CUSIP No. 19533H108SCHEDULE 13DPage 5 of 9

 

Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
   
  This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of Colombier Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 214 Brazilian Avenue, Suite 200-A, Palm Beach, FL 33480.

 

Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
   
(a)-(c), (f)

This Schedule 13D is being jointly filed by (i) Mason Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mason Capital Management”), with respect to the Shares directly held by certain funds to which Mason Capital Management serves as the investment manager (the “Mason Funds”); (ii) Kenneth M. Garschina (“Mr. Garschina”), with respect to the Shares directly held by the Mason Funds; and (iii) Michael E. Martino (“Mr. Martino”), with respect to the Shares directly held by the Mason Funds. Mason Capital Management, Mr. Garschina and Mr. Martino are sometimes also referred to herein individually as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons”.

 

Mason Capital Management may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over the Shares directly held by the Mason Funds by virtue of the authority granted to Mason Capital Management by the Mason Funds to vote and exercise investment discretion over such Shares.  Mr. Garschina and Mr. Martino are managing principals of Mason Capital Management.

 

The filing of this statement should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by the Reporting Persons as to beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein.

 

The address of the business office of the Reporting Persons is c/o Mason Capital Management LLC, 110 East 59th Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY, 10022.

   
(d)-(e) During the last five (5) years, none of the Reporting Persons have: (1) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (2) been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

 

CUSIP No. 19533H108SCHEDULE 13DPage 6 of 9

 

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
  The source of funds used to acquire the Issuer’s securities was the working capital of the Mason Funds.  The aggregate purchase price of the Shares held by the Mason Funds was approximately $13,150,317.  

 

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

 

 

The Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates were initially acquired by the Mason Funds based on the belief that the Shares were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Specifically, the Reporting Persons believe that the Issuer’s announced proposed merger with PSQ Holdings, Inc. (“PublicSq.”) positions the Issuer at the forefront of an underserved and emerging market at the intersection of technology, e-commerce and social issues with significant room for growth and corresponding increases in shareholder value. 

 

The Reporting Persons intend to engage with the Issuer and management regarding PublicSq.’s business and strategic direction, and may explore and/or develop plans and/or make proposals (whether preliminary or final) with respect to, among other things, potential changes to the business of the Issuer and/or PublicSq., management, board composition, investor communications, operations, capital allocation, dividend policy, financial condition, mergers and acquisitions strategy, overall business strategy, executive compensation, corporate governance related to the Issuer’s and/or PublicSq.’s business and stakeholders. The Reporting Persons may also have similar conversations with other shareholders or other interested parties, such as industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment professionals and other investors and may exchange information with any such persons or the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements (which may contain customary standstill provisions). The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their intentions relating to the foregoing. The Reporting Persons may also take one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D and may discuss or propose such actions with the Issuer’s management and the board of directors of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer, and other interested parties, such as those set out above.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, consummation of the Issuer’s proposed merger with PublicSq., the Issuer’s financial position and ongoing strategic direction, the outcome of the actions referenced above, actions taken by the Issuer’s board of directors, price levels of the Shares, liquidity requirements and other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to their investment position in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional Shares or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of the Shares or the Issuer in the open market or otherwise, selling some or all of the securities reported herein, and/or engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Shares.

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
   
(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Shares and percentages of the Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person.  The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 17,250,000 Shares outstanding as of June 12, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 15, 2023.
   
(b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
   
(c) The transactions in the Shares effected in the past sixty (60) days by the Reporting Persons, which were all in the open market, are set forth in Schedule A, and are incorporated herein by reference.
   
(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons and the Mason Funds is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares held by the Mason Funds.  
   
(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
   
  Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D there are, no contracts, arrangements, understandings or similar relationships with respect to the securities of the Issuer between any of the Reporting Persons and any other person or entity.
