Director and Executive Compensation, Corporate Governance, and Committee Fees Overview for 2025

Key Highlights from PSQ Holdings, Inc. 2025 Annual Report Amendment

PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) has filed Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. This amendment was made to include detailed disclosures required under Part III of Form 10-K, which were previously omitted with the intention of incorporating them by reference from the company’s proxy statement. As the proxy statement was not filed within 120 days after the fiscal year end, PSQ Holdings has now provided the missing information directly within this filing. Although the amendment does not update events post-March 17, 2026, it introduces several critical disclosures for investors and shareholders.

1. Corporate Governance and Board Composition

  • The company’s board of directors and executive team have seen notable changes. Most significantly, Michael Seifert, the former President and Chief Executive Officer, resigned from his executive roles and as a board member on January 27, 2026.
  • Michael Perkins has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, replacing James Rinn, who resigned effective April 30, 2026.
  • The Audit Committee is chaired by Willie Langston, with Davis Pilot III and Blake Masters as members. All current Audit Committee members are independent, as defined by NYSE standards and SEC rules, and Mr. Langston is designated as the “audit committee financial expert.”

2. Executive Compensation and Changes

  • Named Executive Officers for 2025:

    • Randy Carlson – Chief Technology Officer
    • Michael Seifert – Former President and CEO (resigned January 27, 2026)
  • Separation Agreement for Michael Seifert:

    • Seifert forfeited 1,000,000 shares of Class C common stock.
    • His remaining capital stock is subject to an 18-month lockup, under which he may sell up to 50,000 shares per month.
  • Compensation Structure:

    • Base salary, annual discretionary bonuses, and equity awards in the form of RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) are the primary forms of executive compensation.
    • For 2025, Seifert’s employment agreement provided for an annual base salary of \$500,000, a discretionary bonus up to 50% of base salary, and a grant of 12,500 RSUs vesting over three years.

3. Shareholder Information & Capitalization

  • As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate market value of Class A common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately \$78.8 million, based on the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange.
  • As of April 10, 2026, there were 48,726,402 shares of Class A common stock outstanding.
  • The company’s securities registered for trading are:

    • Class A common stock (NYSE: PSQH)
    • Redeemable warrants (each warrant exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at \$11.50 per share; NYSE: PSQH.WS)

4. Director and Executive Compliance

  • All directors, executive officers, and 10%+ stockholders timely filed required SEC reports in 2025, except for a small number of late Form 4 filings by several named officers due to administrative error.
  • The company maintains a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all directors, officers, and employees, and an Insider Trading Policy designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and exchange rules.

  • Base annual cash compensation for non-employee directors:

    • Audit Committee: \$20,000 (Chair: additional \$10,000)
    • Compensation Committee: \$15,000 (Chair: additional \$5,000)
    • Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee: \$10,000 (Chair: additional \$4,000)
    • Annual Equity Award: \$150,000 in RSUs; Initial Equity Award: \$300,000 in RSUs for new non-employee directors

6. Regulatory Status and Compliance

  • PSQ Holdings is a non-accelerated filer and a smaller reporting company under SEC rules, which may affect its reporting obligations and investor expectations.
  • The company is not classified as a well-known seasoned issuer or a shell company.

Potentially Price-Sensitive Developments

  • Executive Turnover: The resignation of Michael Seifert as CEO and director, as well as the replacement of the CFO, may be seen as significant changes in leadership, potentially impacting the company’s strategic direction and market perception.
  • Lockup of Former CEO’s Shares: The 18-month lockup on sales of Seifert’s remaining shares (limited to 50,000 per month) helps stabilize the float, reducing the risk of large insider sales depressing the stock price in the near term.
  • Equity Awards and Dilution: The company’s reliance on equity compensation and ongoing RSU grants to executives and directors could have dilutive effects, a consideration for current and prospective shareholders.
  • Committee Independence: The clear designation of independent audit committee members and the appointment of a financial expert may enhance investor confidence in corporate oversight and financial controls.

Summary for Investors

  • Leadership changes (notably the CEO and CFO transitions) are material events that may influence the company’s future strategy and performance.
  • Strong governance structures and compliance procedures are in place, with independent board committees and strict insider trading and ethics policies.
  • Compensation practices are competitive, with significant equity incentives aligning executive interests with shareholders, but also carrying dilution risk.
  • The company’s financial reporting status as a smaller reporting company may impact disclosure depth but also provides regulatory flexibility.

Disclaimer: The above summary is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. Investors should review the full annual report and amendment filed with the SEC for a comprehensive understanding of PSQ Holdings, Inc.’s financial position, governance, and risks.
