Celsius (NASDAQ: CELH) insider entity settles prepaid forward on shares
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Celsius Holdings, Inc. insider activity centers on a structured share sale by an affiliated entity rather than a direct personal sale. CD Financial LLC, which is managed by reporting person William H. Milmoe and is 99% beneficially owned through the Carl DeSantis Revocable Trust, is the record holder of the shares.
On January 16, 20 and 21, 2026, CD settled three tranches of a prepaid variable forward sale contract entered in January 2023 with an unaffiliated buyer, electing full physical settlement for each tranche. For each tranche, CD was obligated to deliver 120,000 shares of Celsius common stock after tranche maturity, while the buyer paid cash based on a formula using a floor price of $29.0933 and a cap price of $38.7911 per share.
For all three tranche maturities, the settlement price was above the floor and below the cap, so CD delivered shares and received cash equal to the number of shares multiplied by the difference between the settlement price and the floor price. After these settlements, Milmoe continued to report more than 12.3 million Celsius shares as indirectly beneficially owned through CD.

CD is 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 January 16, 2026, January 20, 2026, and January 21, 2026, CD settled three tranches of a prepaid variable forward sale transaction (the "VPF") entered into on January 19, 2023 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, the contract for the VPF obligated (i) CD to deliver to the buyer 120,000 shares (adjusted for stock splits) of CELH common stock T+1 (the "Share Number") following the maturity of these tranches (occurring on January 15, 2026, January 16, 2026, and January 20, 2026), 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 $29.0933 (the "Floor Price"), but less than or equal to $38.7911 (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) $9.6978. On each of January 15, 2026, January 16, 2026, and January 20, 2026, the Settlement Price was greater than the Floor Price and less 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.
