details.

 

The Company is offering, on a best efforts basis, a minimum (the “Total Minimum”) to a maximum (the “Total Maximum”) amount of membership interests of each of the series of the Company highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table in Appendix A. Series not highlighted in gray have completed their respective offerings at the time of this filing and the number of interests in the table represents the actual interests sold. The sale of membership interests is being facilitated by the BOR, a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and is registered in each state where the offer or sales of the Interests (as defined below) will occur. Interests will be offered and sold only in states where the BOR is registered as a broker-dealer.  For the avoidance of doubt, the BOR does not and will not solicit purchases of Interests or make any recommendations regarding the Interests to prospective investors.

All of the series of the Company offered hereunder may collectively be referred to herein as the “Series.”  The interests of all Series described above may collectively be referred to herein as the “Interests” and the offerings of the Interests may collectively be referred to herein as the “Offerings.”  See “Description of Interests Offered” for additional information regarding the Interests.

The Company is managed by its managing member, RSE Collection Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”). The Manager is a single-member Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by Rally Holdings LLC (“Rally Holdings”). Rally Holdings is a single-member Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by RSE Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RSE Markets” together with the Manager, Rally Holdings, and each of their respective, direct and indirect, subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Rally Entities”).

The Company’s core business is the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of collectible items, including collectible automobiles, memorabilia, alcohol and digital assets, collectively referred to as “Collectible Assets” or the “Asset Class,” for the benefit of the investors. The Series assets referenced in the Master Series Table in Appendix A may be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Underlying Assets.” Any individual or entity which owns an Underlying Asset prior to a purchase of an Underlying Asset by the Company in advance of a potential Offering or the closing of an Offering from which proceeds are used to acquire the Underlying Asset may be referred to herein as an “Asset Seller.” See “Description of the Business” for additional information regarding the Asset Class.

Rally Holdings serves as the asset manager (the “Asset Manager”) for each Series of the Company and provides services related to the Underlying Assets in accordance with each Series’ Asset Management Agreement (see “Description of the Business” – “Description of the Asset Management Agreement” for additional information).

Appendix B to this Offering Circular describes each individual Series found in the Master Series Table.

The Interests represent an investment in a particular Series and thus indirectly the Underlying Asset and do not represent an investment in the Company generally or any other Rally Entity.  We do not anticipate that any Series will own any assets other than the Underlying Asset associated with such Series.  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 each Series to benefit from economies of scale and by allowing investors to enjoy the Company’s Underlying Asset collection at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”).  

A purchaser of the Interests may be referred to herein as an “Investor” or “Interest Holder.”  There will be a separate closing with respect to each Offering (each, a “Closing”). The Closing of an Offering will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the Total Maximum Interests for a Series have been accepted or (ii) a date determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, provided that subscriptions for the Total Minimum Interests of such Series have been accepted.  If Closing has not occurred, an Offering shall be terminated upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date which is one year from the date such Offering Circular or Amendment, as applicable, is qualified by the


iii



U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “Commission,” which period may be extended with respect to a particular Series 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 for a particular Series in its sole discretion.  

No securities are being offered by existing security-holders.

Each Offering is being conducted under Tier 2 of Regulation A (17 CFR 230.251 et seq.), and the information contained herein is being presented in Offering Circular format.  The Company is not offering, and does not anticipate selling, Interests in any of the Offerings in any state where the BOR is not registered as a broker-dealer. The subscription funds advanced by prospective Investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account with Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., the “Escrow Agent,” and will not be transferred to the operating account of the Series unless and until there is a Closing with respect to that Series.  See “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure” and “Description of Interests Offered” for additional information.

A purchase of Interests in a Series does not constitute an investment in either the Company or an Underlying Asset directly, or in any other Series of Interests. This results in limited voting rights of the Investor, which are solely related to a particular Series, and are further limited by the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company (as amended from time to time, the “Operating Agreement”), described further herein.  Investors will have voting rights only with respect to certain matters, primarily relating to amendments to the Operating Agreement that would adversely change the rights of the Interest Holders and removal of the Manager for “cause.”  The Manager and the Asset Manager thus retain significant control over the management of the Company, each Series and the Underlying Assets.  Furthermore, because the Interests in a Series do not constitute an investment in the Company as a whole, holders of the Interests in a Series are not expected to receive any economic benefit from the assets of, or be subject to the liabilities of, any other Series.  In addition, the economic Interest of a holder in a Series will not be identical to owning a direct undivided Interest in an Underlying Asset because, among other things, a 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 Underlying Asset.

This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict.  Neither the Company nor any other Rally Entity can guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting the Company, the Manager, the Asset Manager, the Platform or the PPEX ATS 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. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information.

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

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 Platform or the PPEX ATS (as defined below), via third party registered broker-dealers or otherwise. 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. Please see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 for a description of some of the risks that should be considered before investing in the Interests.

GENERALLY, NO SALE MAY BE MADE TO YOU IN ANY OFFERING IF THE AGGREGATE PURCHASE PRICE YOU PAY IS MORE THAN 10% OF THE GREATER OF YOUR ANNUAL INCOME OR NET WORTH. DIFFERENT RULES APPLY TO ACCREDITED INVESTORS AND NON-NATURAL PERSONS. BEFORE MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT YOUR INVESTMENT DOES NOT EXCEED APPLICABLE THRESHOLDS, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW RULE 251(d)(2)(i)(C) OF

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF THE STATES OF TEXAS AND WASHINGTON:

WE ARE LIMITING THE OFFER AND SALE OF SECURITIES IN THE STATES OF TEXAS AND WASHINGTON TO A MAXIMUM OF $5 MILLION IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not pass upon the merits of or give its approval to any securities offered or the terms of the Offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any Offering Circular or other solicitation materials. These securities are offered pursuant to an exemption from registration with the Commission; however, the Commission has not made an independent determination that the securities offered are exempt from registration. This Offering Circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor may there be any sales of these securities in, any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful before registration or qualification of the offer and sale under the laws of such state.

CAUTIONARY NOTE 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, the Asset Manager, each Series of the Company, the Platform and the PPEX ATS (as 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 any other Rally Entity can guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting the Company, the Manager, the Asset Manager, the Platform or the PPEX ATS 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.

Trademarks and Trade Names

From time to time, we own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that we use in connection with the operation of our business. This Offering Circular may also contain trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. Our use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this Offering Circular is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with us or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of us. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this Offering Circular may appear without the ®, TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these trademarks, service marks and trade names.

Additional Information

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with additional information or information different from that contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular filed with the Commission. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, certain Series of Interests only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular is accurate only as of the date of such information, regardless of the time of delivery of this Offering Circular or any sale of a Series of Interests. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may have changed since that date.

OFFERING SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere or incorporated herein and in the Exhibits filed with the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.  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 on August 24, 2016. 

Underlying Assets  
and Offering Price

Per Interest: The Company’s core business is the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of collectible items, including collectible automobiles, memorabilia, alcohol and digital assets (collectively, the “Collectible Assets”), as the Underlying Assets of the Company. 

It is not anticipated that any Series will own any assets other than its respective Underlying Asset, plus cash reserves for maintenance, storage, insurance and other expenses pertaining to each Underlying Asset and amounts earned by each Series from the monetization of the Underlying Asset.

The Underlying Asset for each Series and the Offering price per Interest for each Series is detailed in “Description of Series” in Appendix B and the Master Series Table in Appendix A.

Securities Offered:Investors will acquire membership Interests in a Series of the Company, each of which is intended to be separate for purposes of assets and liabilities.  It is intended that owners of Interests in a Series have only an Interest in assets, liabilities, profits, losses and distributions pertaining to the specific Underlying Asset owned by that Series and the related operations of that Series.  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 Operating Agreement.  The purchase of membership Interests in a Series of the Company is an investment only in that Series (and with respect to that Series’ Underlying Asset) and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) the Company, (ii) any other Series of Interests, (iii) Rally Holdings, (iv) the Manager, (v) the Asset Manager, (vi) the Platform or (vii) the Underlying Asset associated with the Series or any Underlying Asset owned by any other Series of Interests. 

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.” Furthermore, the Manager anticipates only accepting subscriptions from prospective Investors located in states where the BOR is registered. 

Manager:RSE Collection Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the Manager of the Company and will be the Manager of each Series. The Manager, together with its affiliates, will own a minimum of 1% of the Interests of each Series as of the Closing of an Offering.     

Advisory Board:  The Manager has assembled an expert network of advisors with experience in the Asset Class (an “Advisory Board”) to assist the Manager and the Asset Manager in identifying, acquiring and managing Underlying Assets, as well as other aspects of the Platform.  


3



Broker: The Company has entered into an agreement with the BOR. The BOR acts as broker of record and is entitled to a Brokerage Fee (as defined below). The sale of membership Interests is being facilitated by the BOR, which is registered as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and in each state where the offer or sales of the Interests will occur, and is a member of FINRA and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (the “SIPC”). It is anticipated that Interests will be offered and sold only in states where the BOR is registered as a broker-dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, the BOR does not and will not solicit purchases of Interests or make any recommendations regarding the Interests to prospective Investors. 

Custodian: The Company has entered into an agreement with the Custodian, a New Jersey limited liability company and a broker-dealer which is registered with the Commission and in each state where the offer or sale of the Interests in Series of the Company will occur and with such other regulators as may be required to create brokerage accounts for each Investor for the purpose of holding the Interests issued in any of the Company’s Offerings.  Each Investor’s brokerage account will be created as part of the account creation process on the Platform and all Investors who previously purchased Interests in Offerings of the Company, ongoing or closed, will be required to opt-in to allow the Custodian to create a brokerage account for them and transfer previously issued Interests into such brokerage accounts. The Custodian is a member of FINRA and the SIPC. 

Transfer Agent:The Company has entered into an agreement with RSE Transfer Agent LLC, a registered transfer agent affiliated with the Company, to perform transfer agent functions with respect to the Interests of the Series. 

Minimum

Interest Purchase:The minimum subscription by an Investor is one (1) Interest in a Series. The Manager and/or its affiliates must purchase a minimum of 1% of Interests of each Series as of the Closing of its Offering. The purchase price, which is calculated as the Offering price per Interest times the number of Interests purchased, will be payable in cash at the time of subscription.  

 

Offering Size:The Company may offer a Total Minimum and a Total Maximum of Interests in each Offering as detailed for each Series highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table in Appendix A. Series not highlighted in gray have completed their respective Offerings at the time of this filing and the number of Interests in the table represents the actual Interests sold in each respective Offering. 

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 the Escrow Agent until there is a Closing with respect to the applicable Series. Upon the occurrence of a Closing, the subscription funds will be transferred from the escrow account to the operating account for the applicable Series.  The subscription funds will not be transferred to the operating account of such Series unless and until there is a Closing with respect to that Series. 

When the Escrow Agent has received instructions from the Manager or the BOR 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 operating account of the Series. Amounts paid to the Escrow Agent are categorized as Offering Expenses (as defined below).

If the applicable 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


4



without interest.  Any costs and expenses associated with a terminated Offering will be borne by the Manager.

Offering Period:There will be a separate Closing for each Offering. The Closing of an Offering for a particular Series will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date that subscriptions for the Total Maximum Interests of such Series have been accepted by the Manager or (ii) a date determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, provided that subscriptions for the Total Minimum Interests of such Series have been accepted.  If the Closing for a Series has not occurred, the applicable 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 such Offering in its sole discretion. In the case where the Company enters into a purchase option agreement, the Offering may never be launched, or a Closing may not occur, in the event that the Company does not exercise the purchase option before the purchase option agreement’s expiration date. 

Lock-Up Period:The Rally Entities shall be subject to a 90-day lock-up period starting the day of Closing for any Interests which it purchases in an Offering.  

Additional Investors:An Asset Seller may be issued Interests of such applicable Series as a portion of the total purchase consideration for such Underlying Asset. Any Asset Seller may also purchase a portion of the Interests in a Series beyond such Interests issued as consideration. 

Use of Proceeds: The gross proceeds received by a Series from its respective Offering will be applied in the following order of priority upon the Closing:  

 

(i) “Brokerage Fee”: A fee payable to the BOR equal to 1.00% of the gross proceeds of each Offering, as compensation for brokerage services;

 

(ii) Acquisition Cost of the Underlying Asset: Actual cost of the Underlying Asset paid to the Asset Seller (which may have occurred prior to the Closing).

 

The Company typically acquires Underlying Assets through the following methods:

 

1.Upfront purchase - the Company acquires an Underlying Asset from an Asset Seller prior to the launch of the Offering related to the Series 

2.Purchase agreement - the Company enters into an agreement with an Asset Seller to acquire an Underlying Asset, which may expire prior to the Closing of the Offering for the related Series, in which case the Company is obligated to acquire the Underlying Asset prior to the Closing 

3.Purchase option agreement - the Company enters into a purchase option agreement with an Asset Seller, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Underlying Asset 

 

The Company’s acquisition method for each Underlying Asset is noted in the Series Detail Table relating to each respective Underlying Asset in Appendix B.

 

(iii) “Offering Expenses”: In general, these costs include actual legal, accounting, escrow, filing, wire-transfer and compliance costs and custody fees incurred by the Company in connection with an Offering (and excludes ongoing costs described in Operating Expenses (as defined below)), as applicable, paid to legal advisors, brokerage firms, escrow agents, underwriters, printing companies, financial institutions, accounting firms and the Custodian, as the case may be. The custody fee, as of the date hereof, is a fee payable to the Custodian equal to 0.75% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, but at a minimum of $500 per Offering (the “Custody Fee”), as compensation for custody service related to


5



the Interests issued and placed into Custodian brokerage accounts on behalf of the Interest Holders. In the case of each Series notated in the Master Series Table in Appendix A, the Custody Fee will be funded from proceeds of the respective Offering unless otherwise noted.

 

(iv) “Acquisition Expenses”: These include costs associated with the evaluation, investigation and acquisition of the Underlying Asset, plus any interest accrued on loans made to the Company by the Manager or the Asset Manager, an affiliate of the Manager or Asset Manager, a director, an officer or a third party, in each case for funds used to acquire the Underlying Asset or any options in respect of such purchase. Except as otherwise noted, any such loans by affiliates of the Company accrue interest at the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), and any other loans accrue interest as described herein.

 

(v) “Sourcing Fee”: A fee paid to the Manager as compensation for identifying and managing the acquisition of the Underlying Asset, not to exceed the maximum Sourcing Fee for the applicable Series, as detailed in the Master Series Table in Appendix A for each respective Series.

 

The Manager or the Asset Manager pays the Offering Expenses and Acquisition Expenses on behalf of each Series and is reimbursed by the Series from the proceeds of a successful Offering. See the “Use of Proceeds” section for each respective Series in Appendix B and the “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure - Fees and Expenses section for further details.

Operating Expenses:Operating Expenses” are costs and expenses, allocated in accordance with the Company’s expense allocation policy (see “Description of the Business – Allocations of Expenses” section), attributable to the activities of each Series 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 the registrar and 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 or the Asset Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Operating Expenses incurred prior to the Closing with respect to each Offering notated in the Master Series Table in Appendix A. Offerings, for which no Closing has occurred are highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table in Appendix A.

Operating Expenses of a Series incurred post-Closing shall be the responsibility of the applicable Series.  However, if the Operating Expenses of a particular Series exceed the amount of reserves retained by or revenues generated from the applicable Underlying Asset, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to such Series, on


6



which the Manager or the Asset 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 applicable Underlying Asset (an “Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation”), or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in the applicable Series in order to cover such additional amounts.

No revenue models have been developed at the Company or Series level, and we do not expect either the Company or any of its Series to generate any revenues for some time. We will update the appropriate disclosure at such time as revenue models have been developed. We expect each Series to incur Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations, or for the Manager or the Asset Manager to pay such Operating Expenses incurred and not seek reimbursement, to the extent such Series does not have sufficient reserves for such expenses.  See discussion of “Description of the Business – Operating Expenses” for additional information.

Further Issuance of

Interests: A further issuance of Interests of a Series may be made in the event the Operating Expenses of that Series exceed the income generated from its Underlying Asset and cash reserves of that Series.  This may occur if the Company does not take out sufficient amounts under an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation or if the Manager or the Asset Manager does not pay for such Operating Expenses without seeking reimbursement. See “Dilution” for additional information. 

Asset Manager:The Asset Manager is Rally Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.  

Platform and PPEX

ATS:Rally Holdings owns and operates a mobile app-based and web browser-based investment platform (the “Platform”) through which substantially all of the sales of the Interests are executed and through which resale transactions may be initiated for execution by registered broker-dealers during Trading Windows (as defined below).  On November 23, 2021, the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System (the “PPEX ATS”) was launched as a venue available for facilitating resale transactions in certain Series of Interests. The PPEX ATS is an electronic alternative trading system with a Form ATS on file with the Commission and is owned and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“NCPS”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC.  Registered broker-dealers and certain institutional customers who become members of the PPEX ATS, including the Executing Broker, will have access to the PPEX ATS.  The PPEX ATS is not accessible to non-members or the general public, and Investors will have no direct interaction with NCPS.  When trading through the PPEX ATS, which is presently available with respect to only certain Series of Interests, Investors submit bid and ask quotes on the Platform to purchase or sell Interests, with any transactions to be executed by the Executing Broker and matched through the PPEX ATS.  Resale transactions in other Series of Interests will continue to be effectuated through the Platform during Trading Windows until the PPEX ATS is available for facilitating resale transactions in such Series of Interests.  We expect that resale transactions with respect to all Series of Interests will be effectuated through the PPEX ATS in the first quarter of 2022.  See “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” below for additional information on the execution of resale transactions. 

 

Free Cash Flow: Free Cash Flow for a particular Series equals its net income (as determined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) plus any change in net working capital and depreciation and amortization (and any other non-cash Operating Expenses) less any capital expenditures related to its Underlying Asset.  The Manager may maintain Free Cash  


7



Flow funds in separate deposit accounts or investment accounts for the benefit of each Series.

Management Fee:As compensation for the services provided by the Asset Manager under the Asset Management Agreement (see “Description of the Business” – “Description of the Asset Management Agreement” for additional information) for each Series, the Asset Manager is paid a semi-annual fee of up to 50% of any Free Cash Flow generated by a particular Series (the “Management Fee”).  The Management Fee only becomes 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 each Series. 

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

·repay any amounts outstanding under Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations for that Series, plus accrued interest; 

·thereafter to create such reserves for that Series as the Manager deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to meet future Operating Expenses of that Series;  

·thereafter, no less than 50% (net of corporate income taxes applicable to that Series) by way of distribution to the Interest Holders of that Series, which may include the Asset Seller of its Underlying Asset or the Manager or any of its affiliates, based on each Interest Holder’s pro rata share of Interests of that Series; and 

·thereafter, up to 50% to the Asset Manager in payment of the Management Fee for that Series. 

Following the sale of the Underlying Asset associated with a Series and the liquidation of such Series, any Free Cash Flow generated from such liquidating sale of the Underlying Asset shall be applied by that Series in the following order of priority:

 

·repay any amounts outstanding under liabilities of the Series, including potential Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations for that Series, plus accrued interest; 

·thereafter, withhold any amounts required for federal, state and local corporate taxes related to the sale of the Underlying Asset; and 

·thereafter, by distribution to the Interest Holders of that Series, which may include the Asset Seller of its Underlying Asset or the Manager or any of its affiliates, based on each Interest Holder’s pro rata share of Interests of that Series. 

 

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


8



Indemnification:None of the Rally Entities,  nor any of their respective current or former directors, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, members, controlling persons, agents or independent contractors, members of the Advisory Board, nor persons acting at the request of the Company or any Series in certain capacities with respect to other Rally 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 a 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 Company or, where relevant, each Series of the Company (whether offered hereunder or otherwise) 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 or a specific Underlying Asset, the costs of meeting any indemnification obligation will be allocated pro rata across each Series based on the value of each Underlying Asset.

Transfers:The Manager may refuse a transfer by an Interest Holder of its Interests if such transfer would result in (a) there being more than 2,000 beneficial owners of a Series or more than 500 beneficial owners of a Series that are not “accredited investors,”  (b) the assets of a Series being deemed plan assets for purposes of ERISA (as described in “Plan of Distribution” – “Investor Suitability Standards”), (c) such Interest Holder holding in excess of 19.9% of a Series, (d) a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Company and/or a Series, or (e) the Company, any Series, the Manager, the Asset Manager or any of their affiliates 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 as permitted by applicable state securities laws.  See “Description of Interests Offered – Transfer Restrictions” for more information. 

 

Governing Law:To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and the Operating Agreement are 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, except where federal law requires that certain claims be brought in federal courts, as in the case of claims brought under the Exchange Act.   Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the Delaware exclusive forum provision set forth in the Operating Agreement will not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or otherwise limit the rights of any Investor to bring any claim under such laws, rules or regulations in any United States federal district court of competent jurisdiction.  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 to the extent the claim is not vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, or for which the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or where exclusive jurisdiction is not permitted under applicable law.

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, that you will earn a return on your investment in Interests or that a secondary market would ever develop for the Interests, whether through the Platform or the PPEX ATS (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information), via third party registered broker-dealers or otherwise. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or not presently deemed material by us might also impair our operations and performance and/or the value of the Interests. If any of these risks actually occur, the value of the Interests may be materially adversely affected. 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 an Offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the Company or directly in any Underlying Asset.

 

An Investor in an Offering will acquire an ownership Interest in the Series of Interests related to that Offering and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) the Company, (ii) any other Series of Interests, (iii) the Manager, (iv) the Asset Manager, (v) the Platform or (vi) directly in the Underlying Asset associated with the Series or any Underlying Asset owned by any other Series of Interests. This results in limited voting rights of the Investor, which are solely related to a particular Series, and are further limited by the Operating Agreement of the Company, described further herein.  Investors will have voting rights only with respect to certain matters, primarily relating to amendments to the Operating Agreement that would adversely change the rights of the Interest Holders and removal of the Manager for “cause.”  The Manager thus retains significant control over the management of the Company and each Series and the Asset Manager thus retains significant control over the Underlying Assets.  Furthermore, because the Interests in a Series do not constitute an investment in the Company as a whole, holders of the Interests in a Series are not expected to receive any economic benefit from the assets of, or be subject to the liabilities of, any other Series.  In addition, the economic Interest of a holder in a Series will not be identical to owning a direct undivided Interest in an Underlying Asset because, among other things, a 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 Underlying Asset.

 

There is currently no active trading market for our securities. An active market in which Investors can resell their Interests may not develop or be sustainable.

Currently no active trading market for any Interests exists, and an active market may not develop or be sustainable, whether public or private.  If an active public or private trading market for our securities does not develop or is not sustainable, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your Interests at any price.  Although there is a possibility that the Platform, which is a discretionary and irregular matching service of a registered broker-dealer, or the PPEX ATS, which is a venue for facilitating secondary trading of Interests of certain Series via a non-discretionary matching service (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information), may permit some liquidity, neither the Platform nor the PPEX ATS operates like a stock exchange or other traditional trading markets. The Trading Windows (as described in “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”) for Interests may occur infrequently and may be open for only short time periods. There can be no assurance that a matching transaction will be found for any given Investor who attempts to purchase or sell an Interest in a Trading Window.  Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that any broker will continue to provide these services or that the Company or the Manager will pay any fees or other amounts that would be required to maintain that service.  Without any such matching service, it may be difficult or impossible for you to dispose of your Interests, and even if there is such a matching service you might not be able to effect a resale at a desired price or at all.  Accordingly, you may have no liquidity for your Interests, particularly if the Underlying Asset in respect of that Interest is never sold.  Even if a public or private market does develop for a Series, the price of the Interests at which you could sell your Interests might be below the amount you paid for them.


10



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 brokers and dealers 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 or dealer 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.  In addition, Tier 2 of Regulation A limits qualified resales of our Interests to 30% of the aggregate Offering price of a particular Offering. 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, or opinions to our satisfaction that no such registration or qualification is required.

We do not have a significant operating history and, as a result, there is a limited amount of information about us on which to base an investment decision.

 

The Company and each Series were formed in the last six years.  No Series has generated any revenues, and we have a limited operating history upon which prospective Investors may evaluate their performance.  Our short operating history may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives and makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations.  No revenue models have been developed at the Company or Series level, and we do not expect either the Company or any of its Series to generate any revenues for some time.  We will update the appropriate disclosure at such time as revenue models have been developed.  See the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section for additional information.  No guarantee can be given that the Company or any Series will achieve their investment objectives, the value of any Underlying Asset will increase, or any Underlying Asset will be successfully monetized.

There can be no guarantee that the Company will reach its funding target from potential Investors with respect to any Series or future proposed Series of Interests.

Due to the start-up nature of the Company and the Manager, there can be no guarantee that the Company will reach its funding target from potential Investors with respect to any Series 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 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 may 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 Collectible Assets).

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

We believe the number of other companies conducting similar offerings in the Asset Class or proposing to run a platform for the purchase of Interests in the Asset Class is limited to date. Two businesses that are affiliated with the Company, RSE Archive, LLC and RSE Innovation, LLC, have pursued a similar strategy with different asset classes. The Company and the Interests may not gain market acceptance from potential Investors, potential Asset Sellers or service providers within the Asset Class’ industry, including insurance companies, storage facilities or maintenance partners.  This could result in an inability of the Asset Manager to operate the Underlying Assets 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 may 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 insurance and the ability to monetize Underlying Assets through Museums or other Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) that would require the Company to own a substantial number of Underlying Assets).


11



The Offering amount exceeds the value of the Underlying Asset.

The size of each Offering will exceed the purchase price of the related Underlying Asset as of the date of such Offering (as the net 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 the Offering and acquiring the Underlying Asset).  If an Underlying Asset were to be sold and there had not been substantial appreciation of the value 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 Underlying Asset at the time of the sale including but not limited to any outstanding Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation) or any additional profits in excess of that amount.

Excess Operating Expenses could materially and adversely affect the value of Interests and result in dilution to Investors.

Operating Expenses related to a particular Series incurred post-Closing shall be the responsibility of the Series.  However, if the Operating Expenses of a particular Series exceed the amount of revenues generated from the Underlying Asset of such Series, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the particular Series, on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and be entitled to Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations, or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in such Series in order to cover such additional amounts.

If there is an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, this reimbursable amount between related parties would be repaid from the Free Cash Flow generated by the applicable Series and could reduce the amount of any future distributions payable to Investors in that Series.  If additional Interests are issued in a particular Series, this would dilute the current value of the Interests of that Series held by existing Investors and the amount of any future distributions payable to such existing Investors.  Further, any additional issuance of Interests of a Series could result in dilution of the holders of that Series.

We are reliant on the Manager, Asset Manager and RSE Markets, including the Asset Manager’s personnel and the officers of RSE Markets. Our business and operations could be adversely affected if the Asset Manager loses key personnel or RSE Markets loses officers.

 

The successful operation of the Company (and therefore, the success of the Interests) is in part dependent on the ability of the Manager and the Asset Manager to source, acquire and manage the Underlying Assets and for Rally Holdings to maintain the Platform.  As the Manager and Asset Manager have been in existence only since March 2021 and October 2020, respectively, and are early-stage startup companies, they have no significant operating history. Further, while the Asset Manager will also be the Asset Manager for RSE Archive, LLC, a series limited liability company with a similar business model in the collectible and memorabilia asset class, and RSE Innovation, LLC, a series limited liability company with a similar business model in a different asset class, and thus has some similar management experience, its experience is limited, and it has limited experience selecting or managing assets in the Asset Class.

In addition, the success of the Company (and, therefore, the Interests) is highly dependent on the expertise and performance of the Manager, the Asset Manager, RSE Markets and their respective teams; the Asset Manager’s expert network; and other investment professionals (which may include third parties) to source, acquire and manage the Underlying Assets.  There can be no assurance that these individuals will continue to be associated with the Manager, the Asset Manager or RSE Markets.  The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a material and adverse effect on the Underlying Assets and, in particular, their ongoing management and use to support the investment of the Interest Holders.

Furthermore, there are a number of key factors that will potentially impact the Company’s operating results going forward, including the ability of the Asset Manager to:

·continue to source high quality Collectible Assets at reasonable prices to securitize through the Platform; 


12



·market the Platform and the Offerings in individual Series of the Company and attract Investors to the Platform to acquire the Interests issued by Series of the Company; 

·find and retain operating partners to support the regulatory and technology infrastructure necessary to operate the Platform; 

·continue to develop the Platform and provide the information and technology infrastructure to support the issuance of Interests in Series of the Company; and 

·find operating partners to manage the collection of Underlying Assets at a decreasing marginal cost per asset. 

Finally, the success of the Company and the value of the Interests is dependent on there being a critical mass from the market for the Interests and the Company’s ability to acquire a number of Underlying Assets in multiple Series of Interests so that the Investors can benefit from economies of scale which may 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 each Series by hindering its ability to acquire additional Underlying Assets through the issuance of further Series of Interests and monetize them together with other Underlying Assets at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to generate distributions for Investors.

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.

The Company is structured as a Delaware series limited liability company that issues a separate Series of Interests for each Underlying Asset.  Each Series of Interests 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 continue 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 a Series 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 a particular Series to its 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, as of the date of this Offering Circular, the Series highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table in Appendix A have not commenced operations, are not capitalized and have no assets or liabilities and no such Series will commence operations, be capitalized or have assets and liabilities until such time as a Closing related to such Series has occurred.

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 (which may include future Series of Interests to be issued).  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


13



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.

We maintain physical, technical, and administrative security measures designed to protect our systems against cyber-attacks and unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data.  If these efforts are not successful, our business and operations could be disrupted, our operating results and reputation could be harmed, and the value of the Interests could be materially and adversely affected.

The highly automated nature of the Platform, through which potential Investors may acquire or transfer Interests, and the PPEX ATS, through which potential Investors may transfer Interests in certain Series, may make them attractive targets to cyber threat actors. The Platform and the PPEX ATS process certain confidential information about Investors, the Asset Sellers, and the Underlying Assets. While we maintain commercially reasonable measures to protect this confidential information and our information systems, security incidents involving the Platform, the PPEX ATS, the Company, the Asset Manager, the Manager, or any of their respective service providers remain a risk. And because we do not operate the PPEX ATS, we do not control the measures taken to protect the PPEX ATS from cyber threats.  Unauthorized access to or disclosure or acquisition of confidential information, whether accidental or intentional, can lead to harm such as identity theft and fraud. Security incidents could also expose the Company to liability related to the loss of confidential information, such as time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity, regulatory investigations and penalties, as well as the degradation of the proprietary nature of the trade secrets of the Asset Manager, the Manager, and the Company. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance, or otherwise, or if design flaws in the Platform or the PPEX ATS software are exposed and exploited, the relationships between the Company, Investors, users, third-party vendors and the Asset Sellers could be severely damaged, and the Company, the Asset Manager, or the Manager could incur significant liability.  Security incidents can also disrupt business operations, diverting attention from utilization of the Underlying Assets and causing a material negative impact on the value of Interests or the potential for distributions to be made on the Interests.

Because techniques and malware used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and may not be captured by existing security tools and software, the Company, the third-party hosting service used by the Platform or the PPEX ATS, and other third-party service providers may be unable to prevent all cyber-attacks. 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 can be costly to implement and often lead to negative publicity, which may cause Investors, the Asset Sellers, or service providers within the industry, including insurance companies, to lose confidence in the effectiveness of the secure nature of the Platform or the PPEX ATS. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm the reputation of the Asset Manager, the Manager, the Company, the Platform and the PPEX ATS, and the Company could lose Investors and the Asset Sellers as a result thereof. 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 at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”).

 

System limitations or failures could harm our business and may cause the Asset Manager or Manager to intervene into activity on our Platform.

Our business depends in large part on the integrity and performance of the technology, computer and communications systems supporting the business. If new systems fail to operate as intended or our existing systems cannot expand to cope with increased demand or otherwise fail to perform, we could experience unanticipated disruptions in service, slower response times and delays in the introduction of new products and services. These consequences could result in service outages through the Platform and during Trading Windows (as described in “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”), resulting in decreased customer satisfaction and regulatory sanctions and adverse effects on primary issuances or Trading Windows.

The Platform has experienced systems failures and delays in the past and could experience future systems failures and delays. In such cases the Asset Manager has and may in the future (along with the Manager) take corrective actions as it reasonably believes are in the best interests of Investors or potential Investors. For example,


14



our technology system has in certain instances over-counted the number of subscriptions made in an initial Offering, when volume of subscriptions has rapidly increased. In these cases, the Asset Manager has confirmed with the Investors to remove the duplicate subscriptions and, rather than opening the Offering back up for additional Investors, has purchased the Interests underlying such duplicate subscriptions for its own account on the same terms as all other Investors would purchase such Interests.

If subscription or trading volumes in the future increase unexpectedly or other unanticipated events occur, we may need to expand and upgrade our technology, transaction processing systems and network infrastructure. We do not know whether we will be able to accurately project the rate, timing or cost of any volume increases, or expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate any increases in a timely manner.

While we have programs in place to identify and minimize our exposure to vulnerabilities and to share corrective measures with our business partners, we cannot guarantee that such events will not occur in the future. Any system issue that causes an interruption in services, including the Platform and the PPEX ATS, decreases the responsiveness of our services or otherwise affects our services could impair our reputation, damage our brand name and negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

Privacy regulation is an evolving area and compliance with applicable privacy regulations may increase our operating costs or adversely impact our ability to service our clients.

 

Because we store, process and use data, some of which contains personal information, we are subject to complex and evolving federal, state and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection and other matters. While we believe we are currently in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in investigations, claims, changes to our business practices, increased cost of operations and declines in user growth, retention or engagement, any of which could seriously harm our business.

The Platform and the PPEX ATS are highly technical and may be at a risk to malfunction.

Our Platform and the PPEX ATS are complex systems composed of many interoperating components and incorporates software that is highly complex. Our business is dependent upon our ability to prevent system interruption on the Platform and the PPEX ATS. Our software, including open source software that is incorporated into our code, and the software supporting the PPEX ATS, may now or in the future contain undetected errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities. Some errors in our software code may only be discovered after the code has been released. Bugs in our software, third-party software including open source software that is incorporated into our code, misconfigurations of our systems, and unintended interactions between systems could cause downtime that would impact the availability of our service to Platform users. We have from time to time found defects or errors in our system and may discover additional defects in the future that could result in Platform unavailability or system disruption. In addition, we have experienced outages on the Platform due to circumstances within our control, such as outages due to software limitations. We rely on Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”) data centers for the operation of the Platform. If the AWS data centers fail, Platform users may experience down time. If sustained or repeated, any of these outages could reduce the attractiveness of the Platform to users. In addition, our release of new software in the past has inadvertently caused, and may in the future cause, interruptions in the availability or functionality of the Platform. Any errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities discovered in our code or systems after release could result in an interruption in the availability of the Platform or a negative experience for users and Investors and could also result in negative publicity and unfavorable media coverage, damage to our reputation, loss of users, loss of revenue or liability for damages, regulatory inquiries, or other proceedings, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.  The PPEX ATS faces risks similar to those described above.

There can be no guarantee that any liquidity mechanism for secondary sales of Interests will develop on our Platform or the PPEX ATS in the manner described, that registered broker-dealers will desire to facilitate liquidity in the Interests for a level of fees that would be acceptable to Investors or at all, that such Trading Windows will


15



occur with high frequency if at all, that a market-clearing price (e.g., a price at which there is overlap between bid and ask prices) will be established during any Trading Window or that any buy or sell orders will be filled.

 

We anticipate that liquidity will be limited until sufficient interest has been generated on the Platform, which may never occur (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information).  Under the current system of secondary trading, liquidity for the Interests in large part depends on the market supply of and demand for Interests during the Trading Window (as described in “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”), as well as applicable laws and restrictions under the Company’s Operating Agreement. It is anticipated, however, that such Trading Windows will happen on a recurring basis, although there can be no assurance that Trading Windows for a Series will occur on a regular basis or at all.  And though the implementation of the PPEX ATS will permit Investors to post offers to buy and sell Interests outside the times of the Trading Windows, secondary transactions of Interests will continue to be limited to such Trading Windows, and there is no guarantee that an Investor will be able to sell Interests at a desired price or at all. Further, the frequency and duration of any Trading Window will initially be determined by the Company but will be subject to adjustment by the brokers or, when trading occurs through the PPEX ATS, at the sole discretion of NCPS in its capacity as operator of the PPEX ATS.

There can be no guarantee that the Manager will continue to pay for commissions due to the Executing Broker in connection with trades executed on the PPEX ATS.

 

With respect to secondary trading via the PPEX ATS, the Manager, at its sole discretion, may from time-to-time cover the commission owed to the Executing Broker in respect of executed transfers of Interests, but there is no assurance that this practice will continue permanently, and Investors may subsequently be required to pay such commission in order to participate in secondary market transactions (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information).

Abuse of our advertising or social platforms may harm our reputation or user engagement.

The Asset Manager provides content or posts ads about the Company and Series through various social media platforms that may be influenced by third parties. Our reputation or user engagement may be negatively affected by activity that is hostile or inappropriate to other people, by users impersonating other people or organizations, by disseminating information about us or to us that may be viewed as misleading or intended to manipulate the opinions of our users, or by the use of the Asset Manager’s products or services, including the Platform, that violates our terms of service or otherwise for objectionable or illegal ends. Preventing these actions may require us to make substantial investments in people and technology and these investments may not be successful, adversely affecting our business. 

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed, or we could be required to incur significant expenses to enforce our rights.

Our ability to compete effectively is dependent in part upon our ability to protect our proprietary technology.  We rely on trademarks, trade secret laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect our intellectual property rights.  There can be no assurance these protections will be available in all cases or will be adequate to prevent our competitors from copying, reverse engineering or otherwise obtaining and using our technology, proprietary rights or products. To prevent substantial unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, it may be necessary to prosecute actions for infringement and/or misappropriation of our proprietary rights against third parties.  Any such action could result in significant costs and diversion of our resources and management’s attention, and there can be no assurance we will be successful in such action.  If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and on the value of the Interests.

Our results of operations are likely to continue to be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic, which has resulted in significant disruption and uncertainty in the global economic markets. The spread of COVID-19 created a worldwide public-health crisis that disrupted and that continues to affect the global economy.  COVID-19 (or variants of COVID-19, including the Delta variant) continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world and has resulted in authorities implementing varying measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. The long-term impacts of the outbreak


16



and of the responses to it are unknown and will continue to evolve, and they could negatively impact the value of the Underlying Assets and Investor demand for Offerings and the Asset Class generally.

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that COVID-19 could cause further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, governmental or societal actions and responses following the lifting of containment efforts could have unforeseeable economic consequences that adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. As vaccinations become readily available, we cannot predict what impacts may result from any current or future vaccine mandates at the federal, state or local level. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could continue to be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

To date, we do not believe that COVID-19 has had a material adverse effect on our business. However, we continue to closely monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and assess any negative impacts to our business. The extent to which COVID-19 and the response to the pandemic continue to impact our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, actions taken to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, and any mutations or variations that affect the efficacy of vaccines and other containment measures, among others.

 

Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect our business.

Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases could adversely affect the value of the Underlying Assets and our Investors or prospective Investors financial condition, resulting in reduced demand for the Offerings and the Asset Class generally. Further, such risks could cause a decrease in the attendance of our Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”), or cause certain of our partners to avoid holding in person events. Moreover, an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak or other public health crisis, such as COVID-19, could cause employees of the Asset Manager, on whom we rely to manage the logistics of our business, including Membership Experience Programs, or on-site employees of partners to avoid any involvement with our Membership Experience Programs, which would adversely affect our ability to hold such events or to adequately staff and manage our businesses.  “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities could also disrupt our operations, if employees who cannot perform their responsibilities from home, are not able to report to work. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our facilities or operations of our sourcing partners for the Underlying Assets. 

Risks Relating to the Offerings

We are offering our Interests pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A, 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 are 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.  The differences between disclosures for Tier 2 issuers versus those for emerging growth companies include, without limitation, needing to file only semiannual reports as opposed to quarterly reports and far fewer circumstances where a current disclosure would be required.  In addition, given the relative lack of regulatory precedent regarding the recent amendments to Regulation A, there is some regulatory uncertainty in regard 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 to which we may be subject.  For example, a number of states have yet to determine the


17



types of filings and amount of fees that are required for such an Offering.  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 Underlying Assets and create economies of scale, which may adversely affect the value of the Interests or the ability to make distributions to Investors.

We are required to periodically assess our internal control over financial reporting. If deficiencies or material weaknesses are identified, we may not be able to report our financial condition or results of operations accurately or timely, which may result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports, significant expenses to remediate any internal control deficiencies, and ultimately have an adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

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. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential regulatory investigations, civil or criminal sanctions and class action litigation.

If either the Manager or Asset Manager is required to register as a broker-dealer, the Manager or Asset Manager may be required to cease operations and any Series of Interests offered and sold without such proper registration may be subject to a right of rescission.

The sale of membership Interests is being facilitated by the BOR, a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act and member of FINRA, which is registered in each state where the offer or sales of the Interests will occur. It is anticipated that Interests will be offered and sold only in states where the BOR is registered as a broker-dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, the BOR will not solicit purchases and will not make any recommendations regarding the Interests. Neither the BOR, nor any other entity, receives a finder’s fee or any underwriting or placement agent discounts or commissions in relation to any Offering of Interests. If the Asset Manager, or the Manager, neither of which is a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act or any state securities laws, has itself engaged in brokerage activities that require registration, including the initial sale of the Interests on the Platform and permitting a registered broker-dealer to facilitate resales or other liquidity of the Interests on the Platform or the PPEX ATS (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information), the Manager or the Asset Manager may need to stop operating and, therefore, the Company would not have an entity managing the Series’ Underlying Assets. In addition, if the Manager or Asset Manager is ultimately found to have engaged in activities requiring registration as “broker-dealer” without either being properly registered as such, there is a risk that any Series of Interests offered and sold while the Manager or Asset Manager was not so registered may be subject to a right of rescission, which may result in the early termination of the Offerings.  We have been made aware by the staff of the Commission (the “SEC Staff”) that certain activities of affiliates of the Manager and Asset Manager may have required such registration, and the matter is under investigation by the SEC Staff.

If the Platform is ultimately found to be a securities exchange or alternative trading system, we may be required to cease operating the Platform while we are still reliant on it for secondary trading in some Series of Interests, and such cessation would materially and adversely affect your ability to transfer your Interests.

We have been made aware by the SEC Staff that the Platform (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform”) operated by the Asset Manager may be a securities exchange or alternative trading system under the Exchange Act, and the matter is under investigation by the SEC Staff.  If it is ultimately determined that the Platform is a securities exchange or alternative trading system then we would be required to register as a securities exchange or broker-dealer, either of which would significantly increase the overhead expenses of the Asset Manager and could cause the Asset Manager to wind down the Platform before the PPEX ATS is available for resale transactions for all Series of Interests.  Further, if we are ultimately found to be in violation of the Exchange Act due to operation of an


18



unregistered exchange, we could be subject to significant monetary penalties, censure or other actions that may have a material and adverse effect on the Asset Manager and may require it to cease operating the Platform before the PPEX ATS is available for resale transactions for all Series of Interests or otherwise be unable to maintain the Platform, which would materially and adversely affect your ability to transfer your Interests.

Changes in government policy, legislation or regulatory or judicial interpretations could hinder or prevent us from conducting our business operations, including by hindering or preventing our ability to enforce our rights related to the Underlying Assets or conduct offerings of securities.

Changes in government policy, legislation or regulatory or judicial interpretations could hinder or prevent us from conducting our business operations, including by hindering or preventing us from enforcing our rights related to the Underlying Assets or conducting offerings of securities. The agreements by which we acquire any Underlying Assets are intended to be effective for the terms set forth in each respective “Description of Series” and “Series Detail Table” in Appendix B and may be terminated only as specified in the underlying asset purchase agreement. Any changes in or interpretations of current laws and regulations could require us to increase our compliance expenditures, inhibit our ability to source Underlying Assets or cause us to significantly alter or to discontinue offering Interests of Series. Altering the terms of a purchase agreement governing Underlying Assets to comply with changes in or interpretations of applicable laws and regulations could require significant legal expenditures, increase the cost of acquiring, holding and managing Underlying Assets or make Series less attractive to investors. In addition, our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could lead to significant penalties, fines or other sanctions. If we are unable to effectively respond to any such changes or comply with existing and future laws and regulations, our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.

If we are required to register any Series of Interests under the Exchange Act, it would result in significant expense and reporting requirements that would place a burden on the Manager and Asset Manager and may divert attention from management of the Underlying Assets by the Manager and Asset Manager or could cause the Asset Manager to no longer be able to afford to run our business.

Subject to certain exceptions, Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act requires an issuer with more than $10 million in total assets to register a class of its equity securities with the Commission under the Exchange Act if the securities of such class are held of record at the end of its fiscal year by more than 2,000 persons or 500 persons who are not “accredited investors.”  While our Operating Agreement presently prohibits any transfer that would result in any Series being beneficially owned by more than 2,000 persons or 500 non-“accredited investors,” the Manager has the right to waive, and for a number of Series has waived, this prohibition.  To the extent the Section 12(g) assets and holders limits are exceeded, we intend to rely upon a conditional exemption from registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act contained in Rule 12g5-1(a)(7) under the Exchange Act (the “Reg. A+ Exemption”), which exemption generally requires that the issuer (i) be current in its Form 1-K, 1-SA and 1-U filings as of its most recently completed fiscal year end; (ii) engage a transfer agent that is registered under Section 17A(c) of the Exchange Act to perform transfer agent functions; and (iii) have a public float of less than $75 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed semi-annual period or, in the event the result of such public float calculation is zero, have annual revenues of less than $50 million as of its most recently completed fiscal year.  If the number of record holders of any Series of Interests exceeds either of the limits set forth in Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and we fail to qualify for the Reg. A+ Exemption, we would be required to register such Series with the Commission under the Exchange Act. If we are required to register any Series of Interests under the Exchange Act, it would result in significant expense and reporting requirements that would place a burden on the Manager and Asset Manager and may divert attention from management of the Underlying Assets by the Manager and Asset Manager or could cause the Asset Manager to no longer be able to afford to run our business.

If the Company were to be required to register under the Investment Company Act or the Manager or the Asset 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 each Series, and the Manager and the Asset Manager may be forced to liquidate and wind up each Series of Interests or rescind the Offerings for any of the Series of Interests.

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 neither the Manager nor the Asset Manager is or will be registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the


19



Investment Advisers Act”), and the Interests do not have the benefit of the protections of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act. The Company, the Manager and the Asset Manager have taken the position that the Underlying Assets are not “securities” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act, and thus the Company’s assets will consist of less than 40% investment securities under the Investment Company Act and the Manager and the Asset Manager are not and will not be 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 or the Asset 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 each Series and the Manager and the Asset Manager may be forced to liquidate and wind up each Series of Interests or rescind the Offerings for any of the Series or the Offering for any other Series of Interests.

Possible changes in federal tax laws may have unpredictable adverse effects on the Company.

The Code (as defined and described in “Material United States Tax Considerations”) 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 Interests 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 Industry and the Asset Class

 

We rely on data from past auction sales and insurance data, among other sources, in determining the value of the Underlying Assets, and have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information.  As such, valuations of the Underlying Assets may be subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

As explained in “Description of the Business,” the Asset Class is difficult to value, and it is hoped the Platform and the PPEX ATS will help 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 the Asset Class than currently exists.  Until the Platform, or the PPEX ATS, has created such a market, valuations of the Underlying Assets will be based upon the subjective assessments made by the members of the Manager’s expert network and members of the Advisory Board, valuation experts appointed by the Asset Seller or other data provided by third parties (e.g., auction results, accident records and previous sales history). Due to the lack of third-party valuation reports and potential for one-of-a-kind assets, the value of the Underlying Assets may be more difficult for potential Investors to compare against a market benchmark. Furthermore, if similar assets to the Underlying Assets are created or discovered it could in turn negatively impact the value of the Underlying Assets. The Manager sources data from past auction sales results and insurance data; however, it may rely on the accuracy of the underlying data without any means of detailed verification.  Consequently, valuations may be uncertain.

The Asset Class requires a high level of expertise to understand both the basic product as well as the formatting and packaging of an item.  Given the materials used for particular Collectible Assets, some may be relatively easy to replicate or otherwise forge.  In addition, the history of ownership and provenance of a particular Underlying Asset may not be complete.  As a result, we are highly reliant on the trusted name of the brand, retailer, authenticator or other conduit to ensure the integrity of the product.  While there is no guarantee that an Underlying Asset will be free of fraud, we attempt to mitigate this risk by having the item graded or authenticated by a reputable firm.  In the event of an authenticity claim against an authenticated item, the Company may have recourse for reimbursement from the authenticator, although there can be no guarantee of the Company’s ability to collect or the authenticator’s ability to pay.

Furthermore, authenticators may occasionally make mistakes by either giving their approval or grade to a counterfeit card or piece of memorabilia.  Sometimes this mistake is not uncovered until years later when evidence to the contrary surfaces or updated scientific methods are applied.  The Company may not have recourse, if such an event occurs, and the value of the Underlying Asset will likely deteriorate.  A piece of an Underlying Asset may also be


20



mislabeled by an authenticator such as giving it the wrong year or attributing it to the wrong person, which may adversely affect its value. Finally, there is reputational risk of the authenticator, which may fall out of favor with collectors, which may impact the value of all items authenticated by the particular authenticator.

Older vintages of alcohol-related Underlying Assets add in another layer of complexity given the lack of transparency, published records and expert knowledge of a particular alcohol-related Underlying Asset, vintage or bottle format.  Fraudulent bottles in the industry are often the result of older bottles being reconstituted and sold as an alcohol-related Underlying Asset other than what is actually contained in the bottle.

Government regulation specific to alcohol-related Underlying Assets may adversely affect the value of such assets.

Alcohol is regulated and can be sold only to individuals of drinking age, over twenty-one in the United States.   

In the United States a three-tiered distribution system gives individual states the ability to regulate how alcohol is sold. Alcohol has regulation around who has access to it, who is able to purchase it and how it is owned.  There are regulatory restrictions around licensed entities and how they transact alcohol.  Each state regulates alcohol individually from one another, which creates unique and complex regulatory requirements.

Imported alcohol in most international jurisdictions is subject to importing and export regulations which may include excise tax, customs declarations and extensive administrative requirements.  As such, imported alcohol is subject to more regulation and to the rules and regulations in the country or state to which it is being sold.

Should trade policies between countries change or social perceptions alter, imported alcohol may suffer disproportionately to domestically produced alcohol.  Given the complexity of the regulatory environment and the regulated nature of the product, any changes in the regulatory environment have the ability to impact the value or liquidity of alcohol.  

We do not currently hold any of the necessary licenses related to alcohol and, as such, plan to partner with third parties that are in possession of the necessary licenses, if these were required to run the business, or we may decide not to acquire alcohol-related Underlying Assets at all.  There can be no guarantee that we will find any third parties with the appropriate licenses to partner with.

The complicated and overlapping systems of regulating alcohol in the United States may adversely impact our ability to either acquire or dispose of an alcohol-related Underlying Asset on a favorable basis.

 

The United States maintains separate systems at the federal and state levels for the buying, selling and transportation of alcohol.  Certain states have restrictions on licensing requirements as well as where and how alcohol can be bought and sold.  Most states maintain three tiers of distribution where there is an importer/distributor, a retailer and then the consumer.  In some states the quantity of alcohol that can be purchased directly is limited or non-existent. In other instances, the state maintains the supply of alcohol and how it is sold into the consumer markets.  Further, this three-tiered system is subject to constant change and periodic regulatory challenge.  As such, the complex and fluid nature of the three-tier system could materially and adversely impact our ability to ether obtain alcohol-related Underlying Assets or our ability to divest such Underlying Assets on a favorable basis.

Demand for the assets in the Asset Class has been volatile, and potential negative changes within the Asset Class could materially adversely affect the value of Underlying Assets.

 

The Asset Class has been subject to volatility in demand in recent periods, particularly around certain categories of assets and investor tastes (e.g., trading cards).  Demand for high value Collectible Assets depends to a large extent on general, economic, political, and social conditions in a given market as well as the tastes of the collector community and in the case of sports, the general fan community resulting in changes of which Collectible Assets are most sought after.  Volatility in demand may lead to volatility in the value of the Underlying Assets, 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 at the


21



Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to generate distributions for Investors.

The Asset Class 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 Asset Class in general, including, but not limited to, economic downturns and other challenges affecting the global economy (including the recent COVID-19 pandemic) and the availability of desirable Collectible Assets.  Given the concentrated nature of the Underlying Assets any downturn in the Asset Class is likely to impact the value of the Underlying Assets, and consequently the value of the Interests. Popularity within categories of the broader market (e.g. baseball or football) can impact the value of the Underlying Assets within categories of the Asset Class (e.g. baseball cards or football jerseys), and consequently the value of the Interests.

Interests are not diversified investments.

 

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

There can be no assurance that the market for NFTs will be sustained, which may materially adversely affect the value of NFTs, and consequently the value of related Series and the amount of distributions made to Interest Holders.

The market for digital assets, including, without limitation, non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), whether related to digital art or otherwise, is still nascent, with most growth having occurred in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.  Accordingly, the market for NFTs may not maintain current levels of value or growth. If such levels are not maintained, it may be difficult or impossible for us to resell any underlying NFT asset at a desirable price or at all.  The prices of NFTs have already been subject to dramatic fluctuations, which in turn may materially adversely affect any Series for which the Underlying Asset is an NFT.

 

There is currently no insurance available for digital assets, and future costly insurance for digital assets may adversely impact the value of related Series and the amount of distributions made to Interest Holders.

There is currently no insurance available for digital assets, and insurance may never be available from traditional providers, so the Manager self-insures underlying digital assets on behalf of the Company.  Accordingly, until traditional insurance is available for digital assets, protection of digital assets through insurance is solely dependent on the Manager, and thus dependent on the Manager’s expertise and performance.

 

Should traditional insurance become available, the cost of protecting digital assets may be substantial and may vary from year to year depending on changes in the insurance rates for covering the underlying digital assets.  If costs are higher than expected, resulting expenses could adversely affect the value of the Series, the amount of distributions made to Interest Holders of the Series, potential proceeds from a sale of the related underlying digital asset (if any) and any capital proceeds returned to Investors after paying for any outstanding liabilities.

 

The technology underlying blockchain technology is subject to a number of known and unknown technological challenges and risks that result in decline in value of underlying digital assets.

The blockchain technology used in connection with digital assets, which is sometimes referred to as “distributed ledger technology,” is a relatively new, untested and evolving technology. It represents a novel combination of several concepts, including a publicly available database or ledger that represents the total ownership of digital assets at any one time, novel methods of authenticating transactions using cryptography across distributed network nodes that permit decentralization by eliminating the need for a central clearinghouse while guaranteeing that transactions are irreversible and consistent, differing methods of incentivizing this authentication by the use of blocks of new tokens issued as rewards for the validator of each new block or transaction fees paid by participants in a transaction to validators, and hard limits on the aggregate amount of digital assets that may be issued.  Because of the


22



new and untested nature of blockchain technology, digital assets are vulnerable to risks and challenges, both foreseen and unforeseen.

 

For example, the consensus protocol for processing transactions may change, and transactions in digital assets may not be processed as presently contemplated in the period during or after the switch in consensus protocols, which may materially and adversely affect the transfer or storage of underlying digital assets. Although there may be solutions that have been proposed and implemented to these and other challenges facing various digital assets, the effectiveness of these solutions has not been proven. Further, legislatures and regulatory agencies could prohibit the use of current or future cryptographic protocols that could result in a significant loss of value or the termination of digital assets. Accordingly, the further development and future viability of digital assets in general is uncertain, and unknown challenges may prevent their wider adoption.

The technology underlying blockchain technology is subject to a number of industry-wide challenges and risks relating to consumer acceptance of blockchain technology. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of blockchain networks and blockchain assets would have a material adverse effect on the successful adoption of the tokens. The value of underlying digital assets, and consequently the value of related series and the amount of distributions made to holders of interests, may be materially adversely affected as a result.

The growth of the blockchain industry is subject to a high degree of uncertainty regarding consumer adoption and long-term development. The factors affecting the further development of the blockchain and digital asset industry include, without limitation:

 

·worldwide growth in the adoption and use of digital assets and other blockchain technologies; 

·government and quasi-government regulation of digital assets and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of blockchain networks or similar systems; 

·the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of blockchain networks; 

·changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences; 

·the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, or trading assets, including new means of using government-backed currencies or existing networks; 

·the extent to which current interest in digital assets represents a speculative “bubble”; 

·general economic conditions in the United States and the world; 

·the regulatory environment relating to digital assets and blockchains; and 

·a decline in the popularity or acceptance of digital assets or other blockchain-based tokens. 

 

The digital asset industry as a whole has been characterized by rapid changes and innovations and is constantly evolving. Although it has experienced significant growth in recent years, the slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain networks and blockchain assets may deter or delay the acceptance and adoption of digital assets.

 

The slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain networks or blockchain assets may adversely impact the value of underlying digital assets or NFTs, as applicable, and consequently, the Series related to the digital Underlying Asset, as well as decrease the likelihood of any distributions being made by us to the Investors. The value of specific underlying digital assets, and consequently the value of related Series, relies on the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of the applicable blockchain network in that demand depends on ability to readily access the applicable network.

 

The Ethereum blockchain network on which the ERC-721 protocol is based, and thus ownership and transfer of underlying NFT assets are recorded, utilizes code that is subject to change at any time. These changes may have unintended consequences for underlying NFT assets.

Currently, most NFT assets are built as ERC-721 tokens recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. In addition to the aforementioned risks regarding development and acceptance of blockchain networks, other changes, such as upgrades to Ethereum’s blockchain or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Ethereum blockchain, may have unintended, adverse effects on NFTs built under the ERC-721 standard. Any such changes to the Ethereum network could negatively affect the value of any underlying NFT assets based on Ethereum blockchain.


23



The regulatory regime governing digital assets is still developing, and regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of an investment in digital assets or restrict the use of digital assets in a manner that adversely affects investors and our business plans.

The regulation of digital assets and digital asset exchanges are currently under-developed and likely to rapidly evolve and vary significantly among U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions and are subject to significant uncertainty. Existing laws and regulations may apply to digital assets in ways that are uncertain or that could impair the value of digital assets in which we invest as Underlying Assets. Additionally, as digital assets have grown in both popularity and market size, governments have reacted differently to digital assets. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States, and other countries, have enacted or adopted, or are considering enacting or adopting, laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions that could adversely impact the Company and the value of the digital assets in which we may invest as Underlying Assets. Our failure to comply with any laws, rules and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including criminal and civil penalties and fines against the Company. New or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations could have material adverse consequences to you and the Company, including the transferability of digital assets, the value of digital assets, the liquidity and market price of digital assets, and your ability to access marketplaces that trade digital assets.

 

Risks Relating to the Underlying Assets

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 of an Underlying Asset and do not necessarily correlate to the price at which the Interests may be sold on the Platform or the PPEX ATS.  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.

Competition in the Asset Class from other business models could limit our share of the market.

With the continued increase in popularity of the Asset Class, we expect competition for Collectible Assets to intensify in the future.  There is potentially significant competition for Underlying Assets in the Asset Class from a wide variety of market participants.  While the majority of transactions in which we obtain Underlying Assets continues to be peer-to-peer with very limited public information, other market players such as dealers, trade fairs and auction houses may 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.  Furthermore, the presence of corporations such as eBay or Amazon or direct to consumer players in the Asset Class will continue to increase the level of competition from non-traditional players.

This continually increasing level of competition may impact the liquidity of some or all of the Interests, as liquidity is, among other things, dependent on the Company acquiring attractive and desirable Underlying Assets. This helps ensure that there is an appetite of potential Investors for the Interests. In addition, there are companies that have developed business models similar to ours for comparable or other alternative asset classes.

The value of some Underlying Assets may depend on a prior user or association, the reputation or relational value of which is subject to changes in the general sentiment of the underlying fan base and other changes.

 

The value of an Underlying Asset may be subject to changes in the general sentiment of the underlying fan base. This is particularly prominent in sports memorabilia, but also holds true for memorabilia categories such as movie franchises, musicians, and others.  For example, leagues such as the NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL have a long and reputable fan base.  However, events, such as player strikes, general public appeal of a league or a particular sport, may have an impact on the associated Underlying Assets.  For instance, the NHL strike of 1994-1995 caused a loss of fan interest.  Upstart leagues such as the USFL in football may cause an early interest in memorabilia from that league but may lose interest from lack of success. Various forms of Collectible Assets go in and out of favor with collectors.


24



The value of a Collectible Asset is likely to be connected to its association with, a certain person or group or in connection with certain events (prior to or following the acquisition of the Underlying Asset by the Company). In the event that such person, group or event loses public affection, then this may adversely impact the value of the Collectible Asset and therefore, the Series of Interests that relate to such Underlying Asset. For example, San Francisco Giants’ outfielder Barry Bonds was on a career path to becoming a first-ballot Hall of Famer due to his home run records. At the turn of the century his game used memorabilia and cards were at a premium. However, steroid use and a poor public image not only put his Hall of Fame election in doubt but also damaged the value of his memorabilia. The same can also be said for a promising rookie whose career either ends prematurely due to injury or does not meet all the early expectations placed on them. There may be some loss of confidence if the producer of the Underlying Assets had been making false claims of organic or sustainable practices. Any false statements regarding practices of production, including the use of chemicals, may negatively impact the value of the Underlying Asset.

The value of some Underlying Assets may depend on the brand or the producer of the Underlying Asset, and the reputation of a brand or producer is subject to change.

The Underlying Assets of the Company consist of Collectible Assets 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 Underlying Assets that manufacturers are producing today.  In addition, the manufacturers’ business practices may result in the image and value of the Underlying Assets 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 Asset.  For example, the reputation of a manufacturer of certain sporting equipment that is used by a prominent player may impact the collectability of such equipment, or the reputation of an Underlying Asset producer that experiences an acquisition or loss of perceived independence, may impact the collectability of Underlying Assets as part of a larger portfolio.  There may also be instances where the production location for the Underlying Assets may have been affected by climatic or political events that limit the ability to produce the product at the same level.

Title, authenticity or infringement claims on an Underlying Asset can materially adversely affect its value.

There is no guarantee that an Underlying Asset will be free of any claims regarding title and authenticity (e.g., counterfeit or previously stolen items) even after verification through a third-party authenticator, 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 an Underlying Asset.  In the event of a title or authenticity claim against the Company, the Company may not have recourse against the Asset Seller or the benefit of insurance, and the value of the Underlying Asset and the Series that relates to that Underlying Asset may be diminished.  Furthermore, the Company and the Underlying Asset could be adversely affected if a piece of memorabilia, such as a sports card, was found to have been created without all appropriate consents, such as consent from the athlete or league.  

Third party liability may attach to an Underlying Asset and thereby reach the Series related thereto.

Each Series assumes all of the ownership risks attached to its Underlying Asset, including third party liability risks.  Therefore, a Series may be liable to a third party for any loss or damages incurred by such third party in connection with the Series’ Underlying Asset.  This would be a loss to the Series and, in turn, adversely affect the value of the Series and would negatively impact the ability of the Series to make distributions.

An Underlying Asset may be lost or damaged by causes beyond the Company’s control while being transported or when in storage or on display.  Insurance may not cover all losses, and there can be no guarantee that insurance proceeds will be sufficient to pay the full market value of an Underlying Asset which has been damaged or lost which will result in a material and adverse effect in the value of the related Interests.


25



Any Underlying Asset may be lost or damaged by causes beyond the Company’s control when in storage or on display.  There is also a possibility that an Underlying Asset could be lost or damaged at Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”). Any damage to an 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 an Underlying Asset has been purchased, it will be necessary to transport it to the Asset Manager’s preferred storage location or as required to participate in Membership Experience Programs.  An 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 Assets 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 an 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.  Insurance of any 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 a Series’ economic position with respect to its affected Underlying Asset.  Furthermore, the Series 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 a decrease in value of, the affected Underlying Asset and, consequently, the Series that relates to such Underlying Asset.

In addition, at a future date, the Manager may decide to expand the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to include items where individual Investors or independent third parties may be able to become the caretaker of Underlying Assets 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 any 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 any Underlying Asset if utilized in such models.

Digital assets in which we may invest are subject to risks of loss and theft that differ from physical assets.

Distributed ledgers are used to record transfers of ownership of digital assets, which are custodied, or “held,” in digital wallets, or “wallets,” and are solely represented by ledger balances and secured by cryptographic key pairs, a public key for transfers into the respective cryptographic wallet and a private key for accessing the subject cryptographic wallet and managing the digital assets held therein.  Only the public key address will be generally exposed to the public on the respective distributed ledger. The associated private key is necessary to affect the sale or transfer of digital assets and is meant to be kept private.

 

As such, digital assets are vulnerable to loss.  Particularly, if the Manager (or other custodian, as applicable) loses the key and is also unable to access a wallet via device-specific password, any digital assets held in such wallet will be permanently lost.  While the Manager intends to employ commercially reasonable measures to prevent any such loss, there is no guarantee that such a loss will not occur.

 

Similarly, digital assets may also be as vulnerable to cyber theft as a traditional online brokerage account would be. In particular, if the Manager (or other custodian, as applicable) is hacked and any one or more of the private keys or the seed phrase are stolen, the thief could transfer the digital assets to its own account and/or sell such digital assets (as applicable).  Further, while the Manager intends to employ commercially reasonable measures to prevent any such data breach, there is no guarantee that such a data breach will not occur or that if such a breach were to occur that it could be detected in time to prevent the unauthorized sale, transfer or use of the affected digital assets.

Digital asset transactions may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions or technology failures in the Manager’s wallet may not be recoverable.


26



Digital assets are bearer assets, with whoever holds the asset being the owner.  Accordingly, digital asset transactions may be irreversible, and the Manager may irreversibly lose an underlying digital asset in a variety of circumstances, including in connection with fraudulent or accidental transactions, technology failures in wallet software or cyber-security breaches.  Losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.

Ownership of underlying digital assets is recorded via blockchain technology, which may be the target of malicious cyberattacks or may contain exploitable flaws in its underlying code.  Such vulnerabilities may result in security breaches or the loss, decline in value or theft of underlying digital assets.

Underlying digital assets rely on blockchain technology to operate and are therefore subject to a number of reliability and security risks attendant to blockchain and distributed ledger technology, including malicious attacks seeking to identify and exploit weaknesses in the software.  Such attacks may materially and adversely affect the blockchain, which may in turn materially and adversely affect the transfer or storage of underlying digital assets.  As a result of these and other risks of malicious attacks, there can be no assurances that the transfer or storage of digital Underlying Assets will be uninterrupted or fully secure.  Any such interruption or security failure may result in impermissible transfers, decline in value or a complete loss of underlying digital assets.

We may be forced to sell Underlying Assets at inopportune times, resulting in lower returns available to Investors.

The Company may be forced to cause its various Series to sell one or more of the Underlying Assets (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 Assets were first acquired or at a lower price than the aggregate of costs, fees and expenses used to purchase the Underlying Assets.  In addition, there may be liabilities related to the Underlying Assets, including, but not limited to, Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations on the balance sheet of any Series 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 from any Underlying Asset and, therefore, the return available to Investors of the applicable Series may be lower than could have been obtained if the Series held the Underlying Asset and sold it at a later date.

Investors may not receive distributions or a return of capital.

The revenue of each Series is expected to be derived primarily from the use of its Underlying Asset in Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) 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.  In the event that the revenue generated in any given year does not cover the Operating Expenses of the applicable Series, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) provide a loan to the Series in the form of an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation, on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and/or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in the applicable Series in order to cover such additional amounts.

Any amount paid to the Manager or the Asset Manager in satisfaction of an Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation would not be available to Investors as a distribution.  In the event additional Interests in a Series are issued, Investors in such Series would be diluted and would receive a smaller portion of distributions from future Free Cash Flows, if any.  Furthermore, if a Series or the Company 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 may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Interests of the related Series” for further details on the risks of escalating costs and expenses of the Underlying Assets.

Market manipulation or overproduction may adversely affect the value of Underlying Assets.

Market manipulation may be a risk with respect to the Asset Class. For example, one trading card manufacturer was caught secretly producing examples of hard to find and valuable cards that were given to its executives. This loss of faith in the company led to a devaluation of the cards involved. Another example is that a  


27



modern football and baseball player is issued many uniforms over the course of a season. The more a team issues, the less exclusive said item becomes. Also, many players have exclusive contracts with outlets that sell the players game used uniforms and equipment. There is no way of knowing if a company or player is secretly hoarding items which might be “dumped” in the market at a later date. For certain sub-categories of the Asset Class, such as alcohol, there is a risk that assets similar or comparable to an alcohol-related Underlying Asset may have been sold at auction, at retail or on an exchange that sets a valuation that may not accurately represent the market. The traditional auction process for Collection Assets depends on private investors, independent brokers and insider relationships.  As a result, an investment in a Series of Interests may be highly illiquid.  In addition, the pricing inefficiencies caused by the distribution system can afford an opportunity for collectors or third parties to stockpile Collectible Assets for eventual sale back into the market.  Sudden changes in supply may impact market pricing of a particular Underlying Asset. 

Environmental damage could impact the value of an Underlying Asset which would result in a material and adverse effect in the value of the related Interests.

Improper storage may lead to the full or partial destruction of an Underlying Asset. For instance, trading cards, tickets, posters or other paper piece can be destroyed by exposure to water or moisture. Likewise, equipment such as a bat may warp, or a leather glove may grow mold due to exposure to the elements. Autographs that are signed with inferior writing instruments or rendered on an unstable substrate may fade or “bleed,” thereby reducing its value to collectors. 

Some of the defects may not be initially visible or apparent, for example moisture in a frame, and may only become visible at a later date, at which point the value of the Underlying Asset and in turn the Series may be impacted.  

The Asset Class demands specific requirements for proper long-term storage that take into account temperature, humidity, movement and exposure to sunlight (See “Description of the Business – Facilities” for additional information).  For certain sub-categories of the Asset Class, such as alcohol, all of these factors can influence the aromas, aging process and overall integrity of the alcohol-related Underlying Assets. Exposure to water, extreme heat or cold can dramatically impact the quality of an alcohol-related Underlying Asset, for instance the bottle label can be destroyed by exposure to water or excessive moisture or the cork that maintains the quality and prevents oxygen from entering a bottle can become less reliable if exposed to the wrong environment.

Testing for environmental exposures targets the quality of the enclosure, the label and the bottles.  The alcohol-related Underlying Asset can also be tested for excessive exposure to heat or cold and will be reflected in the quality relative to its age and known provenance.  The chemistry of an alcohol-related Underlying Asset can be confirmed in testing but most environment impact testing is subject to expert tasting, unless smoke taint or other chemical exposures are a concern for the product. Specifically, for wine, use of testing methods such as a Coravin, diminishes the value of a bottle of wine by exposing it to outside influences.  The Coravin wine tasting and preservation system uses a medical grade needle to inject Argon gas into a cork that then allows for a sample of wine to be removed from the bottle without exposing it to excessive oxygen by not having to open it at all. The use of a Coravin diminishes the value of the bottle by exposing it to outside influences. Similarly, testing methods such as carbon dating, can be expensive relative to the cost of an alcohol-related Underlying Asset and therefore could impact both the cash flow and value.  

Potentially high storage, maintenance and insurance costs for the Underlying Assets may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Interests of the related Series.

In order to protect and care for the Underlying Assets, the Manager must ensure adequate storage facilities, insurance coverage and, if required, maintenance work.  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, and if required, the amount of maintenance performed.  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, insurance and maintenance 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.


28



If costs turn out to be higher than expected, this would impact the value of the Interests related to an Underlying Asset, the amount of distributions made to Investors holding the Interests, 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 Obligations. See “Investors may not receive distributions or a return of capital” for further details of the impact of these costs on returns to Investors.

Refurbishment processes or an inability to source original parts may adversely affect the value of the Underlying Assets.

There may be situations in the future that require the Company to undertake refurbishments of an Underlying Asset (e.g., due to natural wear and tear and through the use of such Underlying Assets at Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”)).  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, any failure on the part of a contractor to perform its obligations could adversely impact the value of any Underlying Assets and therefore, the value of the Interests related to such Underlying Assets.

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 any Underlying Assets 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 Assets and therefore, the value of the related Interests, may be materially adversely affected.  Furthermore, if any Underlying Asset is damaged, we may be unable to source original and authentic parts for that Underlying Asset, and the use of non-original or inauthentic parts may decrease the value of the Underlying Asset.

Drinking windows for alcohol-related Underlying Assets may not align with the timing of Trading Windows or ultimate sale of an alcohol-related Underlying Asset.

Some alcohol-related Underlying Assets, such as bottles of wine or whiskey, are often valued in the open market or at auctions based on the drinking window attributed to it upon release to the market. Drinking windows are essentially a range of years when an alcohol-related Underlying Asset will be optimal for drinking.  Drinking windows are highly subjective and are a function of the weather during the production season, the experience of the taster, as well as the environment during the tasting.  Theoretically, a drinking window is applied to an alcohol-related Underlying Asset that is stored in ideal conditions and allowed to age in that environment. Variations in storage and the environment an alcohol-related Underlying Asset is exposed to can change the accuracy of a drinking window. Drinking windows are reviewed in the course of asset selection to determine relative value, but there can be no guarantee they are accurate or applicable to every alcohol-related Underlying Asset. As the drinking window closes, the alcohol, in particular wine, will start to lose the integration of its components including the distinct flavors and floral scents; the color, smell and taste will all reflect the closing of the drinking window.  The color will start to appear brown, the nose will start to lose its characteristics and the flavor will eventually fade to a dusty, musty expression of its former self. A wine of a certain vintage will eventually become undrinkable, which will likely materially and adversely affect the value of an alcohol-related Underlying Asset of such a vintage

There is no guarantee that digital assets will hold their value or increase in value, and you may lose the amount of your investment in a related Series in whole or in part.

Digital assets are highly speculative, and any return on an investment in a series holding a digital asset as its Underlying Asset is contingent upon numerous circumstances, many of which (including legal and regulatory conditions) are beyond our control.  There is no assurance that Investors will realize any return on their investments or that their entire investment will not be lost.


29



In particular, digital assets are a new and relatively untested asset class.  There is considerable uncertainty about their long-term viability, which could be affected by a variety of factors, including many market-based factors such as economic growth and others. In addition, the success of digital assets will depend on whether blockchain and other new technologies related to such assets are useful and economically viable over time.

The prices of digital assets are extremely volatile, and such volatility may have a material adverse effect on the value of digital Underlying Assets, the value of related Series and the amount of distributions made to Interest Holders.

 

The prices of digital assets have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile, and the market price of digital Underlying Assets may also be highly volatile, which in turn may result in a decline in value of the related Series and the amount of distributions made to Interests Holders of such Series.  Several factors may influence the market price of digital Underlying Assets, including, but not limited to:

 

·the availability of an exchange or other trading platform for digital assets; 

·general adoption of online digital asset exchanges and digital wallets that hold digital assets, the perception that the use and holding of digital assets as safe and secure and the regulatory restrictions on their use; 

·changes in the software, software requirements or hardware requirements underlying any digital assets;   

·interruptions in service from or failures of a major digital asset exchange on which digital assets are traded; 

·investment and trading activities of large purchasers, including private and registered funds, that may directly or indirectly invest in digital assets; 

·coordinated algorithmic behavior, including trading, by a large pool of small digital token holders; 

·regulatory measures, if any, that affect the use or holding of digital assets; 

·global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; and 

·expectations among participants that the value of digital assets will soon change. 

 

In addition, decreases in the price of even a single other digital asset may cause volatility in the entire digital asset industry and may affect the value of other digital assets, including any digital Underlying Assets.  For example, a security breach or any other incident or set of circumstances that affects purchaser or user confidence in a well-known digital asset may affect the industry as a whole and may also cause the price of other digital assets, including NFTs, to fluctuate.

The value of digital art NFTs relies in part on the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain assets, rather than solely on the digital artwork itself.

Digital art NFTs are a means to establish proof of ownership of digital art through cryptographic key pairs, the public key of the creator(s) or artist(s) who created the digital artwork and the private key of the holder representing a verified instance (whether unique or part of a series) of that digital artwork.  The purchase of a digital art NFT gives the holder the right to hold, transfer and/or sell the NFT. The NFT does not itself include any physical manifestation of the digital art. The value of digital art NFTs is derived from the cryptographic record of ownership, rather than solely on the digital artwork itself; a digital artwork originated as an NFT (i.e., the actual file or files constituting the artwork of which ownership is represented by an NFT) may have no value absent the NFT, depending on what other rights were conveyed with the NFT, for example a copyright interest that could be transferred separate from the NFT. Thus, the value of the digital art NFT relies in part on the continued development, acceptance, adoption and usage of the applicable blockchain.

Underlying Assets may not be held long term.

The Company intends to cause each Series to hold its respective Underlying Asset for an extended period but may receive offers to purchase the Series’ Underlying Asset in its entirety. If the Advisory Board deems the sale to be generally beneficial to the majority of Series’ Interest Holders, the Underlying Asset may be liquidated, with proceeds of the sale distributed to its Series’ Interest Holders. Even though the Advisory Board deems the sale to be  


30



generally beneficial to the majority of Series’ Interest Holders, there might be unique circumstances where not all Series’ Interest Holders align with the Advisory Board’s decision.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Interests

Investors’ limited voting rights restrict their ability to affect the operations of the Company or a Series.

The Manager has a unilateral ability to amend the Operating Agreement and the allocation policy in certain circumstances without the consent of the Investors.  The Investors only have limited voting rights in respect of the 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 applicable Series, upon which the Investors do not get a right to vote. 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 in very limited circumstances, namely, following a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Manager 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 is a derivative result of our negotiations with Asset Sellers 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 each 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.

The Manager has unlimited discretion to issue additional Interests in any one or more Series, which could be issued at a price lower than the original Offering price or for no consideration, and which could materially and adversely affect the value of Interests and result in dilution to Investors.

 

Under our Operating Agreement, the Manager has the authority to cause the Company to issue Interests to Investors as well as to other persons for less than the original Offering prices (or for no consideration) and on such terms as the Manager may determine, subject to the terms of the Series Designation applicable to such Series of Interests. If additional Interests are issued in a particular Series, this would dilute the current value of the Interests of that Series held by existing Investors and the amount of any future distributions payable to such existing Investors. Further, any additional issuance of Interests of a Series could result in dilution of the holders of that Series. See “DILUTION.”

 

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, through the Platform or the PPEX ATS (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information) or otherwise, the market price of the Interests could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including reasons unrelated to our performance, any Underlying Asset or any Series, 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 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,


31



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.

The funds paid by a subscriber for Interests will be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account until the admission of the subscriber as an Investor in the applicable Series, if such subscription is accepted. Purchasers will not have the use of such funds or receive interest thereon pending the completion of the Offering. No subscriptions will be accepted, and no Interests will be sold unless valid subscriptions for the Offering are received and accepted prior to the termination of the applicable Offering. It is also anticipated that subscriptions will not be accepted from prospective Investors located in states where the BOR is not registered as a broker-dealer. If we terminate an Offering prior to accepting a subscriber’s subscription, escrowed funds will be returned promptly, without interest or deduction, to the proposed Investor.

Any dispute in relation to the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, except where federal law requires that certain claims be brought in federal courts.  Our Operating Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, provides for Investors to waive their right to a jury trial.

 

Each Investor will covenant and agree not to bring any claim in any venue other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if required by federal law, a federal court of the United States, as in the case of claims brought under the Exchange Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.  Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction, and Investors will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

If an Interest Holder were to bring a claim against the Company or the Manager pursuant to the Operating Agreement and such claim was governed by state law, it would have to bring such claim in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Our Operating Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to limited exceptions, provides for Investors to consent to exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and for a waiver of the right to a trial by jury, if such waiver is allowed by the court where the claim is brought.

 

If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by the United States Supreme Court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of Delaware, which govern our Operating Agreement, by a federal or state court in the State of Delaware, which has exclusive jurisdiction over matters arising under the Operating Agreement. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial.

 

We believe that this is the case with respect to our Operating Agreement and our Interests. It is advisable that you consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the Operating Agreement.  Nevertheless, if this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the Operating Agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the Operating Agreement or our Interests serves as a waiver by any Investor or beneficial owner of our Interests or by us of compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Additionally, the Company does not believe that claims under the federal securities laws shall be subject to the jury trial waiver provision, and the


32



Company believes that the provision does not impact the rights of any Investor or beneficial owner of our Interests to bring claims under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

These provisions may have the effect of limiting the ability of Investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations and may limit an Investor’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us. Furthermore, waiver of a trial by jury may disadvantage an Investor to the extent a judge might be less likely than a jury to resolve an action in the Investor’s favor. Further, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, an action or proceeding against us, then we may incur additional costs associated with resolving these matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

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 Asset Manager, 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.

Operating Agreement reduces or eliminates 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.

Lack of 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, Asset 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 Asset 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 a particular Series of Interests.

Members of the expert network and the Advisory Board are often dealers and brokers within the Asset Class themselves and therefore will be incentivized to sell the Company their own Underlying Assets at potentially inflated market prices. In certain cases, a member of the Advisory Board could be the Asset Seller and could receive an identification fee for originally locating the asset. In the case of the Series Ford Mustang 7-Up Edition, for example, a previous member of the Advisory Board was the seller of the Underlying Asset. The Manager believes the purchase price of the Series Ford Mustang 7-Up Edition to be fair market value.  

An Asset Seller may be issued Interests in a Series as part of the total purchase consideration to the Asset Seller and in such circumstances the Asset Seller may benefit from the Manager’s advice, along with the potential for returns without incurring fees to manage the asset.

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 Investor).  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 case of the Series Ford Mustang 7-Up Edition, for example, a previous member of the Advisory Board retained a minority equity stake in the Underlying Asset.

In the event that the Operating Expenses exceed the revenue from an 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 which


34



the Underlying Asset relates, 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 a particular Series on any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation may be economically more beneficial to Interest Holders of that Series than the dilution incurred from the issuance of additional Interests.

The Manager determines the timing and amount of distributions made to Investors from Free Cash Flow of a particular Series. As a consequence, the Manager also determines the timing and amount of payments made to the Asset Manager, since payments to the Asset Manager are only made if distributions of Free Cash Flow are made to the Investors. Since an affiliate of the Manager has been appointed the Asset Manager, the Manager may thus be incentivized to make distributions of Free Cash Flow more frequently and in greater quantities rather than leaving excess Free Cash Flow on the balance sheet of a particular Series to cover future Operating Expenses, which may be more beneficial to a particular Series.  

Potential future brokerage activity

The Asset Manager or an affiliate 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 Platform or the PPEX ATS.  The Asset Manager, or its affiliate, may be entitled to receive fees based on volume of trading and volatility of the Interests on the Platform and such fees may be in excess of what Rally Holdings receives as the Asset Manager, 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 Asset Manager and those Investors. For example, if an 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 Asset Manager or its affiliate (i.e., the Asset Manager or its affiliate 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. While the Manager or its affiliates do not currently intend to transfer these Interests prior to the liquidation of an Underlying Asset, in the future, they may, from time to time, transfer these Interests, either directly or through brokers, via the Platform or otherwise, subject to the restrictions of applicable securities laws and filing any necessary amendment to this Offering Circular. 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 conflict of interest between the Manager or its affiliates 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 collection of the Underlying Assets (e.g., for insurance, storage, maintenance or media material creation).  Although appointing one service provider may reduce costs due to economies of scale, such service provider may not necessarily be the most appropriate for a particular Underlying Asset (e.g., it may have more experience in servicing a certain class of collectible even though the Company will own many different kinds of collectibles).  In such circumstances, the Manager would be conflicted from acting in the best interests of the Underlying Assets as a whole or those of one particular 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 costs 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.  While we presently intend to allocate expenses as


35



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 or its affiliates are obligated to purchase a minimum of 1% of Interests of all Offerings, at the same terms as all other Investors. However, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, acquire additional Interests, at the same terms as all other Investors. If there is a lack of demand for Interests in a particular Series during such Series’ initial Offering, the Manager in its sole discretion may acquire additional Interests (at the same terms as all other Investors) in order for an Offering for such Series of Interests to have a Closing. The Manager or its affiliates have in the past “topped-off” an Offering of Series of Interests, so that a Closing with regards to such Offering could occur. The Manager will engage in such activity in the future if it reasonably believes such activity to be in the best interests of Investors or potential Investors. Such activity may result in a reduced level of liquidity in the secondary trading market for any Series in which it makes such a decision. For example, during the Offering for Series #11BM1, the Manager acquired a total of 43% of Interests issued. See “Principal Interest Holders” for additional information.

The Manager, the Asset Manager or the Platform may receive sponsorship from Collectible Asset service 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 to liquidate a particular Underlying Asset should an offer to acquire full ownership of the Underlying Asset be received. As the Asset Manager or an affiliate, 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 Manager will do so considering all of the circumstances at the time, which may include the preferences of the Interest Holders of the related Series as expressed by the nonbinding voting results of a poll of such Interest Holders on the question whether to sell the Underlying Asset.  The Manager may decide to sell such Underlying Asset for a price 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 Collectible Assets at Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) as this may generate higher Free Cash Flow to be distributed to the Asset Manager, an affiliate of the Manager, and Investors in the Series associated with that particular Underlying Asset.  In turn, certain Underlying Assets may generate lower distributions than the Underlying Assets of other Series of Interests.  The use of Underlying Assets at the Membership Experience Programs could increase the risk of the Underlying Assets 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 Underlying Assets at the Membership Experience Programs (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”) to generate revenue or limit the potential of damage being caused to them.  Furthermore, the Manager may be incentivized to utilize Collectible Assets that help popularize the Interests via the Platform or general participation or membership in the Platform, which means of utilization may generate lower immediate returns than other potential utilization strategies.

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 any 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.

Manager’s Fees and Compensation

None of the compensation set forth under “Compensation of the Manager” was determined by arms’ length negotiations. Investors must rely upon the duties of the Manager of good faith and fair dealing to protect their interests, as qualified by the Operating Agreement. While the Manager believes that the consideration is fair for the work being performed, there can be no assurance made that the compensation payable to the Manager will reflect the true market value of its services.

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

As the Manager or its affiliates 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 higher stake.

Any profits generated from the Platform (e.g., through advertising) and from issuing additional Interests in Underlying Assets on the Platform will be for the benefit of the Manager and Asset Manager (e.g. more Sourcing Fees).  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 Asset industry, they may seek to sell Underlying Assets to, acquire Underlying Assets from, or service Underlying Assets owned by the Company.

Lack of separate counsel for the Rally Entities and their respective affiliates

The counsel of the Company (“Legal Counsel”) is also counsel to the Rally Entities, which include other series LLC entities of Rally Holdings and other Series of Interests.  Because Legal Counsel represents both the Company and the Rally Entities, certain conflicts of interest exist and may arise.  To the extent that an irreconcilable conflict develops between the Company and any of the Rally Entities, Legal Counsel may represent one or more of the Rally Entities and not the Company or the Series.  Legal Counsel may, in the future, render services to the Company or one or more of the Rally Entities with respect to activities relating to the Company as well as other unrelated activities.  Legal Counsel is not representing any prospective Investors of any Series of Interests in connection with any Offering and will not be representing the members of the Company other than the Manager and Rally Holdings, although the prospective Investors may rely on the opinion of legality of Legal Counsel provided at Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.  Prospective Investors are advised to consult their own independent counsel with respect to the other legal and tax implications of an investment in any Series.

 

Our affiliates’ interests in other Rally Entities

 

The officers and directors of Rally Holdings, which is the sole member of the Manager and serves as the Asset Manager for the Company, are also officers and directors and/or key professionals of other Rally Entities. These persons have legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to us. As a result of their interests in other Rally Entities, their obligations to other Investors and the fact that they engage in and will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and others, they will face conflicts of interest in allocating their time among us and other Rally Entities and other business activities in which they are involved. Rally Holdings currently serves as the Asset Manager for multiple entities with similar strategies, including two series


37



limited liability companies with similar businesses: RSE Archive, LLC, which commenced principal operations in 2019 and primarily operates in the memorabilia and collectibles asset class, and RSE Innovation, LLC, which commenced principal operations in 2021 and primarily operates in the intangibles asset class. These separate entities all require the time and consideration of Rally Holdings and affiliates, potentially resulting in an unequal division of resources to all Rally Entities. However, we believe that Rally Holdings has sufficient professionsals to fully discharge their responsibilities to the Rally entities for which they work.


38



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 any Offering.  However, from time to time, additional Interests in the Series offered under this Offering Circular may be issued in order to raise capital to cover the applicable Series’ ongoing Operating Expenses, which may result in dilution of the Interests of the then-current Investors.  See “Description of the Business – Operating Expenses” for further details.

The Manager or its affiliates must acquire a minimum of 1% of the Interests in connection with any Offering, however, the Manager, in its sole discretion, may acquire greater than 1% of the Interests in any Offering.  In all circumstances, the Manager or its affiliated purchaser will pay the price per Interest offered to all other potential Investors hereunder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURE

Plan of Distribution

We are managed by RSE Collection Manager, LLC (which we refer to as the Manager), a single-member Delaware limited liability company owned by Rally Holdings LLC (which we refer to as the Asset Manager). The Asset Manager also owns and operates the Platform, through which Investors may indirectly invest, through a Series of the Company’s Interests, in Underlying Asset opportunities that have been historically difficult to access for many market participants. Through the use of the Platform, Investors can browse and screen the potential investments and sign legal documents electronically. We intend for the sales of the Interests to occur principally through the Platform.  However, the Company may offer directly to certain Investors a significant portion of the Interests in any given Series without the aid of the Platform and prior to the Platform-based Offering.  In addition, within two calendar days of the qualification date of an Offering, the Company may sell some of the Interests on a limited basis.  None of the Rally Entities is a member firm of 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.

The sale of the Interests is being facilitated by the BOR, which is a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and member of FINRA.  The BOR is registered in each state where the offer and sales of the Interests will occur. Interests may not be offered or sold in states where the BOR is not registered as a broker-dealer.

With respect to the Interests:

-The Company is the entity which issues membership Interests in each Series of the Company; 

-The Asset Manager owns and operates the Platform, through which membership Interests are offered under Tier 2 of Regulation A under the Securities Act pursuant to this Offering Circular, and, in its capacity as Asset Manager, provides services with respect to the selection, acquisition, ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the Underlying Assets; 

-The Manager operates each Series of Interests following the Closing of the Offering for that Series; and  

-The BOR, which is a registered broker-dealer, acts as the broker of record and facilitates the sale of the Interests while providing certain other Investor verification and regulatory services. For the avoidance of doubt, the BOR is not an underwriter or placement agent in connection with the Offering. The BOR does not purchase or solicit purchases of, or make any recommendations regarding, the Interests to prospective Investors. 

 

Neither the BOR nor any other entity receives a finder’s fee or any underwriting or placement agent discounts or commissions in relation to any Offering of Interests.

Each of the Offerings is being conducted under Regulation A under 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 these Offerings, see “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure – Investor Suitability Standards.” As a Tier 2 Offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, these Offerings will be exempt from state law Blue Sky registration requirements, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain antifraud provisions.

The initial Offering price for each Series of Interests is equal to the aggregate of (i) the purchase price of the applicable Underlying Asset, (ii) the Brokerage Fee, (iii) Offering Expenses, (iv) the Acquisition Expenses, and (v) the Sourcing Fee (in each case as described below) divided by the number of membership Interests sold in each Offering. The initial Offering price for a particular Series is a fixed price and will not vary based on demand by Investors or potential Investors.

The Plan of Distribution table below represents Offerings with a Closing as of November 30, 2021 and represents actual amounts on its respective Closing date.

1)The Asset Seller was issued Interests in the Series as part of total purchase consideration. 

2)Interests in Series #77LE1 were issued under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D and were thus not qualified under the Company’s Offering Circular (as amended). All other Interests in Series of the Company were issued under Tier 2 of Regulation A.

Note: Table does not include any Offerings or anticipated Offerings for which the Underlying Asset has been sold or cancelled and represents details through November 30, 2021. Brokerage Fee and Offering Expenses (Custody Fee) assume that 100% of Interests in each Offering are sold.

There will be different Closing dates for each Offering. The Closing of an Offering will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the Total Maximum Interests for a Series have been accepted or (ii) a date determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, provided that subscriptions for the Total Minimum Interests of such Series have been accepted.  If Closing has not occurred, an 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 with respect to a particular Series 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.  

 

In the case of each Series designated with a purchase option agreement in the respective Series Detail Table in Appendix B, the Company has independent purchase option agreements to acquire the individual Underlying Assets, which it plans to exercise upon the Closing of the individual Offering. These individual purchase option agreements may be further extended past their initial expiration dates, and in the case a Series Offering does not close on or before its individual expiration date, or if we are unable to negotiate an extension of the purchase option, the individual Offering will be terminated.

This Offering Circular does not constitute an offer or sale of any Series of 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 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

Each Series of Interests will be issued in book-entry form without certificates and, as of this time, will be transferred into a custodial account, created by the Custodian for each Investor, upon the Closing of the applicable Offerings. All previously issued shares held on the books of the Issuer are transferred into the Custodian brokerage accounts upon consent by the individual Investors. Transfer agent functions with respect to the Interests of the Series are performed by RSE Transfer Agent LLC (the “Transfer Agent”), a registered transfer agent affiliated with the Company, pursuant to a service agreement for transfer agent services, dated October 7, 2021 (the “Transfer Agent Agreement”).   

The Asset Manager, the Manager or its affiliates, and not the Company, will pay all of the expenses incurred in these Offerings that are not covered by the Brokerage Fee, the Sourcing Fee, Offering Expenses or Acquisition Expenses, including fees to our legal counsel, but excluding fees for counsel or other advisors to the Investors and fees associated 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 Interests are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act), which include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other Investors


42



so long as their investment in any of the Interests of the Company (in 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. On August 26, 2020, the Commission adopted amendments to expand the definition of “accredited investor,” which became effective December 8, 2020. These amendments, among other changes, expanded the types of entities that qualify as accredited investors, enabled investors that hold FINRA Series 7, 65 or 82 licenses to qualify as accredited investors and expanded the concept of “spouse” to include spousal equivalents for purposes of the financial tests referenced above. 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 the BOR, in its capacity as broker of record for these Offerings, will be permitted to make a determination that the subscribers of Interests in each 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 http://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 Investment

The minimum subscription by an Investor in an Offering is one (1) Interest. The Manager and/or its affiliates must purchase a minimum of 1% of the Interests of each Series as of the Closing of the Offering of such Series. The Manager and/or its affiliates may purchase greater than 1% of the Interests of any Series at the applicable Closing, in its sole discretion.   


43



Lock-up Period

 The Rally Entities shall be subject to a 90-day lock-up period starting the day of Closing for any Interests which it purchases in an Offering. 

Broker

 

Pursuant to a broker-dealer agreement, dated October 7, 2021, between the Company and the BOR (as amended, the “Brokerage Agreement”), the BOR serves as broker of record for the Company’s Regulation A Offerings.

 

The BOR performs the following technology and compliance services in connection with the sale of the Interests as a broker-of-record:

 

1.Accept Investor data from the Company; 

2.Review and process Investor information, including Know Your Customer (KYC) data, perform Anti-Money Laundering (AML), using the BOR and third-party vendors resources, and other compliance background checks, and provide a recommendation to the Company whether or not to accept each Investor as a customer of the Company based solely on AML and KYC processes; 

3.Coordinate and help establish escrow services for Investor documentation, if necessary, through a third-party qualified escrow agent; 

4.Review each Investor’s subscription agreement to confirm accuracy of information and such Investor’s participation in the Series, and, based upon such review, provide a determination to the Company whether or not to accept the subscription agreement for the Investor’s participation; 

5.Contact and/or notify the Company of any Investor that the BOR advises the Company to decline; 

6.Contact and/or notify the Company, if needed, to gather additional information or clarification regarding any Investor; 

7.Serve as a registered agent for each Series on which it acts as broker-of-record where required for state Blue Sky law requirements;  

8.Coordinate and transmit book-entry data to the Company’s Custodian to assist in maintaining the Company’s ownership registry for each Series; 

9.Keep Investor details and data confidential and not disclose such information to any third party except as required by regulators or in performance of its obligations under the Brokerage Agreement (e.g. as needed for AML and background checks); and  

10.Comply with any required FINRA filings including filings required under Rule 5110 for the Offering. 

 

The BOR is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA and the SIPC and is registered in each state where the Offerings and sale of the Interests will occur but will not act as a finder, placement agent or underwriter in connection with these Offerings. The BOR will receive a Brokerage Fee but will not purchase or solicit the purchase of any Interests and, therefore, will not be eligible to receive any finder’s fees or any underwriting or placement agent discounts or commissions in connection with any Offering of Interests.  In addition, we have agreed to pay the BOR for certain other expenses.

 

The Brokerage Agreement will remain in effect for a period ending on the earlier of: (i) the final Closing of the Offering for a Series of Interests for which the BOR acts as broker-of-record, or (ii) the last date under which Interests of the Company are permitted by applicable Commission rules to be offered and sold by the Company under its Offering Statement (of which this Offering Circular forms a part). A copy of the Brokerage Agreement is attached as Exhibit 6.2 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

Custodian

The Custodian will hold the brokerage accounts into which Interests in the Company’s Offerings are transferred upon the Closing of each of the Company’s Offerings, pursuant to an amended and restated custody agreement dated October 5, 2021, by and among the Company, the Custodian and the Transfer Agent (the “Amended and Restated Custody Agreement”).  The Custodian is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA and the SIPC and is registered in every state in which Interests in Series of the Company will be sold.  The


44



Custodian will receive a Custody 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 any Offering.  A copy of the Amended and Restated Custody Agreement is attached as Exhibit 8.2 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

Escrow Agent

 

Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., serves as the Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement among the BOR, the Escrow Agent, and the Company, effective as of December 8, 2021, on behalf of each Series (as amended, the “Escrow Agreement”). 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 Offerings for the Series in the Master Series Table in Appendix A. The Company and the BOR 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. A copy of the Escrow Agreement is attached as Exhibit 8.1 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

Transfer Agent

 

Pursuant to the Transfer Agent Agreement, the Transfer Agent performs certain transfer agent functions for the Company, including:   

 

1.Maintaining a record of ownership of Interests for each Series, including contact information of all registered holders of Interests;  

2.Maintaining a record of the transfer, issuance and cancellation of any and all Interests; and 

3.Coordinating with each broker-dealer authorized by the Company to execute a purchase or sale of Interests to ensure that all purchases and sales are promptly reported to the Company and recorded in the register of Interests for each Series. 

 

The Transfer Agent is registered with the Commission as a transfer agent pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act.  Pursuant to the Transfer Agent Agreement, the Company will pay an annual fee to the Transfer Agent in arrears in an amount to be negotiated in good faith based on the Transfer Agent’s actual expenses in performing the services under the agreement.  The Transfer Agent Agreement continues for an initial term of three years and provides for automatic renewals for successive three-year terms unless either party provides written notice of termination at least 60 days in advance of the end of the term.  A copy of the Transfer Agent Agreement is attached as Exhibit 6.10 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

 

Fees and Expenses

 

Offering Expenses

Each Series of Interests will generally be responsible for their respective Offering Expenses. Offering Expenses consist of legal, accounting, escrow, filing, banking, compliance costs and Custody Fees, as applicable, related to a specific Offering (and exclude ongoing costs described in “Description of the Business—Operating Expenses” below). The Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Offering Expenses incurred with respect to the Offerings for the Series detailed in the Master Series Table in Appendix A except in the case of Custody Fees, which are funded through the proceeds of the respective Offerings at Closing.

As compensation for providing certain custodian services to the Company, the Custodian will receive the Custody Fee.  Each Series of Interests will be responsible for paying its own Custody Fee to the Custodian in connection with the sale of Interests in such Series, except if otherwise stated for a particular Series. The Custody Fee will be payable from the proceeds of such Offering. For all previously closed Offerings, the Manager will retroactively pay the Custodian the Custody Fee upon transfer of Interests related to such Offerings into the brokerage accounts created for each Interest Holder by the Custodian.


45



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 Asset Seller’s possession 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 Platform. 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, the BOR will receive the Brokerage Fee equal to 1.00% of the gross proceeds of each Offering. Each Series of Interests will be responsible for paying its own Brokerage Fee to the BOR in connection with the sale of Interests in such Series, except if otherwise stated for a particular Series. The Brokerage Fee will be payable from the proceeds of such Offering. In addition to the Brokerage Fee, the Company has agreed to pay the BOR a one-time advance set up fee of $5,000. The Company will also fund $13,750 in FINRA 5110 filing fees which represents the 5110 fee for the maximum of $75,000,000 of issuance in the upcoming twelve-month period. The set-up fee is to facilitate the Offerings but is not related to a specific Series of Interests. Any unused portion of these fees will be reimbursed to the Company.  The Company will also pay the BOR a one-time consulting fee of $5,000 in exchange for general consulting services provided in connection to Offerings.  The BOR will monitor all compensation, from any source, and will ensure that its total compensation for each Offering, and all Offerings, does not exceed 8% of the total offering proceeds, in the aggregate.

Sourcing Fee

The Manager will be paid the Sourcing Fee, which in respect of each Offering shall not exceed the amount described in the Master Series Table in Appendix A for each Series, and in respect of any other Offering, shall not exceed such amount as determined by the Manager at the time of such Offering.

How to Subscribe

 

Potential Investors who are “qualified purchasers” may subscribe to purchase Interests in the Series which have not had a Closing, as detailed in the Master Series Table in Appendix A (gray highlighting in the Master Series Table indicates Series for which an Offering has not yet closed).

 

The subscription process for each Offering is a separate process. Any potential Investor wishing to acquire any Series Interests must:

 

1.Carefully read this Offering Circular, and any current supplement, as well as any documents described in the Offering Circular and attached hereto or which you have requested. Consult with your tax, legal and financial advisors to determine whether an investment in any of the Series Interests is suitable for you. 

 

2.Review the Subscription Agreement (including the “Investor Qualification and Attestation” attached thereto), which is pre-populated following your completion of certain questions on the Platform or otherwise and if the responses remain accurate and correct, sign the completed Subscription Agreement using electronic signature. Except as otherwise required by law, subscriptions may not be withdrawn or cancelled by subscribers. 

 

3.Once the completed Subscription Agreement is signed for a particular Offering, an integrated online payment provider will transfer funds in an amount equal to the purchase price for the relevant Series of Interests for which you have applied to subscribe (as set out on the front page of your Subscription Agreement) into a non-interest-bearing escrow account with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent will hold such subscription monies in escrow until such time as your Subscription Agreement is either accepted or rejected by the Company and, if accepted, such further time until you are issued the Series Interests for which you subscribed. 

 

4.The Manager and the BOR will review the subscription documentation completed and signed by you. You may be asked to provide additional information. The Manager or the BOR will contact you directly if required. We reserve the right to reject any subscriptions, in whole or in part, for any or no reason, and to withdraw any Offering at any time prior to Closing. 

 

5.Once the review is complete, the Manager will inform you whether or not your application to subscribe for the Series Interests is approved or denied and if approved, the number of Series Interests for which you are entitled to subscribe. If your subscription is rejected in whole or in part, then your subscription payments (being the entire amount if your application is rejected in whole or the payments associated with those subscriptions rejected in part) will be refunded promptly, without interest or deduction. The Manager accepts subscriptions on a first-come, first served basis subject to the right to reject or reduce subscriptions. 

 

6.If all or a part of your subscription in a particular Series is approved, then the number of Series Interests for which you are entitled to subscribe will be issued to you upon the Closing. Simultaneously with the issuance of the Series Interests, the subscription monies held by the Escrow Agent in escrow on your behalf will be transferred to the account of the applicable Series as consideration for such Series Interests. 

 

By executing the Subscription Agreement, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Subscription Agreement and Operating Agreement. The Company, the Manager and the BOR will rely on the information you provide in the Subscription Agreement, including the “Investor Qualification and Attestation” attached thereto and the supplemental information you provide in order for the Manager and the BOR to verify your status as a “qualified purchaser.” If any information about your “qualified purchaser” status changes prior to you being issued Series Interests, please notify the Manager immediately using the contact details set out in the Subscription Agreement.

 

For further information on the subscription process, please contact the Manager using the contact details set out in the “Where to Find Additional Information” section.


47



The subscription funds advanced by prospective Investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a non-interest-bearing account with the Escrow Agent and will not be transferred to the operating account of the applicable Series of Interests unless and until there is a Closing of the Offering with respect to that Series. When the Escrow Agent has received instructions from the Manager or the BOR that an 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 applicable Series. If an 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 or deductions. Any costs and expenses associated with a terminated Offering will be borne by the Manager.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Overview

The Collectible Asset market, a global, multi-billion-dollar industry, is characterized by: (i) a very small number of collectors who have the financial means to acquire, enjoy and derive financial gains from the highest quality and value of Collectible Assets, and (ii) a very large number of Asset Class 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 in the highest value segment. This dichotomy and the disproportionate access to the upper-end of the market have resulted in the creation of significant latent demand from the enthusiast community to participate more meaningfully 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 Asset Class. The Company aims to provide enthusiasts with access to the market by enabling them to create a diversified portfolio of equity Interests in the highest quality Collectible Assets through a seamless investment experience on the Platform. In addition 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 (as described in “Description of the Business – Business of the Company”). The objective is to use revenue generated from these Membership Experience Programs to fund the highest caliber of care for the Underlying Assets in the collection, which we expect ultimately to be offset by meaningful economies of scale in the form of lower costs for collection level insurance, maintenance contracts and storage facilities, and to generate Free Cash Flow distributions to Investors in the Underlying Assets.  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 Assets 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 Assets. Auction and consignment models may 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 a particular Series and thus indirectly the Underlying Asset and do not represent an investment in the Company or the Manager generally.  We do not anticipate that any Series will own any assets other than the Underlying Asset associated with such Series.  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 each Series to benefit from economies of scale and by allowing Investors to enjoy the Company’s Underlying Asset collection at the Membership Experience Programs (as defined below).

The Company’s core competency is the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of Collectible Assets for the benefit of the Investors. In addition, through the use of the Platform and the PPEX ATS, 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 the Asset Class. The Company, with the support of the Manager and its affiliates and through the use of the Platform or the PPEX ATS, aims to provide:

(i)Investors with access to the highest quality Collectible Assets for investment, portfolio diversification and secondary market liquidity for their Interests, through the Original Liquidity Platform (as defined below) or the PPEX ATS (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information), or otherwise, although there can be no guarantee that a secondary market will ever develop, through the Original Liquidity Platform or the PPEX ATS, or otherwise, or that appropriate registrations to permit such secondary trading will ever be obtained. 


49



(ii)Asset Sellers with greater market transparency and insights, lower transaction costs, increased liquidity, a seamless and convenient sale process, portfolio diversification and the ability to build equity positions in assets via the Interests issued to Asset Sellers in Offerings for Series Interests conducted through the Platform, as part of the total purchase consideration to the Asset Sellers. 

(iii) All Platform users with a premium, highly curated, engaging Collectible Asset media experience, including “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 Platform users and others with opportunities to engage with the Underlying Assets in the Company’s collection through a diverse set of potential 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, collector car 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 Underlying 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 or commercials or at events); and 

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

A core principle of Collectible Asset collecting is the enjoyment of the assets. As such, the ultimate goal of the Membership Experience Programs is 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. We believe the Membership Experience Programs, with appropriate controls and incentives, and active monitoring by the Manager and the Asset Manager, facilitate a highly differentiated and enjoyable shared collecting experience while providing for premium care for assets in the Company’s collection. To the extent the Manager and the Asset Manager considers it beneficial to Investors, we plan to include all the Underlying Assets, in the sole discretion of the Manager, in the Membership Experience Programs.  

The Manager and Asset Manager operate the Membership Experience Programs. To date, revenues generated from Membership Experience Programs have been minimal, and as a result, the Manager has chosen not to allocate any revenues and expenses related to the Membership Experience Programs to the Company or any of the individual Series.  No revenue models have been developed at the Company or Series level and we do not expect either the Company or any of its Series to generate any revenues for some time. We will update the appropriate disclosure at such time as revenue models have been developed.

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

Competition

Although the Company’s business model is unique in the Asset Class, there is potentially significant competition for the Underlying Assets, which the Company securitizes through its Offerings, 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 dealers and auction houses continue to play an increasing role.

Most of our current and potential competitors in the Asset Class, such as dealers and auction houses, have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources


50



sourcing the Collectible Assets for which the Company competes. In addition, almost all of these competitors, in particular the auction houses, have longer operating histories and greater name recognition than we do and are focused on a more established business model.

There are also start-up models around shared ownership of Collectible Assets, developing in the industry, which will result in additional competition for Collectible Assets.

With the continued increase in popularity in the Asset Class, we expect competition for Collectible Assets to intensify in the future. Increased competition may lead to increased prices, which will reduce the potential value appreciation that Investors may be able to achieve by owning Interests in the Company’s Offerings and will decrease the number of high-quality assets the Company can securitize.

In addition, there are companies that are developing crowd funding models for other alternative asset classes such as racehorses, wine or art, who may decide to enter the Asset Class as well.

Customers

We target the broader U.S. Asset Class enthusiast and the U.S. millennial market as our key customer bases. The customers of the Company are the Investors in each Series that has closed an Offering. As of the date of this filing, the Company has closed the Offerings highlighted in white in the Master Series Table in Appendix A.

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 or 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 across all 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 has assembled an Advisory Board to assist the Manager in identifying and acquiring the Underlying Assets, to assist the Asset Manager in managing the Underlying Assets and to advise the Manager regarding certain other matters associated with the business of the Company and the various Series of Interests.  


51



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

Operating Expenses are allocated to each Series based on the Company’s allocation policy (see “Allocations of Expenses” below). Each Series is only responsible for the Operating Expenses associated with such Series, as determined by the Manager in accordance with the allocation policy, and not the Operating Expenses related to any other Series. Upon the Closing of an Offering for a Series, the Series will be responsible for the following costs and expenses attributable to the activities of the Company related to the Series:

(i)any and all ongoing fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the management of the Underlying Asset related to a Series, 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, custodianship, marketing, maintenance, refurbishment, presentation, perfection of title and utilization of an Underlying Asset; 

(ii)fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with preparing any reports and accounts of a 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 a 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 an 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. 

The Manager and the Asset Manager have agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Operating Expenses incurred prior to the Closing of any of the Series detailed in the Master Series Table in Appendix A. The Manager and the Asset Manager each will bear their 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 Assets).

If the Operating Expenses for a particular Series exceed the amount of revenues generated from the Underlying Asset of such Series and cannot be covered by any Operating Expense reserves on the balance sheet of the Series, the Manager or the Asset 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 or the Asset Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, and be entitled to Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations, and/or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in the Series in order to cover such additional amounts.


52



Indemnification of the Manager and its Affiliates

The Operating Agreement provides that the Indemnified Parties will not 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.  

Each 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 applicable 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

Each Series has entered or intends to enter into a separate Asset Management Agreement with the Asset Manager. The Series referenced in the Master Series Table in Appendix A, will each appoint the Asset Manager to manage the respective Underlying Assets pursuant to 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 entered into with each Series will terminate on the earlier of: (i) one year after the date on which the relevant Underlying Asset related to a Series has been liquidated and the obligations connected to the Underlying Asset (including, contingent obligations) have been terminated, (ii) the removal of the Manager 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 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 each Underlying Asset, the Asset Manager will be paid a semi-annual Management Fee pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement (see “Description of the Asset Management Agreement” above for additional information), equal to up to 50% of any available Free Cash Flow generated by a Series for such six-month period.  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 Asset Class. We intend to acquire assets from across all sub-categories of the Asset Class, but with particular focus on items with broad appeal and significance.  For example, in sports memorabilia, this


53



would include objects related to high profile players or memorable teams. 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, 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 and to appropriately maintain, monitor and manage the collection to support its continued value appreciation and to enable respectful enjoyment 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 items in each major sub-category of the Asset Class that fit within the broad asset categories described above. Tier 1 assets provide a breadth of content for the 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 within the collector and investor community. In addition to being prudent investments, Tier 2 assets will also play a key role in promoting the 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 forms of Collectible Assets.

(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.  Tier 4 lists include what we believe to be the most desirable and actionable assets in the Asset Class at any time.

We anticipate that the Advisory Board will assist in the identification of Underlying Assets and in finding and identifying storage, maintenance specialists and other 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 Asset Class, 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 the Asset Manager and members of the Manager’s 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 Underlying 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 the Membership Experience Programs. The Manager, with guidance from the Asset Manager and members of the Manager’s 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 highest possible quality grades, to the extent that such metrics exist in a particular sub-sector (e.g. trading cards), and other related records.  The Manager, with guidance from the Asset Manager and members of the Manager’s Advisory Board, also considers the condition of the assets, historical significance, ownership 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 Platform.  From time to time the Manager, in consultation with our expert network, the Asset Manager and members of the Manager’s Advisory Board, will decide to refurbish assets either prior to designating a Series of Interests associated with such Underlying Asset on the Platform or as part of an Underlying Asset’s ongoing maintenance schedule. Any refurbishment will only be performed if it is deemed to be accretive to the value of the Underlying Asset. The Manager, with guidance from the Asset Manager and members of the Manager’s Advisory Board, will review asset selection criteria at least annually. The Manager, in consultation with the Asset Manager, will seek approval from the Advisory Board for any major deviations from these criteria.

Through the Company’s network, the Asset Manager and Advisory Board, we believe that we will be able to identify and acquire Underlying Assets of the highest quality and known provenance, as well as examples of potential “future classics,” and obtain proprietary access to limited production runs, with the intent of driving returns for Investors in the Series of Interests that owns the applicable asset. Concurrently, through the Platform and the PPEX ATS, we aim to bring together a significantly larger number of potential buyers with Asset Sellers than traditional auction houses or dealers are able to achieve. Through this process, we believe we can source and syndicate


54



Underlying Assets more efficiently than the traditional methods in the Asset Class and with significantly lower transaction and holding costs.

Additionally, with respect to digital assets, we may consider other factors when evaluating specific digital assets to purchase. For example, we will aim to purchase digital assets that are part of projects with broad appeal and recognizable significance, created by high-profile and memorable artists and developers. We may also evaluate the known and verifiable ownership history and provenance of a particular asset and how long it has existed. We will also consider which blockchain network a particular asset is stored and verified on, aiming to only acquire assets stored on reputable underlying network protocols, such as Ethereum. Our current preference for assets stored on the Ethereum blockchain is based on its proven efficacy in hosting NFTs and its smart-contract functionality.

Asset Acquisition

The Company plans to acquire Underlying Assets through various methods:

1)Upfront purchase – the Company acquires an Underlying Asset from an Asset Seller prior to the launch of the Offering related to the Series 

2)Purchase agreement – the Company enters into an agreement with an Asset Seller to acquire an Underlying Asset, which may expire prior to the Closing of the Offering for the related Series, in which case the Company is obligated to acquire the Underlying Asset prior to the Closing 

3) Purchase option agreement – the Company enters into a purchase option agreement with an Asset Seller, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Underlying Asset 

In the case where an Underlying Asset is acquired prior to the launch or Closing, as the case may be, of the Offering process for the related Series, 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 Underlying Asset or repay any loans made to the Company, plus applicable interest, to acquire such Underlying Asset.

Rather than pre-purchasing an Underlying Asset before the Closing of an Offering, the Company may also negotiate with Asset Sellers for the exclusive right to market an Underlying Asset on the Platform to Investors for a period of time.  The Company plans to achieve this by pre-negotiating a purchase price (or desired amount of liquidity) and entering into an asset purchase agreement or a purchase option agreement with an Asset Seller for an Underlying Asset, which would close simultaneously upon the Closing of the Offering of Interests in the Series associated with that Underlying Asset. Then, upon Closing a successful Offering, the Asset Seller would be compensated with a combination of cash proceeds from the Offering and, if elected, equity ownership in the Series associated with the Underlying Asset (as negotiated in the agreement for such Underlying Asset) and title to the Underlying Asset would be held by, or for the benefit of, the applicable Series.

In some cases, an Asset Seller may be issued membership Interests in a Series as part of the total purchase consideration to the Asset Seller.

Additional details on the acquisition method for each Underlying Asset are noted in the Series Detail Table relating to each respective Underlying Asset in Appendix B.

Asset Liquidity

The Company intends to hold and manage all of the assets marketed on the Platform indefinitely. Liquidity for Investors is obtained by transferring their Interests in a Series, through the Original Liquidity Platform or the PPEX ATS (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” below for additional information), or otherwise, 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, as the case may be, will ever be obtained. However, should an offer to liquidate an Underlying Asset materialize, the Manager will consider whether such offer is in the best interest of the Investors.  If the Manager determines that an offer is in the best interest of the Investors, the Manager will consider the merits of such offer on a case-by-case basis and potentially sell the Underlying Asset.  In determining whether to


55



sell an Underlying Asset, the Manager may consider (a) guidance from the Advisory Board and (b) preferences of the Interest Holders of the related Series as expressed by the nonbinding voting results of a poll of such Interest Holders on the question whether to sell the Underlying Asset. Furthermore, should an Underlying Asset become obsolete (e.g. due to lack of 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 Manager would distribute the proceeds of such sale (together with any insurance proceeds in the case of a catastrophic event covered under the asset’s 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 Underlying Asset or of the Series at that time).

Liquidity Platform

Original Liquidity Platform

Overview

The Manager has entered into an arrangement with the Custodian that, subject to restrictions under state and federal securities laws and the transfer restrictions listed in the Operating Agreement (see “Description Of Interests Offered – Transfer Restrictions” section for additional details), facilitates the transfer of Interests issued by the Company (the “Original Liquidity Platform”).  The facilitation of the transfer of Interests is accomplished periodically (as described below under “Frequency of facilitation”) through an auction process for isolated non-issuer transactions (the “Trading Window”) and execution of the transfer is effected exclusively through the Custodian. The Asset Manager operates the Platform, through which Investors submit their indications of interests to transfer or purchase Interests, to be executed by the Custodian. The following process is subject to change.  

1)Frequency of facilitation: The Rally Entities shall be subject to a 90-day lock-up period starting the day of Closing for any Interests which they purchase in an Offering. Trading Windows may from time to time be opened for one or more Series of Interests, at any time. Any Investor, who is not then subject to a lock-up, shall be free to sell his, her or its Interests.  The time period between each successive Trading Window (and the length of each Trading Window) for a particular Series of Interests will vary based on a variety of factors, as well as the sole discretion of the Asset Manager, in its capacity as operator of the Platform. The factors which the Asset Manager may take into account in determining whether or not to open a Trading Window, include but are not limited to, the size of the particular Series of Interests, the level of activity during the most recent Trading Window for that particular Series of Interests, and the number of discrete holders of the particular Series of Interests.  The duration of the Trading Window is generally from 9:30a.m. EST to 4:00p.m. Eastern Time and each Trading Window remains open for one or two days during these hours. However, the Asset Manager, in its capacity as operator of the Platform, may change that frequency and duration.  The Master Series Table in Appendix A reflects the date of the most recent Trading Window (as of the date of filing of this Offering Circular) for each Series of Interests for which a Trading Window has occurred. 

 

2)Indication of interest submission and aggregation: During the Trading Window for a particular Series of Interest, indications of interest to transfer or purchase Interests may be submitted by Investors who have opened a brokerage account with the Custodian. Throughout the Trading Window, all indications of interest are aggregated through the Platform with respect to the Interests in a particular Series and, at the end of the Trading Window, the market-clearing price at which the maximum number of Interests of a given Series are transacted during that particular Trading Window as determined (e.g., the price at which the maximum number of indications of interest to transfer and purchase overlap), to the extent such transfer is permitted by applicable law and the transfer restrictions detailed in the Operating Agreement.  

 

3)Indication of interest execution: After the end of the Trading Window, each Investor that has a qualifying match is notified through the Platform and is required to affirmatively confirm their desire to transact in their discretion at the market-clearing price. Upon confirmation by the Investor, the Custodian clears and closes any transactions during a fixed period of time after the end of the Trading Window. Once a  


56



transaction is executed, the appropriate information is submitted back to the Platform by the Custodian and reflected in each Investor’s account on the Platform.

User Interface and Role of the Platform

For the purposes of the Trading Window described above (see “Frequency of facilitation”), the Platform serves as the user interface through which Investors submit indications of interest to transfer or purchase Interests in Series of the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, all activity related to execution of transfers or purchases of Interests on the Platform are originated by the Investor and neither the Company, the Manager nor the Asset Manager are acting as a broker or dealer, and none of them make any recommendation as to the purchase or sale of any Interests. In addition, the registered broker-dealer does not make any recommendation as to the purchase or sale of any Interests. Neither the Company nor the Manager ever have custody of the Investor’s membership Interests, cash or other property, and all transfers of cash or securities will be performed by the registered broker-dealer or another appropriately licensed third party, at the direction of the Investor, upon Closing of a Trading Window.

The Platform acts as a user interface to deliver and display information to Investors and the registered broker-dealers. Neither the Company, the Manager nor the Asset Manager will receive any compensation for its role in the trading procedure unless and until the Manager or one of its affiliates registers as a broker-dealer.  As described above under the “Potential Conflicts of Interest – Conflicting Interests of the Manager, the Asset Manager and the Investorssection, the Manager or one of its affiliates in the future may register as a broker-dealer under state and federal securities laws, at which time it may charge fees in respect of trading of Interests on the Platform.

New Trading Platform

PPEX ATS Platform

On November 23, 2021, the Company began utilizing the PPEX ATS with respect to secondary trading of certain Series of Interests.  The Manager has entered into an arrangement with the Executing Broker that, subject to restrictions under state and federal securities laws and the transfer restrictions listed in the Operating Agreement (see “Description Of Interests Offered – Transfer Restrictions” section for additional details), facilitates potential resale transactions in Interests.  The facilitation of resale transactions in Interests is accomplished periodically (as described below under “Frequency of Facilitation”) through the Executing Broker’s role as a registered broker-dealer member of the PPEX ATS owned and operated by NCPS.  NCPS is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA and SIPC. Neither the Company, the Manager, nor the Asset Manager facilitates, executes or transmits any transfer of Interests with respect to secondary trading on the PPEX ATS.

 

Secondary trades of Interests matched on the PPEX ATS are intended to comply with Blue Sky laws either through a manual exemption in states where available, through a direct filing with the state securities regulators where required, or as isolated non-issuer transactions.  Each Series of Interests will be identified by a unique CUSIP number.  

 

Frequency of Facilitation

 

Trading Windows may from time to time be opened for one or more Series of Interests, at any time. The time period between each successive Trading Window (and the length of each Trading Window) for a particular Series of Interests will initially be determined by the Company.  However, such time periods will be subject to adjustment at the sole discretion of NCPS in its capacity as operator of the PPEX ATS.  Investors can submit bid and ask quotes on the Platform, which the Executing Broker may then submit on the PPEX ATS at any time, but no matching of buyers and sellers will occur other than during a Trading Window.  Bid and ask quotes submitted during a Trading Window may be matched immediately.  The Executing Broker will provide instructions regarding the transfer of Interests between Investor accounts to the Custodian, who will clear and close all transfers of Interests during a Trading Window.


57



User Interface and Role of the Platform

 

For the purposes of the Trading Window described above (see “Frequency of Facilitation”), the Platform will serve as the user interface through which Investors communicate with and receive information and instructions from the Executing Broker to buy and sell Interests on their behalf matched on the PPEX ATS.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, all activity related to execution of transfers or purchases of Interests on the Platform is to be originated by the Investor and communicated directly to the Executing Broker. Neither the Company nor any other Rally Entity acts as a broker or dealer or routes any orders to the Executing Broker or the Custodian, and none of them makes any direction or recommendation as to the purchase or sale of any Interests. In addition, neither the Executing Broker nor NCPS makes any recommendation as to the purchase or sale of any Interests. Neither the Company, the Rally Entities nor NCPS, as owner and operator of the PPEX ATS, will ever have custody of an Investor’s membership Interests, cash or other property, and all transfers of cash or securities are performed by a registered broker-dealer or another appropriately licensed third party.

 

The Platform acts as a user interface to deliver and display information to Investors and the registered broker-dealers. Neither the Company, the Manager nor the Asset Manager will receive any compensation for its role in the trading procedure unless and until the Manager or one of its affiliates registers as a broker-dealer.  As described above under the “Potential Conflicts of Interest – Conflicting interests of the Manager, the Asset Manager and the Investorssection, the Manager or one of its affiliates in the future may register as a broker-dealer under state and federal securities laws, at which time it may charge fees in respect of trading of Interests.

Timing of PPEX ATS Rollout

While the PPEX ATS is currently being utilized for resale transactions with respect to certain Series of Interests, resale transactions in other Series of Interests will continue to be effectuated through the Platform during Trading Windows until the PPEX ATS is available for facilitating resale transactions in such Series of Interests.  We expect that resale transactions with respect to all Series of Interests will be effectuated through the PPEX ATS in the first quarter of 2022.

Agreements Relating to the PPEX ATS

The Company has entered into an agreement dated June 14, 2021 (the “PPEX ATS Company Agreement”) with NCPS, pursuant to which NCPS will review the Company’s and Series’ governing documents, offering materials and regulatory filings so that the PPEX ATS may serve as an available venue for the potential resale transactions in Interests to be conducted through the Executing Broker as a broker-dealer member of the PPEX ATS.  The PPEX ATS provides a matching platform for the Executing Broker as a broker-dealer member of the PPEX ATS to submit bid and ask quotes to purchase or sell Interests on behalf of Investors.  

The Company paid an initial subscription fee of $12,000 in consideration for two years’ access to the PPEX ATS as an available venue for the potential resale transactions in Interests to be conducted through the Executing Broker as a broker-dealer member of the PPEX ATS.  After the expiration of the initial two-year term, the Company will have the option to extend the term of the PPEX ATS Company Agreement either on an annual basis for $10,000 per year or on a six-month basis for $6,000 per six months.

In addition, on October 21, 2021, the Asset Manager entered into a Software and Services License Agreement with North Capital Investment Technology, Inc., the parent company of NCPS (“NCIT”), pursuant to which the Company is licensed to use certain technology to facilitate the operation of the Platform with the PPEX ATS as described above.  The Asset Manager will pay NCIT a monthly fee of $500.

The Company has also entered into an agreement with the Executing Broker (the “Secondary Brokerage Agreement”), dated June 14, 2021, separate and apart from the Brokerage Agreement.  Pursuant to the Secondary Brokerage Agreement, the Executing Broker will perform certain services in support of the secondary trading of Interests on the PPEX ATS and will ultimately be responsible for the execution of secondary trades of Interests.  As compensation, the Executing Broker will receive 2% of the gross proceeds received related to each transaction (1% from the buyer and 1% from the seller involved in such transaction).  The Manager may, from time to time and at its


58



sole discretion, opt to pay the compensation earned by the Executing Broker in connection with its services related to the PPEX ATS.

The Asset Manager has also entered into an additional license agreement, dated June 29, 2021 (the “Tools License Agreement”), with the Executing Broker, pursuant to which the Executing Broker is licensed to use certain of the Asset Manager’s proprietary hosted software tools to perform services for the Rally Entities (“Services”) as called for by the Secondary Brokerage Agreement.  There are no additional fees payable by either party under the Tools License Agreement in exchange for the Services.

The Executing Broker and the Custodian have entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the Custodian will perform the custody and clearing services in connection with transfers of Interests and the Company will pay the fees due to the Custodian under that agreement.  

Facilities

The Manager operates the Company and manages the collection in a manner that prioritizes the ongoing security of all Underlying Assets. The Manager stores the Underlying Assets, along with other assets, in a professional facility and in accordance with standards commonly expected when managing Collectible Assets of equivalent value and always as recommended by the Advisory Board.

The Company has leased space in one purpose built, secure, temperature-controlled storage facility in New Jersey for the purposes of storing the Underlying Assets in a highly controlled environment other than when some or all of the Underlying Assets are used in Membership Experience Programs or are otherwise being utilized for marketing or similar purposes. The facility used by the Company 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 addition to the storage facilities, as part of the Membership Experience Program, the Manager of the Company opened a showroom in New York City in 2019.

From time to time various Underlying Assets may be held in third-party facilities. In such cases, the Asset Manager endeavors to ensure that the Underlying Assets are stored with the appropriate care and insurance as would be the case if they were held in the facility in which the Company leases space, unless otherwise specified in the description for an Underlying Asset.

Underlying digital assets are stored by the Manager using commercially reasonable measures in a MetaMask wallet. Specifically, each digital asset will be stored in its own wallet with its own public address, private key, 12-word recovery seed phrase, and “memorable password.” Each wallet’s private key, 12-word recovery seed phrase, and memorable password are separately stored as individual printed copies in a vault in New York with a dedicated alarm system and 24/7 video surveillance, the access codes to which are provided only to a limited number of employees. Presently, a designated employee of the Asset Manager has access to the wallet on a device under their control, accessible via the memorable password. Should this password be forgotten, the wallet can be recovered using the full 12-word recovery seed phrase. We anticipate engaging a digital asset custodian in the future to provide third-party custodian storage of our digital assets.

Each of the Underlying Assets in the collection is inspected on a regular basis according to the inspection schedule defined, from time to time, for each Underlying Asset by the Asset Manager in conjunction with members of the Advisory Board.

The Manager and the Asset Manager are located at 250 Lafayette Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10012 and the Asset Manager presently has approximately thirty-five full-time employees and part-time contractors. Neither the Manager nor the Company has any employees.

Government Regulation

Federal and state laws and regulations apply to many key aspects of our business. Any actual or perceived failure to comply with these requirements may result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or registrations, loss of approved status, regulatory or governmental investigations, administrative enforcement actions, sanctions, civil and criminal liability, private litigation, reputational harm, or constraints on our ability to continue to operate. It is also possible that current or future laws or regulations could be enacted, interpreted or applied in a manner that would prohibit, alter or impair our existing or planned lines of business, or that could require costly, time-consuming, or otherwise burdensome compliance measures. As our business expands, our compliance requirements and costs may increase and we may be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny.

 

Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law, including certain matters currently under investigation by the Commission, could be asserted against the Company by individuals or governmental authorities and could expose the Company, any of its affiliates or any Series to significant damages or other penalties, including revocation or suspension of the licenses necessary to conduct business and fines. See “Risk Factors.”

 

Regulation of Digital Assets

Regulation of digital assets is under active consideration by the United States through various federal agencies, including the Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as well as in other countries. State government regulations may also apply. Furthermore, it is expected that regulations will increase, although we cannot anticipate how and when. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, we may become subject to new laws and regulation by the Commission and other agencies.

In recent years, the Commission and U.S. state securities regulators have stated that certain digital assets may be classified as securities under U.S. federal and state securities laws; however, there has not been definitive guidance on this point. A number of enforcement actions and regulatory proceedings have since been initiated against issuers of digital assets and their developers and proponents. Several foreign governments have also issued similar warnings cautioning that digital assets may be deemed to be securities under the laws of their jurisdictions.

Regulation of digital asset exchanges in the future may raise transaction costs, potentially offsetting or eliminating many of the key benefits of digital assets. Lack of international coordination raises the risk of an uneven global regulatory landscape. The development of the market for digital assets globally is in relative limbo currently due to regulatory uncertainty.

Additionally, the rules governing the ownership and operation of domain names are controlled entirely by “ICANN” (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). ICANN is a multi-stakeholder private sector, not-for-profit corporation formed in 1998 for the express purposes of overseeing a number of Internet related tasks, including management of the DNS, allocation of IP addresses, accreditation of domain name registrars and registries and the definition and coordination of policy development for all of these functions. The regulation of Internet domain names in the U.S. and in foreign countries is subject to change.

 

Regulation of Collectibles

 

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 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.

In the United States, a three-tiered distribution system gives individual states the ability to regulate how alcohol is sold. Alcohol has regulation around who has access to it, who is able to purchase it and how it is owned.  There are regulatory restrictions around licensed entities and how they transact alcohol.  Each state regulates alcohol individually from one another, creating unique and complex regulatory requirements.  Imported alcohol in most international jurisdictions is subject to import and export regulations which may include excise tax, customs


60



declarations and extensive administrative requirements.  As such, imported alcohol is subject to more regulation and to the rules and regulations in the country or state to which it is being sold.

Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law, including certain matters currently under investigation by the SEC, could be asserted against the Company by individuals or governmental authorities and could expose the Company or each Series to significant damages or other penalties, including revocation or suspension of the licenses necessary to conduct business and fines.  See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Offerings—If either the Manager or Asset Manager is required to register as a broker-dealer, the Manager or Asset Manager may be required to cease operations and any Series of Interests offered and sold without such proper registration may be subject to a right of rescission” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Offerings—If the Platform is ultimately found to be a securities exchange or alternative trading system, we may be required to cease operating the Platform while we are still reliant on it for secondary trading in some Series of Interests, and such cessation would materially and adversely affect your ability to transfer your Interests.”

Regulation of Exchanges

 

A platform facilitating the sale and secondary trading of securities potentially may be required to register with the Commission as an exchange. Section 3(a)(1) of the Exchange Act provides that an “exchange” means “any organization, association, or group of persons, whether incorporated or unincorporated, which constitutes, maintains, or provides a market place or facilities for bringing together purchasers and sellers of securities or for otherwise performing with respect to securities the functions commonly performed by a stock exchange as that term is generally understood, and includes the market place and the market facilities maintained by such exchange.” Rule 3b-16(a) under the Exchange Act further provides that a “market place or facility for bringing together purchasers and sellers of securities or for otherwise performing with respect to securities the functions commonly performed by a stock exchange” means someone who brings together the orders for securities of multiple buyers and sellers and “uses established, non-discretionary methods (whether by providing a trading facility or by setting rules) under which such orders interact with each other, and the buyers and sellers entering such orders agree to the terms of a trade.”  

 

We believe that the Platform does not use any non-discretionary methods under which any orders to purchase or sell a security interact with each other. The Platform merely routes orders to a registered broker-dealer to make isolated trades through matching individual buyers and sellers after the buyers and sellers have confirmed their intent to complete the trade.

 

A system that meets the definition of an exchange and is not excluded under Rule 3b-16(b) must register as a national securities exchange or operate pursuant to an appropriate exemption. One frequently used exemption is for alternative trading systems (“ATS”). Rule 3a1-1(a)(2) under the Exchange Act exempts from the definition of “exchange” under Section 3(a)(1) of the Exchange Act an ATS that complies with Regulation ATS. An ATS that operates pursuant to the Rule 3a1-1(a)(2) exemption and complies with Regulation ATS would not be subject to the registration requirement of Section 5 of the Exchange Act.

 

Rule 3b-16(b)(1) provides that such an entity will not be “a market place or facilities for bringing together purchasers and sellers of securities or for otherwise performing with respect to securities the functions commonly performed by a stock exchange” solely because it routes orders to a registered broker-dealer. The Platform merely provides bid and ask prices to a registered broker-dealer, and requires users to click through an acknowledgement that any orders being placed are with a registered broker-dealer, not with the Company itself. Any rules for submitting buy or sell orders are set by the participating broker-dealers. In reliance upon Rule 3b-16(b)(1), the Company believes it is not required to register the Platform as an exchange or comply with Regulation ATS as an ATS. However, the Company is currently subject to an SEC investigation related to the potential status of the Platform as an exchange or an ATS.

Privacy and Protection of Investor Data

 

Aspects of our operations or business are subject to privacy and data protection regulation in the United States and elsewhere. Accordingly, we publish our privacy policies and terms of service, which describe our practices concerning the use, transmission and disclosure of information. As our business continues to expand in the United States and beyond, and as laws and regulations continue to be passed and their interpretations continue to evolve in numerous jurisdictions, additional laws and regulations may become relevant to us. Regulatory authorities around the world are considering numerous legislative and regulatory proposals concerning privacy and data protection. In addition, the interpretation and application of these privacy and data protection laws in the United States and elsewhere are often uncertain and in a state of flux.

 

Growing public concern about privacy and the use of personal information may subject us to increased regulatory scrutiny. The FTC has, over the last few years, begun investigating companies that have used personally identifiable information in a deceptive or unfair manner or in violation of a posted privacy policy. If we are accused of violating the terms of our privacy policy or implementing unfair privacy practices, we may be forced to expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against an FTC action. On May 25, 2018, the European Union implemented the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), a new privacy regulation that imposes new regulatory scrutiny on our business with customers in the European Economic Area, with possible financial consequences for noncompliance. If we are accused of violating the data protection and privacy rights of European Union citizens, we may be forced to expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against a GDPR enforcement action by a European Union data protection authority or a European Union citizen. On January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”) became effective. Similar to the GDPR, the CCPA imposes new regulatory scrutiny on our processing of the personal data of our customers in California, with possible financial consequences for noncompliance. If we are accused of violating the CCPA, we may be forced to expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against an enforcement action by the California Attorney General or, in the event of a data breach, a lawsuit by customers located in California.

 

Consumer Protection Regulation

 

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other federal and state regulatory agencies, including the FTC, broadly regulate financial products, enforce consumer protection laws applicable to credit, deposit and payments, and other similar products, and prohibit unfair and deceptive practices. Such agencies have broad consumer protection mandates, and they promulgate, interpret and enforce laws, rules and regulations, including with respect to unfair, deceptive and abusive acts and practices that may impact or apply to our business. For example, under federal and state financial privacy laws and regulations, we must provide notice to Investors of our policies on sharing non-public information with third parties, among other requirements. In addition, under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, we may be required to disclose the terms of our electronic fund transfer services to consumers prior to their use of the service, among other requirements.

 

Investment Company Act of 1940 Considerations

 

We intend to conduct our operations so that we do not fall within, or are excluded from, the definition of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). Under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, a company is deemed to be an “investment company” if it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. We believe that we will not be considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because we will not engage primarily or hold ourselves out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. We anticipate that the Underlying Assets for each Series will not be securities.

 

Under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act, a company is deemed to be an “investment company” if it is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire “investment securities” having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the company’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40% test.” We intend to monitor our holdings and conduct operations so that on an unconsolidated basis we will comply with the 40% test with respect to each Series.


62



If we become obligated to register the Company as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act imposing, among other things:

 

·limitations on capital structure; 

·restrictions on specified investments; 

·prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and 

·compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly change our operations. 

If we were required to register the Company as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business, all of which would have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Legal Proceedings

None of the Rally Entities or any of the directors or executive officers is, as of the date of this Offering Circular, 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 Series 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 Underlying Assets, as reasonably determined by the Manager or as otherwise set forth in the allocation policy. By way of example, as of the date hereof revenues and expenses are allocated as follows:

MANAGEMENT

Manager

The Manager of the Company is RSE Collection Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on March 16, 2021.

The Company operates under the direction of the Manager, which is responsible for directing the operations of our business, directing our day-to-day affairs, and implementing our investment strategy.  RSE Markets, the sole member of the Asset Manager, has established a Board of Directors that will make decisions with respect to all asset acquisitions, dispositions and maintenance schedules, with guidance from the Advisory Board.  The Manager and the officers and directors of RSE Markets are not required to devote all of their time to our business and are only required to devote such time to our affairs as their duties require.  The Manager is responsible for determining maintenance required in order to maintain or improve the asset’s quality, determining how to monetize the Underlying Assets at Membership Experience Programs in order to generate profits and evaluating potential sale offers, which may lead to the liquidation of a Series.

The Company will follow guidelines adopted by the Manager and implement policies set forth in the Operating Agreement unless otherwise modified by the Manager.  The Manager may establish further written policies and will monitor our administrative procedures, investment operations and performance to ensure that the policies are fulfilled.  The Manager may change our objectives at any time without approval of Interest Holders.  The Manager itself has no track record and is relying on the experience of the individual officers, directors and advisors of Rally Holdings. The Asset Manager is also the Asset Manager for RSE Archive, LLC, a series limited liability company with a similar business in the memorabilia and collectible asset class, which commenced principal operations in 2019, and RSE Innovation, LLC, a series limited liability company with a similar business in the intangible asset class, which commenced principal operations in 2021. While the Asset Manager thus has some similar management experience, its experience is limited, and it has limited experience selecting or managing assets in the Asset Class.

The Manager performs its duties and responsibilities pursuant to our Operating Agreement.  The Manager maintains a contractual, as opposed to a fiduciary, relationship with us and our Interest Holders.  Furthermore, we have agreed to limit the liability of the Manager and to indemnify the Manager against certain liabilities.

DESCRIPTION OF INTERESTS OFFERED

The following is a summary of the principal terms of, and is qualified by reference to the Operating Agreement, attached as Exhibit 2.2 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, and the Subscription Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, 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 LLC Act.  The purchase of Interests in a Series of the Company is an investment only in that particular Series and not an investment in the Company as a whole.  In accordance with the LLC Act, each Series of Interests is, 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 does not intend to issue, any class of any Series of Interests entitled to any preemptive, preferential or other rights that are not otherwise available to the Interest Holders purchasing Interests in connection with any 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 Underlying Asset.  We do not anticipate that any of the Series will acquire any Underlying Assets other than the respective Underlying Assets.  A new Series of Interests will be issued for future Underlying Assets.  An Investor who invests in an Offering will not have any indirect interest in any other Underlying Assets unless the Investor also participates in a separate Offering associated with that other Underlying Asset.

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 upon the Closing of an Offering for a Series of Interests, 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 Underlying Asset associated with that Series and other related assets (e.g., cash reserves).  At the time of this filing, the Series highlighted in gray in the Master Series Table in Appendix A have not commenced operations, are not capitalized and have no assets or liabilities and no Series will commence operations, be capitalized or have assets and liabilities until such time as a Closing related to such Series has occurred. 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 of 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 of Interests, as determined by the Manager, the Interest Holders of such Series of Interests will not be liable to the Company to make any additional


78



capital contributions with respect to such Series of 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 of 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.

In general, the Interest Holders of a particular Series of Interests (which may include the Manager, its affiliates or the Asset Sellers) will participate exclusively in at least 50% of the available Free Cash Flow derived from the Underlying Asset of such Series less expenses (as described in “Distribution Rights below).  The Manager, an affiliate of the Company, will own a minimum of 1% of the Interests in each Series acquired for the same price as all other Investors. 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 of the Series Designation applicable to such Series of Interests.

The Series described in the Master Series Table in Appendix A will use the proceeds of the respective Offerings to repay any loans taken out or non-interest-bearing payments made by the Manager to acquire their respective Underlying Asset and pay the Asset Sellers pursuant to the respective asset purchase agreements, as well as pay certain fees and expenses related to the acquisition and each Offering (please see the “Use of Proceeds” in Appendix B for each respective Series for further details). An Investor in an Offering will acquire an ownership Interest in the Series of Interests related to that Offering and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in (i) the Company, (ii) any other Series of Interests, (iii) the Manager, (iv) the Asset Manager, (v) the Platform or (vi) the Underlying Asset associated with the Series or any Underlying Asset owned by any other Series of Interests.

Although our Interests will not immediately be listed on a stock exchange and a liquid market in the Interests cannot be guaranteed, either through the Platform or the PPEX ATS (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information)  or otherwise, we plan to create, with the support of registered broker-dealers, mechanisms to provide Investors with the ability to resell Interests, or partner with an existing platform to allow for the resale of the Interests, although the creation of such a market, either through the Platform or the PPEX ATS or otherwise, or the timing of such creation cannot be guaranteed (please review additional risks related to liquidity in the Risk Factorssection and the “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” section for additional information).

Further Issuance of Interests

Only the Series Interests, which are not annotated as closed, in the Master Series Table in Appendix A are being offered and sold pursuant to this Offering Circular.  The Operating Agreement provides that the Company may issue Interests of each Series of Interests to no more than 2,000 “qualified purchasers” (no more than 500 of which may be non-“accredited investors”). The Manager, in its sole discretion, has the option to issue additional Interests (in addition to those issued in connection with any Offering) on the same terms as the applicable Series of Interests is being offered hereunder as may be required from time to time in order to pay any Operating Expenses related to the applicable 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 a Series of Interests from the utilization of the associated Underlying Asset shall be applied, with respect to such Series, in the following order of priority:

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


79



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

(iii)thereafter, at least 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 Asset Sellers of the Underlying Asset or the Manager or any of its affiliates, and 

(iv)up to 50% to the Asset Manager in payment of the Management Fee (treated as an expense on the statement of operations of the Series of Interests for accounting purposes). 

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 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 or her 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 across all Series of the Company. All


80



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 a Series is required for any amendment to the Operating Agreement that would adversely change the rights of such Series of Interests, result in mergers, consolidations or conversions of such Series of 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.

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, the Investment Advisers Act 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, either through the Platform or the PPEX ATS (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information) or otherwise, 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  


81



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 Offering Circular 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; or (iv) at any time that the Series no longer has any Investors, 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).

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 or the Company as a whole, as applicable, and liquidating its assets. Upon the liquidation of a Series 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 (iii) thereafter, to the Interest Holders of the relevant Series, 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 Asset 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) a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Company or 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 transfer 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 or its affiliates will acquire Interests in each Series for their own accounts and may, from time to time and only in accordance with applicable securities laws (which may include filing an amendment to this Offering Circular), transfer these Interests, either directly or through brokers, via the Platform or otherwise. The restrictions on transferability listed above will also apply to any resale of Interests via the Platform through one or more third-party broker-dealers (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information).

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


82



will be able to, register the Interests for resale and there can be no guarantee that a liquid market for the Interests will develop as part of the Platform or the PPEX ATS (see “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” for additional information). Therefore, Investors may be required to hold their Interests indefinitely. Please refer to Exhibit 2.2 (the Operating Agreement) and Exhibit 4.1 (the form of Subscription Agreement) for additional information regarding these restrictions.  To the extent certificated, the Interests issued in each 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.

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 will 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 Rally Holdings 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 RSE Markets.  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.

Exclusive Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial

Any dispute in relation to the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, except where federal law requires that certain claims be brought in federal courts, as in the case of claims brought under the Exchange Act.   Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provisions in the Operating Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.  As a result, the exclusive forum provisions in the Operating Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction, and Investors will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Each Investor will covenant and agree not to bring any claim in any venue other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if required by federal law, a federal court of the United States. If an Interest Holder were to bring a claim against the Company or the Manager pursuant to the Operating Agreement and such claim was governed by state law, it would have to do so in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

 

Our Operating Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to limited exceptions, provides for Investors to consent to exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and for a waiver of the right to a trial by jury, if such waiver is allowed by the court where the claim is brought.


83



If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable under the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.  See “Risk Factors—Risks Related of Ownership of Our Interests--Any dispute in relation to the Operating Agreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, except where federal law requires that certain claims be brought in federal courts.  Our Operating Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, provides for Investors to waive their right to a jury trial.”  Nevertheless, if this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the Operating Agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the Operating Agreement or our Interests serves as a waiver by any Investor or beneficial owner of our Interests or by us of compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Additionally, the Company does not believe that claims under the federal securities laws shall be subject to the jury trial waiver provision, and the Company believes that the provision does not impact the rights of any Investor or beneficial owner of our Interests to bring claims under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

These provisions may have the effect of limiting the ability of Investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations and may limit an Investor’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us. Furthermore, waiver of a trial by jury may disadvantage you to the extent a judge might be less likely than a jury to resolve an action in your favor. Further, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, an action or proceeding against us, then we may incur additional costs associated with resolving these matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

Listing

The Interests are not listed or quoted for trading on any national securities exchange or national quotation system.  There is no current intention to have the Interests 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 certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Interests 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.

Except as explicitly set forth below, this discussion is limited to U.S. Holders (defined below) who hold the Interests as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This summary 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. 

 

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of the Interests that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation (or any other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or the District of Columbia, an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons control all of the substantial decisions of the trust or if a valid election is in place to treat the trust as a U.S. person.

 

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.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted H.R. 1, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act includes significant changes to the Code affecting the Company and its Interest Holders.  Most of the changes applicable to individuals are temporary and, without further legislation, will not apply after 2025. The interpretation of the Tax Act by the IRS and the courts remains uncertain in many respects; prospective Investors should consult their tax advisors specifically regarding the potential impact of the Tax Act on their investment.

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


85



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.

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 Series listed in the Master Series Table in Appendix A, to be taxed as a “C” corporation under Subchapter C of the Code for all federal and state tax purposes and the discussion below assumes that each Series will be so treated. Thus, each Series of 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

Distributions to U.S. Holders out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will be taxable as dividends. A non-corporate 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.” Dividends received by a corporate U.S. Holder may be eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction if certain holding periods are satisfied. 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. In addition, Section 1411 of the Code imposes on individuals, trusts and estates a 3.8% tax on certain investment income (the “3.8% NIIT”). 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 of the highest tax bracket for such year (for 2021, that amount is $13,050).

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.

Tax 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.


86



Dividends paid by a Series to a non-U.S. Holder are generally subject to federal income tax withholding at the rate of 30% (or a lower rate determined under a tax treaty). A non-U.S. Holder that is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding will need to provide an IRS Form W-8BEN or similar form to certify its entitlement to tax treaty benefits.

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 24% 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.

 

Under legislation commonly known as “FATCA,” each Series of Interests will be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the rate of 30% on distributions treated as dividends for tax purposes unless the recipient timely provides proper certifications on a valid U.S. Form W-8 or W-9. Withholding under FATCA generally applies to certain “foreign financial institutions” and “non-financial foreign entities.” Withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder that timely provides a valid U.S. Form W-9.

 

If we determine withholding is required with respect to a distribution or payment, we will withhold tax at the applicable statutory rate, and we will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding.

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 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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES ASTON MARTIN OSCAR INDIA

Investment Overview

 

Upon completion of the Series #82AV1 Offering, Series #82AV1 will purchase a 1982 Aston Martin V8 Vantage ‘Oscar India’ (at times described as the “V8 Vantage” or “Oscar India” throughout this Offering Circular) as the underlying asset for Series #82AV1 (the “Series Aston Martin Oscar India” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #82AV1, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

The Aston Martin V8 was introduced in 1969 as the company’s first eight-cylinder car. At the heart of the platform was a hand-built, quad-cam, V8 engine designed by Tadek Marek, the same engineer behind the engines that delivered Aston Martin an overall victory at Le Mans just a decade prior. The popularity of the Aston Martin V8 would see the model remain in continuous production until 1989, when it was replaced by another V8-powered car, the Virage. 

In 1977 Aston Martin introduced the V8 “Vantage,” reviving the moniker which first appeared on their high-performance models in the 1950s. The ‘Oscar India’ Vantage, introduced in 1978, offered a number of performance upgrades and aerodynamic improvements over the standard V8, resulting in total output of 425 HP, capable of 0-60 mph in just over five seconds, making it the fastest accelerating automobile in the world upon introduction. 

The Series Aston Martin Oscar India is one of 291 coupes built from 1978 - 1986 as part of the ‘Oscar India’ series (so named for their October 1 introduction in 1978) and is one of just 64 cars originally built in left-hand drive.  

The increased performance of the Vantage engine resulted in the engine failing US emissions requirements. As a result, the majority of V8 Vantages delivered to North America had the cosmetic appearance of a Vantage, but without any of the mechanical upgrades. The Series Aston Martin Oscar India is one of only three cars delivered to North America in full Vantage specification including both cosmetic and mechanical items.  

The Series Aston Martin Oscar India benefits from long term ownership under the family of the original owner, complemented by a recent and comprehensive restoration by marque specialists. 

The Series Aston Martin Oscar India is accompanied by extensive documentation dating back to 1996, including a full record of the bare-metal restoration undertaken in 2016. A factory supplied build record confirms the original specifications and delivery of the car. The Underlying Asset also retains its owner’s manual, tools, and factory jack.  

 

Asset Description

 

Ownership & Maintenance History

 

Built in January of 1982, the Series Aston Martin Oscar India was delivered new to its original owner in Alberta, Canada. The Underlying Asset would stay in the original owner’s possession until his passing in 1991, at which time the Underlying Asset was relocated to Los Angeles and remained under the care of his family until 2015. 

In 2016, the second owner commissioned a full cosmetic restoration by a marque specialist at Autosport Design in Long Island, New York. This included a bare metal repaint and full interior reupholstering utilizing proper tobacco Connolly-style leather and Wilton carpets, bringing the Series Aston Martin Oscar India to excellent or “concours condition”. The Underlying Asset did not require a full engine rebuild, instead receiving a comprehensive mechanical service. Compression levels were found to be within factory standards. 

In August of 2016, the Underlying Asset crossed the block at the RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale, trading hands to the current owner for $357,500, inclusive of the buyer’s premium.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES 1947 JACKIE ROBINSON NEWS PHOTO

Investment Overview

 

·Upon completion of the Series #47JACKIE Offering, Series #47JACKIE will purchase a 1947 Jackie Robinson Original News Photograph Authenticated by PSA/DNA Type 1 as the Underlying Asset for Series #47JACKIE (The “Series 1947 Jackie Robinson News Photo” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #47JACKIE, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

·Jackie Robinson was a professional baseball player who debuted in the MLB in 1947 for the Brooklyn Dodgers as the first African American to play in the MLB in the modern era and is known as a civil rights icon for breaking the baseball color barrier. 

·The Leaf Gum Company released their 1948-49 baseball set as the first color set after the end of World War Two, featuring nine Hall of Fame rookie cards of players like Stan Musial, Satchel Paige, and Jackie Robinson. 

·The Underlying Asset is a 1947 Jackie Robinson Original News Photograph Authenticated by PSA/DNA Type 1. 

 

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·The 1948 Leaf Baseball set consists of 98 cards, each measuring 2-3/8’’ by 2-7/8’’. 

·The 1948 Leaf Baseball set was the first major issue to use “skip-numbering,” meaning that when gathering the full set numbered to 168, there are some gaps. Some suggest that this was a deliberate effort on the part of Leaf to encourage collectors to purchase additional packs in hope of finding the missing numbers.  

·Professional Sports Authenticator considers the 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson #79 Rookie Card to be the only true rookie card of Jackie Robinson. 

·Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919 in Cairo, Georgia to a family of sharecroppers. 

·In 1945, Robinson played one season in the Negro Baseball League for the Kansas City Monarchs. 

·In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers President Branch Rickey asked Robinson to join the Dodgers. At the time, the MLB had not had an African American player since 1889, and had since been strictly segregated. 

·For Robinson’s rookie season, he was awarded the National League Rookie of the Year award after hitting .297 with 12 homeruns, 29 stolen bases, and 48 runs batted in. 

·Robinson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962 after playing 10 seasons in the MLB, winning one MVP award, one Batting Title, and being selected to six All-Star Games. 

·In 1997, Jackie Robinson’s number 42 was retired by the MLB, the first to be retired by all teams in the league. 

·A Type 1 Photo is the highest-grade distinction offered by PSA for photographs: “A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within approximately two years of when the picture was taken).” 

·According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Once described as “the sports scoop of the century,” an article in The New York Herald Tribune on May 9, 1947, stated that “some” Cardinals had instigated a strike of NL players to refuse playing against Robinson, and that this plan had been “averted.” The report’s flaws were revealed within its own paragraphs and within days. It has been largely debunked by historians.” 

·The Underlying Asset has been issued a grade of Type 1 Authentic by Professional Sports Authenticators (PSA) with certification No. 1P02443.

·The Underlying Asset is a 1947 Jackie Robinson Original News Photograph Authenticated by PSA/DNA Type 1.

B-12



·The Underlying Asset was originally issued on May 12, 1947 by Acme Newspictures.

·Doyle described his mother as an excellent storyteller, writing in his autobiography: “In my early childhood, as far as I can remember anything at all, the vivid stories she would tell me stand out so clearly that they obscure the real facts of my life.”

·After his father was committed to a mental hospital, Doyle went on to pursue a career in medicine — studying at the University of Edinburgh. An account of his father’s confinement can be found in a story Doyle wrote in 1880, called “The Surgeon of Gaster Fell.”

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·Nintendo is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company founded in 1889 which remains a one of the highest-grossing video game companies in the world. 

·The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) was released in the US on August 23, 1991, becoming the first successor to the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). 

·The character of Mario was created by Japanese graphic artist Shigeru Miyamoto, who originally introduced the character as “Jumpman” in the first Donkey Kong video game. 

·The first Super Mario Bros. video game was released as one of the original 17 “Black Box” games made for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) during the original release in 1985. 

·Nintendo released Super Mario Bros. 2 in the U.S. in September 1988. 

·Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in the U.S. for the NES in 1990, going on to sell more than 17 million copies. 

·Super Mario World was released on August 23, 1991.  It sold 20.5 million copies, making it the bestselling game for the SNES, according to WarpedFactor.com. 

·While Super Mario World is considered the best-selling game for the SNES, in most cases it came as a loose cartridge bundled with the SNES console as described by WarpedFactor.com and GameCubicle.com, so copies of the box that sold individually without the console are rarer than the cart-only console bundled variant. 

·Player’s Choice logo appeared on later editions of Super Mario World.  These SNES versions were released for titles that sold at least one million copies, according to a Nintendo press release. 

·Super Mario World was the first Mario game to introduce the popular character, “Yoshi,” a dinosaur Mario interacts with.  The character was conceived before Super Mario World, but the NES was not powerful enough to have a secondary character Mario could ride on, and hop off of, at any given time. 

·In September of 1991, a Super Mario World cartoon series was released by DIC Entertainment.  The plot was primarily taken from the SNES title of the same name.  The series followed Mario, his brother Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Yoshi the dinosaur as they battled the nefarious King Koopa. 

·Super Mario World was re-released alongside several other remastered NES titles in Super Mario All Stars, which was the second bestselling SNES game of all time, selling more than 10 million copies. 

·In 2018, IGN named Super Mario World the greatest video game ever made. 

·In 2002 Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 was released on the Game Boy Advance, porting all 74 levels of the SNES game, generating great reviews more than a decade after the original release. It sold over five million copies and was the fifth highest selling game for the Game Boy Advance. 

·Super Mario World was released on Wii Virtual Console in 2007. 


B-28



·The Super Mario Bros. series is considered the most successful gaming franchise of all time, with more than 240,000,000 units sold since its inception. 

·The Underlying Asset has been authenticated by Wata Games and issued a grade of 9.4 A with certification number 573849-002.

·Upon completion of the Series #MACWORLD1 Offering, Series #MACWORLD1 will purchase a 1984 Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak Signed Issue of Macworld #1 as the Underlying Asset for Series #MACWORLD1 (The “Series 1984 Macworld #1” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #MACWORLD1, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

·Apple is a technology company known for producing some of the most successful products in consumer tech history such as the Macintosh, the iPod, and the iPhone. 

·Macworld was a print magazine dedicated to the Apple brand. The magazine is responsible for the creation of the Macworld Expo, which is known as “one of the few successful tech conferences ever aimed at consumers rather than industry types,” according to Fast Company. 

·The Underlying Asset is a 1984 Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak Signed Issue of Macworld #1. 

 

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

·Apple was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in Los Altos, California on April 1, 1976. A third cofounder, Ronald Wayne, joined them as well to provide business guidance, sketching the first Apple logo by hand, but ultimately leaving the company before its incorporation, accepting an $800 check for his shares in the company. 

·Apple’s first product was the Apple-1, a motherboard with a processor and some memory intended for hobbyists invented by Wozniak, who hand-built every kit. Customers had to build their own case and add their own keyboard and monitor. 

·The Apple-1 cost $250 to build and the original sale-price was $666.66. 

·Apple produced 200 Apple-1 computers. 

·The second batch of Apple-1 computers have a logo with letters “NTI” under the Apple-1 logo. 

·Apple’s initial market was Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club, a group of enthusiasts and personal computing hobbyists. 

·In October 1977, the Apple-1 was discontinued, with Apple offering discounts and trade-ins, destroying those that were returned. 

·The Apple-2, designed by Wozniak in 1977, was the first personal computer to achieve significant commercial success. 

·The Apple-2 would go on to sell between five and six million units over more than a decade. 

·In 1980, Apple released the Apple-3, a business focused computer meant to compete with IBM and Microsoft. 

·In 1984, Apple released a TV commercial called “1984” directed by Ridley Scott that aired a single time during the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII and never again. The commercial cost Apple $1.5 million and helped make the company a household name. 

·In 1985, after a failed coup on the part of Jobs, Apple’s board of directors removed Jobs from his duties and Jobs quite Apple. 

·Wozniak left the company in 1985, selling most of his shares and claiming he felt the company was going in the wrong direction. 

·After a series of failures and lagging financial performance, Apple purchased NeXT Computer, the company Jobs had gone on to found, and brought the founder back in-house in February 1997.  

·On July 4 weekend of 1997, Jobs staged a successful boardroom coup and was installed as interim CEO. 

·In 1997, another famous Apple advertising campaign was launched, “Think Different,” which featured famous artists, scientists, and musicians. 

·In 2001, Apple released the iPod. 

·In 2007, Apple released the iPhone. 

·In August 2020, Apple became a $2 trillion company, just 24 months after reaching the $1 trillion threshold. 

·Macworld magazine became a popular magazine for Apple enthusiasts after its 1984 launch. On the cover of its first issue Jobs is depicted behind a display of three Macintosh computers, which was released the same day, covering the newest product in the first issue.  


B-36



·Macworld continued to run as a print magazine until November 2014, when the publication transitioned to a website. 

·The Macintosh is a series of Apple computers introduced by Apple on January 24, 1984. 

·The Macintosh was based on a “vertical integration model” used in all Apple hardware and created its own operating system (later known as Mac OS) pre-installed on Mac computers. This is in direct opposition to the common practice of many PCs produced by IBM which allows for multiple businesses to build features for their product. 

·The Macintosh was meant to be used by the average person rather than only experts. 

·The Underlying Asset is certified by a PSA/DNA letter of authenticity. 

 

Notable Features

·The Underlying Asset is a 1984 Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak Signed Issue of Macworld #1. 

·The Underlying Asset comes from the collection of a senior product marketing manager for “QuickTime technology at Apple’s corporate office in Cupertino, CA, from 1992-2000.” 

·The Underlying Asset was given to the product marketing manager as a gift from an employee of Macworld Magazine in either 1995 or 1996. The gift recipient was called to meet with Jobs in 1997 to discuss the QuickTime technology. The two continued to have meetings and a few months later Jobs was signing the 5-year plaques of employees to celebrate their time at the company. This original owner brought their plaque to Jobs in his office as well as the Underlying Asset, which Jobs signed. 

·The Underlying Asset was signed by Steve Wozniak “a few years later” at Macworld in San Francisco. When Wozniak was asked to sign, he said “Sure! Let’s make this complete!'" 

 

 

Notable Defects

 

·The Underlying Asset’s condition is consistent with its Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.

·Justinian II was the last Byzantine emperor of the Heraclian dynasty, ruling from 685-695 and then again from 705-711. 

·The first coin known to depict a portrait of Jesus Christ was struck by Justinian II during his first reign as the Emperor of the Heraclian dynasty.

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·Justinian II was born c. 669 AD. 

·Justinian II became the Byzantine Emperor of the Heraclian dynasty at age 16 after the death of his father, Constantine IV, in September 685. 

·Justinian II convened the Quinisext Council (also known as the Council in Trullo) in 692, a meeting which declared 102 “canons,” or statements of religious customs and practices, many of which contradicted the traditions of the Western Church. Among these acts was a “decree that Christ should be represented in human form, rather than as a Lamb, condemned one of the more common themes of symbolic early Christian imagery which had been quite popular in the West,” according to the Numismatic Iconography of Justinian II. 

·Though it is not known whether Justinian II’s decisions to mint coins featuring Christ in human form were a direct result of the Council in Trullo, the coin represented a significant split between the Pope and Justinian II nonetheless. This widened the “dispute between those who favored the use of such religious imagery (εικονοδουλοι, "image worshippers") and those who opposed its use (εικονοκλαστοι, "image smashers"), a dispute that also played a role in the expanding ideological confrontation between Christianity and Islam, with al-Malik introducing aniconic coin types at about the same time as Justinian was placing Christ on the Byzantine solidus,” according to the Classical Numismatic Group (CNG). 

·As described on the Heritage Auctions website, the image of Christ used on the coin is suspected to be based on the image of Christ in the Great Palace of Constantinople. 

·Justinian II portrayed Christ on the coin as a “show of his religious devotion,” according to Coin Week. 

·Justinian II died in December 711. 

·According to the Professional Numismatists Guild: “the aggregate prices realized for U.S. rare coins sold at major public auctions in 2020 totaled nearly $369 million. The aggregate total was $325 million in 2019; $345 million in 2018; and $316 million in 2017.” 

·The Underlying Asset has been issued a graded of Ch MS (Strike: 4/5, Surface: 5/5) by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) with Certification No. 4938331-230.

·The first James Bond novel, Casino Royale by Ian Fleming, was published by Jonathan Cape in April of 1953. This book introduced the world to gentleman spy, James “007” Bond.  The plot involves Bond attempting to defeat a soviet agent in a high stakes card game. 

·In 1848, Omega Watch Company was founded in a small workshop established by Louis Brandt in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. 

·The Underlying Asset is a 1999 Omega Seamaster Watch Worn by Pierce Brosnan During the Filming of The World is Not Enough. 

 

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·The first James Bond novel, Casino Royale by Ian Fleming was published by Jonathan Cape in April of 1953. This book introduced the world to gentleman spy, James “007” Bond.  The plot involves Bond attempting to defeat a soviet agent at a high stakes card game. 

·In November of 1995, the film Goldeneye was released. This was the first Bond movie to feature Pierce Brosnan in the title role, as well as the first time an Omega watch was worn by 007 instead of a Rolex.  Omega would go on to be Bond’s watch of choice for the next nine films, including the most recent James Bond movie, No Time to Die. 

·The first James Bond film, Dr. No, starring Sean Connery, was released on October 5th, 1962.  This date goes on to become known worldwide as James Bond day. This film would feature Bond wearing a Rolex watch, as Fleming had noted in his novels. The brand of watch would change to Omega in 1995 with Pierce Brosnan’s in the role of Bond starting with the film Goldeneye. James Bond film costume designer, Lindy Hemming, suggested Brosnan’s Bond wear an OMEGA watch to make him more “modern and European.” She explained to the New York Times that in the nineties, “Rolex was part of a city boy culture. It didn’t seem appropriate to Bond at that moment.”  

·The World is Not Enough, the third Pierce Brosnan Bond feature, was released on November 19, 1999, and would go on to make over $35 million during its North American opening weekend, with a worldwide gross of over $360 million. 

·In 1995, a British Production Company specializing in James Bond films, Eon Productions, chose to change Bond’s watch from a Rolex to an Omega due to Hemming’s take on the Brosnan iteration of Bond, as she explained to Monochrome: “I was convinced that Commander Bond, a naval man, a diver and a discreet gentleman of the world would wear the Seamaster with the blue dial.” 

·A Nintendo 64 video game based on The World is Not Enough was released on November 2, 2000, to positive reviews, including that of Newsweek, which said of the game, “The visuals were strong, the gunplay felt precise, and you got to experiment with a lot of fun gadgets.” 

·The band Garbage released the theme song for The World is Not Enough, which spends 10 weeks in the Top 100 with sales of 96,338 units sold, in October of 1999, about a month before the release of the film. 

·After playing the starring role in 3 previous features, the fourth and final Pierce Brosnan Bond Film, Die Another Day, was released in November of 2002. 

·The Underlying Asset is accompanied by a Certificate Of Authenticity from Omega as well as a letter confirming its provenance.

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·The Ice Bowl was attended by over 50,000 fans in Green Bay Wisconsin on New Year’s Eve, 1967. 

·The Ice Bowl was played between the Packers (who had won the previous two NFL Championships) and the Cowboys. 

·According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: “From the start, Green Bay fans felt their team had a distinct advantage over the warm-weather Cowboys, [sic] After all, the Packers lived and practiced in the cold Wisconsin climate.” 

·Packers quarterback Bart Starr opened scoring with two touchdown passes, bringing the Packers to a 14-0 lead in the 2nd quarter. 

·After a recovered fumble for a touchdown by the Cowboys’ George Andrie and a 21-yard field goal by the Cowboys’ Danny Villanueva, the first half ended with the score 14-10 Packers. 

·In the 4th quarter, the Cowboys’ Dan Reeves threw a 50-yard pass to take the lead. 

·With 4:50 left in the game, the Packers were down 17-14. Having driven down the field all the way to the 1-yard line, Starr won the game with a quarterback sneak with 16 seconds left on the clock. 

·Bart Starr was a Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback who played 16 seasons with the Packers, winning 5 NFL championships, 2 Super Bowls (winning MVP honors in the first two Super Bowls ever played), and was named the league’s most valuable player in 1966. He retired prior to the 1972 season. 

·Vince Lombardi was a Hall of Fame coach who began his head coaching career in 1959, winning NFL Coach of the Year in his rookie season. He is widely considered one of the greatest head coaches in the history of the game. He won 5 NFL Championships and 2 Super Bowls.

·While the NFL officially formed in 1920, the first Super Bowl was played more than 40 years later. The Super Bowl was a result of the American Football League, which was founded in 1960 and would merge with the NFL in 1970, delivering their best team to play against the NFL’s. The Packers’ victory in The Ice Bowl sent them to Super Bowl II, where they would beat the Raiders. 

·The Ice Bowl was the coldest game in NFL history by temperature at -13 degrees, with wind chills between 33 to 37 degrees below zero. 

·According to an account written for ESPN Classic: “Before the season, Lombardi had spent $80,000 on an electric heating system installed under Lambeau Field’s turf. But on this day, it would be rendered useless.”

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·Nintendo is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company founded in 1889. The company remains a high grossing developer, with $2.286 Billion in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019. 

·The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was a console released by Nintendo for U.S. Markets in 19852

·The NES was launched in New York City in October 1985, Los Angeles in February 1986, and the rest of North America in September of 1986.  Nintendo sold 61.9 million NES units worldwide. 

·The NES system was sold new in the United States until it was discontinued in 1995. 

·Shigeru Miyamoto was hired by Nintendo after graduating from college with hopes of becoming a toy-designer. Instead, the young designer would be tasked with working on art for Nintendo’s new video games. 

·Nintendo’s early video games (“Sheriff” and “Radar Scope”) were successful in Japan, but when the company tried to enter the U.S. market to compete with Taito and Namco, they were met with failure, only selling 1,000 units of “Radar Scope” and finding themselves left with unwanted expensive inventory. 

·In order to avoid financial ruin, Miyamoto was placed in charge of a new project to save Nintendo’s video game department. Despite no game design experience (he simply gave direction to the design team to execute on his ideas), Miyamoto approached the design of this new game differently than his predecessors, placing characters with individual personalities and stories at the center of his vision. 

·Miyamoto had first hoped to base a game on Popeye and “his perpetual battle with Bluto over his damsel in distress, Olive Oyl.” Instead, due to licensing issues, “the designer superimposed the classic love triangle over a King Kong theme.” 

·The first “Donkey Kong” game was released in the U.S. on June 2, 1981, featuring “Jumpman” (later renamed “Mario” after Nintendo’s landlord) and his pet gorilla Donkey Kong, who had “turned on his owner, kidnapped his girlfriend and taken her hostage atop the towering steel beams of a construction site.” 

·The first Donkey Kong game had four distinct screens, reminiscent of a Manga panel, and featured “a story, a sense of humor, funny music (which Miyamoto helped write), and an ingenious game logic,” according to the New Yorker. 

·After a 1982 sequel titled “Donkey Kong Jr.,” Nintendo released Donkey Kong 3 as an arcade game 1983, the same year as “Mario Bros.” “Donkey Kong 3” did not feature Mario, who is replaced by Stanley the Bugman, a gardener armed with bug spray which he uses to defend his plants. 

·In June 1986, Donkey Kong 3 was “ported” to the NES for U.S. audiences. 

·Donkey Kong 3 was re-released for the Nintendo Switch in April 2019. 

·The Super Famicom (SNES) was released in November 1990 in Japan. 

·Donkey Kong Country was released on November 20th, 1990, for the Super Famicom in Japan. 

·According to Rolling Stone: “When fans started queuing outside electronic stores throughout Japan on November 20th, they knew they were getting an entirely new platform, not some continuation or add-on; yet they were assured that the experiences they loved – MarioZeldaMetroid – would all be returning. In his seminal book, The Ultimate History of Videogames, Steve Kent writes about the chaos that hit when it was clear only 300,000 units would be available. ‘All of Tokyo was slowed down by the crowds,’ he wrote. ‘The pushing and shoving were so chaotic that the Japanese government later asked Nintendo and  


B-53



other video game companies to restrict future hardware releases to weekends.’ What these consumers were witnessing was the birth of the modern sequential console business, where each generation of hardware is related but discrete. This is where the future started.”

·In 2008, IGN named Donkey Kong Country 28th on their list of the “Top SNES Games.” IGN wrote: “Donkey Kong Country is the game that saved the Super Nintendo.” 

·The PlayStation was released in December 1994. At the time, the SNES seemed like it was destined to be overrun by the technologically savvy PlayStation. Donkey Kong Country delivered, in the words of IGN, “an amazing and eye-catching new graphical style that no one could imagine the Super was actually capable of such graphical feats.” 

·Diddy Kong, a character featured in many subsequent Donkey Kong games (known as Donkey Kong’s nephew), first appeared in Donkey Kong Country. 

·Donkey Kong Country sold 9.3 million copies, the third most SNES game of all time. 

·The Underlying Asset has been authenticated by Wata Games and issued a grade of 9.4 A+ with certification number 574600-027.

·The Underlying Asset is a 1994 SNES Donkey Kong Country Video Game graded Wata 9.4 A+.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES 1979 STAR WARS MILLENNIUM FALCON ACTION FIGURE

Investment Overview

 

·Upon completion of the Series #FALCON Offering, Series #FALCON will purchase a 1979 Kenner Star Wars Millennium Falcon Spaceship Action Figure graded AFA 80 for Series #FALCON (The “Series 1979 Star Wars Millennium Falcon Action Figure” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #FALCON, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

·Star Wars is a series of films created by George Lucas that has spawned a wide-spanning industry since its debut in 1977, including ongoing films and TV shows, merchandise, trading cards, toys, and video games. The New York Times called Star Wars a “cultural behemoth.” 

·Kenner Products was founded in 1947 by Albert, Phillip, and Joseph Kenner. The company would go on to produce toys such as the Easy-Bake Oven and Star Wars action figures. 

·The Millennium Falcon is remembered as one of the more successful figures in the early Kenner Star Wars action figure lineup because of its production longevity. It was produced continuously until 1985, which was the final year of Kenner’s Star Wars toy production. According to toy expert Mark Bellomo: “The Millennium Falcon was one of the more popular Star Wars toys because it was more than a mere vehicle or starship; it was a playset.” 

·The Underlying Asset is a 1979 Kenner Star Wars Millennium Falcon Spaceship Action Figure graded AFA 80. 

 

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·The first Star Wars film was released on May 25, 1977 (later retitled “Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope”). Directed by George Lucas, the “Space Opera” grossed an estimated $775,398,007 at the worldwide box office. 

·Following the debut hit, the franchise has since released a total of 11 films, with “Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker” arriving in theatres on December 20, 2019. 

·The Walt Disney Company announced they agreed to acquire Lucasfilm Ltd. on October 30, 2012. Through this deal Disney acquired ownership of Star Wars and associated businesses in film, consumer products, animation, and more. 

·After the success of the Star Wars film in 1977, Kenner signed a licensing deal to produce Star Wars toys. According to Cincinnati.com, other toy companies turned down the deal because at the time toy companies generally produced toys related to TV shows due to the longer exposure period but not movies. 

·A Kenner designer named Jim Swearingen “recalled reading the ‘Star Wars’ script and telling his bosses they had to do these toys.” 

·Since Kenner knew they wanted to produce toys of the spaceships from Star Wars, they scaled down the figures from the common 8 or 12 inches to 3.75 inches. This became “the new industry standard.” 

·In the fall of 1977, Kenner produced puzzles and a board game, but the action figures would take a year to produce and would not meet the holiday deadline. According to Cincinnati.com: “…they tried a bit of innovative marketing. Kenner whipped up a cardboard stand and an “Early Bird Certificate Package” that promised delivery of the first four figures (Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and R2-D2) when they were available the next year. The company essentially sold parents an empty box, an I.O.U., to put under the tree on Christmas morning.” 

·Kenner’s Star Wars action figures were added to the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2012. 

·StarWars.com says of the 1979 Millennium Falcon figure, “It measured about 53 centimeters long, and compared to a figure of Han Solo (about 10 centimeters tall) was almost four times too small. If Kenner had built the Falcon on a 1:1 scale with the figures, it would have been about 190 centimeters long.” 

·StarWars.com reveals, “The biggest asset of the toy is a large living area that can hold a lot of action figures. Although Kenner misplaced this area compared to its location in the movies, it was the only place that offered enough room and playability for the figures.” 


B-57



·The designer of the Millennium Falcon toy, Mark Boudreaux, has designed every toy version of the ship.  He designed the first 1979 edition, and the latest Hasbro “Force Awakens” version for the 2015 film of the same name. 

·Producing the Millennium Falcon toy took about a year, with prototypes being rendered in wood and wax. Boudreaux tells Bloomberg News, “If you wanted to make changes, you couldn’t just push a button and spit out an image… You literally had to redraw it.” 

·In 1991 Kenner was purchased by Hasbro, though many Star Wars toy designers stay at the company.  This includes Millennium Falcon toy designer, Boudreaux. Hasbro continues to use the Kenner logo off and on specifically with vintage and retro releases. 

·In 2003, Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon was released for Game Boy Advance.  It was the first Star Wars game with Millennium Falcon in the title. 

·Mark Boudreaux won toy designer of the year for his Battle Action Millennium Falcon made in conjunction with the 2015 film, Rise of the Skywalker.  

·Solo: A Star Wars Story came out in May of 2018 and highlights a young Han Solo and his ship, the Millennium Falcon. Boudreaux, once again, designed the toy. 

·Mark Boudreaux retired from Hasbro in March of 2020. 

·The Underlying Asset has been issued a grade of AFA NM 80 by Action Figure Authority (AFA) with Certification No. 11432445. 

 

Notable Features

 

·The Underlying Asset is a 1979 Kenner Star Wars Millennium Falcon Spaceship Action Figure graded AFA 80. 

·The Underlying Asset is 1 of 5 1979 Kenner Star Wars Millennium Falcon Spaceship Action Figure examples graded AFA 80 with 4 graded higher.

·The Underlying Asset’s condition is consistent with its condition grade from AFA.

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 #TICKER, a series of RSE Collection, LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (the “Company”), the number of Series #TICKER Interests (the “Series #TICKER Interests”) set forth on the front of this Subscription Agreement at a purchase price of $PRICE (USD) per Series #TICKER Interest and on the terms and conditions of the Fifth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement  (as amended, restated, and supplemented from time to time the “Operating Agreement”) governing the Company dated on or around the date of acceptance of this subscription by RSE Collection Manager, LLC, the managing member of the Company (the “Manager”), 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 NUMBER Series #TICKER Interests for maximum aggregate gross proceeds of $AMOUNT (the “Offering”), unless further Series #TICKER 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 #TICKER 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 (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 through the payment services of a payment services provider, integrated with the mobile app-based investment platform called Rally Rd.™ (or its successor platform) operated by the Manager or its Affiliates (as defined below in Section 6) . 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.   

3.1In 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, (b) the Offering is terminated by the Manager in its sole discretion, or (c) the Company has not accepted subscriptions for the minimum amount of interests to be issued for an Offering of a particular series of the Company, as set forth in the offering circular or amendment or supplement thereto with respect to such Offering, within the time period set forth in  


3 



subsection (a), the Closing shall not take place and the Company will cause the Escrow Agent 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.  

3.2The 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 #TICKER 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 Manager shall cause the Escrow Agent to return 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 #TICKER.  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 #TICKER 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 #TICKER and the Manager as follows: 

(a)The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Series #TICKER Interests involves a significant degree of risk, and the Purchaser understands that the Company is subject to all the risks applicable to early-stage companies. 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 #TICKER 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 #TICKER 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 #TICKER 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.

(i)The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, the Manager, the BOR or any of their respective employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Series #TICKER Interests, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own advisors, if any, whom the Purchaser has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Series #TICKER Interests. 

(j)No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser's Affiliates is required for the execution of this Subscription Agreement or the performance of the Purchaser's obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the purchase of the Series #TICKER Interests by the Purchaser.

company or other entity, represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Series #TICKER Interests, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Series #TICKER Interests, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Subscription Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Subscription Agreement, and such individual, partnership, ward, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity.  The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

(m)Any power of attorney of the Purchaser granted in favor of the Manager contained in the Operating Agreement has been executed by the Purchaser in compliance with the laws of the state, province or jurisdiction in which such agreements were executed. 

(n)If an entity, the Purchaser has its principal place of business or, if a natural person, the Purchaser has its primary residence, in the jurisdiction (state and/or country) set forth in the “Investor Qualification and Attestation” section of this Subscription Agreement.  The Purchase first learned of the offer and sale of the Series #TICKER Interests in the state listed in the “Investor Qualification and Attestation” section of this Subscription Agreement, and the Purchaser intends that the securities laws of that state shall govern the purchase of the Purchaser’s Series #TICKER Interests.  

(o)The Purchaser is either (i) a natural person resident in the United States, (ii) a partnership, corporation or limited liability company organized under the laws of the United States, (iii) an estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person, (iv) a trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person, (v) an agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States, (vi) a non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person, or (vii) a partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction that was formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.  The Purchaser is not (A) a discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held for the benefit or account of a non-U.S. person by a dealer or other professional fiduciary organized, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the United States, (B) an estate of which any professional fiduciary acting as executor or administrator is a U.S. person if an executor or administrator of the estate who is not a U.S. person has sole or shared investment discretion with respect to the assets of the estate and the estate is governed by foreign law, (C) a trust of which any professional fiduciary acting as trustee is a U.S. person, if a trustee who is not a U.S. person has sole or shared investment discretion with respect to the trust assets and no beneficiary of the trust (and no settlor if the trust is revocable) is a U.S. person, (D) an employee  


6

(p)Any information which the Purchaser has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company is true, complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Manager, the Company and the BOR, in particular, in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws in connection with the Offering.  The Purchaser further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Series #TICKER Interests. 

(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 #TICKER 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 #TICKER 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 #TICKER 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  


7 



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 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.

6.Indemnification.  The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Series #TICKER, the Manager, each Affiliate of the Company and the Manager, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, members, partners, control persons (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. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the person in question. As used herein, the term control means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. 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 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 #TICKER 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 Exclusive 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, and the Operating Agreement, except where Federal Law requires that certain claims be brought in Federal Courts, and (ii) consents to the service of process by mail. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Company acknowledges for the avoidance of doubt that this Section 11 shall not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and by agreeing  


9 



to the provisions of this Section 11, the Purchaser will not be deemed to have waived  compliance with U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

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

12.1Sections 15.1 (Addresses and Notices), 15.2 (Further Action) and 15.8 (Applicable Law and Jurisdiction) of the Operating Agreement are deemed incorporated into this Subscription Agreement. 

12.2This 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. 

12.3The 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 #TICKER Interests, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party, and shall survive delivery of any payment for the Subscription Price. 

12.4Except 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. 

12.5This 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. 

12.6Each provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be considered separable and, if for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid or contrary to applicable law, such invalidity or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect the remaining portions of this Subscription Agreement. 

12.7Paragraph titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Subscription Agreement as set forth in the text.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSCRIPTION ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

This Third Amended and Restated Subscription Escrow Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made effective as of December 8, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and between RSE Collection, LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company with its principal place of business located at 250 Lafayette Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10012 (the “Company”), Dalmore Group, LLC, a New York limited liability company with its principal place of business located at 525 Green Place, Woodmere, NY 11598 (the “Broker-Dealer of Record”), and Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., a Georgia banking corporation (the “Escrow Agent”).

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 Seventy-Five Million dollars ($75,000,000) (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 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 Broker-Dealer of Record (each, an “Authorized Representative,” and together, the “Authorized Representatives”) 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 Broker-Dealer of Record 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, (c) the acceptance of the Subscription Agreements by the  


1



Company for an Offering of a particular series of the Company, and (d) the acceptance of subscriptions for the minimum amount of interests to be issued for an Offering of a particular series of the Company, as set forth in the offering circular or amendment or supplement thereto with respect to such Offering (the “Total Minimum Interests”).

 

(b)Upon request, the Company shall deliver electronically to the Escrow Agent, in a form acceptable to the Escrow Agent, schedules disclosing the name and address of each of the Subscribers, the number of Interests subscribed for by each Subscriber, the federal tax identification number of each of the Subscribers, the amount of Subscription Proceeds received from each Subscriber, and such other information as may be required and is reasonably available to the Company. The Escrow Agent shall deposit each Subscriber’s Subscription Proceeds into a non-interest-bearing account. 

 

(c)The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to enforce the collection or demand payment of any funds from the Company, the Broker-Dealer of Record, or any investor. 

 

2.Rejection of Subscription Agreement. 

 

(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.Total Minimum Interests.  The Broker-Dealer of Record agrees to notify the Company once it has received subscriptions for the Total Minimum Interests, based on Broker-Dealer of Record’s review of the Subscription Agreements and related documentation. Broker-Dealer of Record and the Company shall jointly review the Company’s records and Broker-Dealer of Record shall corroborate that, to the best of the Broker-Dealer of Record’s knowledge after due inquiry and review of the Company’s records, (i) full payment for the number of Interests equal to or greater than the Total Minimum Interests have been received, delivered to and collected by the Escrow Agent, (ii) that such subscriptions have not been withdrawn, rejected or otherwise terminated, and (iii) that the Subscribers have no statutory or regulatory rights of rescission without cause or all  


2



such rights have expired.  It is the Company’s responsibility to confirm that the Total Minimum Interests have been received.

 

4.Disbursements. 

 

(a)Upon notification by an authorized person of the Company to the Escrow Agent that a Contingency has occurred, the Escrow Agent shall disburse Subscription Proceeds related to that specific offering of a series of the Company in its possession to the account of such series in accordance with the instructions and payment file provided by the Company and the Broker-Dealer of Record in writing (the “Initial Disbursement”).  An Authorized Representative shall notify the Escrow Agent of the timing of and how to disburse Subscription Proceeds deposited after the Initial Disbursement, if applicable. 

 

(b)If the Offering with respect to any series has been terminated by the Company or the Broker-Dealer of Record, 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 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any federal or state tax report or return with respect to any funds held pursuant to this Agreement. 

 

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

 

5.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. 

 

6.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  


3



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 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 Broker-Dealer of Record 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


4



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 Broker-Dealer of Record. 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 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 Broker-Dealer of Record 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 Broker-Dealer of Record, 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.  


5



The term “Losses” shall mean all losses, costs, damages, expenses, judgments and liabilities of whatever nature (including but not limited to attorneys’, accountants’ and other professionals’ fees, litigation and court costs and expenses and amounts paid in settlement), directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of or relating to one or more Claims. Upon the written request of the Escrow Agent or any such officer, director, employee or agent (each referred to hereinafter as an “Indemnified Party”), the Company agrees to assume the investigation and defense of any Claim, including the employment of counsel acceptable to the applicable Indemnified Party and the payment of all expenses related thereto and, notwithstanding any such assumption, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, and the Company and Broker-Dealer of Record agree to pay the costs and expense thereof, to employ separate counsel with respect to any such Claim and to participate in the investigation and defense thereof in the event that such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by legal counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Company or the Broker-Dealer of Record. The Company and Broker-Dealer of Record hereby agree that the indemnifications and protections afforded Escrow Agent and the other Indemnified Parties in this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. 

 

(h)The Company acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is serving as escrow agent for the limited purposes set forth herein and represents, covenants and warrants to the Escrow Agent that no statement or representation, whether oral or in writing, has been or will be made to any Subscriber to the effect that the Escrow Agent has investigated the desirability or advisability of investment in the Interests or approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of such investment or is otherwise involved in any manner with the transactions contemplated hereby, other than as Escrow Agent under this Agreement. It is further agreed that the Company shall not, without the Escrow Agent’s prior written consent, use the name “Atlantic Capital”, “Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A.” or any variation thereof in any sales presentation, placement or offering memorandum or literature pertaining directly or indirectly to the Offering except strictly in the context of the duties of the Escrow Agent as escrow agent under this Agreement and in general references to the Broker-Dealer of Record’s frequent retention of the Escrow Agent; provided, that the Company shall be permitted to publicly file a copy of this Agreement pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any similar regulatory authority. Any breach or violation of the paragraph shall be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by the Escrow Agent. 

 

(i)The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or responsibility for determining whether the Interests or the offer and sale thereof conform to the requirements of applicable Federal or state securities laws, including but not limited to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company and the Broker-Dealer of Record represent and warrant to the Escrow Agent that the Offering will comply in all respects with applicable Federal and state securities laws and further represents and warrants that the Company has obtained and acted upon the advice of legal counsel with respect to such compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws. The Company acknowledges that the Escrow Agent has not participated in the preparation or review of any sales or offering material relating to the Offering or the Interests. In addition to any other indemnities provided for in this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and each of its officers,  


6



directors, agents and employees from and against all claims, liabilities, losses and damages (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Escrow Agent or such persons and which directly or indirectly result from any violation or alleged violation of any Federal or state securities laws in respect of the Interests or the Offering.

Re:RSE Collection, LLC – Post-Qualification Amendment No. 5 to the 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 Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof of the Company’s Post-Qualification Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to its Offering Statement on Form 1-A, File No. 024-11584 (the “Offering Statement”), under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The Offering Statement, as amended by the Amendment, includes offerings of various series of membership interests (each a “Series”), a series designation (each, a “Series Designation” and, collectively, the “Series Designations”) for each of which will be in the form filed with the Offering Statement and will be attached to the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, dated as of July 14, 2021 (the “Company Operating Agreement”), prior to the issuance thereof.

 

The Amendment relates, among other things, to the proposed issuance and sale by the Company (the “Offering”) of four series of the Company’s Interests (as defined in the Company Operating Agreement) (designated as the “Series Interests” on Schedule A to this opinion letter), as further described in the Amendment.

 

We assume that the Series Interests will be sold as described in the Offering Statement and the Amendment 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 (each, a “Subscription Agreement” and, collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”).

 

For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of:

 

1.the Certificate of Formation of the Company, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 24, 2016; 




2.the Company Operating Agreement;  

 

3.the Certificate of Formation of RSE Collection Manager, LLC, the managing member of the Company (the “Managing Member”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 16, 2021;  

 

4.the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Managing Member, dated as of March 16, 2021 (the “Managing Member Operating Agreement”); 

 

5.the Certificate of Formation of Rally Holdings LLC, the sole member of the Managing Member (“Rally Holdings”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 27, 2020;  

 

6.the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Rally Holdings, dated as of November 23, 2020 (the “Rally Holdings Operating Agreement”);  

 

7.the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of RSE Markets, Inc., the sole member of Rally Holdings (“RSEM”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 28, 2016; 

 

8.the Bylaws of RSEM;  

 

9.the Officers’ Certificate of certain officers of RSEM, dated as of December 8, 2021; and 

 

10.resolutions of the Board of Directors of RSEM, with respect to the Offering. 

 

We have also examined the Offering Statement, form of Subscription Agreement and form of Series Designation filed with the Commission and such other certificates of public officials, such certificates of executive officers of the RSEM and such other records, agreements, documents and instruments as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereafter set forth.  

 

In such examination, we have assumed:  (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the legal capacity of all natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or other copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents, (v) that all records and other information made available to us by the Company on which we have relied are complete in all material respects, (vi) that the statements of the Company contained in the Offering Statement, the Amendment and the Officers’ Certificate are true and correct as to all factual matters stated therein, (vii) that the Offering Statement, as amended by the Amendment, will be and remain qualified under the Securities Act, and (viii) that the Company will receive the required consideration for the issuance of such Interests at or prior to the issuance thereof. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied solely upon the above-referenced certificates or comparable documents and other documents delivered pursuant thereto, have not performed or had performed any independent research of public records and have assumed that certificates of or other comparable documents from public officials dated prior to the date hereof remain accurate as of the date hereof.

 

Members of our firm involved in the preparation of this opinion are licensed to practice law in the State of Alabama, 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 Alabama and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware Act”).




Our opinion below is qualified to the extent that it 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.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and the other qualifications and limitations contained herein, we are of the opinion that, when the Offering Statement, as amended by the Amendment, is qualified under the Securities Act and when the Series Interests are issued and sold in accordance with the terms set forth in the Company Operating Agreement, the applicable Series Designation and the applicable Subscription Agreement and the Company has received payment therefor in the manner contemplated in the Offering Statement, (a) the Series Interests will be legally issued under the Delaware Act and (b) purchasers of the Series Interests (i) will have no obligation under the Delaware Act to make payments to the Company (other than their purchase price for the Interests and except for their obligation that may arise in the future to repay any funds wrongfully distributed to them as provided under the Delaware Act), or contributions to the Company, solely by reason of their ownership of the Series Interests or their status as members of the Company, and (ii) will have no personal liability for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being members of the Company.

 

The opinion expressed herein is rendered as of the date hereof and is based on existing law, which is subject to change.  Where our opinion expressed herein refers to events to occur at a future date, we have assumed that there will have been no changes in the relevant law or facts between the date hereof and such future date.  We do not undertake to advise you of any changes in the opinion expressed herein from matters that may hereafter arise or be brought to our attention or to revise or supplement such opinion should the present laws of any jurisdiction be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

 

Our opinion expressed herein is limited to the matters expressly stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as an exhibit to the Amendment and to the reference to our firm in Item 4 of Part I of the Amendment.  In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Maynard, Cooper & Gale, P.C.

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·The Ice Bowl was attended by over 50,000 fans in Green Bay Wisconsin on New Year’s Eve, 1967. 

·The Ice Bowl was played between the Packers (who had won the previous two NFL Championships) and the Cowboys. 

·According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: “From the start, Green Bay fans felt their team had a distinct advantage over the warm-weather Cowboys, After all, the Packers lived and practiced in the cold Wisconsin climate.” 

·Packers quarterback Bart Starr opened scoring with two touchdown passes, bringing the Packers to a 14-0 lead in the 2nd quarter. 

·After a recovered fumble for a touchdown by the Cowboys’ George Andrie and a 21-yard field goal by the Cowboys’ Danny Villanueva, the first half ended with the score 14-10 Packers. 

·In the 4th quarter, the Cowboys’ Dan Reeves threw a 50-yard pass to take the lead. 

·With 4:50 left in the game, the Packers were down 17-14. Having driven down the field all the way to the 1-yard line, Starr won the game with a quarterback sneak with 16 seconds left on the clock. 

·Bart Starr was an Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback who played 16 seasons with the Packers, winning 5 NFL championships, 2 Super Bowls (winning MVP honors in the first two Super Bowls ever played), and was named the league’s most valuable player in 1966. He retired prior to the 1972 season. 

·Vince Lombardi was a Hall of Fame coach who began his head coaching career in 1959, winning NFL Coach of the Year in his rookie season. He is widely considered one of the greatest head coaches in the history of the game. He won 5 NFL Championships and 2 Super Bowls. He began his pro career in 1954 when at the age of 41 he became an offensive coach for the New York Giants. In September 1970, Lombardi died at the age of 57. He was inducted posthumously into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in July 1971. The Super Bowl Trophy was named after Lombardi (known as “The Lombardi Trophy”) shortly after his death. 

·While the NFL officially formed in 1920, the first Super Bowl was played more than 40 years later. The Super Bowl was a result of the American Football League, which was founded in 1960 and would merge with the NFL in 1970, delivering their best team to play against the NFL’s. The Packers’ victory in The Ice Bowl sent them to Super Bowl II, where they would beat the Raiders in Super Bowl II. 

·The Ice Bowl was the coldest game in NFL history by temperature at -13 degrees, with wind chills between 33 to 37 below zero. 

·According to an account written for ESPN Classic: “Before the season, Lombardi had spent $80,000 on an electric heating system installed under Lambeau Field’s turf. But on this day, it would be rendered useless.” 

·The Ice Bowl’s freezing temperatures led to several players being treated for frostbite. In addition, a fan in the stands died due to exposure to the cold. 

·The Underlying Asset has been issued a grade of NM-MT 8 by Professional Sports Authenticators (PSA) with Certification No. 30801448.

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·Nintendo is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company founded in 1889. The company remains a high grossing developer, with $2.286 Billion in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019. 

·The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was a console released by Nintendo for U.S. Markets in 19852

·The NES was launched in New York City in October 1985, Los Angeles in February 1986, and the rest of North America in September of 1986.  Nintendo sold 61.9 million NES units worldwide. 

·The NES system was sold new in the United States until it was discontinued in 1995. 

·Shigeru Miyamoto was hired by Nintendo after graduating from college with hopes of becoming a toy-designer. Instead, the young designer would be tasked with working on art for Nintendo’s new video games. 

·Nintendo’s early video games (“Sheriff” and “Radar Scope”) were successful in Japan, but when the company tried to enter the U.S. market to compete with Taito and Namco, they were met with failure, only selling 1,000 units of “Radar Scope” and finding themselves left with unwanted expensive inventory. 

·In order to avoid financial ruin, Miyamoto was placed in charge of a new project to save Nintendo’s video game department. Despite no game design experience (he simply gave direction to the design team to execute on his ideas), Miyamoto approached the design of this new game differently than his predecessors, placing characters with individual personalities and stories at the center of his vision. 

·Miyamoto had first hoped to base a game on Popeye and “his perpetual battle with Bluto over his damsel in distress, Olive Oyl.” Instead, due to licensing issues, “the designer superimposed the classic love triangle over a King Kong theme.” 

·The first “Donkey Kong” game was released in the U.S. on June 2, 1981, featuring “Jumpman” (later renamed “Mario” after Nintendo’s landlord) and his pet gorilla Donkey Kong, who had “turned on his owner, kidnapped his girlfriend and taken her hostage atop the towering steel beams of a construction site.” 

·The first Donkey Kong game had four distinct screens, reminiscent of a Manga panel, and featured “a story, a sense of humor, funny music (which Miyamoto helped write), and an ingenious game logic,” according to the New Yorker. 

·After a 1982 sequel titled “Donkey Kong Jr.,” Nintendo released Donkey Kong 3 as an arcade game 1983, the same year as “Mario Bros.” “Donkey Kong 3” did not feature Mario, who is replaced by Stanley the Bugman, a gardener armed with bug spray which he uses to defend his plants. 

·In June 1986, Donkey Kong 3 was “ported” to the NES for U.S. audiences. 

·Donkey Kong 3 was re-released for the Nintendo Switch in April 2019. 

·The Super Famicom (SNES) was released in November 1990 in Japan. 

·Donkey Kong Country was released on November 20th, 1990, for the Super Famicom in Japan. 

·According to Rolling Stone: “When fans started queuing outside electronic stores throughout Japan on November 20th, they knew they were getting an entirely new platform, not some continuation or add-on; yet they were assured that the experiences they loved – MarioZeldaMetroid – would all be returning. In his seminal book, The Ultimate History of Videogames, Steve Kent writes about the chaos that hit when it was clear only 300,000 units would be available. ‘All of Tokyo was slowed down by the crowds,’ he wrote. ‘The pushing and shoving were so chaotic that the Japanese government later asked Nintendo and  


3 



other video game companies to restrict future hardware releases to weekends.’ What these consumers were witnessing was the birth of the modern sequential console business, where each generation of hardware is related but discrete. This is where the future started.”

·In 2008, IGN named Donkey Kong Country 28th on their list of the “Top SNES Games.” IGN wrote: “Donkey Kong Country is the game that saved the Super Nintendo.” 

·The PlayStation was released in December 1994. At the time, the SNES seemed like it was destined to be overrun by the technologically savvy PlayStation. Donkey Kong Country delivered “an amazing and eye-catching new graphical style that no one could imagine the Super was actually capable of such graphical feats.” 

·Diddy Kong, a character featured in many subsequent Donkey Kong games (known as Donkey Kong’s nephew), first appeared in Donkey Kong Country. 

·Donkey Kong Country sold 9.3 million copies, the third most SNES game of all time. 

·The Underlying Asset has been authenticated by Wata Games and issued a grade of 9.4 A+ with certification number 574600-027.

·The Underlying Asset is a 1994 SNES Donkey Kong Country Video Game graded Wata 9.4 A+.

·The Underlying Asset was made in Japan.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES 1979 STAR WARS MILLENNIUM FALCON ACTION FIGURE

Investment Overview

 

·Upon completion of the Series #FALCON Offering, Series #FALCON will purchase a 1979 Kenner Star Wars Millennium Falcon Spaceship Action Figure graded AFA 80 for Series #FALCON (The “Series 1979 Star Wars Millennium Falcon Action Figure” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #FALCON, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

·Star Wars is a series of films created by George Lucas that has spawned a wide-spanning industry since its debut in 1977, including ongoing films and TV shows, merchandise, trading cards, toys, and video games. The New York Times called Star Wars a “cultural behemoth.” 

·Kenner Products was founded in 1947 by Albert, Phillip, and Joseph Kenner. The company would go on to produce toys such as the Easy-Bake Oven and Star Wars action figures. 

·The Millennium Falcon is remembered as one of the more successful figures in the early Kenner Star Wars action figure lineup because of its production longevity. It was produced continuously until 1985, which was the final year of Kenner’s Star Wars toy production. According to toy expert Mark Bellomo: “The Millennium Falcon was one of the more popular Star Wars toys because it was more than a mere vehicle or starship; it was a playset.” 

·The Underlying Asset is a 1979 Kenner Star Wars Millennium Falcon Spaceship Action Figure graded AFA 80. 

 

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·The first Star Wars film was released on May 25, 1977 (later retitled “Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope”). Directed by George Lucas, the “Space Opera” grossed an estimated $775,398,007 at the worldwide box office. 

·Following the debut hit, the franchise has since released a total of 11 films, with “Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker” arriving in theatres on December 20, 2019. 

·The Walt Disney corporation announced they agreed to acquire Lucasfilm Ltd. on October 30, 2012. Through this deal Disney acquired ownership of Star Wars and associated businesses in film, consumer products, animation, and more. 

·After the success of the Star Wars film in 1977, Kenner signed a licensing deal to produce Star Wars toys. According to Cincinnati.com, other toy companies turned down the deal because at the time toy companies generally produced toys related to TV shows due to the longer exposure period but not movies. 

·A Kenner designer named Jim Swearingen “recalled reading the ‘Star Wars’ script and telling his bosses they had to do these toys.” 

·Since Kenner knew they wanted to produce toys of the spaceships from Star Wars, they scaled down the figures from the common 8 or 12 inches to 3.75 inches. This became “the new industry standard.” 

·In the fall of 1977, Kenner produced puzzles and a board game, but the action figures would take a year to produce and would not meet the holiday deadline. According to Cincinnati.com: “…they tried a bit of innovative marketing. Kenner whipped up a cardboard stand and an “Early Bird Certificate Package” that promised delivery of the first four figures (Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and R2-D2) when they were available the next year. The company essentially sold parents an empty box, an I.O.U., to put under the tree on Christmas morning.” 

·Kenner’s Star Wars action figures were added to the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2012. 

·StarWars.com says of the 1979 Millennium Falcon figure, “It measured about 53 centimeters long, and compared to a figure of Han Solo (about 10 centimeters tall) was almost four times too small. If Kenner had built the Falcon on a 1:1 scale with the figures, it would have been about 190 centimeters long.” 

·StarWars.com reveals, “The biggest asset of the toy is a large living area that can hold a lot of action figures. Although Kenner misplaced this area compared to its location in the movies, it was the only place that offered enough room and playability for the figures.”

·The designer of the Millennium Falcon toy, Mark Boudreaux, has designed every toy version of the ship.  He designed the first 1979 edition, and the latest Hasbro “Force Awakens” version for the 2015 film of the same name. 

·Producing the Millennium Falcon toy took about a year, with prototypes being rendered in wood and wax. Boudreaux tells Bloomberg News, “If you wanted to make changes, you couldn’t just push a button and spit out an image… You literally had to redraw it.” 

·In 1991 Kenner was purchased by Hasbro, though many Star Wars toy designers stay at the company.  This includes Millennium Falcon toy designer, Boudreaux. Hasbro continues to use the Kenner logo off and on specifically with vintage and retro releases. 

·In 2003, Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon was released for Game Boy Advance.  It was the first Star Wars game with Millennium Falcon in the title. 

·Mark Boudreaux won toy designer of the year for his Battle Action Millennium Falcon made in conjunction with the 2015 film, Rise of the Skywalker.  

·Solo: A Star Wars Story came out in May of 2018 and highlights a young Han Solo and his ship, the Millennium Falcon. Boudreaux, once again, designs the toy. 

·Mark Boudreaux retires from Hasbro in March of 2020. 

·The Underlying Asset has been issued a grade of AFA NM 80 by Action Figure Authority (AFA) with Certification No. 11432445. 

 

Notable Features

 

·The Underlying Asset is a 1979 Kenner Star Wars Millennium Falcon Spaceship Action Figure graded AFA 80.
