Item 1. Fundamental Changes

On November 8, 2024, Level & Co. Gallery, LLC, as agent for Series 439 ("Series 439") of Masterworks Vault 5, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company") and the 439 Segregated Portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC agreed to consign the sole artwork owned by Series 439 created by Alma Thomas (the "Artwork") to an unaffiliated gallery (the "Consignee"), pursuant to a consignment agreement (the "Consignment Agreement"). A copy of the Consignment Agreement is attached to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 6.1.

Pursuant to the Consignment Agreement, the Consignee is appointed as the exclusive selling agent of the Artwork and may sell the Artwork to a third-party through February 8, 2025 (the "Consignment Period"), provided that Series 439 receives a minimum net proceed amount in connection with the sale (the "Floor Price"). The Floor Price, along with any commission and or profit sharing arrangements, were determined based on arm's length negotiations among the parties.

The Consignment Agreement also contains representations, warranties, and covenants of the parties that are customary for transactions of this type. The Artwork will be in the custody of the Consignee during the Consignment Period, and title of the Artwork will continue to be held by Series 439 unless (i) the Consignee executes a definitive sale of the Artwork and (ii) Series 439 receives the full amount of its net proceeds from such sale.

Exclusive consignments for a limited duration are a common method of exposing works to a segment of the market, but very often they do not result in a sale transaction. Accordingly, the Company cannot guarantee or express any opinion on the likelihood that a sale of the Artwork will be completed. If the Artwork is sold by the Consignee during the Consignment Period, in accordance with the Company's Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, Series 439 will use the proceeds of the sale of the Artwork to pay or provide for payment of Series 439's liabilities, costs and expenses and will distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of the assets to the Series 439's shareholders of record, after which Series 439 will wind up operations and dissolve.
