Effective January 1, 2019, the Company entered into two separate economic agreements relating to the commercialization of Celsius products in China (i.e., the Qifeng exclusive license rights agreement and the Qifeng repayment of investment agreement). See Note 4. Revenue for information regarding the license agreement with Qifeng.
In addition to the license agreement, Qifeng agreed to repay, over a five-year period, the marketing investments made by Celsius into the China market through 2018. The repayment, which was formalized via a note receivable from Qifeng (the "Note"), must be serviced even if the licensing agreement is cancelled or terminated. The Note is denominated in Chinese-Yuan.
The Note required annual principal and interest payments on March 31 of each year, with the final payment scheduled for 2024. In February 2024, the Company amended the Note and extended the final maturity date to December 31, 2024. The Note is recorded at amortized cost. Interest income generated from the Note is contained in the financial statement line item Interest income on note receivable in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The Company assesses the Note for impairment at each reporting period. This evaluation considers the probability that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled principal and interest payments based on historical experience of Qifeng’s ability to pay, the current economic environment, forward-looking information and other factors. As evidence of solvency for the Note, a stock certificate in Celsius Holdings, Inc. which amounts to 60,000 shares owned by an affiliate under common control of Qifeng is being held at a brokerage account. A letter of guarantee was executed with several restrictions regarding their shares. In particular, it was agreed that the stock would not be sold or transferred without the prior written consent from Celsius. There are other
restrictions and agreements, which include that a statement of account will be provided to Celsius on a quarterly basis to confirm and validate the existence of the remaining shares.
