EXHIBIT 99.1
CELSIUS HOLDINGS, INC.
Analipseos 30 Apt. #25, 52236 Panorama
Thessaloniki, Greece
OTCBB: CSUH
DATE: January 24, 2007
New York, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) - January 24, 2007 - Celsius
Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CSUH) (the "
Company
") announced today that it
has entered into an Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "
Merger
Agreement
") for a merger with Elite FX, Inc. ("Elite"). Under the terms
of the Merger Agreement, the Company's newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary,
Celsius, Inc. (the "
Subsidiary
"), will merge with Elite with the
Subsidiary being the surviving company.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will
issue approximately 70,912,246 shares of the Company's common stock to the
stockholders of Elite in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Elite. In addition, (1) the Company will assume 10,647,025 options
to purchase its shares to the existing option holders of Elite, (2) issue a
warrant exercisable for 3,557,812 shares of common stock of the Company to
another party, (3) issue 1,391,500 shares of its common stock and a note for
$250,000 to purchase certain trademark rights to the name "Celsius.
Concurrent with the completion of the Merger, the Company's
principal shareholder will surrender for cancellation 7,200,000 shares of
common stock of the Company held by him. The Company will also complete a
private placement of up to 1,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
a price of $0.50 per share to permit it to provide up to $650,000. Part of
the consideration for such offering shall be the conversion of a $250,000
loan to the Company into shares of its common stock under the private
placement at $0.50 per share.
Closing of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions,
including:
The Company having $1,100,000 in cash at closing, less the
outstanding balance of a bridge loan the Company issued to Elite in
November 2006;
The Company entering into employment agreements with four
members of the management team of Elite;
The Company entering into an intellectual property
assignment agreement with each of Steve Haley and Lucille Santini; and
Elite having obtained stockholder approval to go forward
with the Agreement.
Unless waived, failure to meet these conditions would
prevent closing of the Merger.
Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation, an early participant
in one of the emerging segments of the estimated $25 billion functional food
and beverage category, is focused on the development and marketing of
healthy, performance-based beverages. Elite FX is dedicated to
bringing positive and consumer-relevant health and performance effects to
great tasting beverages that can be enjoyed every day. If we acquire the
business of Elite FX, Inc. we will change the business of the Company to the
business of Elite FX, Inc. and cease to be an exploration stage company.
Celsius is Elite's first commercially available product. Celsius is the
world's first calorie burning soft drink. Available in five great tasting
flavors, cola, ginger ale, lemon/lime, orange and wild berry and backed by a
clinical study showing its calorie burning capability, we believe Celsius
positions Elite FX for significant growth.
