Celsius Holdings insider reports prepaid forward share settlements on Form 4
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH) reported an insider transaction involving the settlement of previously arranged variable prepaid forward sale contracts. An affiliated entity, CD Financial, LLC, which is 99% beneficially owned through a trust for which the reporting person is a trustee, disposed of blocks of 187,500 shares of CELH common stock on each of November 13, 14, and 17, 2025 at a reported price of $37.0234 per share, all held indirectly.
These trades reflected full physical settlement of three tranches of a prepaid variable forward sale entered on November 3, 2022, under which CD delivered CELH shares T+1 after each tranche matured. The buyer was required to pay cash based on a formula using a floor price of $27.7675, a cap price of $37.0234, and a fixed spread of $9.2559. Because the settlement price on each maturity date exceeded the cap price, CD transferred CELH shares and received cash amounts calculated under the cap-based formula, leaving the related derivative positions at zero.

- The Reporting Person is a trustee of the Carl DeSantis Revocable Trust, which owns a 99% beneficial interest in CD Financial, LLC ("CD"), the record holder of the shares which are the subject of this report. The Reporting Person has shared voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares. On November 13, 2025, November 14, 2025, and November 17, 2025, CD settled three tranches of a prepaid variable forward sale transaction (the "VPF") entered into on November 3, 2022 with an unaffiliated third-party buyer. For these three tranches of the VPF, CD elected full physical settlement. In full physical settlement of each of these three tranches of the VPF, the contract for the VPF obligated (i) CD to deliver to the buyer 187,500 shares (adjusted for stock splits) of CELH common stock T+1 (the "Share Number") following the maturity of these tranches (occurring on November 12, 2025, November 13, 2025, and November 14, 2025), and (ii) the buyer to pay CD 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 $27.7675 (the "Floor Price"), but less than or equal to $37.0234 (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) $9.2559. On each of November 12, 2025, November 13, 2025, and November 14, 2025, the Settlement Price was greater than the Cap Price. Accordingly, CD transferred to the buyer a number of CELH shares and the buyer paid CD amounts in cash determined pursuant to the formula above.
