Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Transaction Agreement and Asset Transfer Agreement

As previously disclosed, on August 14, 2014, Monster Beverage 1990 Corporation (formerly Monster Beverage Corporation), now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Old Monster”), entered into definitive agreements providing for a long-term strategic relationship in the global energy category with The Coca-Cola Company (“TCCC”). In connection with the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Transactions”), Old Monster, the Company, New Laser Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), TCCC and European Refreshments, a TCCC subsidiary (“European Refreshments”), entered into a Transaction Agreement (as amended, the “Transaction Agreement”), and Old Monster, the Company and TCCC entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement (as amended, the “Asset Transfer Agreement”). The Transaction Agreement and the Asset Transaction Agreement are each described in Item 1.01 of Old Monster’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 18, 2014, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

The descriptions of the Transaction Agreement and the Asset Transfer Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Transaction Agreement and the Asset Transfer Agreement, each as amended by the Amendment, dated as of May 4, 2015, by and among Old Monster, the Company, Merger Sub, TCCC and European Refreshments (the “Amendment to the Transaction Agreement and Asset Transfer Agreement”). Copies of the Transaction Agreement, the Asset Transfer Agreement and the Amendment to the Transaction Agreement and Asset Transfer Agreement are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Distribution Coordination Agreements

Monster Energy Company (“MEC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary Monster Energy Limited (formerly, Tauranga Ltd.) (“MEL”), each entered into an amended and restated distribution coordination agreement, dated as of June 12, 2015, with TCCC. The agreements amend and restate the Monster Energy Distribution Coordination Agreement between MEC and TCCC and the Monster Energy International Distribution Coordination Agreement between MEL and TCCC, each dated as of October 3, 2008.

The distribution coordination agreements pertain to the coordination of distribution of energy drink products offered, packaged and/or marketed by MEC or MEL, as applicable, or their respective affiliates under the primary brand name “Monster” and additional products as described in the agreements (the “MEC Products”) in the United States, Canada and other countries, as indicated below. Coordination of U.S. and Canadian distribution will be pursuant to the Amended and Restated Distribution Coordination Agreement between MEC and TCCC (the “U.S./Canada Coordination Agreement”), and coordination of distribution in other countries will be pursuant to the Amended and Restated International Distribution Coordination Agreement among MEC, MEL and TCCC (the “International Coordination Agreement” and together with the U.S./Canada Coordination Agreement, the “Coordination Agreements”).

Pursuant to the U.S./Canada Coordination Agreement, MEC agrees to use its best efforts to enter into new distribution agreements with TCCC-affiliated distributors (“TCCC Distributors”) for certain specified sub-territories designated by MEC within the United States and Canada. In addition, to the extent permissible under applicable law, and subject to the terms of the U.S./Canada Coordination Agreement, TCCC agrees to use its best efforts to recommend and consent to the entering into of such new distribution agreements, and will, upon MEC’s reasonable request, use good faith efforts to reasonably assist the entering into of such new distribution agreements and the on-going relationship between MEC and such TCCC Distributors that have executed, or that execute in the future, new distribution agreements with MEC. MEC will reasonably respond to TCCC’s or a TCCC Distributor’s reasonable inquiries and cooperate with TCCC in response to TCCC’s reasonable requests in relation to MEC’s relationship with TCCC and TCCC Distributors.

Pursuant to the International Coordination Agreement, MEL agrees to use its best efforts to enter into new distribution agreements with TCCC Distributors for certain specified sub-territories designated by MEL throughout the world (excluding the United States, Canada and other countries subject to applicable trade embargoes and sanctions laws and regulations). In addition, to the extent permissible under applicable law, and subject to the terms of the International Coordination Agreement, TCCC agrees to use its best efforts to recommend and consent to the entering into of such new distribution agreements, and will, upon MEL’s reasonable request, use good faith efforts to reasonably assist the entering into of such

new distribution agreements and the on-going relationship between MEL and such TCCC Distributors that have executed, or that execute in the future, new distribution agreements with MEL. MEL will reasonably respond to TCCC’s or a TCCC Distributor’s reasonable inquiries and cooperate with TCCC in response to TCCC’s reasonable requests in relation to MEL’s relationship with TCCC and TCCC Distributors. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “MEL” will include MEC.

Pursuant to the Coordination Agreements, subject to certain conditions, MEC and MEL, as applicable, will pay TCCC a commission based on net sales to TCCC Distributors above a specified base volume.

The U.S./Canada Coordination Agreement is for an initial term of 20 years from the June 12, 2015 effective date (the “Effective Date”). After the initial term, the U.S./Canada Coordination Agreement will, subject to specified termination rights held by each party, remain in effect for as long as any TCCC Distributor continues to distribute some or all of the MEC Products pursuant to the terms of a KO Distribution Agreement (as defined in the U.S./Canada Coordination Agreement). The International Coordination Agreement is for an initial term of five years from the Effective Date. After the initial five-year term, the International Coordination Agreement may be renewed by either party for up to three successive five-year terms. After the initial term and any additional terms, the International Coordination Agreement will, subject to specified termination rights held by each party, remain in effect for as long as any TCCC Distributor continues to distribute some or all of the MEC Products pursuant to the terms of a KO Distribution Agreement (as defined in the International Coordination Agreement).

The Coordination Agreements may be terminated by a party upon a material breach of the contract by, or an insolvency of, the other party, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Coordination Agreements also may be terminated upon mutual agreement of the parties. If either party terminates either of the Coordination Agreements due to the other party’s breach of such terminated Coordination Agreement, the terminating party will have the option to terminate the other Coordination Agreement (the “Related Coordination Agreement”) as well. Termination fees are payable by each of MEC or MEL, on the one hand, or TCCC, on the other hand, if a Coordination Agreement is terminated due to the other party’s material breach of the applicable Coordination Agreement or the termination of the Related Coordination Agreement as a result of material breach thereof (with premiums payable if terminated within certain specified periods of the Effective Date of the applicable Coordination Agreement). The Coordination Agreements may be terminated by either party upon completion of an MEC Change of Control (as defined in the applicable Coordination Agreement), subject to certain conditions and limitations. Termination fees may also be payable by MEC or MEL, as applicable, if a Coordination Agreement is terminated in connection with an MEC Change of Control in certain specified circumstances, subject to certain conditions. If MEC or MEL terminates a KO Distribution Agreement without cause and without (1) entering into a new distribution agreement with a Primary KO Distributor (as defined in the applicable Coordination Agreement), for the same sub-territory promptly thereafter, and (2) concurrently terminating the applicable Coordination Agreement, the terminating party will pay a termination fee to TCCC solely with respect to the terminated KO Distribution Agreement. Furthermore, if MEC or MEL terminates a portion of a territory specified in a KO Distribution Agreement without cause, the terminating party will pay TCCC a partial termination fee for the terminated territory, as applicable to the relevant Coordination Agreement.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 12, 2015, Old Monster effected a holding company reorganization in connection with the Transactions by merging Merger Sub into Old Monster, with Old Monster surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Holding Company Reorganization”), and the Company changed its name from New Laser Corporation to “Monster Beverage Corporation.”

In the Holding Company Reorganization, each Old Monster common share, par value $0.005 per share, outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization (other than any Old Monster common shares that were owned by Old Monster immediately prior to the effective time, which were canceled) was converted automatically into the right to receive one Company common share, par value $0.005 per share. In addition, upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization:

· each unexercised and unexpired stock option then outstanding under any equity compensation plan of Old Monster, whether or not then exercisable, ceased to represent a right to acquire Old Monster common shares and was converted automatically into a right to acquire the same number of Company common shares, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Old Monster stock option; and

· each share of restricted stock and each restricted stock unit of Old Monster granted under all outstanding equity compensation plans ceased to represent or relate to Old Monster common shares and was converted automatically to represent or relate to Company common shares, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Old Monster restricted stock and restricted stock units (including the vesting or other lapse restrictions (without acceleration thereof by virtue of the Holding Company Reorganization and the Transactions)).

Promptly following the effective time of the Holding Company Reorganization, Old Monster assigned to the Company all obligations of Old Monster under Old Monster’s equity compensation plans and each stock option agreement, restricted stock award agreement, restricted stock unit award agreement and any similar agreement entered into pursuant to such equity compensation plans. In addition, all obligations of Old Monster under any employment agreements and indemnification agreements have been assigned to the Company.

Immediately after the effective time of the Holding Company Reorganization, (1) the Company issued to TCCC newly issued Company common shares representing approximately 16.7% of the total number of outstanding Company common shares (after giving effect to such issuance) (the “New Issuance”), (2) TCCC transferred all of its rights in and to TCCC’s worldwide energy drink business (“KO Energy”) to the Company, (3) Old Monster transferred all of its rights in and to its non-energy drink business (“Monster Non-Energy”) to TCCC (such transfer, together with the transfer of KO Energy, the “Asset Transfers”), (4) MEC, MEL and TCCC entered into the Coordination Agreements, as described above in Item 1.01 under “Distribution Coordination Agreements”, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01, and (5) TCCC and/or one or more of its subsidiaries made an aggregate net cash payment to the Company and MEC of $2.15 billion, $125.0 million of which will be held in escrow, subject to release upon the achievement of milestones relating to the transition of distribution rights to TCCC’s distribution network. The Transactions did not require the approval of Old Monster shareholders.

The Company’s common shares are listed and traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) and became eligible for trading under the ticker symbol “MNST” on Monday, June 15, 2015.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the Holding Company Reorganization and the Transactions, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transaction Agreement and the Asset Transfer Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein, each as amended by the Amendment to the Transaction Agreement and Asset Transfer Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On June 12, 2015, in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization, Old Monster notified Nasdaq that the Holding Company Reorganization had been completed and requested that trading of Old Monster common shares be suspended prior to the market opening on June 15, 2015. In addition, on June 12, 2015, Old Monster requested that Nasdaq file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an application on Form 25 to delist the Old Monster common shares from Nasdaq and deregister the Old Monster common shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Old Monster intends to file a certificate on Form 15 requesting that the Old Monster common shares be deregistered under the Exchange Act, and that Old Monster’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended (except to the extent of the succession of the Company to the Exchange Act Section 12(b) registration and reporting obligations of Old Monster as described under the heading, “Successor Issuer,” under Item 8.01 below).

The information set forth in Item 8.01 under the heading “Successor Issuer,” describing the succession of the Company to Exchange Act Section 12(b) and reporting obligations of Old Monster, is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02. Exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the sale of shares to TCCC pursuant to the New Issuance is based on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. TCCC is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

Item 3.03 Material Modification of Rights of Securityholders.

At the effective time of the Holding Company Reorganization, each Old Monster common share automatically converted into the right to receive one Company common share.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03.

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Successor Issuer

In connection with the Holding Company Reorganization and by operation of Rule 12g-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Company is the successor issuer to Old Monster and has succeeded to the attributes of Old Monster as the registrant, including Old Monster’s Commission file number and CIK number. The Company common shares are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and will hereafter file reports and other information with the Commission using Old Monster’s Commission file number (000-18761). The Company hereby reports this succession in accordance with Rule 12g-3(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Description of Company Common Shares

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 240,000,000 common shares, par value $0.005 per share.

Voting

The holders of the Company’s common shares will have one vote per share. Holders of the Company common shares will not be entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors. Generally, all matters to be voted on by shareholders must be approved by a majority, or, in the case of the election of directors, by a plurality, of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present (consisting of the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the number of shares entitled to vote). Actions may be taken without a meeting by the written consent of holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted.

Dividends

Holders of Company common shares will share ratably in any dividends declared by the Company’s board of directors. The Company may pay dividends consisting of cash, property or shares of capital stock of the Company or its subsidiaries. Delaware law allows a corporation to pay dividends only out of surplus, as determined under Delaware law or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend was declared and for the preceding fiscal year. Under Delaware law, however, the Company cannot pay dividends out of net profits if, after paying the dividend, the Company’s capital would be less than the capital represented by the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets.

Other Rights

Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, all common shareholders are entitled to share ratably in any assets available for distribution to common shareholders. No Company common shares are subject to redemption or, except as granted to TCCC in the Transactions, have preemptive rights to purchase additional Company common shares. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, in the event that European Refreshments beneficially owns at least 20% of the aggregate number of the Company common shares then-outstanding, if the Company engages in any transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance by the Company of equity securities (subject to customary exceptions) and such sale or issuance would cause European Refreshments to beneficially own less than 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding Company common shares immediately following such sale or issuance, European Refreshments will be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company, for the same price and on the same terms as such equity securities are offered, up to an amount necessary to enable European Refreshments to own 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding Company common shares immediately following such sale or issuance.

Trading

The outstanding Company common shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “MNST,” the same symbol under which Old Monster common shares were listed. The transfer agent and registrar for the Company common shares is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. The description of preemptive rights under the heading “Other Rights” does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Section 16 Reporting

Each director and officer (for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) of the Company is required to file a Form 4 evidencing the disposition of Old Monster common shares, a Form 3 evidencing his or her status as a new director or officer of the Company and a Form 4 evidencing his or her acquisition of Company common shares.
