FW: new collateral items on 2014 BAC - Narrows Pledge Agreement
Eileen,
As we mentioned in the meeting this morning, there a=e four works of art listed as collateral on the 2014 Amendment to Amended =nd Restated Pledge Agreement between Narrows Holdings LLC and Bank of Amer=ca that were not listed as collateral on the 2013 amendment to the pledge agreeme=t (or on the 2012 amendment). The works are not new acquisitions, so=l am not sure why they were not on last year's collateral list but a=e on the collateral list we just received from the bank.
The four works are:
- Henri Matisse
Marocaine en jaune, 1912

Location: New York, New York
Value per 2013=Sotheby's appraisal: $20 million
Pablo Picasso

Best,

Hi Eileen,
I just wanted to check=in on the Bank of America collateral list questions in my email below. Did Leon or Bank of America ever confirm that the four works below were =upposed to be added to the collateral list?
The Matisse (the first=on the list below) is actually going to be loaned to a museum in Italy in =ebruary of 2015, so we can put it on the collateral list now, but we will =eed to take it off in February as the Bank will not allow collateral to travel overseas.
There are two other ch=nges that we need the bank to make to the 2014 Amendment:
There is anoth=r Matisse on the collateral list (titled "Rendering of the Barnes Mural in Progress") that Leon had originally intended to loan to MoMA, =ut now is not going to be lending. The collateral list that the Bank provided needs to be updated to show the location of th=t work as Bedford instead of MoMA.
The 2014 Amend=ent is dated August 1st, but I think it should be updated to to=ay's date as we are just now sending works on loan and getting the B=ilment Agreements signed, so the locations listed in the collateral list were not accurate as of August 1st
I have the Bailment Agreements ready for Leon's signature and would like to have him sign t=e Amendment with the updated collateral list as well, so if you can talk t= the bank and have them update the Amendment and collateral list, I can have him sign it now, too.
Please let me know if =ou have any questions.
Thanks,
Heather
Eileen and Larry,
Below is a typical exa=ple of how some of us spin our wheels due to a general lack of information=flow in the office. I just happen to learn (because I was in t=e right place at the right time) that the BAC loan agreement, Pledge agreement and Note were amended in April of this ye=r and that the four items Heather has been trying to chase down since Augu=t (noted in her emails below) were in fact added to the collateral list la=t April. Neither of us was even aware of the new draw-down--even though it bears on what we do (and we are=asked questions about the BAC financing and collateral all the time).
I wanted to raise this=issue to emphasize the extreme importance of frequent office meetings. There is simply no other way to ensure that we all are privy to essentia= information or transactions that affect our ability to do our jobs effectively. None of us has the time to d=ily scour the O drive for new documents (which in this case were entitled =#8220;Document", "Document 1", "Document 5")=that might alert us to this information and folks don't seem to want=to notify others when they post things. I don't just speak for my=elf in this regard. A few of us would really appreciate a short weekly meeting—where we each just go around the t=ble and discuss the 5 or 6 immediate things we are working on so eve=yone is in the loop as to what is generally happening. We don&=8217;t need to go into the timing of completion or the details of what everyone is doing at this meeting. Rather, those of us that =eed to know details can follow up directly with the individual working on =he transaction—now that we know about it!
Can you please let me =now when our next meeting is scheduled?
Thank you for your tim=.

Every other Monday 2pm= Next week's meeting will be on Tuesday due to the Columbus Day holi=ay.
Thank you.
Leon increased the lin= slightly in April. The art inventory lists were immediately updated=to reflect the updated required collateral. (More collateral w=s required). The financial statements were also updated to reflect the higher amount of debt. It was also stated in the may mock f=re drill estate planning financials. All addressees have full access=to this information
You can see the collat=ral/security in the fine art file in the O drive Art folder here: O:\ Art\ A=4ARTWORK - LISTS\Fine ArtO:\Art\Art\ ARTWORK - LISTS\ Fine Art — file=called HEATHER GRAY AUG 2014. Column M in the tab when you open file.
The documents Ada refe=s to are saved here O:\ Art\Art \ Financing - BOFA Art Loan \ Docum=ntation. My bad for not naming better; they were saved in a cl=ar folder after the fact as that is when I reed copies.
Not clear why I was om=tted from the email below but it runs contrary to improving communication,=imho.
