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.
Appointment of Dusty Wunderlich as Chief Executive Officer
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.
Mr. Wunderlich and the Company expect to enter into an Employment Agreement.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Effective as of the Effective Date, the size of the Board will be reduced from ten to nine directors.
In addition, on January 29, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the resignation of Mr. Seifert and the appointment of Mr. Wunderlich, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
