Item 1. Fundamental Changes

 

On December 8, 2022, Masterworks 070, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and the 070 Segregated Portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC agreed to sell the painting created by Andy Warhol (the “Artwork”) for $2,700,000 in cash (the “Sale Price”) to a private collector (the “Buyer”), pursuant to an invoice and certain terms and conditions of sale (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Sale Price was determined based on arm’s length negotiations among the parties. The Terms and Conditions also contain representations, warranties and covenants of the parties that are customary for transactions of this type. A copy of the Terms and Conditions is attached to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 6.1.

 

Also on December 9, 2022, Masterworks Gallery, LLC, as sole initial member of Masterworks 070, LLC (the “Company”), entered into a Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Company, which amends and replaces that certain Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Company dated August 9, 2021 to reflect certain changes relating to the repurchase and redemption of Class A ordinary shares by the Company upon the sale of the Artwork. A copy 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.

 

On December 12, 2022, title of the Artwork passed to Buyer after the Company received payment in full of the Sale Price from Buyer. In accordance with the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, the Company will use the proceeds of the sale of the Artwork to pay or provide for payment of the Company’s liabilities, costs and expenses and will distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of the assets to the Company’s shareholders of record, after which the Company will wind up operations and dissolve.
