ACQUISITION-EUROPEAN OPERATIONS

The Company acquired 100% of Func Food Group, Oyj ("Func Food) on October 25, 2019 ("the Acquisition"). The Acquisition was structured as a purchase of all of Func Food's equity shares and a restructuring of Func Food's pre-existing debt. Total consideration was $27,060,701, which consisted of approximately $14,188,000 in cash, $8,357,000 of newly issued bonds (see Note 14) and $4,516,000 related to the settlement of a pre-existing debt. In addition to the aforementioned bond issuance, the Company financed the acquisition by issuing new common shares.

Func Food is a marketer and distributor of nutritional supplements, health food products and beverages, that support sport activities and healthy living and lifestyles in Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Func Food has been the Nordic distributor of Celsius products since 2015 and, as a result of the acquisition, the Company expects to further increase its Nordic market share by leveraging collaborations, revamping its marketing strategy and focusing on core products.
