Item 8.01.  Other Events.

Celsius Holdings, Inc. (“Celsius”) participated in the National Advertising Division, (“NAD”), of the Better Business Bureau’s voluntary self-regulation process and following the NAD’s review of Celsius’ research with respect to its beverages, the NAD confirms that Celsius substantiates its marketing claims with the multiple clinical studies that have been conducted on Celsius’ products.
 
Specifically, NAD stated that NAD “found that the advertiser (Celsius) could support claims that referenced the taste of Celsius and the product’s ingredients, as well as claims Celsius supplementation results in “increased metabolism,” “calorie burning,” “fat loss,” “decrease in body fat,” “greater endurance performance,” and “greater resistance to fatigue (increased energy)”.”
 
NAD did recommend that Celsius emphasize exercise, which recommendation is in line with the repositioning that Celsius completed earlier in the year to its products as a pre-exercise fitness drink with the tag line, “Your Ultimate Fitness Partner.”
 
The NAD’s purpose is to foster truth and accuracy in national advertising through voluntary self-regulation NAD's inquiry was conducted under NAD/CARU/NARB Procedures for the Voluntary Self-Regulation of National Advertising. Details of the initial inquiry, NAD's decision, and the advertiser's response will be included in the next NAD/CARU Case Report.
