Issuance of common stock pursuant to services performed

 

On July 19, 2018 the Company settled a legal matter that was filed in Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County, by Statewide Beverage Company, Inc. (“Statewide”), a former distributor of the Company’s products. As part of the settlement the Company issued 60,000 shares of “restricted” stock, to the ten plaintiffs involved in the complaint for a total fair value of $279,600, or $4.66 per share, representing the closing stock price on the settlement date. The stock “restriction” pertains to the shareholders intention of using the shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribute or resell the shares or any part thereof or interest therein. However, the Stockholder’s rights allow for the selling or otherwise disposal of all or part of the shares pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to registration of the share under such laws.

 

In January 2017, the Company issued 47,126 shares of “restricted” stock to each William H. Milmoe and Thomas E. Lynch in consideration for services previously rendered to Celsius. Total shares issued were 94,252 at a fair value of $328,000, or $3.48 per share representing the closing stock price on that date.
