Item 9. Other Events

Masterworks 026, LLC (the “Company” or “we”) is currently in the process of seeking to obtain consent from the holders of the requisite number of voting shares of the Company to amend agreements to which it is party with respect to each of the following:

● To change the way Masterworks’ management fee equity will be earned such that management fee equity will be issued at the Cayman subsidiary level (i.e. the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC that holds title to the artwork indirectly owned by the Company) as opposed to the Company level.

● To accelerate the vesting on management fee shares previously earned and eliminate vesting provisions on Masterworks’ management fee equity going forward.

● To authorize creation of a Class C share to formalize Masterworks’ right to replace the Board of Managers.

The record date used in connection with the consent process described above is August 15, 2023. No such changes will become effective unless and until the Company receives consent from the holders of the requisite number of voting shares of the Company and all other relevant parties, including the Board of Managers of the Company. If such consent is received, the elimination of vesting on Masterworks management fee shares that were already earned will occur on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Company receives the requisite consent and the other changes will occur on a date determined by Masterworks. At such time(s), the Company will file a Form 1-U with additional information.

Other Masterworks affiliated issuers are also in the process of seeking consent for some or all of the changes discussed above. For additional information on the consent process, see www.masterworks.com/about/management-fee-amendment-member-consent-2023.
