[Form 4] Celsius Holdings, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SEC Form 4 for Celsius Holdings (CELH) discloses that Dean DeSantis, a 10 % owner acting through GRAT 1, LLC, physically settled three tranches of a prepaid variable forward sale (VPF) originally executed on 08/01/2022.

• Dates & size: 300,000 shares of common stock were delivered on each of 07/01, 07/02, and 07/03 2025 for a total of 900,000 shares.
• Settlement terms: Each tranche settled at the contract’s cap price of $40.1588 per share, triggering the maximum cash payout formula to GRAT 1.
• Post-transaction ownership: Indirect beneficial holdings declined from 8,100,000 to 7,200,000 shares; no derivative positions remain after settlement.
• Nature of sale: Transactions were coded “J/K,” indicating settlement of a previously established forward contract, not an open-market sale initiated in 2025.

The filing represents a significant transfer of insider shares but was executed under a pre-arranged contract, reducing the informational signal about current insider sentiment.

Positive

• Disposition was executed under a 2022 pre-arranged variable prepaid forward, reducing concerns about opportunistic insider selling.

Negative

• 10 % owner’s indirect stake fell by 900,000 shares (from 8.1 M to 7.2 M), signalling lower insider ownership going forward.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR Predetermined VPF settlement moves 900 k insider shares; supply impact modest, sentiment signal limited.

Delivering 900,000 shares (≈11 % of the reporting person’s prior stake) is sizeable, yet the transaction stems from a 2022 prepaid forward. Because cash consideration and share delivery terms were locked in, the sale provides little insight into the insider’s present view of CELH’s valuation. From a trading-flow perspective, the shares have already been effectively sold—counterparty hedging likely occurred when the VPF was initiated. Therefore, incremental market pressure should be muted. Overall impact to the investment thesis is neutral, though investors will note the reduction in insider alignment.

Explanation of Responses:

1. The Reporting Person is one of the two personal representatives of the Estate of Carl DeSantis, which holds a one hundred percent (100%) beneficial ownership interest in GRAT 1, LLC ("GRAT 1"). Accordingly, the Reporting Person has shared voting and dispositive control over the shares held by GRAT 1, LLC..

2. On July 1, 2025, July 2, 2025, and July 3, 2025 GRAT 1 settled three tranches of a prepaid variable forward sale transaction (the "VPF") entered into on August 1, 2022 with an unaffiliated third-party buyer. For these three tranches of the VPF, GRAT 1 elected full physical settlement.

3. In full physical settlement of each of these three tranches of the VPF, the contract for the VPF obligated (i) GRAT 1 to deliver to the buyer 300,000 shares (adjusted for stock splits) of CELH common stock T+1 (the "Share Number") following the maturity of these tranches (occurring on June 30, 2025, July 1, 2025, and July 2, 2025), and (ii) the buyer to pay GRAT 1 an amount in cash equal to: (a) if the volume-weighted average price of CELH common stock on the maturity date for the tranche (each, a "Settlement Price") was greater than $30.1191 (the "Floor Price"), but less than or equal to $40.1588 (the "Cap Price"), the product of (x) the Share Number and (y) the excess of Settlement Price over the Floor Price; and (b) if Settlement Price was greater than the Cap Price, the product of (x) the Share Number and (y) $10.0397.

4. On each of June 30, 2025, July 1, 2025, and July 2, 2025, the Settlement Price was greater than the Cap Price. Accordingly, GRAT 1 transferred to the buyer a number of CELH shares and the buyer paid GRAT 1 amounts in cash determined pursuant to the formula above.
