NOTE 1.
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
Colombier
Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on February 12, 2021. The Company was
formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar
business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
The Company has one subsidiary, Colombier-Liberty
Acquisition, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware on February 16, 2023 (“Merger Sub”)
(see Note 6).
The
Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early
stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth
companies.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not yet
commenced any operations. All activity for the period February 12, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s
formation, initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), identifying a target company for a Business Combination,
and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of PSQ Holdings, Inc. d/b/a PublicSq., a Delaware corporation (“PublicSq.”)
(see Note 6). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest.
The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The Company has elected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 8, 2021. On June 11, 2021, the
Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class
A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000, which
is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,250,000 warrants (the “Private Placement
Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the sponsor, Colombier Sponsor LLC (the
“Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $5,250,000, which is described in Note 4.
At
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 11, 2021, due to a clerical error, the Trust Account (as defined below) was overfunded
by $1,240,000. The overfunded amount was transferred to the Company’s operating account on June 14, 2021.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering
on June 11, 2021, an amount of $150,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which is invested in U.S.
government securities within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market
fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion
of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described
below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, subject to
an annual limit of $1,000,000, and to pay its tax obligations (“Permitted Withdrawals”).
On July 1, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised
their over-allotment option, resulting in the issuance of an additional 2,250,000 Units for an aggregate amount of $22,500,000. In connection
with the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 450,000
Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $450,000. A total of $22,500,000 was deposited
into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $172,500,000.
Transaction
costs amounted to $9,947,799, consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fees, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $460,299 of
other offering costs.
Pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement
dated June 8, 2021, in January 2023, the Company withdrew $1,000,000 and $389,298 from the trust account for fiscal year 2022 working
capital purposes and fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022 tax obligations, respectively. Additionally, in March 2023, the Company withdrew
$1,000,000 from the Trust Account for fiscal year 2023 working capital purposes.

The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations with one or more operating businesses
or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting
commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter a Business
Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more
of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to
be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to successfully complete a Business Combination.
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding
Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the
completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or
(ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct
a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public
Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned
on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund Permitted Withdrawals). There will be no redemption
rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or
upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted
in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder
vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business
or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not
pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor
has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering
in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without
voting and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender
offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of
such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section
13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares
with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption
rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b)
to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 24 months
(or 27 months, if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business
combination prior to June 11, 2023) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption
in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete
a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination
activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any
such amendment.

The Company will have until September 11, 2023
to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably
possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously
released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) or to fund any Permitted
Withdrawals (subject to an annual limit of $1,000,000), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,
if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining
stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights
or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The
Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares
will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the
Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in
the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event,
such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public
Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution
will be less than the per share value deposited into the Trust account ($10.00).
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust
Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business
with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00
per Public Share or (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account,
if less than $10.00 per public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability
will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held
in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover,
in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent
of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify
the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements
with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Business
Combination
On February 27, 2023, the Company entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Merger Sub the Sponsor, in the capacity
as Purchaser representative (solely for purposes of certain sections of the Merger Agreement), and PublicSq. Pursuant to the terms of
the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and PublicSq. (the “Merger”) will be effected and the name
of the Company will be changed to “PSQ Holdings, Inc.” For more information, please see Note 6 and the Company’s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
At March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $1,792,862
and working capital of $680,981 (after adding back $50,000 in franchise tax payable as that liability, which is included in “accrued
expenses” in the accompanying balance sheet, and may be settled using earnings from the Trust Account; $2,124 of franchises taxes
paid out of an operating cash account not yet reimbursed from the Trust Account; and $977,338 in accrued income tax payable, which may
be settled using earnings from the Trust Account).
The
Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2023 were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares,
a loan of $46,975 under an unsecured and non-interest bearing promissory note from a related party, and from the net proceeds from the
consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held outside of the Trust Account. See “Note
5. Related Party Transactions” for more information regarding the sale of the Founder Shares and the promissory note.
Additionally, to fund working capital, the Company
has permitted certain withdrawals from the Trust Account up to an annual limit of $1,000,000. The Company may withdraw additional funds
to pay income tax and franchise tax obligations. These Permitted Withdrawals are limited to only the interest that has been earned in
excess of the initial deposit made upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the
Company withdrew $2,389,298 to pay for income taxes and working capital expenses.

The Company does not believe it will need to raise
additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company’s actual costs of
identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are more than its estimated amounts,
the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need
to obtain additional financing either to complete a Business Combination or because it became obligated to redeem a significant number
of its Public Shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case it may issue additional securities or incur debt in
connection with such Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties
about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until September 11, 2023 to consummate a Business
Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination
is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined
that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution
raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying
amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after September 11, 2023.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Various
social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade
tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign,
trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods,
earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties
or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility
could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and
Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including
sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities.
On
August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for,
among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and
certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed
on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally
1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise
tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value
of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the
Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the
abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs
after December 31, 2022 in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise may be subject to the excise tax. Whether
and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise
would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business
Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE”
or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination
but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.
In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment
of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business
Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the
SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been
condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not
include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows
for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March
24, 2023. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the year ended December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company which
is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
The Company will remain an emerging growth company
until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Public Offering,
(b) in which the Company’s total annual gross revenue is at least $1.235 billion or (c) when the Company is deemed to be a large
accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior
June 30th and (ii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior
three-year period.

Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near
term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed consolidated
financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more
current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Cash held outside of the trust was $1,792,862 and $195,339 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company did not
have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Marketable
Securities Held in Trust Account
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially
all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company withdrew $2,389,298 and $0 from the Trust Account to fund Permitted Withdrawals,
respectively.
All
of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on
the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments
held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of
operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Warrant
Liabilities
The
Company accounts for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 4) and the Private Placement Warrants (collectively, with the Public Warrants,
the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria
for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair
value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet
date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations. The Warrants for periods where no observable
traded price was available are valued using a binomial/lattice model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants
from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
Class
A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock
subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares
of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally
redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject
to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity.
At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 17,250,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented
at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated
balance sheets.

Immediately
upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the re-measurement from initial book value to redemption amount,
which approximates fair value. The change in the carrying value of the redeemable Class A common stock subject to possible redemption
resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.
The
Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to
equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock
are affected by charges against additional paid in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A Common stock.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class

Offering
Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of
the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist
of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial
Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a
relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed
as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the issuance of Public
Shares amounting to $9,618,180 are included in the re-measurement for Class A common stock subject to redemption amount. The Company paid
the underwriters a cash fee of $3,450,000 at the Initial Public Offering date, and accrued deferred underwriters fees of $6,037,500, which
will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business
Combination. Offering costs associated with the derivative warrant liabilities amounting to $290,432 in the second quarter of 2021, and
$39,187 in the third quarter of 2021, totaling $329,619 for the period from February 12, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, were
expensed to the statement of operations. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their
liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC
740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected
impact of differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for
the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance
to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective tax rate
was (37.72)% and 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory
tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability, M&A expenses
subsequent to signing of a letter of intent (“LOI”), and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
period, disclosure and transition.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized
tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not
aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The
Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation
by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus
of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect
that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net
(loss) income per Common Share
Net (loss) income per common share is computed
by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Re-measurement associated with the
redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted (loss) income per common
share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement
to purchase an aggregate of 11,450,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share, since the
exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. For the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company
did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common
stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per common stock is the same as basic net
(loss) income per common share for the period presented.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company
is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and
liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts
represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant liabilities
(see Note 9).
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair
value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations.
Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement
or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3.
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 17,250,000 Units, inclusive of 2,250,000 Units sold to the underwriters on July 1, 2021
upon the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $172.5 million. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one-third of one
redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common
stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 8).

PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,250,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price
of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,250,000, in a private placement. On July 1, 2021, in connection
with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 450,000 Private Placement
Warrants to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $450,000. Each Private Placement
Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). A portion
of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust
Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private
Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private
Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
NOTE 5.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
On
February 15, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 4,312,500 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock
for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 562,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor
to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will collectively
own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the
Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully
exercise their over-allotment option on July 1, 2021, 562,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited
exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the
completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common
stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like)
for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date
on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s
stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative
Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing
on June 8, 2021, through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate
of the Sponsor a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. For the three months ended March
31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $30,000 in fees for these services, respectively, of which $13,750 and $30,000 are included in
accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
Promissory
Note — Related Party
On
February 23, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public
Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and was payable
on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021, or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory
Note of $46,975 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 11, 2021.
Related
Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of
the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital
Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds
of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the
Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust
Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with
respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest,
or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business
Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of March
31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no related party loans were outstanding.

Registration
Rights
Pursuant
to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 11, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any
warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise
of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the
Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the
Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of our Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make
up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have
certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a
Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act. However, the registration rights agreement will provide that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration
or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The registration rights agreement
does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities.
The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial
Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 1, 2021, the underwriters elected to fully exercise the
over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,250,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.
The underwriters were paid $3,450,000 at
the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters are also entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,037,500 in the aggregate. The
deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes
a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
The
Company agreed to pay for the FINRA-related fees and expenses of the underwriters’ legal counsel and certain diligence and other
fees, which such fees and expenses are capped at an aggregate of $50,000. The Company also reimbursed the underwriters for background
checks on our directors, director nominees and executive officers.
PublicSq. Merger Agreement
On February 27, 2023, the Company entered into
the Merger Agreement with the Merger Sub, the Sponsor, the capacity as Purchaser representative (solely for the purpose of certain sections
of the Merger Agreement), and PublicSq. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into PublicSq., with PublicSq.
being the surviving company following the merger (the “Merger”) and continuing in existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. Any PublicSq. convertible securities which remain outstanding and have not been exercised or do not convert automatically
into shares of PublicSq. Common Stock (as defined below) prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”)
will be cancelled without consideration, each share of PublicSq. common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“PublicSq. Common Stock”),
other than shares held by Michael Seifert (the “Founder”), will be automatically converted into the right to receive a number
of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Colombier Class A Common Stock”) equal to
the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and each share of PublicSq. Common Stock held by the Founder will be automatically
converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Class C Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Colombier
Class C Common Stock” and, together with Colombier Class A Common Stock, “Colombier Common Stock”) equal to the Conversion
Ratio.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
the consideration to be delivered to the holders of PublicSq. Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”)
will be a number of newly issued shares of Colombier Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to $200.0 million, subject to adjustments
for PublicSq.’s closing debt (net of cash). In addition to the right to receive Colombier Class A Common Stock or Colombier Class
C Common Stock, as applicable, in the Merger, holders of PublicSq. Common Stock and certain other employees and service providers of PublicSq.
(the “Deemed Equity Holders” and, together with the other earnout participants, collectively, the “PublicSq. Earnout

(or such other exchange on which the shares of Colombier Class A Common Stock are then listed) for any twenty (20) trading days within
any thirty consecutive trading day period (the “Earn-Out Trading Price”) is greater than or equal to $12.50 (“Triggering
Event I”), the PublicSq. Earnout Participants will be entitled to receive an aggregate of 1,000,000 Earn-Out Shares; in the event

(“Triggering Event III” and, together with Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II, the “Triggering Events”),
the PublicSq. Earnout Participants will be entitled to receive an aggregate of 1,000,000 additional Earn-Out Shares. If, during the Earn-Out
Period, there is a change of control of the Company pursuant to which the Company or its stockholders have the right to receive consideration
implying a value per share of Colombier Class A Common Stock equaling or exceeding the Earn-Out Trading Price underlying one or more Triggering
Events, then, immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control, (i) to the extent the relevant Triggering Event has not
previously occurred, such relevant Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred and (ii) each PublicSq. Earnout Participant shall
be entitled to receive its pro rata share of the applicable number of Earn-Out Shares to be issued based on the deemed occurrence of the
applicable Triggering Event(s).
In connection with the execution of the Merger
Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) pursuant to which it has agreed
that it will (i) fully comply with, and perform all of the obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in that certain letter agreement,

the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of
such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions
of the warrant agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th business day following the closing
of a Business Combination, holders of the warrants will have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st business day after the
closing of a Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, and during any other
period when the company fails to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common
stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis.” Notwithstanding the above,
if the shares of Class A common stock are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such
that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at
its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with
Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in
effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable
blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

at a price of $0.01 per
warrant; |
|
● |
upon not less than 30 days’
prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable to each warrant holder; and |
|
● |
if, and only if, the reported
last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable
and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
If and
when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or
qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If the
Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public
Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of
Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock
dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the warrants will not be
adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required
to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company
liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants,
nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants.
Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
At March
31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there are 5,700,000 Private Placement warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are identical
to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the common
stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after
the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be
exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.
If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement
Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS
The Company
follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting
period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair
value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would
have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company
seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is
used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
liabilities:
|
Level
1: |
Quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the
asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
|
Level
2: |
Observable inputs other
than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted
prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
Level
3: |
Unobservable inputs based
on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following
table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2023 and
December 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Warrants
were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the accompanying balance
sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented
within the statements of operations.
The Warrants
were valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s
primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The
expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’
companies without an identified target. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price
of the Public Warrant price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

The following
contains additional information regarding the other inputs used in the pricing model:
| ● | Term –
the expected life of the warrants was assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual
term. |
| ● | Risk-free rate
– the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect on
the date of valuation equal to the remaining expected life of the Warrants. |
| ● | Dividend yield
– the dividend yield percentage is zero because the Company does not currently pay
dividends, nor does it intend to do so during the expected term of the Private Placement
Warrants. |
