PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) (“PublicSquare,” or the “Company”), America's leading commerce and payments ecosystem valuing life, family, and liberty, today announced it has entered into an agreement for a $10.0 million convertible note in a private placement with a board member and his affiliates. The note has substantively identical terms to the notes offered in March 2024.

This investment underscores PublicSquare's efforts in building a marketplace and payments ecosystem, free from the risk of cancellation. The contributed capital is intended to fuel PublicSquare's continued innovation and expansion of its new payments business as it looks to capitalize on the strong demand expressed by its existing Marketplace and Financial Technology merchants.

Michael Seifert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PublicSquare, commented, “This year, we’ve focused on developing our payments business in order to serve our tens of thousands of merchants with best-in-class technology, competitive rates, and a cancel-proof promise. We believe, with the launch of our payment stack this month, with over $200M in annualized GMV (“Gross Merchandise Value”) in payments processing volume already under contract and integrating, and with a line of sight to $1.0 billion of annualized GMV by the beginning of the 2024 Christmas shopping season, our vision for the Marketplace and Payments ecosystem is materializing and is ready for scale. This $10 million convertible note investment will supercharge this initiative and allow us to capitalize on the strong demand we’ve received from our merchants.”
