Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In connection with Michael Seifert’s departure described in Item 5.02 below, the Company and Mr. Seifert have entered into a separation and release of claims agreement, dated January 28, 2026 (the “Separation Agreement”). Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Seifert forfeited 1,000,000 shares of Class C common stock. His remaining capital stock of the Company is subject to an 18-month lockup under which he may sell up to 50,000 shares per month and 10,000 shares per day, subject to certain exceptions. The Separation Agreement contains mutual general releases and provides that Mr. Seifert will not compete with the Company or solicit the Company’s employees or customers for 24 months.

 

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

 

Michael Seifert beneficially owns all of the outstanding shares of the Class C common stock of PSQ Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). Each holder of Class C common stock has the right to a number of votes (rounded up to the nearest whole number) per share of Class C common stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date equal to (i) (x) the total number of shares of Class A common stock entitled to vote on such matter as of the applicable record date, plus (y) 100; divided by (ii) the total number of shares of Class C common stock issued and outstanding as of the applicable record date. Consequently, since Mr. Seifert is the sole beneficial owner of the Class C common stock as of the date of this report, he possesses approximately 50.63% of the voting power of the Company’s common equity.

 

Under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the 30th day immediately following the day on which Mr. Seifert is no longer serving as at least one of a director or officer of the Company, each share of Class C common stock automatically converts into one share of Class A common stock. As described below in Item 5.02, on January 27, 2026, Mr. Seifert resigned from his positions with the Company. Thus, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 27, 2026, all outstanding shares of Class C common stock will convert into shares of Class A common stock.

 

Following such conversion, Mr. Seifert will no longer possess a majority of the voting power of our common stock. Therefore, the Company will no longer be a “controlled company” under NYSE rules and will be required to comply with certain NYSE rules that govern corporate governance standards from which it was exempt as a controlled company. These include the requirement to have (i) a majority of independent directors, (ii) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, and (iii) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. NYSE rules mandate that the Company must satisfy the majority independent board requirement within one year of the date its status changed and have at least one independent member on its nominating committee and at least one independent member on its compensation committee by the date its status changes, at least a majority of independent members on each committee within 90 days of the date its status changes and fully independent committees within one year of the date its status changes. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy such requirements. Failure to meet such requirements could subject the Company to delisting from the NYSE.

 

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

 

Resignation of Michael Seifert as Chief Executive Officer and Director

 

On January 27, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), Michael Seifert resigned from his positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). Mr. Seifert’s resignation was not the result of a disagreement between Mr. Seifert and the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operation, policies, or practices.

On the Effective Date, the Board of the Company appointed Dusty Wunderlich to the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of January 27, 2026.

PublicSquare Appoints Dusty Wunderlich as Chief Executive Officer

 New Leadership Reinforces Progress Toward Fintech Focus

  

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — January 29, 2026 — PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) ("PublicSquare" or the "Company"), today announced that Dusty Wunderlich has been appointed CEO, effective immediately, as the Company continues its transition to core fintech businesses, including credit and payments. Mr Wunderlich was recently appointed Chairman of the Board of PublicSquare and will remain in that role. As part of this transition, Michael Seifert has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors, effective January 27, 2026.

 

Mr. Wunderlich was CEO of Credova until PublicSquare acquired the company in March 2024. Given his fintech experience and deep knowledge of the Company’s operations, most recently as its Chief Strategy Officer, the Board believes Mr. Wunderlich is the person best positioned to ensure the continued execution of the Company’s strategic priorities.

 

“This leadership change is a critical step in the Company's transition toward credit and payments, with a focus on cash flow efficiency. We are grateful for Michael's founding vision and his support of this transition," said Blake Masters, Lead Independent Director.

 

“It has been a tremendous privilege to found this company and serve as its CEO,” said Mr. Seifert. “Dusty's significant fintech experience enables him to deliver growth and execution for stockholders. Dusty proved to the board that he is ready for the job. Going forward, no one is better positioned to lead PublicSquare than Dusty.”

 

“On behalf of the board and the company, I want to thank Michael for guiding the company through its early stages of development and growth,” said Mr. Wunderlich. “During his tenure at PublicSquare, he built a strong team of dedicated employees and set the company on a path towards its future as a fintech leader.”

 

Mr. Wunderlich added, “The board has been diligent in making strategic decisions as part of the company’s decisive refocus on fintech. This is another step in that direction and sets the company up for stability and growth in our core business. This is about execution and growth toward long-term profitability. I look forward to working closely with the board and our executives to create momentum and deliver on our goals in 2026 and beyond.”
