F1	Carl DeSantis owns a beneficial interest of 100% in CD Financial, LLC ("CD Financial") which owns the shares subject to the call options.
F2	On April 14, 2023, CD Financial entered into a call option transaction with an unaffiliated third-party purchaser. Pursuant to the terms of the option transaction, CD Financial sold 201,542 call options referencing 201,542 shares of Celsius Holdings, Inc. ("Celsius") (with expiration and exercise occurring in ten approximately equal components from January 19, 2024 to February 1, 2024). In exchange, CD Financial will receive a cash payment of option premium of $11.86 per option on April 18, 2023.
F3	CD Financial pledged 201,542 shares of Celsius common stock (the "Pledged Shares") to secure its obligations under the contract and retained dividend and voting rights in the Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge.
F4	Calls represent the right of the option holder to buy, and the obligation of the option seller to sell, the shares subject to the options at the exercise price.
F5	The call contract provides that the number of shares of Celsius common stock that CD Financial would be obligated to sell to the purchaser in respect of each maturity date would be determined as follows: (a) if the volume-weighted average price of Celsius common stock on the designated valuation date for the applicable component (each, a "Valuation Price") is less than or equal to the strike price of the options, the options will expire worthless and no shares will be sold; (b) if such Valuation Price is greater than the strike price, the relevant options will be automatically exercised, CD Financial will either (x) deliver to the buyer the number of shares subject to the applicable component in exchange for payment of a purchase price per share equal to the strike price or (y) pay in cash an amount per share equal to the excess of such Valuation Price over the strike price.
