In February 2020, the Company's board of directors and majority shareholders authorized an increase in the number of shares of common stock which the Company is authorized to issue from 75 million shares to 100 million shares. Implementation of the increase is subject to compliance with SEC requirements.

The first installment of the note receivable from Qifeng Food Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd (Note 6) in the amount of RMB 13,253,093 was due on March 31, 2020. We were recently requested by Qifeng to provide a three-month extension of the due date for the first installment until June 30, 2019, due to the impact of the health crisis in China. In consideration of the extension, a guarantee was obtained for the full amount of the first-installment and the installment was collateralized by a pledge of 570,412 of our common shares held. Accordingly, Celsius granted the extension and as a result, payment in full of the first installment is expected to be paid on or before June 30, 2020.

Between January 1, 2020 and March 12, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 297,949 shares of its common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under the Company's 2015 Stock Incentive Plan.
