Item 9. Other Events
As previously disclosed by Masterworks 187, LLC (the “Company” or “we”) in its Current Report on Form 1-U as filed with the SEC on October 5, 2023, the Company received consent from the holders of the requisite number of voting shares of the Company to amend agreements to which it is party with respect to each of the following:
| ● | To change the way Masterworks’ management fee equity will be earned such that management fee equity will be issued at the Cayman subsidiary level (i.e. the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC that holds title to the artwork indirectly owned by the Company) as opposed to the Company level. | |
| ● | To accelerate the vesting on management fee shares previously earned and eliminate vesting provisions on Masterworks’ management fee equity going forward. |
On December 31, 2023, the members of the Company and the Board of Managers of the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Company to change the entity that issues management fee shares and eliminate the vesting provisions relating to management fee shares. A copy of the form of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Company is attached to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 2.1.
In addition, the Company, Masterworks Cayman, on behalf of the 187 Segregated Portfolio, and Masterworks Administrative Services, LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement to make changes consistent with the amendments described above. A copy of the form of Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement is attached to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 6.1.
In addition, with respect to any shares issued by Masterworks Cayman, SPC, the Company has attached the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Masterworks Cayman, SPC and Form of Designation of SPC Ordinary Shares and SPC Preferred Shares to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 6.2 and Exhibit 6.3, respectively.
