SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | 20.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In April 2022, Monster Energy Company (“MEC”) and Orange Bang, Inc. (“Orange Bang”) filed a joint motion in the United States District Court for the Central District of California to confirm a final arbitration award against Vital Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“VPX”) that awarded MEC and Orange Bang $175.0 million and a 5% royalty on all future sales of VPX’s Bang Energy drink and other Bang-branded products as well as certain fees and costs. The arbitration arose from a settlement agreement that VPX entered into in 2010 with Orange Bang, a family-owned beverage business. Pursuant to the terms of that agreement, VPX is only permitted to use the Bang mark on “creatine-based” products or on Bang products that are marketed and sold only in the vitamin and dietary supplement sections of stores. MEC agreed to help Orange Bang defend its rights in exchange for half of any recovery. Upon examining evidence presented at the arbitration, the arbitrator found that Super Creatine is not creatine and that VPX’s Bang products are not creatine based and, therefore, don’t comply with the agreement between Orange Bang and VPX. The motion is scheduled for hearing in the 2022 second quarter. Per ASC No. 450 “Contingencies”, the Company will not recognize the award or royalties until such time as they are realized or realizable. The award and royalties will be realized or realizable when VPX has no remaining potential for appeal or reversal of the decision and all contingencies have been resolved. As of May 6, 2022, the proceedings have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for an accurate timeline of when the awards will be realized or realizable, if at all. On May 5, 2022, the Company acquired certain real property, leases and equipment in Norwalk, California for a purchase price of $62.5 million. The Company intends to utilize the property as a manufacturing facility for certain of its products.
