Accordingly, the Reporting Person has shared voting and dispositive control over the shares held by GRAT 1. On November 18, 2025, November 19, 2025, and November 20, 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 17, 2025, November 18, 2025, and November 19, 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 17, 2025, November 18, 2025, and November 19, 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.
