Dusty Wunderlich Named Chairman; Blake Masters Appointed Lead Independent Director
Michael Perkins Elevated to Chief Operating Officer
Founder Michael Seifert Continues as President and Chief Executive Officer

PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PSQH) ("PublicSquare" or the "Company"), today announced updates to its Board and executive leadership structure intended to delineate board oversight, enhance operational focus, and position the Company for its next phase of growth as a scaled public fintech platform. The Company also announced preliminary fourth-quarter 2025 revenue estimates and reaffirmed its full-year 2026 revenue guidance.

"These leadership updates reflect PublicSquare's continued maturation as a public company," said Michael Seifert, President and Chief Executive Officer. "By separating the Chairman and CEO roles, appointing a Lead Independent Director, and elevating operational leadership, we are reinforcing strong governance while sharpening our focus on disciplined execution."

Key Leadership Updates

Michael Seifert has stepped down as Chairman of the Board and will continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer, focusing on strategic vision, culture, and the continued expansion of the Company's platform and fintech capabilities. The separation of the Chairman and CEO roles is intended to clearly delineate oversight and execution responsibilities.
Dusty Wunderlich has been named Chairman of the Board. A director since March 2024, Wunderlich brings deep financial, strategic, and operational experience to guide PublicSquare's strategic direction. He will serve as Chairman in a non-executive capacity. Prior to being named Chairman, Mr. Wunderlich was the Company's Chief Strategy Officer.
Blake Masters has been appointed Lead Independent Director. A director since the Company's initial public listing, Masters will provide independent oversight and serve as a liaison between the Board and management.
Michael Perkins has been appointed Chief Operating Officer and will continue to serve as President of Payments. With nearly 20 years of fintech experience, including executive leadership roles at Nuvei and LoanPaymentPro, Perkins will oversee day-to-day operations as the Company scales its financial technology offerings. His initial priorities include platform integration, operational efficiency, strengthening merchant relationships, and ensuring the Company's technology infrastructure supports scalable growth and innovation.
Mike Hebert, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer, has been named Senior Vice President of People. In this role, he will focus on organizational development, talent, and culture as PublicSquare continues to grow.

Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2025 Revenue Estimates and Guidance

PublicSquare announced that its preliminary fourth quarter 2025 revenue estimates are expected to be between $6.7 and $6.9 million (excluding discontinued operations), exceeding its previously issued guidance of $6.0 million by more than 10%. The Company also reiterated its full-year 2026 revenue guidance of greater than or equal to $32.0 million.
