<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Monster Beverage Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) to be held on Thursday, June&nbsp;7, 2018 at 2:00 p.m.&nbsp;local time, at our corporate offices, located at 1 Monster Way, Corona, California 92879 (the &#147;Annual Meeting&#148;).&#160; This proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">In addition to the specific matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting that are listed in the accompanying notice, there will be a report on the Company&#146;s business and an opportunity for stockholders of the Company to ask questions.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">We are pleased to take advantage of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule&nbsp;that allows companies to furnish proxy materials to their stockholders over the internet.&#160; As a result, we are mailing to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the &#147;Notice&#148;) instead of a paper copy of this proxy statement and our Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. We believe this process allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need in a timely manner, while reducing the environmental impact and lowering costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials.&#160; The Notice contains instructions on how to access those documents over the internet.&#160; The Notice also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials, including this proxy statement, our Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 and a form of proxy card or voting instruction card.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">With respect to specific elements of compensation, base salary is a fixed amount to secure executive service, the annual cash bonus opportunity is designed to incentivize and reward achievement of short-term financial and operating performance, and equity grants that vest over multi-year periods are designed to reward long-term financial and stock price performance as well as serve as a key retention vehicle for our executive talent. While the Compensation Committee intends for compensation levels to be competitive relative to similarly-situated executives at companies of comparable size and scope of operations, no specific market positioning or percentile is targeted as a matter of practice.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">The compensation programs for our NEOs are generally administered by or under the direction of the Compensation Committee (in the case of Rodney Sacks, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Hilton Schlosberg, the Vice Chairman and President) and the Executive Committee (in the case of the other NEOs).&#160; The compensation program is benchmarked annually to ensure that remuneration levels and benefits are competitive and reasonable and continue to achieve the goals set forth in our compensation philosophy.&#160; In reviewing the compensation for Mr.&nbsp;Sacks and Mr.&nbsp;Schlosberg, the Compensation Committee recognizes that Mr.&nbsp;Sacks and Mr.&nbsp;Schlosberg serve as our co-leaders.&#160; Given the long-term complementary nature of their leadership and their contributions to our success, the Compensation Committee has determined it is appropriate to continue to compensate them equally.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">For 2017 compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee retained the independent compensation consulting firm, Frederic W. Cook&nbsp;&amp; Co.,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;FW Cook&#148;), to provide competitive market data and make recommendations to the Board with respect to compensation for non-employee directors; to the Compensation Committee with respect to compensation for Mr.&nbsp;Sacks and Mr.&nbsp;Schlosberg and to the Executive Committee with respect to compensation for our other NEOs and senior management.&#160; FW Cook reports directly to the Compensation Committee and did not perform any other services for the Company in 2017 other than consultation on a long-term incentive plan for non-senior management.&#160; Following an independence assessment of FW Cook during 2017, the Compensation Committee determined that the services provided by FW Cook did not raise any conflicts of interest.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">The Compensation Committee considers relevant market pay practices and individual and Company performance when setting executive compensation.&#160; We do not set compensation at a targeted percentile level relative to the market, but we seek to provide salary, incentive compensation opportunities and employee benefits that are generally competitive within the consumer products industry, the food and beverage industry and within the labor markets in which we participate.&#160; Within this framework, we generally seek to keep salary and cash bonuses below the median for our NEOs, with equity awards providing enhanced compensation opportunities.&#160; We gather market compensation data to provide context, but we also consider Company and individual performance, as well as our recruiting and internal retention experience when making executive compensation decisions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">The Compensation Committee consulted with FW Cook in late 2016 to conduct a 2017 competitive market analysis (the &#147;Early 2017 Market Analysis&#148;) using a comparison group of similarly-sized, high-performing U.S. food and beverage and consumer products companies (the &#147;Early 2017 Peers&#148;).&#160; As market compensation levels are correlated to revenues for cash compensation and market capitalization for equity compensation, the Compensation Committee selects its peer companies using objective size criteria for each metric.&#160; For the Early 2017 Peers, and based on the Company&#146;s size at that time, the size criteria used for the peer group screening were revenues less than $20.0 billion and market capitalizations between $6 billion and $100 billion (25% to 400% of the Company&#146;s market capitalization, consistent with broad market practice). The Early 2017 Peers were the same as the peers referenced in 2016, with the exceptions of the removal of Coca-Cola Enterprises,&nbsp;Inc. and Keurig Green Mountain,&nbsp;Inc., due to corporate activity. The resulting Early 2017 Peers composed of 19 companies is shown below:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">In December&nbsp;2017, subsequent to FW Cook&#146;s review of the Early 2017 Peers, the Committee removed Mead Johnson Nutrition Company following its acquisition by Reckitt Benckiser, resulting in the 18-company Late 2017 Peer Group (the &#147;Late 2017 Peers&#148;).&#160; As such, compensation and performance data of the Late 2017 Peers were considered in determining 2017 bonuses and 2018 base salaries for our NEOs.</font></p>

The Early 2017 Market Analysis noted that the performance of the Company was above the peer median in three-year revenue and earnings per share (&#147;EPS&#148;) growth, return on capital, and both three- and five-year Total Shareholder Return (&#147;TSR&#148;).&#160; This level of operating and TSR performance, which was considered significant by the Compensation Committee, was factored into the compensation decisions. Over the last three years, the Company&#146;s revenue growth, earnings per share growth and operating income return on invested capital were at or above the Early 2017 Peers 75</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.0pt;position:relative;top:-4.0pt;">th</font><font size="3" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&#160;percentile.&#160; This long-term high operating performance and high market cap are part of the justification for the total compensation of Mr.&nbsp;Sacks and Mr.&nbsp;Schlosberg being roughly consistent with the Early 2017 Peers 75</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.0pt;position:relative;top:-4.0pt;">th</font><font size="3" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&#160;percentile.&#160; The peer group data is only one reference point used by us when making compensation decisions.&#160; However, we generally believe that reviewing and analyzing such pay and performance information is an important component of our executive compensation decision-making process.</font></p>

Recent equity awards granted to Mr.&nbsp;Sacks and Mr.&nbsp;Schlosberg vest over a three-year period with the exception of certain stock awards granted in March&nbsp;2017 and 2018, which were granted in lieu of a portion of 2016 and 2017 cash bonuses, and as a result, were fully vested at grant to equate to a cash award.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">We view all components of compensation as related but distinct.&#160; We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component, based in part, but not exclusively, on competitive benchmarks gathered through our recruitment and retention experience, our review of internal comparatives as well as other considerations we deem relevant, such as rewarding for individual as well as for corporate performance.&#160; We believe that equity awards effectively reward for long-term performance and are an important compensation-related motivator to attract and retain executives through the various vesting periods and promote sharing in the value they create.&#160; Except as described herein, neither our Compensation Committee nor our Executive Committee have adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between short-term and long-term and current compensation between cash and non-cash compensation.&#160; However, our Compensation Committee and Executive Committee&#146;s respective philosophy is that a greater percentage of our NEOs&#146; compensation should be rewarded in long-term equity rather than short-term cash, and we believe that this philosophy has benefited our long-term performance by attracting, retaining, and motivating a long-tenured NEO group that has built significant long-term value for our shareholders.&#160; Compensation packages for each of our NEOs are tailored to each individual NEO&#146;s circumstances by the Compensation Committee and/or the Executive Committee, as appropriate, and are largely based on subjective evaluations of Company and individual performance.&#160; Each element of compensation is determined differently for each individual NEO, based on a variety of facts and circumstances applicable at the time and specific to that NEO.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">Our Compensation Committee and Executive Committee perform an annual strategic review of compensation paid to our NEOs to determine whether they have provided adequate incentives and motivation to such NEOs, and whether they adequately compensate our NEOs relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for executives.&#160; For compensation decisions, including decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation relating to NEOs, other than our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice Chairman and President, the Compensation Committee specifically considers recommendations from the Executive Committee.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">Our NEO compensation currently has three primary components: base salary, annual cash bonus, and equity awards granted pursuant to our 2011 Incentive Plan.</font></p>

The guidelines require the executives to hold an amount of stock at least equal to (6)&nbsp;times annual base salary, which is then converted to a fixed number of shares. Shares that satisfy the stock ownership guidelines include:&nbsp; Company stock owned directly or indirectly with, or separately by, his or her immediate family members residing in the same household; shares held in trust for the benefit of the executive or his or her immediate family members;&nbsp;all unvested restricted stock with time-based vesting; shares issuable upon the settlement of restricted stock units; and shares held in the Company&#146;s Deferred Compensation Plan. Unexercised stock options, or the non-vested portion of any performance-based restricted stock do not count towards satisfying the guidelines.&#160; Any newly appointed CEO, President or CFO will have five (5)&nbsp;years from the date of his or her appointment to comply with the guidelines. The Compensation Committee will monitor compliance with the stock ownership guidelines and has the authority to review and modify the guidelines as it deems appropriate.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><b><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;font-weight:bold;">WHEREAS</font></b><font size="3" style="font-size:11.5pt;">: An estimated 40 million people are victims of modern slavery, with 24.9 million in forced labor.</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.0pt;position:relative;top:-4.0pt;">1</font><font size="3" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&#160;These victims work in virtually every industry and across sectors in a company&#146;s supply chain. According to the U.N. Guiding Principles,</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.0pt;position:relative;top:-4.0pt;">2</font><font size="3" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&#160;companies have a corporate responsibility to respect human rights within their operations and supply chains. The issue is seen as a material risk for shareholders due to potential litigation and loss of revenue by brand association with slavery.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">The October&nbsp;2016, Know the Chain, <i>Food&nbsp;&amp; Beverage Benchmark Findings Report</i> scored Monster at zero (0), stating, &#147;Monster Beverage Corporation places last on the benchmark, underperforming across all thematic areas relative to its peers.&#148; This reflects poor transparency and disclosure in managing human trafficking and forced labor risks in its supply chain. In contrast, Coca-Cola, Nestl&#233;, and Pepsico, scored 58, 57, and 45 respectively. While Monster has since published its forced labor policies on its website, it still does not report risk analysis and monitoring metrics down to the commodity level consistent with its peers.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">Monster Beverage&#146;s ingredients lists contain sucrose and glucose, both are derived from cane or beet sugar. Forced labor is known to be present in the production of sugar cane in Bolivia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Guatemala,&nbsp;India, Myanmar, and Pakistan according to the U.S. Department of Labor.</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.0pt;position:relative;top:-4.0pt;">3</font><font size="3" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&#160;Verit&#233;, an independent NGO, confirms the forced labor practices in the sugar cane industry globally. Monster has not disclosed what practices it has in place to address forced labor in these countries although nine other peers have done so according to the August&nbsp;2017 report, &#147;<i>How Food and Beverage Companies Tackle Forced Labor Risks in Sugarcane Supply Chains</i>.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">Monster also does not report on Supply Chain Transparency or Monitoring and Certification. Peers including Coca-Cola, a major Monster shareholder, discloses a map highlighting countries of origin. Others disclose names and addresses of sugar suppliers. Many of Monster&#146;s peers disclose how they monitor sugarcane field working conditions.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">Monster states that it does not conduct unannounced supplier compliance audits because of assumed minimal risk of slavery and human trafficking, yet there is no detail of how this was determined, beyond simple assurances by suppliers of compliance with the law. As shareholders, we lack confidence in Monster&#146;s conclusion that it is exposed to minimal risk of slavery and trafficking based on the limited information provided and the number of sugar production countries where forced and child labor is known to exist.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">The Board has carefully considered the Slavery and Human Trafficking Report Proposal and, for the reasons described below, believes that issuing a slavery and human trafficking report in the form contemplated by the Slavery and Human Trafficking Report Proposal is unnecessary and not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. The Board recognizes the importance of preventing slavery and human trafficking in the Company&#146;s supply chain, and believes that the Company&#146;s current programs reflect a commitment to this prevention, including with respect to its sugarcane supply chain. The Board believes that a separate report containing the criteria and analytical methodology used to determine the Company&#146;s conclusion of &#147;minimal risk&#148; of slavery and human trafficking in the Company&#146;s sugarcane supply chain is neither necessary nor an efficient use of corporate resources, given that (i)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s current practices and the information on the Company&#146;s website appropriately demonstrates the Company&#146;s commitment to the prevention of slavery and human trafficking in its sugarcane supply chain, (ii)&nbsp;the Company does not directly manufacture finished goods, but instead outsources its manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and contract packers and (iii)&nbsp;a slavery and human trafficking report is expensive, time consuming and largely duplicative of information already available.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><b><i><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Company currently reports its initiatives to tackle slavery and human trafficking, including in its sugarcane supply chain, which the Slavery and Human Trafficking Report Proposal seeks to address. </font></i></b><font size="3" style="font-size:11.5pt;">The proposal does not take into account the Company&#146;s existing initiatives for slavery and human trafficking in the Company&#146;s sugarcane supply chain. In opposing the Slavery and Human Trafficking Report Proposal, the Company is merely resisting the requirement to devote Company resources to comprehensively gathering data and publishing a slavery and human trafficking report in its sugarcane supply chain. This should not be interpreted as a lack of concern by the Board or the Company about slavery and human trafficking, or that the Board or Company is unwilling to implement further appropriate practices related to the prevention of slavery and human trafficking.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.5pt;">The Slavery and Human Trafficking Report Proposal states that the Company &#147;does not report on Supply Chain Transparency or Monitoring and Certification.&#148; As indicated on the Company&#146;s website, the Company sends surveys to all of its direct suppliers which ask for certification that all materials incorporated into the products supplied to the Company comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking in the country or countries in which such suppliers do business. In response to the most recent surveys it sent, the Company received responses via survey and/or other documentation from 100% of its direct sugarcane suppliers. Further, the Company conducts business with a limited number of direct top-tier suppliers that adhere to high ethical standards. The Company expects its suppliers of raw materials to adhere to the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking, and if we have evidence that a supplier is not doing so, we will take corrective action, including terminating the Company&#146;s business dealings with such offending supplier.</font></p>

The Slavery and Human Trafficking Report Proposal fails to take into account that the Company is working to improve its efforts to prevent slavery and human trafficking in its supply chain.&#160; As stated in the Company&#146;s website, in the coming year the Company intends to &#147;further refine its efforts related to training employees and monitoring suppliers and informing suppliers that their partners have policies and goals related to the elimination of forced labor and human trafficking in their supply chains.&#148; The Company does not believe a</font></p>

The nine companies referred to in the report materially differ from the Company because they all manufacture their own finished goods, whereas the Company does not directly manufacture finished goods, but instead outsources the manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and contract packers. Given that the Company does not directly engage in the manufacturing process, it makes it more difficult and expensive for the Company to report risk analysis and monitoring metrics down to the commodity level with respect to its supply chain as requested in the proposal.</font></p>

Further, preparing a formal report would require significant cost, both in dollars and employee time, which would outweigh any potential benefits of such a report. The Board does not believe that it is in the best interests of the Company to dedicate such significant costs to develop a report which lacks a tangible return for the Company&#146;s shareholders, and that management should continue to focus on improving areas of the Company that can provide tangible results to the Company&#146;s shareholders.</font></p>
