- 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. On November 13, 2025, November 14, 2025, and November 17, 2025, GRAT 1 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, GRAT 1 elected full physical settlement. 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 112,500 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 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 $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, 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.
