Business — Celsius Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Celsius Holdings”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005. On January 24, 2007, the Company entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization with Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Elite FX, Inc. was merged into the Company’s subsidiary, Celsius, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on January 26, 2007.
The Company is engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of “functional” calorie-burning energy drinks and liquid supplements under the Celsius® brand name.
On August 1, 2022, the Company and PepsiCo Inc. ("Pepsi"), entered into multiple agreements, including a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”), Lock-Up Agreements, Registration Rights Agreement, a distribution agreement (“Distribution Agreement”), and a Channel Transition Agreement ("Transition Agreement"). The Securities Purchase Agreement, Lock-Up Agreements and Registration Rights Agreement pertain to the Company’s issuance of approximately 1.5 million shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A” or “Series A Preferred Stock”) in exchange for cash proceeds of $550 million, excluding transaction costs. The Transition Agreement specifies payments to be made by Pepsi to Celsius for transitioning certain existing distribution rights to Pepsi. The Distribution Agreement resulted in Pepsi becoming the Company’s primary distribution supplier for the Company's products in the United States. See Note 13. Related Party Transactions and Note 14. Mezzanine Equity for more information.
In connection with the Distribution Agreement and Transition Agreement, the Company terminated agreements with existing suppliers to transition territory rights to Pepsi. These expenses were recognized by the Company upon delivery of termination notices to the other distributors, in accordance with ASC Topic 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. As of the six months ended June 30, 2023, projected payments less the payments received were refunded. See Note 13. Related Party Transactions for more information.
