Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 4, 2017, Tim Leissner resigned as a member of our board of directors. On May 5, 2017, the board appointed John Fieldly, our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer to the vacancy on the board created by Mr. Leissner’s resignation, to serve until Celsius’ next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The board believed that given Mr. Fieldly’s over five years’ experience as an executive officer of the Company and the fact that the remaining members of our board are “independent,” he is qualified to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Leissner’s resignation.  In addition, Christopher Lai, was appointed as Co-Chairman of the board and a member of the board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to fill the vacancies resulting from Mr. Leissner’s departure.
