(f/k/a PSQ Holdings, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Private PSQ”), for $200,023.44 and the Ayers Trust purchased 1,487 shares of Private PSQ Common Stock for $50,022.68. Mrs. Ayers used personal funds such acquisition.

EveryLife

On February 23, 2023, Private PSQ completed a stock-for stock transaction to purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of EveryLife, Inc. (“EveryLife”) from Mr. Ayers, Mrs. Ayers and the Ayers Trust, pursuant to which Private PSQ issued 11,000 shares of Private PSQ Common Stock to Mr. Ayers, 27,500 shares of Private PSQ Common Stock to Mrs. Ayers and 16,500 shares of Private PSQ Common Stock to the Ayers Trust. Following the sale, EveryLife became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Private PSQ.

Neither Mr. Ayers nor Mrs. Ayers was an executive officer or director of Private PSQ at the time of the transaction. However, following the Closing, Mr. Ayers was appointed to the Issuer’s board of directors.

Merger Agreement

On July 19, 2023, the Issuer consummated the Business Combination (as defined below), pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement dated February 27, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Colombier Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Colombier”), Colombier-Liberty Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Colombier, and Colombier Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company, in its capacity as Purchaser Representative (the “Purchaser Representative”), and Private PSQ. The transactions described in the Merger Agreement collectively herein are described as the “Business Combination.” At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Colombier changed its name to “PSQ Holdings, Inc.”

At Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and after giving effect to the redemptions of Colombier Class A Common Stock (as defined below) by public stockholders of Colombier:

At Closing, each Reporting Person’s shares of Private PSQ Common Stock were automatically converted into 19.476836 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer per share of Private PSQ Common Stock. As a result, Mr. Ayers received an aggregate of 214,246 shares of Class A Common Stock, Mrs. Ayers received an aggregate of 651,423 shares of Class A Common Stock and the Ayers Trust received an aggregate of 350,330 shares of Class A Common Stock.

On September 25, 2023, for his service on the board of directors of the Issuer, Mr. Ayers was granted a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award covering 29,645 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons currently do not have any other plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
