ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business — Celsius Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Celsius Holdings” or "Celsius") 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, pursuant to which, on January 26, 2007, Elite FX, Inc. merged into the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Celsius, Inc., which survived the merger.
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, a Registration Rights Agreement, a Distribution Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”), and a Channel Transition Agreement ("Transition Agreement"). The Purchase Agreement, Lock-Up Agreements and Registration Rights Agreement pertain to the Company’s issuance of approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A” or “Series A Convertible 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 in exchange for Celsius 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 4. Revenue, 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 supply agreements with existing suppliers to transition certain territory rights to Pepsi. These termination 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company refunded to Pepsi the difference between projected termination payments to distributors and the related payments received from Pepsi, resulting in no refund liability due to Pepsi as of September 30, 2023. See Note 13. Related Party Transactions for more information.
