PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION,
DATED MARCH 21

PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
OF COLOMBIER ACQUISITION CORP. II
AND
PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO [•] SHARES OF COMMON STOCK,
UP TO [•] WARRANTS, AND
UP TO [•] SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING WARRANTS
OF GrabAGun Digital Holdings Inc.

To the Shareholders of Colombier Acquisition Corp. II:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Colombier Acquisition Corp. II (“Colombier”), which will be held at [•] a.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2025. The Board of Directors of Colombier (the “Board” or “Colombier Board”) has determined to convene and conduct the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting in a virtual meeting format at www.cstproxy.com/[•]. For the purposes of Colombier’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Current Charter”), the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting may also be attended in person at Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105-0302. The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus includes instructions on how to access the virtual Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and how to listen and vote from home or any remote location with internet connectivity. You or your proxy holder will be able to attend and vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting by visiting www.cstproxy.com/[•] and using a control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and printed on your proxy card. To register and receive access to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) of Colombier will need to follow the instructions applicable to them provided in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

On January 6, 2025, Colombier entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with (i) GrabAGun Digital Holdings Inc., a Texas corporation fifty-percent owned by Colombier and fifty-percent owned by GrabAGun (“Pubco”), (ii) Gauge II Merger Sub LLC, a Texas limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”) and (iii) Metroplex Trading Company LLC (doing business as GrabAGun.com), a Texas limited liability company (“GrabAGun”); upon subsequent execution of a joinder agreement, Gauge II Merger Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Purchaser Merger Sub”, and together with Company Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”) also became a party to the Merger Agreement (all of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the issuances of securities thereunder, the “Business Combination”). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. You are being asked to vote on the Business Combination and certain other related matters.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity (the “Colombier Merger”), as a result of which each security of Colombier outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Colombier Merger will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, (ii) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity (the “GrabAGun Merger”, and together with the Colombier Merger, the “Mergers”), and as a result of which all of the interests in GrabAGun outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the GrabAGun Merger will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive newly-issued shares of Pubco common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Pubco Common Stock”), in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

Assuming the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”, to occur on the “Closing Date”), the consideration to be delivered to the current owners of GrabAGun (the “GrabAGun Members”) in connection with the Mergers (the “Merger Consideration”) will consist of (i) a number of newly issued shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to $100.0 million divided by $10.00 (the “Aggregate Stock Consideration”) plus (ii) the cash consideration in an aggregate amount equal to $50.0 million (the “Aggregate Cash Consideration”), each of (i) and (ii) to be distributed pro rata to the GrabAGun Members at the Closing. Additionally, 300,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock will be issued to a GrabAGun consultant in consideration of services the consultant provided to GrabAGun. As a result of the transactions comprising the proposed Business Combination, Colombier and GrabAGun will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, which will operate the business of GrabAGun. The Merger Agreement also contains a closing condition, waivable by Colombier and GrabAGun, that, at the Closing, cash and cash equivalents equal to or greater than $30.0 million be delivered to Pubco, after satisfaction of all Redemption Payments and Colombier transaction expenses and also after payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to the GrabAGun Members.

 

Table of Contents

Immediately after the Closing, assuming that none of the outstanding Public Shares are redeemed prior to the Closing Date, taking into account also the assumptions further described under the headings “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, it is anticipated that the former Colombier public shareholders would own an interest of approximately 53.9% in Pubco, Colombier Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) will own an interest of approximately 13.5% in Pubco, the GrabAGun Consultant will own an interest of approximately 0.9% in Pubco, and the former GrabAGun Members will own an interest of approximately 31.7% of Pubco. If the actual facts immediately after the Closing are different from the foregoing assumptions, which they are likely to be, the percentage ownership information set forth above will also be different.

The units sold in Colombier’s initial public offering (the “Units”), the Colombier Class A ordinary shares underlying the Units (the “Public Shares”) and the redeemable warrants included as part of each Unit, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one-third of a Colombier Class A ordinary share (the “Public Warrants”) are traded on the NYSE under the symbols “CLBR.U,” “CLBR” and “CLBR.WS,” respectively. On [•], 2025, the record date for the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Record Date”), the closing sale prices of the Units, the Colombier Class A ordinary shares and the Public Warrants were $[•], $[•] and $[•], respectively. In connection with the Mergers, Pubco intends to apply for the listing of its Common Stock and Warrants on the NYSE under the proposed symbols “PEW” and “PEWW”, respectively, to be effective at the Closing. There is no assurance that Pubco will be able to satisfy the NYSE listing criteria or will be able to continue to satisfy such criteria following the consummation of the Business Combination. Pubco will not have units traded following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Only holders of record of Colombier Class A ordinary shares and Colombier Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares” or “Sponsor Shares”), at the close of business on [•], 2025 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Colombier is, and following the Business Combination, Pubco will be, an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements in future reports after the consummation of the Business Combination.

After careful consideration, the Colombier Board has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions comprising the Business Combination and determined that each of the proposals to be presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting is fair, advisable and in the best interests of Colombier and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of the above proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Colombier’s directors and officers may result in conflicts of interest, including a conflict between what may be in the best interests of Colombier and what may be best for a director’s personal interests when determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proposals”). See the sections entitled “Proposal 1: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Colombier Persons in the Business Combination” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion.

The Colombier Board did not obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination, including the securities to be issued in connection with, or the consideration to be delivered to, GrabAGun Members under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

There are currently no specified circumstances or arrangements under which Colombier securities held by the Sponsor or its affiliates could be transferred, or that could result in the forfeiture, surrender or cancellation of such securities, subject to certain permitted exceptions for pre-closing distributions or transfers of Sponsor securities (subject, as applicable, to contractual lock-up restrictions), provided, that it is possible that other pre-closing changes to Sponsor securities could occur in connection with transaction financing arrangements (should any such arrangements or transactions be pursued in connection with the Business Combination, which is not currently anticipated but could occur, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement) or otherwise. Although it is not currently anticipated that any financing transactions will occur contemporaneously or in connection with the proposed Business Combination, if any such transactions do occur, material dilution to non-redeeming Colombier shareholders could also occur, as would be described in subsequent public disclosure documents.

 

Table of Contents

Pursuant to a letter agreement between Colombier, the Sponsor, Colombier’s officers and directors and the representative of Colombier’s IPO underwriters (the “Insider Letter”), the Sponsor and such individuals agreed to (i) vote any Colombier ordinary shares held by them in favor of any proposed initial business combination presented by Colombier for approval by Colombier shareholders and (ii) not to redeem any Colombier ordinary shares owned by them in connection with such shareholder approval. No consideration was offered to any of the Sponsor or such individuals in respect of the foregoing commitments. There are currently no agreements, arrangements, or understandings, including any payments, between the Sponsor and unaffiliated security holders of Colombier regarding the redemption of outstanding securities of Colombier or with respect to determining whether to proceed with a de-SPAC transaction.

The Insider Letter contains restrictions on whether and when the Sponsor may sell Colombier securities held by the Sponsor. Pursuant to terms of the Insider Letter, the Sponsor Shares are subject to a lock-up whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Sponsor Shares are not transferable until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or (B) subsequent to Colombier’s initial business combination, the date on which Pubco consummates a transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other properties; provided, however, that if the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is approved by Colombier shareholders when presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, the foregoing lock-up terms will be amended as set forth in such proposal, upon the effectiveness of the Insider Letter Amendments at the Closing. Colombier Private Warrants, warrants issued upon conversion of any working capital loans made by the Sponsor to Colombier (if any), and Colombier shares underlying the foregoing warrants are subject to a lock-up whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, such securities are not transferable until 30 days following the consummation by Colombier of an initial business combination.

Because the Sponsor acquired the Sponsor Shares at a nominal price, the holders of non-redeeming Public Shares will incur an immediate and substantial dilution at the Closing and will incur additional dilution upon the exercise of the warrants held by the Sponsor. Additional detailed information about the potential dilutive impact of interests held by the Sponsor and Colombier’s directors and officers is contained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including in the sections entitled:

        “Questions and Answers About the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant hold in Pubco immediately after the Closing?”

        “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Colombier — The Sponsor paid nominal consideration for the Sponsor Shares it holds. As a result, the Sponsor may make a substantial profit if the Business Combination is consummated, even if the shares held by the Sponsor lose substantial value and even if the Business Combination arguably may not be in the best interests of Colombier’s public shareholders”

        “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination.”

When Colombier shareholders consider the Proposals presented in the accompanying proxy
statement/prospectus, they should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Colombier’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to, or may conflict with, interests of unaffiliated holders of Colombier shares. For instance, the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating Colombier. In such event, among other things, the value of certain interests of the Sponsor, its affiliates and Colombier directors and officers would become worthless including, among other things:

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 4,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, also referred to as the Sponsor Shares (which, upon consummation of an initial business combination or earlier, in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter, will or may be converted into Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares) held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will be worthless because the holders thereof entered into an agreement waiving entitlement to participate in any redemption or liquidating distributions with respect to such shares. Neither the Sponsor nor any other person received any compensation in exchange for this agreement to waive redemption and liquidation rights. Pursuant to terms of the Insider Letter, the Sponsor Shares are subject to a lock-up whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Sponsor Shares are not transferable until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion

of Colombier’s initial business combination or (B) subsequent to Colombier’s initial business combination, the date on which Pubco consummates a transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other properties; provided, however, that if the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is approved by Colombier shareholders when presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, the foregoing lock-up terms will be amended as set forth in such proposal, upon the effectiveness of the Insider Letter Amendments at the Closing. In this regard, while the Sponsor Shares are not the same as the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, and may become worthless if Colombier does not complete a business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the aggregate value of the 4,250,000 Sponsor Shares owned by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $45.0 million, assuming the per share value of the Sponsor Shares is the same as the $10.58 closing price of the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the Private Warrants at an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, or $1.00 per warrant, with each whole Private Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Colombier Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, in the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Insider Letter, the Private Warrants and all of their underlying securities, are also subject to lock-up restrictions whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Private Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days after Colombier has completed a business combination. In this regard, while the Private Warrants are not the same as the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $3.5 million, assuming the per warrant value of the Private Warrant is the same as the $0.7011 closing price of the Public Warrants on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the proposed Business Combination is consummated, immediately after the Closing the Sponsor is anticipated to hold 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, based on the assumptions set forth in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”, which also incorporate relevant assumptions further described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” and 5,000,000 warrants, assuming, among other assumptions further described in aforementioned other sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, no redemptions of Public Shares and no exercise of Public Warrants or Private Warrants prior to or in connection with the proposed Business Combination;

        that, based on the difference in the effective purchase price of $0.006 per share paid for the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, and $1.00 per warrant paid for the Private Warrants, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor and its members may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the unredeeming unaffiliated Colombier Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination;

        that if, prior to the Closing, the Sponsor provides working capital loans to Colombier, up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into Private Warrants at the option of the lender, such loans may not be repaid if no business combination is consummated and Colombier is forced to liquidate; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding;

        that unless Colombier consummates an initial business combination, it is possible that Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them, to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available funds not deposited in the Trust Account or from Permitted Withdrawals (provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Colombier’s officers and directors have not incurred (nor are any of them expecting to incur) out-of-pocket expenses exceeding such funds available to Colombier for reimbursement thereof, but provided, further, that if any such expenses are incurred prior to consummation of the Business Combination, Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement therefor if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated);

 

Table of Contents

        that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Colombier is unable to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Colombier, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Colombier or a prospective target business with which Colombier has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, to less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets less Permitted Withdrawals, provided, however, that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under Colombier’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

        that the Sponsor and Colombier’s officers and directors may benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate;

        that under the terms of the Services and Indemnification Agreement, Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer are collectively entitled to aggregate payments of $60,000 per month until the earlier to occur of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation, payable through OJJA, an affiliate of the Sponsor;

        that, under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support services until the earlier of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation;

        that Colombier’s directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; and

        that the Sponsor has invested an aggregate of $5,025,000 (consisting of $25,000 for the Sponsor Shares and $5,000,000 for the Private Warrants), which means that the Sponsor, following the Merger, if consummated, may experience a positive rate of return on such investments, even if other Colombier shareholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment.

For more information about the potential conflicts of interest, the nature of compensation and the potential dilutive impact of such interests held by the Sponsor and Colombier’s directors and officers, see the following sections in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus:

        “Questions and Answers About the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant hold in Pubco immediately after the Closing?”

        “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Colombier — The Sponsor paid nominal consideration for the Sponsor Shares it holds. As a result, the Sponsor may make a substantial profit if the Business Combination is consummated, even if the shares held by the Sponsor lose substantial value and even if the Business Combination arguably may not be in the best interests of Colombier’s public shareholders.”

Table of Contents

Consideration Received or to be Received, and Securities Issued or to be Issued, by or to the Sponsor

Colombier’s Sponsor, Colombier Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its affiliates have received or may receive the following consideration from Colombier prior to or in connection with the completion by Colombier of an initial business combination in accordance with the terms of Colombier’s governing documents (including upon the Closing of the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun):

 

Interest in Securities

 

Other Consideration

Sponsor

 

At Closing, the Sponsor will hold a total of 4,250,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock, which will be issued in exchange for Colombier Class B ordinary shares purchased by the Sponsor prior to Colombier’s IPO for an aggregate price of $25,000 (or $0.006 per share).

 

Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, receives $10,000 per month for services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $150,000 has been paid under the Administrative Services Agreement, with any accrued and unpaid amounts to be paid at consummation of an initial business combination.

Sponsor

 

At Closing, the Sponsor will hold a total of 5,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Pubco Common Stock, which will be issued in exchange for Colombier Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor at the time of Colombier’s IPO for an aggregate price of $5,000,000 (or $1.00 per warrant).

 

OJJA LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is paid $60,000 per month for the services of Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to the Services and Indemnification Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $860,000 has been paid under the Services and Indemnification Agreement, with any accrued and unpaid amounts to be paid at consummation of an initial business combination.

Sponsor

 

If any such loans are issued by the Sponsor and remain unpaid prior to Closing, up to $1,500,000 of working capital loans by the Sponsor to Colombier, which may be convertible into Private Warrants at the Closing, would, if not so converted, be repaid (or converted) at the Closing; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding.

 

Reimbursement for any unpaid out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination (provided, however, that as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such expenses for which reimbursement at the Closing is expected).

Because the Sponsor acquired the Sponsor Shares at a nominal price, the holders of non-redeeming Public Shares will incur an immediate and substantial dilution at the Closing and will incur additional dilution upon the exercise of the warrants held by the Sponsor, Additional detailed information about the potential dilutive impact of interests held by the Sponsor and Colombier’s directors and officers is contained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including in the sections entitled: “Questions and Answers About the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant hold in Pubco immediately after the Closing?” and “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination”.

After careful consideration, the Colombier Board has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions comprising the Business Combination and determined that each of the proposals to be presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting is fair, advisable and in the best interests of Colombier and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of the above proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Colombier’s directors and officers may result in conflicts of interest, including a conflict between what may be in the best interests of Colombier and what may be best for a director’s personal interests when determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. See the sections entitled “Proposal 1: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Colombier Persons in the Business Combination” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion.

 

Table of Contents

The Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting is [•], 2025 (the “Record Date”). Only holders of record of the Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Colombier (the “Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares”), and the Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Colombier (the “Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares” and together with the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Colombier Ordinary Shares”) at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and to vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

Pursuant to the Current Charter, in connection with the Business Combination, holders (“Public Shareholders”) of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the units (the “Colombier Units”) issued in Colombier’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) may elect to have Colombier redeem, effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares then held by them for cash equal to a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established at the time of the IPO as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Colombier in connection with withdrawals from the interest accrued in the Trust Account (in accordance with Colombier’s organizational documents and IPO prospectus), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. As of March 17, 2025, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $179.2 million as of such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of Public Shares was approximately $10.54 per share. Public Shareholders are not required to attend or vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting in order to elect to have Colombier redeem their Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares for cash. This means that Public Shareholders who hold Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on or before [•], 2025 (two (2) business days before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. A Public Shareholder, together with any of such shareholder’s affiliates or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder 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 electing to have shares redeemed without Colombier’s prior consent if, in the aggregate such shareholder’s shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, for which redemption is sought exceeds 15% or more of the Colombier Ordinary Shares included in the Colombier Units (including overallotment securities sold to Colombier’s underwriters in connection with the IPO). Holders of Colombier’s outstanding public warrants and Colombier Units do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination. Holders of outstanding Colombier Units must separate the underlying Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares and Colombier public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to Public Shares.

In order to exercise redemption rights, holders of Public Shares must:

        prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [•], 2025 (two (2) business days before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system and submit a request in writing that your Public Shares be redeemed for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Colombier’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: SPAC Redemption Team
E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

        In your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption, you must also affirmatively certify if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to Colombier Ordinary Shares; and

        deliver your Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC to Colombier’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Public Shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is Colombier’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Colombier does not have any control over this process, and it may take

 

Table of Contents

longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their Public Shares in “street name” will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your Public Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with Colombier’s consent, until the consummation of to the Business Combination, or such other date and time as may be determined by the Colombier Board in its sole discretion. If you delivered your shares for redemption to Colombier’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Colombier’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such a request by contacting Colombier’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above. See the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares it may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per share redemption price for Public Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Currently, the Sponsor beneficially owns 20% of the issued and outstanding Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, giving effect to the conversion from Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares as contemplated by the Current Charter at a one-to-one ratio (as, prior to the Closing, the Sponsor is expected to waive its anti-dilution rights that would otherwise allow the Sponsor to maintain ownership of 20% of Pubco). The Sponsor has agreed to vote any Colombier Ordinary Shares owned by it on the Record Date in favor of the Business Combination and the other Proposals.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares that you own. The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Merger Proposal will not be presented to the Colombier shareholders for a vote. If the Merger Proposal is not approved, the Charter Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal will not be presented to the Colombier shareholders for a vote. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Colombier Board has adopted and approved the Merger Agreement and recommends that Colombier shareholders vote “FOR” all of the Proposals presented to Colombier shareholders at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. In arriving at its recommendations, the Colombier Board carefully considered a number of factors described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of the Colombier Board, you should keep in mind that directors and officers of Colombier have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. For instance, rather than liquidating Colombier, the Sponsor will benefit from the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, even if the transaction is unfavorable to Colombier shareholders. See the section of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

All Colombier shareholders are cordially invited to virtually attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and we are providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof). To ensure your representation at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible. If your shares are held in an

 

Table of Contents

account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to virtually attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and vote, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting or not, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the annexes thereto) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of the proposals. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please contact Sodali & Co., our proxy solicitor, using the contact information provided in the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Very truly yours,

A:     Colombier shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a Proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination including the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, among other Proposals. Upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, both Colombier and GrabAGun will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

This proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes and the other documents referred to herein carefully and in their entirety.

THE VOTE OF COLOMBIER SHAREHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. COLOMBIER SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ITS ANNEXES AND CAREFULLY CONSIDERING EACH OF THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE COLOMBIER EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING.

Q:     What proposals are shareholders of Colombier being asked to vote upon?

A:     Shareholders of Colombier are being asked to vote upon the following Proposals:

(1)    The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — To consider and vote on a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby pursuant to which, at the Effective Time of the Mergers:

        Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of Colombier immediately prior to the Colombier Merger Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, at the Closing, substantially equivalent securities of Pubco; and

        Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, as a result of which each of the outstanding interests in GrabAGun held by GrabAGun Members will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive newly-issued shares of Pubco Common Stock and the Aggregate Cash Consideration; and

        Concurrently with the foregoing, Colombier will satisfy required Redemption Payments and Pubco will issue 300,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock to the GrabAGun Consultant under the terms of the Consulting Agreement.

We refer to this Proposal as the “The Business Combination Proposal.” A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

In addition to the approval of the Proposals at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, unless waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and applicable law, the closing of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement including, among other things, receipt of the requisite shareholder approvals contemplated

by this proxy statement/prospectus. For more information about the closing conditions to the Business Combination, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing.”

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing of the Business Combination upon agreement of GrabAGun and Colombier, or by GrabAGun or Colombier acting alone in specified circumstances as described in the Merger Agreement. For more information about the termination rights under the Merger Agreement, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Termination.”

Pursuant to the Current Charter, in connection with the Business Combination, the Public Shareholders may elect to redeem, effective upon the Closing of the Business Combination, Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares then held by them for cash equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Colombier in connection with Permitted Withdrawals, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein and in the Current Charter. As of March 17, 2025, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $179.2 million as of such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of Public Shares was approximately $10.54 per share. Public Shareholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares for cash. This means that Public Shareholders who hold Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on or before [•], 2025 (two (2) business days before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

A Public Shareholder, together with any of such shareholder’s affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate such shareholder’s shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, with respect to 15% or more of the Colombier Ordinary Shares included in the Units. Holders of Colombier’s outstanding public warrants and Units do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination. Holders of outstanding Units must separate the underlying Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares.

See the section entitled “The Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights.”

The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Required Proposals are approved at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, which Required Proposals include the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal. The Required Proposals are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. The Organizational Documents Proposals are conditioned on the Required Proposals. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Business Combination is not structured in a way that approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated Colombier shareholders is required.

The Business Combination involves numerous risks. For more information about these risks, see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

(2)    The Merger Proposal (Proposal 2) — To consider and vote on a proposal to approve, by special resolution, (i) the merger of Purchaser Merger Sub with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity and (ii) the Plan of Merger, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, and any and all transactions provided for in the Plan of Merger, including the amendment and restatement of the memorandum and articles of association of Colombier.

Proposal 4:    to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter that increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of Pubco to 210,000,0000 shares, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated Pubco preferred stock.

Proposal 6:    to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter providing that (A) special meetings of shareholders may only be called by (i) shareholders representing ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) (or the highest percentage of ownership that may be set under the Texas Business Organizations Code, as amended (“TBOC”)) of the voting power of outstanding Pubco shares entitled to vote at such meeting or (ii) by the Pubco Board or by the Pubco Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, or (to the extent required by the TBOC) President; and (B) to allow shareholders to act by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding series of Pubco preferred stock, in accordance with TBOC requirements.

Proposal 7:    to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Bylaws that increase the threshold for a quorum for any meeting of Pubco shareholders to the number of shareholders, present in person or by proxy, holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote at such meeting.

Proposal 8:    to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter that set the threshold of shareholder votes required to approve a “fundamental business transaction” (as such term is defined in the Texas Business Organizations Code, as amended (“TBOC”), including transactions such as a merger, interest exchange, conversion, or non-ordinary course sale of all or substantially all of Pubco’s assets) to a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter.

Q:     What interests do Colombier’s Sponsor, current officers and directors and advisors have in the Business Combination?

A:     In considering the recommendation of the Colombier Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, Public Shareholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as shareholders, the Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of Colombier’s other shareholders generally, including the aggregate amount at risk to the Sponsor of $5,025,000, which is the amount that the Sponsor paid for its Sponsor Shares and Private Warrants. Colombier’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to the Public Shareholders that they approve the Business Combination. Further, the interests of the Sponsor and current officers or directors of Colombier may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests and they may be incentivized to complete a less favorable business combination rather than liquidating Colombier. Public Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the fact that:

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 4,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares referred to as the Sponsor Shares (which, upon consummation of an initial business combination or earlier, in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter, will or may be converted into Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares) held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will be worthless because the holders thereof entered into an agreement waiving entitlement to participate in any redemption or liquidating distributions with respect to such shares. Neither the Sponsor nor any other person received any compensation in exchange for this agreement to waive redemption and liquidation rights. Pursuant to terms of the Insider Letter, the Sponsor Shares are subject to a lock-up whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Sponsor Shares are not transferable until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or (B) subsequent to Colombier’s initial business combination, the date on which Pubco consummates a transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other properties; provided, however, that if the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is approved by Colombier shareholders when presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, the foregoing lock-up terms will be amended as set forth in such proposal, upon the effectiveness of the Insider Letter Amendments at the Closing. In this regard, while the Sponsor Shares are not the same as the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, and may become worthless if Colombier does not complete a business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the aggregate value of the 4,250,000 Sponsor Shares owned by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $45.0 million, assuming the per share value of the Sponsor Shares is the same as the $10.58 closing price of the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

Table of Contents

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the Private Warrants at an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, or $1.00 per warrant, with each whole Private Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Colombier Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, in the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Insider Letter, the Private Warrants and all of their underlying securities, are also subject to lock-up restrictions whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Private Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days after Colombier has completed a business combination. In this regard, while the Private Warrants are not the same as the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $3.5 million, assuming the per warrant value of a Private Warrant is the same as the $0.7011 closing price of the Public Warrants on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the proposed Business Combination is consummated, immediately after the Closing the Sponsor is anticipated to hold 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, based on the assumptions set forth in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”, which also incorporate relevant assumptions further described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” and 5,000,000 warrants, assuming, among other assumptions further described in aforementioned sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, no redemptions of Public Shares and no exercise of Public Warrants or Private Warrants prior to or in connection with the proposed Business Combination;

        that, based on the difference in the effective purchase price of $0.006 per share paid for the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, and $1.00 per warrant paid for the Private Warrants, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor and its members may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the unredeeming unaffiliated Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination;

        that if, prior to the Closing, the Sponsor provides working capital loans to Colombier, up to $1,500,000 of which may be convertible into Private Warrants at the option of the Sponsor, such loans may not be repaid if no business combination is consummated and Colombier is forced to liquidate; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding;

        that unless Colombier consummates an initial business combination, it is possible that Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them, to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available funds not deposited in the Trust Account or from Permitted Withdrawals (provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Colombier’s officers and directors have not incurred (nor are any of them expecting to incur) out-of-pocket expenses exceeding such funds available to Colombier for reimbursement thereof, but provided, further, that if any such expenses are incurred prior to consummation of the Business Combination, Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement therefor if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated);

        that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Colombier is unable to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Colombier, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Colombier or a prospective target business with which Colombier has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, to less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets less Permitted Withdrawals, provided, however, that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under Colombier’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

xviii

Table of Contents

        that the Sponsor and Colombier’s officers and directors may benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate;

        that under the terms of the Services and Indemnification Agreement, Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer are collectively entitled to aggregate payments of $60,000 per month until the earlier to occur of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation, payable through OJJA, an affiliate of the Sponsor;

        that, under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support services until the earlier of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation;

        that Colombier’s directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; and

        that the Sponsor has invested an aggregate of $5,025,000 (consisting of $25,000 for the Sponsor Shares and $5,000,000 for the Private Warrants), which means that the Sponsor, following the Merger, if consummated, may experience a positive rate of return on such investments, even if other Colombier shareholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment.

In addition to the interests of the Sponsor and Colombier’s executive officers and directors in the Business Combination, Colombier shareholders should be aware that the IPO Underwriter (BTIG) as well as Roth, in its capacity as financial advisor to Colombier in connection with the IPO, may also have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Colombier shareholders, including the fact that:

        pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the IPO Underwriter may receive deferred underwriting fees in an amount equal to up to $0.35 per Unit issued in the IPO, or $5,950,000, and such fees are payable only if Colombier completes an initial business combination. Up to $0.30 per Unit of the $0.35 at the sole discretion of Colombier may be reallocated for expenses in connection with its initial business combination and working capital needs post the initial business combination, after the satisfaction of redemptions in connection with an initial business combination. Any such reduction of the deferred underwriting fee will also reduce proportionately the amount payable to Roth under the Financial Advisory Services Agreement described below;

        pursuant to the Financial Advisory Services Agreement, Roth may receive a deferred fee of up to $1,190,000, or such other amount as Roth and Colombier have agreed, as permitted by the terms of the Roth IPO Advisory Agreement, and such fees are payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth may receive a fee of $1,000,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth is entitled to reimbursement of the Roth Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $5,000, and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated.

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG may receive a fee of $1,500,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination; and

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG is entitled to reimbursement of the BTIG Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $25,000 (provided that the BTIG Engagement Letter is not earlier terminated in accordance with its terms by BTIG for convenience or Colombier for cause), and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated.

These interests may have influenced the Colombier Board in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. The members of the Colombier Board were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the Business Combination and recommended that

xix

Table of Contents

Colombier shareholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. The Colombier Board determined that the overall benefits expected to be received by Colombier and its shareholders in the Business Combination outweigh any potential risk created by the conflicts stemming from these interests. In addition, the Colombier Board determined that potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Colombier with any other target business or businesses, (ii) these interests could be adequately disclosed to shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus, and that shareholders could take them into consideration when deciding whether to vote in favor of the proposals set forth herein and (iii) the Sponsor will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco’s stock.

Q:     Did the Colombier Board obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A:     No. The Colombier Board did not obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination (including the consideration to be delivered to GrabAGun Members under the terms of the Merger Agreement). However, Colombier management and the members of the Colombier Board have substantial experience evaluating the financial merits of companies across a variety of industries, including eCommerce and other consumer-oriented businesses, and the Colombier Board concluded that this experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination and its terms. The factors and information considered by the Colombier Board, as further described under the heading “Colombier Financial Analysis” below, included information about other public companies with similarities to GrabAGun’s business and other relevant financial information selected based on the business experience and the professional judgment of Colombier management. The risks related to the Colombier Board not obtaining a fairness opinion or any similar report or appraisal in connection with the determination to approve the Business Combination are further described under the heading “Risks Related to the Business Combination and Colombier” below, under the subheading “Neither the Colombier Board nor any committee thereof obtained a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination. Consequently, you have no assurance from an independent source that the price Colombier is paying for GrabAGun is fair to Colombier — and, by extension, its securityholders — from a financial point of view.

Q:     Are any of the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:     Yes. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is conditioned on one another and are referred to collectively herein as the “Required Proposals.” The remaining Proposals, consisting of the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not Required Proposals. Unless the Business Combination Proposal is approved, the other Required Proposals will not be presented to the shareholders of Colombier at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, because they are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. The Business Combination Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals are likewise conditioned on the approval of these Required Proposals. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Required Proposals are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

It is important for you to note that if the Required Proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, Colombier will not consummate the Business Combination. If Colombier does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will be required, in accordance with the Current Charter, to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account (less Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) to its Public Shareholders. If Colombier’s initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), then Colombier’s existence will terminate, and Colombier will distribute amounts in the Trust Account as provided in the Current Charter.

Q:     When and where will the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting take place?

A:     The Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting will be held on [•], 2025 at [•] a.m. Eastern Time, in a virtual meeting format at www.cstproxy.com/[•]. For the purposes of the Current Charter, the Extraordinary General Meeting may also be attended in person at Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105-0302.

Q:     What will happen in the Business Combination?

A:     At the Effective Time, (i) Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity, as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of Colombier immediately prior to the effective time of the Colombier Merger will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, at the Closing, substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, (ii) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity, and as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of GrabAGun immediately prior to the effective time of the GrabAGun Merger will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled, in exchange for which the security holders of GrabAGun will receive shares of Pubco Common Stock and the Aggregate Cash Consideration. As a result of the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Colombier and GrabAGun will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company. For details and more information please see the sections entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration.” After the Closing of the Business Combination and following satisfaction of the Redemption Payments, the cash held in the Trust Account will be released from the Trust Account and used (i) to pay the Aggregate Cash Consideration, (ii) to pay Colombier’s Transaction Expenses due as of the Closing, (iii) to pay GrabAGun Transaction Expenses due as of the Closing and (iv) by Pubco for working capital and general corporate purposes. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Q:     What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant hold in Pubco immediately after the Closing?

A:     Upon consummation of the Business Combination (assuming, among other things, that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights in connection with the Closing and the other assumptions described under the section with the heading “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”), (i) the Public Shareholders are expected to own approximately 53.9% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, (ii) the Sponsor is expected to own approximately 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, (iii) the GrabAGun Members are expected to own approximately 31.7% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, and (iv) the GrabAGun Consultant is expected to own approximately 0.9% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock.

These percentages assume, among other assumptions, that at, or in connection with, the Closing, (i) no Public Shareholders redeem Public Shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) there are no pre-Closing transfers, distributions or forfeitures of securities held by the Sponsor, but exclude the potential dilutive effect of Pubco warrants to be issued at Closing to former holders of Colombier Public Warrants and Colombier Private Warrants (and the shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants) and excluding, also, any post-Closing equity awards under the Incentive Plan. If actual facts are different from these assumptions, which they are likely to be, the percentage ownership retained by the Colombier shareholders and GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant in Pubco, and associated voting power, will be different.

If any of the Public Shareholders redeem their Public Shares prior to or in connection with the Closing, the percentage of the outstanding Pubco Common Stock held by Public Shareholders will decrease and the percentages of the outstanding Pubco Common Stock held by the Sponsor and by the GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant will increase, in each case, relative to the percentage held if none of the shares of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed.

If any of the Public Shareholders redeem their Public Shares at Closing in accordance with the Current Charter but continue to hold Public Warrants after the Closing, the aggregate value of the Public Warrants that may be retained by them, based on the closing trading price per Public Warrant as of [•], 2025, the record date for the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Record Date”), would be the closing sale prices of Colombier’s

Table of Contents

Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants were $[•], $[•] and $[•], respectively, regardless of the amount of redemptions by the Public Shareholders. Upon the issuance of the Pubco Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage ownership of the total outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock by Public Shareholders who do not redeem their Public Shares will be diluted. Public Shareholders that do not redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination will experience further dilution upon the exercise of Public Warrants that are retained after the Closing by redeeming Public Shareholders. The percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock that will be owned by Public Shareholders as a group will vary based on the number of Public Shares for which the holders thereof elect to have redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels of Pubco immediately following the Business Combination:

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above reflect different redemption scenarios as set forth below.

        Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. As the Sponsor waived its redemption rights with regard to Sponsor Shares, only redemptions by Public Shareholders are considered for purposes of this presentation.

        Assuming 25% of Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes that the Public Shareholders holding approximately 13.2% of the Public Shares exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, which is approximately 25% of the Public Shares assumed to be redeemed under the contractual maximum redemption scenario. This scenario assumes that 2,237,793 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate Redemption Payment of approximately $23.4 million.

        Assuming 50% of Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes that the Public Shareholders holding approximately 26.3% of the Public Shares exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, which is approximately 50% of the Public Shares assumed to be redeemed under the contractual maximum redemption scenario. This scenario assumes that 4,475,586 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate Redemption Payment of approximately $46.8 million.

xxii

Table of Contents

        Assuming Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions described in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes that 8,951,173 Public Shares are redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination for aggregate Redemption Payments of $93.5 million, assuming a redemption price of $10.45 per share (based on $177.6 million contained in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024), which represents the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Closing while still enabling the parties to satisfy the condition contained in the Merger Agreement, which is waivable by Colombier and GrabAGun, that, at the Closing, after (i) giving effect to the completion and payment of Redemptions and payment of Colombier Transaction Expenses and (ii) payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to GrabAGun Members required under the terms of the Merger Agreement, gross cash or cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at the Closing will equal or exceed $30 million (the “Minimum Cash Condition”). The “contractual maximum redemption scenario” represents the maximum number of Public Shares that may be redeemed while satisfying the Minimum Cash Condition, taking into account the assumptions described above. In the event that aggregate cash and cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at Closing is insufficient to meet the Minimum Cash Condition, a condition to the Closing would not be met and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The foregoing table does not reflect the impact of any other equity issuances on the beneficial ownership levels of Pubco, such as:

        grants of equity under the Incentive Plan or any other Pubco equity incentive plans of that may be made in the future; or

        any private investment in public equity or any other dilutive financing sources, as none of Colombier, GrabAGun or Pubco has commitments for any such financing transaction commitments as this time, in connection with the proposed Business Combination or otherwise and does not currently anticipate having any such transactions or commitments prior to the Closing.

All of the relative percentages above are for illustrative purposes only and are based upon certain assumptions as described in the section entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages and, with respect to the determination of the assumptions incorporated into the “Contractual Maximum Redemptions” scenario, as described above. Should one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual ownership percentages may vary materially from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Dilution

Dilution per share to the original investors in the SPAC (Colombier) is determined by its net tangible book value per share, as adjusted, while excluding the Business Combination, while giving effect to material probable or consummated transactions and other material effects on the SPAC’s net tangible book value per share, from the initial public offering price per share paid by original investors in the SPAC as set forth as follows under three redemption scenarios.

The following table presents the net tangible book value per share at specified redemption levels assuming various sources of material probable dilution (but excluding the effects of the Business Combination transaction itself):

(1)      Colombier’s net tangible book value was calculated by total assets minus total liabilities minus ordinary shares subject to redemption.

Colombier issued shares in the IPO at $10 per share. After giving effect to the IPO and the concurrent private placement of 4,250,000 Sponsor Shares sold to the Sponsor, there are 21,250,000 issued and outstanding Colombier Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, assuming its consummation in accordance with the Merger Agreement, immediately after the Closing, Pubco is expected to have outstanding an additional 10,300,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock, including 10,000,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock to be issued to the GrabAGun Members in the GrabAGun Merger and 300,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock to be issued to the GrabAGun Consultant under the Consulting Agreement. The tabular disclosure includes presentations of information at various illustrative Redemption levels consistent with the “No Redemption”, “25% of Contractual Maximum Redemption”, “50% of Contractual Maximum Redemption” and “Contractual Maximum Redemption” scenarios further described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

For purposes of Item 1604(c)(1) of Regulation S-K, Pubco would have 31,550,000 total shares of outstanding Common Stock immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination under the “No Redemptions” scenario. Where there are no redemptions of Public Shares prior to the Closing, Colombier valuation is based on

xxiv

the issuance price of Colombier securities in the IPO of $10.00 and is therefore calculated as: $10.00 (Colombier per share IPO price) times 31,550,000 shares, or $315,500,000.

(1)      Includes 10,000,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock to be issued to the GrabAGun Members in the GrabAGun Merger, upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(2)      Includes the issuance of 300,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock to be issued to the GrabAGun Consultant pursuant to the Consulting Agreement.

The foregoing required disclosure is not a guarantee that the trading price of the Pubco Common Stock will not be below the offering price in the IPO, nor is the required disclosure a guarantee that the Pubco will attain any of the levels of valuation presented.

The above discussion and table are based on 21,250,000 Colombier Ordinary Shares outstanding on December 31, 2024, and exclude, as of such date, up to 10,666,667 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants. Although exercise of Warrants is a potential material source of future dilution, such Warrants are not exercisable until 30 days after the Closing Date, at which point they are exercisable, at the holder’s election, until the fifth year anniversary of the Closing Date, at an exercise price of $11.50 (subject to adjustment). If all of such warrants are exercised, the number of outstanding shares will be increased by 10,666,667 shares, and the adjusted net book value per share will be decreased by $2.65.

The above discussion and table also exclude potential dilutive effects associated with future issuances or grants of equity or equity-linked securities by Pubco pursuant to the Incentive Plan expected to be adopted in connection with the Closing, assuming the approval by Colombier shareholders of the Incentive Plan at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

The aforementioned equity issuances are not the only sources of potential dilution to the relative ownership and associated voting percentage associated with shares of Pubco Common Stock held by non-redeeming Public Shareholders after the Closing; any additional equity and equity-linked issuances by Pubco may result in additional dilution to Public Shareholders’ percentage ownership in Pubco, potentially significantly, which, in turn, may limit or decrease Public Shareholders’ voting power and ability to influence decision-making with regard to Pubco and may have other effects, as described above and as further described in the “Risk Factors” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

All of the relative percentages above are for illustrative purposes only and are based upon certain assumptions as described in the section entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages and, with respect to the determination of the “Maximum Redemptions,” the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed

xxv

Table of Contents

Combined Financial Statements.” Should one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual ownership percentages may vary, potentially materially, from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Q:     How many votes per share is each share of Pubco Common Stock entitled to pursuant to the Proposed Charter?

A:     Upon the Closing, each holder of record of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which shareholders are generally entitled to vote.

Q:     What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A:     In addition to the Required Proposals, there are a number of closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, including the approval of the Business Combination by the GrabAGun Members. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — The Merger Agreement” and “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus —  Proposals to be Voted on by Colombier Shareholders.

Q:     Why is Colombier providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

A:     Under the Current Charter, Colombier must provide all holders of its Public Shares with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed upon the consummation of Colombier’s initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a shareholder vote. For business and other reasons, Colombier has elected to provide its shareholders with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with a shareholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, Colombier is seeking to obtain the approval of its shareholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow its public shareholders to effectuate redemptions of their Public Shares in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination.

Q:     How many votes do I have at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     Colombier shareholders are entitled to one vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting for each Colombier Class A Ordinary Share. Holders of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares and Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class on all Proposals. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 17,000,000 outstanding Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares and 4,250,000 outstanding Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares.

Q:     What vote is required to approve the Proposals to be presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Merger Proposal will not be presented to the Colombier shareholders for a vote. If the Merger Proposal is not approved, the Charter Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Inventive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal will not be presented to the Colombier shareholders for a vote, although the Adjournment Proposal may be presented. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Required Proposals are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote its shares in favor of the Proposals.

xxvi

Table of Contents

Q:     What constitutes a quorum at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     A quorum will be present at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting if one-third of the Colombier Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting are represented in person online or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. As of the Record Date, 7,083,334 Colombier Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:     May the Sponsor or Colombier’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     In connection with the shareholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor, or Colombier’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares from shareholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of Colombier’s Sponsor or the other members of the Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase would include a contractual acknowledgement that such a shareholder, although still the record holder of Colombier’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and could include a contractual provision that directs such shareholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser. In the event that the Sponsor or any other member of the Sponsor or Colombier’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be transacted at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Q:     How will the Sponsor vote?

A:     The Sponsor entered into the Insider Letter, pursuant to which it has agreed to vote any Colombier Ordinary Shares owned by it in favor of the Business Combination, including each of the Proposals. Accordingly, because of the Insider Letter, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval for the Proposals will be received.

Q:     What interests do GrabAGun’s members and officers have in the Business Combination?

A:     GrabAGun’s members and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

        Certain officers of GrabAGun are expected to become officers of Pubco upon the consummation of the Business Combination. Specifically, the following individuals who are currently officers of GrabAGun are expected to become officers of Pubco upon the consummation of the Business Combination, serving in the offices set forth opposite their names below:

Name

 

Position

Marc Nemati

 

President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board

Matthew Vittitow

 

Chief Operating Officer and Director

Justin C. Hilty

 

Chief Financial Officer

        Additionally, each of Marc Nemati and Matthew Vittitow have been identified as nominees to serve on the Pubco Board immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, in connection with which Messrs. Nemati and Vittitow may receive compensation for such service, to the extent Pubco determines to provide any such compensation to its board and board committee members. See also the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Director Compensation — Director Compensation After the Business Combination.”

        All four GrabAGun Members, three of whom are officers, own GrabAGun Interests, and will be entitled to receive a portion of the consideration contemplated by the Merger Agreement upon the consummation of the Business Combination, including the Aggregate Cash Consideration. See also the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” for a further discussion of the equity interests of GrabAGun’s members and officers in the Business Combination.

xxvii

Table of Contents

        Each of Messrs. Nemati, Vittitow and Hilty will enter into employment agreements with Pubco prior to the Closing, which will be effective and contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination. For a summary of such employment agreements see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Executive Compensation of GrabAGun — Executive Compensation After the Business Combination.”

Please see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Interests of GrabAGun’s Members and Officers” and “Management After the Business Combination — Executive Officers and Directors After the Business Combination” and “Executive Compensation of GrabAGun — Executive Compensation After the Business Combination” and “Director Compensation — Director Compensation After the Business Combination” and “The Charter Proposal (Proposal 3)” of this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these interests.

In addition to the interests of GrabAGun’s members and executive officers in the Business Combination, Colombier shareholders should be aware that (i) under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, the GrabAGun Consultant will receive at and contingent upon the Closing, 300,000 newly-issued shares of Pubco Common Stock, representing the settlement of previously-granted restricted units in GrabAGun (which restricted units will have no economic value and be forfeited if the Business Combination is not consummated) and that the GrabAGun Consultant accordingly has financial interests in the Business Combination that may be different from the interests of the Colombier shareholders and (ii) Stephens, in its capacity as financial advisor to GrabAGun in connection with the Business Combination, has financial interests in the Business Combination that are different from the interests of Colombier shareholders, including the fact that, pursuant to the Stephens Engagement Letter, Stephens will receive at and contingent upon the Closing, a transaction fee in the amount of $2,500,000. The Stephens Engagement Letter also provides for reimbursement of Stephens’ out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement by GrabAGun, regardless of whether the Business Combination is consummated.

Q:     How do the Public Warrants differ from the Private Warrants and what are the related risks to any holders of Public Warrants following the Business Combination?

A:     The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants in all material respects, except that the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by Pubco so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Warrants on a cashless basis. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by Pubco in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Following the Business Combination, Pubco may redeem the Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to the holder, thereby significantly impairing the value of such warrants. Pubco will have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of the 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 ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is sent to the warrant holders.

Pubco will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by Pubco, if Pubco has elected to require the exercise of Public Warrants on a cashless basis, Pubco will not redeem the warrants as described above if the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or Pubco is unable to effect such registration or qualification. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force you (i) to exercise your Public Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your Public Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Public Warrants, or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Public Warrants.

xxviii

Table of Contents

In the event Pubco determines to redeem the Public Warrants, holders of redeemable warrants would be notified of such redemption as described in the Colombier Warrant Agreement (which will be amended to reflect the Business Combination). Specifically, in the event that Pubco elects to redeem all of the redeemable warrants as described above, Pubco will fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by Pubco not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holders of the redeemable warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner provided in the Colombier Warrant Agreement will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption via Pubco’s posting of the redemption notice to DTC.

The closing price for the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares as of [•], 2025 was $[•] and has never exceeded the $18.00 threshold that would trigger the right to redeem the Public Warrants following the Closing.

Q:     What happens if I sell my Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The Record Date is earlier than the date of the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. If you transfer your Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares after the Record Date, but before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, unless the transferee obtains a proxy from you to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with the provisions described herein. If you transfer your Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares prior to the Record Date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:     What happens if a substantial number of the public shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination and exercise their redemption rights?

A:     Colombier shareholders who vote in favor of the Business Combination may nevertheless also exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders. Both parties’ obligation to consummate the Business Combination is also conditioned upon at least $30.0 million in gross cash and cash equivalents being delivered to Pubco after payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to GrabAGun Members and including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of the Redemption and payment of Colombier Transaction Expenses, but excluding the payment of GrabAGun Transaction Expenses) and including the aggregate amount of any transaction financing. In addition, with fewer public shares and public shareholders, the trading market for Pubco’s stock may be less liquid than the market for Colombier Ordinary Shares was prior to consummation of the Business Combination and Pubco may not be able to meet the listing standards of the NYSE. In addition, with less funds available from the Trust Account, the working capital infusion from the Trust Account into GrabAGun’s business will be reduced. As a result, the proceeds will be greater in the event that no public shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account as opposed to the scenario in which Public Shareholders exercise the maximum allowed redemption rights.

Q:     What happens if I vote against any of the Required Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal)?

A:     If any of the Required Proposals are not approved, the Business Combination will not be consummated. If Colombier does not otherwise consummate an alternative business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), pursuant to the Current Charter, Colombier will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders (net of Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), unless Colombier seeks and obtains the consent of its shareholders to amend the Current Charter to extend the date by which it must consummate its initial business combination (an “Extension”), in which event Public Shareholders will be entitled to redemption rights in accordance with the Current Charter. If Colombier’s

initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), then Colombier will cease all business except for the purposes of winding up, and Colombier will redeem all Public Shares and distribute amounts in the Trust Account as provided in the Current Charter.

Q:     Do I have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     Pursuant to the Current Charter, holders of Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the Current Charter. As of March 17, 2025, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $179.2 million as of such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of Public Shares was approximately $10.54 per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and will only have equity interests in Pubco pursuant to the exercise of its Public Warrants, to the extent it still holds Public Warrants. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to Colombier’s transfer agent prior to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. See the section entitled “The Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to elect to have Colombier redeem your shares for cash.

Q:     Will my vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A:     No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether or not you attend or vote your Colombier Ordinary Shares at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, and regardless of how you vote your shares. As a result, the Merger Agreement and the Required Proposals can be approved by shareholders who will elect to have their shares redeemed and who will no longer remain shareholders, leaving shareholders who choose not to elect to have their shares redeemed holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer shareholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability of Pubco to meet the listing standards of the NYSE.

Q:     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:     In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2025 (two (2) business days before the date of the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system and submit a request in writing, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, that Colombier redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Colombier’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: SPAC Redemption Team
E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

Please also affirmatively certify in your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholders with respect to Colombier Ordinary Shares. A holder of the Public Shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, which we refer to as the “15% threshold.” Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a public shareholders or group will not be redeemed for cash.

Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is Colombier’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Colombier does not have any control over this process, and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in “street name” will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Table of Contents

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with Colombier’s consent, until the consummation of the Business Combination, or such other date and time as determined by the Colombier Board. If you delivered your shares for redemption to Colombier’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Colombier’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Colombier’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If Colombier receives valid redemption requests from holders of Public Shares prior to the redemption deadline, Colombier may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing (or such earlier date and time, if any, as Colombier may determine in its sole discretion), seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. Colombier may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors we may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account. If a holder of Public Shares delivered its Public Shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decides within the required timeframe not to exercise its redemption rights, it may request that the transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Q:     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:     Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who exercise their redemption rights to receive cash will be considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to have made a sale or exchange of the tendered shares, or will be considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to have received a distribution with respect to such shares that may be treated as: (i) dividend income, (ii) a non-taxable recovery of basis in his investment in the tendered shares, or (iii) gain (but not loss) as if the shares with respect to which the distribution was made had been sold. See the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Q:     If I am a Warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Warrants?

A:     No. The holders of Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to Warrants.

Q:     If I am a Unit holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Units?

A:     No. Holders of outstanding Units must separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares.

If you hold Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such Units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such Units into Public Shares, and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the stock certificates for the Public Shares back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” above. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of Units to be split and the nominee holding such Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Q:     Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination?

A:     Colombier shareholders do not have appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Companies Act.

Q:     What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A:     After completion of the Business Combination, if consummated, the funds held in the Trust Account will be used to pay holders of the Public Shares who properly exercise their redemption rights and, after paying the Redemptions, a portion is expected to be used (i) to pay the Aggregate Cash Consideration, (ii) to pay Colombier’s Transaction Expenses due as of the Closing, (iii) to pay GrabAGun Transaction Expenses due as of the Closing and (iv) by Pubco for working capital and general corporate purposes.

If the Business Combination is consummated, the funds remaining in the Trust Account after payment of the foregoing and any additional transaction expenses, if any (“Remaining Proceeds”), are expected to be used by Pubco for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Despite the receipt of the remaining proceeds, Pubco may still require other available sources of liquidity to fund its operations, including any funds on hand, any funds generated through business operations and any funds that may be available to Pubco through financing or other means, if and to the extent available.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, GrabAGun cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses of the funds held in the Trust Account. The amounts and timing of Pubco’s actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the amount of Remaining Proceeds realized from the Business Combination, if any, cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of Pubco’s business. Pubco’s management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the proceeds from the Business Combination. Pending its use of the funds in the Trust Account, GrabAGun intends to invest the funds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A:     There are certain circumstances under which the Merger Agreement may be terminated. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — The Merger Agreement” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If, as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement or otherwise, Colombier is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the Current Charter provides that Colombier 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 Colombier (net of Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as Colombier shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Colombier’s remaining shareholders and the Colombier Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to Colombier’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of all provisions of laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits, certificates, judgments, decisions, decrees or orders of any governmental authority applicable to Colombier.

Colombier expects that the amount of any distribution its Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive upon its dissolution will be approximately the same as the amount they would have received if they had redeemed their shares in connection with the Business Combination, subject in each case to Colombier’s obligations under the Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor has waived any right to any liquidation distribution from the Trust Account with respect to Sponsor Shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no liquidating distributions with respect to Colombier’s outstanding Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants will expire worthless in the event of liquidation.

Q:     When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

A:     The Closing is expected to take place (i) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below under the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Conditions to Closing” or (ii) on such other date as agreed to by the parties to the Merger Agreement in writing, in each case, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Closing conditions. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by Colombier and/or GrabAGun if the Closing has not occurred by August 1, 2025, or an applicable later date (which will not be later than November 24, 2025) if extended pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Outside Date”).

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1).

Q:     What do I need to do now?

A:     You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder. You should then submit a proxy to vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, submit your voting instructions on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     How do I vote?

A:     If you are a shareholder of record of Colombier as of [•], 2025, the Record Date, you may submit your proxy before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting in any of the following ways, if available:

        use the toll-free number shown on your proxy card;

        visit the website shown on your proxy card to vote via the internet; or

        complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

Shareholders who choose to participate in the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting can vote their shares electronically during the meeting via live audio webcast by visiting www.cstproxy.com/[•]. You will need the control number that is printed on your proxy card to enter the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Colombier recommends that you log in at least 15 minutes before the meeting to ensure you are logged in when the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting starts.

If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will send you separate instructions describing the procedure for voting your shares. “Street name” shareholders who wish to vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from their broker, bank or other nominee.

Q:     What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     If you fail to take any action with respect to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and the Business Combination is approved by Colombier’s shareholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder of Pubco. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will remain a shareholder of Colombier. However, if you fail to take any action with respect to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, provided you follow the instructions in this proxy statement/prospectus to redeem your shares.

Q:     What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:     Signed and dated proxies received by Colombier without an indication of how the shareholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each proposal presented to the shareholders. The proxy holders may use their discretion to vote on any other matter which properly comes before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

Table of Contents

Q:     If I am not going to attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting virtually or in person, should I return my proxy card instead?

A:     Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, please read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q:     If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:     No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-routine matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. Each of the Proposals is non-discretionary. Colombier believes the Proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-routine and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the Proposals presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with the directions you provide. However, Colombier expects that the Adjournment Proposal will be treated as a routine proposal. Accordingly, your broker, bank or nominee may vote your shares with respect to such proposal without receiving voting instructions.

Q:     May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A:     Yes. If you are a holder of record of Colombier Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date, and submit a proxy by mail or otherwise, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to Colombier’s secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by Colombier’s secretary prior to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting or attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting in person online and vote (although attending the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy). You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Colombier’s secretary, which must be received by Colombier’s secretary prior to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of Colombier Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke or change your voting instructions.

Q:     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:     You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q:     Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

A:     Colombier will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Colombier has engaged Sodali & Co. (“Sodali”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Colombier has agreed to pay Sodali a fee of $30,000, plus disbursements of its expenses in connection with the services relating to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Colombier will reimburse Sodali for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Sodali and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Colombier will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Colombier Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the Colombier Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Colombier’s directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the internet or in person online. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Pubco, Colombier, GrabAGun and the Merger Subs have agreed to the Business Combination under the terms of the Merger Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2025. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective times, respectively, of the Mergers, among other things:

        Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of Colombier immediately prior to the Colombier Merger Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, at the Closing, substantially equivalent securities of Pubco; and

        Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, as a result of which each of the outstanding interests in GrabAGun held by GrabAGun Members will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive newly-issued shares of Pubco Common Stock and the Aggregate Cash Consideration; and

        Concurrently with the foregoing, Colombier will satisfy required Redemption Payments and Pubco will issue 300,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock to the GrabAGun Consultant under the terms of the Consulting Agreement.

Assuming the other Required Proposals are approved, Colombier is asking its shareholders to vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Incentive Plan will be equal to 12% of the total number of shares of issued and outstanding Pubco Common Stock as of immediately following the Closing of the Business Combination.

A summary of the Incentive Plan is set forth in the “The Incentive Plan Proposal (Proposal 10)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and the form of the Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E.

The NYSE Proposal (Proposal 11)

Colombier is asking its shareholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of the NYSE Listing Rule 312.03 of the NYSE, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Business Combination and the additional shares of Pubco Common Stock that will, upon Closing, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan, to the extent such issuances would require shareholder approval under NYSE Listing Rule 312.03.

The Director Election Proposal (Proposal 12)

Colombier is asking its shareholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the election of nine (9) directors, effective upon the Closing, to serve on the Pubco Board until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until such directors’ earlier death, resignation or removal.

The Insider Letter Amendments Proposal (Proposal 13)

Colombier is asking its shareholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, amendments to the Insider Letter, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F, to revise the lock-up period applicable to the Sponsor Shares set forth in the Insider Letter to end on the date that is the earlier of (i) 6 months or (ii) the date on which the dollar volume-weighted average price of a share of Pubco Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period beginning on the Closing Date. The Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is described in more detail in this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “Proposal 13: The Insider Letter Amendments Proposal.”

Voting Power and Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting if you owned Colombier Ordinary Shares at the close of business on [•], 2025, which is the Record Date. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Colombier Ordinary Shares that you owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 21,250,000 Colombier Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which 17,000,000 are Public Shares and 4,250,000 are Sponsor Shares.

Vote of the Sponsor

In connection with the IPO, Colombier entered into an agreement with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to vote any Colombier Ordinary Shares owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other Proposals presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. This agreement applies to the Business Combination Proposal and for all other Proposals presented to Colombier shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Sponsor has waived any redemption rights, including with respect to Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in the aftermarket, in connection with Business Combination. No consideration was provided in exchange for the Sponsor’s waiver of its redemption rights. The Sponsor Shares have no redemption rights upon Colombier’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Colombier by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders). If Colombier’s initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as may be approved by Colombier shareholders), then Colombier’s existence will terminate, and Colombier will distribute amounts in the Trust Account as provided in the Current Charter.

Quorum and Required Vote for Shareholder Proposals

A quorum of Colombier shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting if one-third of the Colombier Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting are represented in person online or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Required Proposals are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Required Proposals (which do not include the Organizational Documents Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal). Unless the Business Combination Proposal is approved, the remaining Required Proposals will not be presented to the shareholders of Colombier at the Colombier

Extraordinary General Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on any other proposal. It is important for you to note that in the event the Required Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal) do not receive the requisite vote for approval, then Colombier will not consummate the Business Combination. If Colombier does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), it will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to its public shareholders (net of Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

In accordance with the Insider Letter entered into concurrently with the IPO, all of the Colombier Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor, equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding Colombier Ordinary Shares, will be voted in favor of each of the Proposals. Assuming all of the outstanding Colombier Ordinary Shares vote on each Proposal, each of the Proposals other than the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of an additional 6,375,000 shares of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, or approximately 37.5% of the Public Shares, in order to be approved, where the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares vote together with the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares as a single class. Assuming all of the outstanding Colombier Ordinary Shares vote on the Merger Proposal, the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of an additional 9,916,667 shares of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, or approximately 58.3% of the Public Shares, in order to be approved, where the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares vote together with the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares as a single class.

For more information about these proposals, see the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals.”

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. We have engaged Sodali to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person online (which will have the effect of revoking any prior proxy given before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting). A shareholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy or written revocation, as described in the section entitled “Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote.”

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Current Charter, holders of Public Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less Permitted Withdrawals, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made in accordance with the procedures reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Current Charter and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Colombier as Permitted Withdrawals). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $179.2  million on March 17, 2025, the estimated per share Redemption Price at the Closing would have been approximately $10.54. A Public Shareholder, together with any of such shareholder’s affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of Exchange Act) will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate such shareholder’s shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, with respect to 15% or more of the Colombier Ordinary Shares included in the Units.

In order to exercise redemption rights, holders of Public Shares must:

        prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [•], 2025 (two (2) business days before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system and submit a request in writing that your Public Shares be redeemed for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Colombier’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: SPAC Redemption Team
E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

Table of Contents

        In your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption, you must also affirmatively certify if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to Colombier Ordinary Shares; and

        deliver your Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC to Colombier’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Public Shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is Colombier’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Colombier does not have any control over this process, and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their Public Shares in “street name” will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your Public Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with Colombier’s consent, until the consummation of to the Business Combination, or such other date and time as may be determined by the Colombier Board in its sole discretion. If you delivered your shares for redemption to Colombier’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Colombier’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such a request by contacting Colombier’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above. See the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

If Colombier receives valid redemption requests from holders of Public Shares prior to the redemption deadline, Colombier may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing (or such earlier date and time, if any, as Colombier may determine in its sole discretion), seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. Colombier may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors Colombier may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account. If a holder of Public Shares delivered its Public Shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decides within the required timeframe not to exercise its redemption rights, it may request that the transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Colombier Ordinary Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Colombier Ordinary Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Colombier Ordinary Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in Colombier Ordinary Shares when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your Colombier Ordinary Shares will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of Pubco, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not consummated and Colombier otherwise does not consummate an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will be required to redeem all Public Shares and dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders and the Warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

Colombier shareholders do not have appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Companies Act.

Colombier Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

The Colombier Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the number and complexity of those factors, the Colombier Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. Individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. The Colombier Board viewed its decision as being a business judgment that was based on all of the information available to, and the factors presented to and considered by, the Colombier Board. Certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The Colombier Board did not obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination (including the consideration to be delivered to the GrabAGun Members under the terms of the Merger Agreement). Colombier management and the members of the Colombier Board have extensive experience evaluating eCommerce, tech-enabled services and other consumer-oriented businesses and the Board concluded that this experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination and its terms. The factors and information considered by the Colombier Board, as further described below, included industry and market information, certain guideline public company data and other relevant information selected based on the business experience and professional judgment of Colombier management. The independent directors of the Colombier Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated Colombier shareholders to negotiate the terms of the Business Combination and/or prepare a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

The Colombier Board, before reaching its unanimous decision that the Mergers and all of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the consideration deliverable to GrabAGun Members thereunder) are fair, advisable and in the best interests of Colombier and to recommend the Business Combination to the Colombier shareholders, consulted with Colombier’s advisors and reviewed in detail information and analyses provided to the Colombier Board by Colombier management, as further described below. As Colombier management and the members of the Colombier Board have substantial experience evaluating the financial merits of companies across a wide range of industries, including eCommerce, tech-enabled services and other consumer-oriented businesses, the Colombier Board concluded that their experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the proposed Business Combination and its terms. The due diligence and analyses conducted by Colombier management and Colombier’s advisors included:

        meetings and calls with the management team and advisors of GrabAGun regarding, among other things, GrabAGun’s product offerings, platform operations and technology, vendor partner and other industry relationships, customer base and business plans;

        review of material contracts and other material matters;

        financial, tax, legal, cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, accounting, operational, business and other due diligence;

        review of unaudited historical financial statements and operating information;

        consultation with GrabAGun management and its legal counsel, as well as certain industry partners;

        review of GrabAGun’s proprietary tech stack, platform scalability;

        financial analyses of GrabAGun, the Business Combination and the performance of certain public companies with similarities to the business of GrabAGun, based on publicly available information, as presented by Colombier management to the Colombier Board, as further described in the section entitled “— Colombier Financial Analysis” below.

Table of Contents

At the conclusion of this process, the Colombier Board determined that while, like all business deals, the acquisition of GrabAGun presents potential risks, nevertheless pursuing a business combination with GrabAGun would overall be an attractive opportunity for Colombier and its shareholders for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, the belief that (1) particularly among younger and technically-inclined customers accustomed to buying products online, there is a robust addressable market for the firearms, ammunitions and related accessories products GrabAGun sells on its eCommerce platform; (2) GrabAGun’s technology-first approach and propriety tech stack differentiate the company from competitors and are scalable as the business grows; (3) enhanced digital marketing, customer outreach and publicity may result in a stronger and broader earned media presence, thereby expanding further awareness about GrabAGun and attracting more customers; and (4) GrabAGun can currently be acquired at an attractive valuation.

In addition, based on its review of information about GrabAGun and its business plans, together with the results of Colombier management’s financial analyses, as further described below, the factors considered by the Colombier Board included, but were not limited to, the following:

        Robust Addressable Market.    Company management believes the addressable market for GrabAGun’s product offerings, based on U.S. 2024 retail data, may have totaled as much as $25 billion. Further, amongst buyers of firearms, ammunitions and related accessories, buyers under age 45 appear to represent growing proportions of today’s 2A buyers, a trend GrabAGun management expects to continue and believes that the Company’s online, mobile-first platform is especially well-positioned to capture, as today’s buyers increasingly favor tech-forward experiences over more traditional retail transactions.

        Competitive eCommerce Model.    GrabAGun is positioned to be a leading U.S. mobile-focused firearms retail platform for the next generation of buyers. The largely fragmented collection of mom-and-pop and chain stores that has dominated the firearms retail space to date tend to have significantly less modern, if any, digital presence or eCommerce buying capabilities. By contrast, during the 12 months ended in October 2024, mobile sales represented approximately 60% of total GrabAGun customer transactions and an estimated 58% of Company revenues.

        Cash Flow Generative Business.    GrabAGun’s business is cash flow generative and, based on the unaudited financial information provided to the Colombier Board prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, as further described under the heading “Colombier Financial Analysis”, experienced year-over-year revenue growth of close to 10% during the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the twelve months ended September 30, 2023, while the number of NICS background checks during the same period declined by approximately 8%.

        Passionate Customers and Strong User Engagement.    GrabAGun’s eCommerce platform is designed to serve the new and next generations of American defenders of Second Amendment (“2A”) rights, outdoor enthusiasts and sportsmen. A mailing list of over 1.25 million and estimated e-mail “open rate” of approximately 32% (for the 12-month period ending October 2024) exemplify the engagement of GrabAGun’s user base with its platform. GrabAGun estimates that during the 12 months ended in October 2024, GrabAGun’s average e-mail order value (AOV) exceeded its general AOV by approximately $75 per order.

        Deep Industry Relationships and Extensive Product Offerings.    GrabAGun’s long-standing vendor partner relationships and multi-brand strategy enables the Company to offer over 77,000 firearms products, including leading brands and lesser-known alternatives. GrabAGun collaborates with its trusted manufacturers, suppliers and distributors to provide integrated inventory prediction, procurement and regulatory compliance capabilities, creating scalable efficiencies and streamlining order fulfilment. The Company has also assembled a nation-wide network of 42,000 federal firearms licensed dealers that carry out legally required background checks, when applicable, and where GrabAGun customers pick up firearms products.

        Scalable Tech Platform.    AI-enabled product listings, proprietary demand predication and automated procurement systems developed by GrabAGun create efficiencies in pricing, inventory and supply chain management that distinguish the Company from retailers with more traditional firearms supply chain models. The Company’s digitized serial number database, sophisticated address and ordering systems and eGunbook compliance system provide further scalable advantages over existing competitors.

Table of Contents

        Potential Benefits from Business Combination.    While the timeline and certainty to consummate the proposed Business Combination cannot be predicted, GrabAGun’s 2A focus and digital and mobile platform make the company well-positioned to benefit from advantages that going public through a transaction with Colombier may offer, including the possibility that the company receives increased public attention and is able to access a broader network of potential customers.

        Multiple Avenues for Growth.    Enhanced marketing and customer outreach strategies and stronger earned media presence may improve GrabAGun’s market penetration and increase the Company’s user base. Additional growth opportunities for GrabAGun may include cross-selling via other marketplaces, broadening procurement channels and, in the future, longer-term acquisition and market consolidation opportunities.

        Management Continuity.    GrabAGun’s experienced management team, led by Chief Executive Officer Marc Nemati, plans to continue running the business after the Closing.

        Attractive Valuation.    The Colombier Board’s determination that, if GrabAGun is successful in achieving its goals, Colombier shareholders will have acquired their shares in Pubco at an attractive valuation based on the implied valuation of other guideline internet platform companies, as described under the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Guideline Company Analyses.”

        Terms and Conditions of the Merger Agreement.    The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination were, in the opinion of the Colombier Board, the product of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties.

        Continued Ownership by GrabAGun Members.    The Colombier Board considered that the GrabAGun Members are converting ownership interests in GrabAGun into Pubco in the proposed Business Combination and that the shares of Pubco Common Stock held by former GrabAGun Members after the Closing will be subject to lock-up restrictions described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        GrabAGun Being an Attractive Target.    The Colombier Board considered the fact that, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Colombier, the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun represents the most attractive opportunity based upon the process used to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets.

In the course of its deliberations, in addition to the various other risks associated with the business of GrabAGun, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Colombier Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative reasons relevant to the Business Combination, including the following:

        Business Plans May Not be Achieved.    GrabAGun’s business plans, including, without limitation, enhanced user engagement and digital marketing efforts, access to a broader network and customer base, potential cross-selling and other-market expansions, future identification of prospective acquisition targets and other areas may not be successful, or may take longer or be more costly to implement than anticipated, which may affect GrabAGun’s ability or the extent and timeline for GrabAGun to grow profitably.

        Readiness to be a Public Company.    As GrabAGun has not previously been a public company and its current management team has not managed a public company before, GrabAGun may not have all the different types of employees necessary for it to timely and accurately prepare financial statements and reports for filing with the SEC.

        Competition.    GrabAGun, and the firearms, ammunitions and related products offered on its platform currently and in the future, compete with offerings of larger and better-capitalized companies and GrabAGun may not be able to compete with these larger or other companies, particularly if their digital and advertising capabilities expand or online product offerings improve.

        Macroeconomic Uncertainty.    Macroeconomic uncertainty could negatively impact GrabAGun’s revenues and financial performance.

Table of Contents

        Consumer Preferences; Publicity.    Consumer spending habits are subject to personal tastes and preferences, which are susceptible to change and influence and negative publicity about GrabAGun, owning firearms, GrabAGun marketplace participants, or advisors, consultants, representatives, ambassadors, influencers or other persons who are currently or may in the future be associated with GrabAGun may deter platform engagement or sales.

        Regulated Industry; Litigation.    GrabAGun operates in a highly regulated industry and regulations applicable to the business may change over time and from time to time. Additionally, it is possible that litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

        IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity.    As GrabAGun’s customer base and eCommerce platform capabilities continue to expand, GrabAGun may need to enhance certain aspects of its systems, technology and infrastructure to meet demands associated with scaling its platform and protecting its systems and user data of its customers from cybersecurity risks, which may be costly and time consuming and which may not prevent risk of loss of personal data or other impacts of cybersecurity incidents such as information theft, data corruption, loss of customers’ data or legal claims against the company.

        Valuation.    The risk that the Colombier Board may not have properly valued GrabAGun’s business and did not obtain a third-party valuation or independent fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination.

        Fees and Expenses.    The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

        Redemptions.    The risk that holders of Colombier Public Shares exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available in the Trust Account after satisfaction (or waiver, as applicable) of other conditions to consummating the Business Combination.

        Exchange Listing.    The potential inability to maintain the listing of Pubco’s securities on a national exchange following the Closing.

        Liquidation.    The risks and costs to Colombier if the Business Combination with GrabAGun is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in Colombier being unable to effect a business combination within the timeframe permitted by the Current Charter (or any other timeframe as may be approved by Colombier shareholders), which would require Colombier to liquidate.

        Conflicts of Interest.    The possibility that the Colombier Board may have been influenced by conflicts between what may be in Colombier’s best interests and what may be best for a director’s personal interests, including the possibility that if the Business Combination is not consummated, and Colombier is forced to liquidate because it is unable to consummate another business combination within the timeframe permitted by the Current Charter, the Class B Ordinary Shares and Private Warrants owned by the Sponsor would be worthless. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination.”

        Other Risks Factors.    Various other risk factors associated with the business of GrabAGun, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Colombier Board also considered that the Sponsor and certain officers and directors of Colombier may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of Colombier shareholders (see section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination”). In evaluating the conflicts of interest referenced above, the Colombier Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Colombier with any other target business or businesses, and (iii) the Sponsor will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco’s stock.

Table of Contents

After considering the foregoing, the Colombier Board concluded, in its business judgment, that the potential benefits to Colombier and its shareholders relating to the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors and risks relating to the Business Combination.

Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Colombier Board to vote in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that Colombier’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a shareholder and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating Colombier. These interests include, among other things, the fact that:

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 4,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares referred to as the Sponsor Shares (which, upon consummation of an initial business combination or earlier, in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter, will or may be converted into Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares) held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will be worthless because the holders thereof entered into an agreement waiving entitlement to participate in any redemption or liquidating distributions with respect to such shares. Neither the Sponsor nor any other person received any compensation in exchange for this agreement to waive redemption and liquidation rights. Pursuant to terms of the Insider Letter, the Sponsor Shares are subject to a lock-up whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Sponsor Shares are not transferable until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or (B) subsequent to Colombier’s initial business combination, the date on which Pubco consummates a transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other properties; provided, however, that if the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is approved by Colombier shareholders when presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, the foregoing lock-up terms will be amended as set forth in such proposal, upon the effectiveness of the Insider Letter Amendments at the Closing. In this regard, while the Sponsor Shares are not the same as the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, and may become worthless if Colombier does not complete a business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the aggregate value of the 4,250,000 Sponsor Shares owned by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $45.0 million, assuming the per share value of the Sponsor Shares is the same as the $10.58 closing price of the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the Private Warrants at an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, or $1.00 per warrant, with each whole Private Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Colombier Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, in the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Insider Letter, the Private Warrants and all of their underlying securities, are also subject to lock-up restrictions whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Private Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days after Colombier has completed a business combination. In this regard, while the Private Warrants are not the same as the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $3.5 million, assuming the per warrant value of a Private Warrant is the same as the $0.7011 closing price of the Public Warrants on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the proposed Business Combination is consummated, immediately after the Closing the Sponsor is anticipated to hold 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, based on the assumptions set forth in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”, which also incorporate relevant assumptions further described in the section of this proxy

14

Table of Contents

statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” and 5,000,000 warrants, assuming, among other assumptions further described in aforementioned sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, no redemptions of Public Shares and no exercise of Public Warrants or Private Warrants prior to or in connection with the proposed Business Combination;

        that, based on the difference in the effective purchase price of $0.006 per share paid for the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, and $1.00 per warrant paid for the Private Warrants, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor and its members may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the unredeeming unaffiliated Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination;

        that if, prior to the Closing, the Sponsor provides working capital loans to Colombier, up to $1,500,000 of which may be convertible into Private Warrants at the option of the Sponsor, such loans may not be repaid if no business combination is consummated and Colombier is forced to liquidate; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding;

        that unless Colombier consummates an initial business combination, it is possible that Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them, to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available funds not deposited in the Trust Account or from Permitted Withdrawals (provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Colombier’s officers and directors have not incurred (nor are any of them expecting to incur) out-of-pocket expenses exceeding such funds available to Colombier for reimbursement thereof, but provided, further, that if any such expenses are incurred prior to consummation of the Business Combination, Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement therefor if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated);

        that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Colombier is unable to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Colombier, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Colombier or a prospective target business with which Colombier has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, to less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets less Permitted Withdrawals, provided, however, that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under Colombier’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

        that the Sponsor and Colombier’s officers and directors may benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate;

        that under the terms of the Services and Indemnification Agreement, Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer are collectively entitled to aggregate payments of $60,000 per month until the earlier to occur of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation, payable through OJJA, an affiliate of the Sponsor;

        that, under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support services until the earlier of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation;

        that Colombier’s directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; and

15

Table of Contents

        that the Sponsor has invested an aggregate of $5,025,000 (consisting of $25,000 for the Sponsor Shares and $5,000,000 for the Private Warrants), which means that the Sponsor, following the Merger, if consummated, may experience a positive rate of return on such investments, even if other Colombier shareholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment.

In addition to the interests of the Sponsor and Colombier’s executive officers and directors in the Business Combination, Colombier shareholders should be aware that the IPO Underwriter (BTIG) as well as Roth, in its capacity as financial advisor to Colombier in connection with the IPO, may also have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Colombier shareholders, including the fact that:

        pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the IPO Underwriter may receive deferred underwriting fees in an amount equal to up to $0.35 per Unit issued in the IPO, or $5,950,000, and such fees are payable only if Colombier completes an initial business combination. Up to $0.30 per Unit of the $0.35 at the sole discretion of Colombier may be reallocated for expenses in connection with its initial business combination and working capital needs post the initial business combination, after the satisfaction of redemptions in connection with an initial business combination. Any such reduction of the deferred underwriting fee will also reduce proportionately the amount payable to Roth under the Financial Advisory Services Agreement described below;

        pursuant to the Financial Advisory Services Agreement, Roth may receive a deferred fee of up to $1,190,000, or such other amount as Roth and Colombier have agreed, as permitted by the terms of the Roth IPO Advisory Agreement, and such fees are payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth may receive a fee of $1,000,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth is entitled to reimbursement of the Roth Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $5,000, and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated;

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG may receive a fee of $1,500,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination; and

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG is entitled to reimbursement of the BTIG Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $25,000 (provided that the BTIG Engagement Letter is not earlier terminated in accordance with its terms by BTIG for convenience or Colombier for cause), and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated.

These interests may have influenced the Colombier Board in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. The members of the Colombier Board were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the Business Combination and recommended that Colombier shareholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. The Colombier Board determined that the overall benefits expected to be received by Colombier and its shareholders in the Business Combination outweigh any potential risk created by the conflicts stemming from these interests. In addition, the Colombier Board determined that potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Colombier with any other target business or businesses, and (iii) the Sponsor will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco’s stock.

Consideration Received or to be Received, and Securities Issued or to be Issued, by or to the Sponsor

Colombier’s Sponsor, Colombier Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its affiliates have received or may receive the following consideration from Colombier prior to or in connection with the completion by Colombier of an initial business combination in accordance with the terms of Colombier’s governing documents (including upon the Closing of the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun):

 

Interest in Securities

 

Other Consideration

Sponsor

 

At Closing, the Sponsor will hold a total of 4,250,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock, which will be issued in exchange for Colombier Class B ordinary shares purchased by the Sponsor prior to Colombier’s IPO for an aggregate price of $25,000 (or $0.006 per share).

 

Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, receives $10,000 per month for services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $150,000 has been paid under the Administrative Services Agreement, with any accrued and unpaid amounts to be paid at consummation of an initial business combination.

Sponsor

 

At Closing, the Sponsor will hold a total of 5,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Pubco Common Stock, which will be issued in exchange for Colombier Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor at the time of Colombier’s IPO for an aggregate price of $5,000,000 (or $1.00 per warrant).

 

OJJA LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is paid $60,000 per month for the services of Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to the Services and Indemnification Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $860,000 has been paid under the Services and Indemnification Agreement, with any accrued and unpaid amounts to be paid at consummation of an initial business combination.

Sponsor

 

If any such loans are issued by the Sponsor and remain unpaid prior to Closing, up to $1,500,000 of working capital loans by the Sponsor to Colombier, which may be convertible into Private Warrants at the Closing, would, if not so converted, be repaid (or converted) at the Closing; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding.

 

Reimbursement for any unpaid out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination (provided, however, that as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such expenses for which reimbursement at the Closing is expected).

Because the Sponsor acquired the Sponsor Shares at a nominal price, the holders of non-redeeming Public Shares will incur an immediate and substantial dilution at the Closing and will incur additional dilution upon the exercise of the warrants held by the Sponsor, Additional detailed information about the potential dilutive impact of interests held by the Sponsor and Colombier’s directors and officers is contained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including in the sections entitled: “Questions and Answers About the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant hold in Pubco immediately after the Closing?” and “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination”.

Recommendation to Colombier Shareholders

After careful consideration, the Colombier Board has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions comprising the Business Combination and determined that each of the proposals to be presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting is fair, advisable and in the best interests of Colombier and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of the above proposals.

For a description of various factors considered by the Colombier Board in reaching its decision to recommend in favor of voting for each of the Proposals to be presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, see the section herein titled “Colombier Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

The Merger Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement and the related agreements; a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. Colombier shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this section “Proposal 1: The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement” are defined in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates, including, in some cases, as of the Closing of the Business Combination. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure schedules attached thereto which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders. The disclosure schedules were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Colombier does not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

On January 6, 2025, Colombier entered into the Merger Agreement with Pubco, Purchaser Merger Sub (upon subsequent execution of a joinder to the Merger Agreement), Company Merger Sub, and GrabAGun. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between Colombier and GrabAGun will be effected. More specifically, and as described in greater detail below, at the Effective Time, Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity, as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of Colombier immediately prior to the effective time of the Colombier Merger will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, at the Closing, substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity, and as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of GrabAGun immediately prior to the effective time of the GrabAGun Merger will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive newly-issued shares of Pubco Common Stock and the Aggregate Cash Consideration. As a result of the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Colombier and GrabAGun will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company.

Merger Consideration

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consideration to be delivered to the holders of equity interests of GrabAGun in connection with the Mergers will consist of (i) a number of newly issued shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to $100.0 million divided by $10.00 plus (ii) an amount of cash equal to $50.0 million. Each GrabAGun Member will be entitled to receive his pro rata portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration and the Aggregate Cash Consideration.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of each of Colombier and GrabAGun that are reasonably customary for similar transactions and that include certain qualifications and customary exceptions, as applicable. Additionally, many of the representations and warranties are qualified by specified exceptions or qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement, by information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement, or by reference to materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or similar qualifiers. “Material Adverse Effect” as used in the Merger Agreement means with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon (a) the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) the ability of such person or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the agreements related thereto to which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations, subject to customary exceptions.

18

Table of Contents

No Survival

No party’s representations, warranties or pre-Closing covenants will survive Closing, except for those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which will survive until fully performed. No party has any post-Closing indemnification obligations.

Covenants of the Parties

The Merger Agreement includes customary covenants of the parties with respect to, among others things, (i) operation of their respective businesses prior to consummation of the Merger and efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Merger, (ii) access to information, (iii) cooperation in the preparation of the registration statement on Form S-4 required to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Mergers and (iv) obtaining all requisite approvals of each party’s respective shareholders. Additionally, each of Colombier and GrabAGun has agreed not to solicit or enter into a competing alternative transaction in accordance with customary terms and provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Further, Colombier also agreed not to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the recommendation of the Colombier Board to its shareholders for approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to obtaining the approval from Colombier shareholders, the Colombier Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determines in good faith, in response to an Intervening Event, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a Material Adverse Effect with respect to GrabAGun has occurred on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and, as a result, the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Colombier Board, Colombier may make a Change in Recommendation, provided that such party will not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Change in Recommendation unless (i) such party delivers to the other party a written notice advising such other party that its board of directors proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying its board of directors’ determination that a Material Adverse Effect on GrabAGun has occurred, and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) business day immediately following the day on which the Change in Recommendation Notice is delivered, the Colombier Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account any adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement offered by GrabAGun as described in the following sentence) that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. If requested by GrabAGun, Colombier will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its representative to, during the Change in Recommendation Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with GrabAGun and its representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement so as to obviate the need for a Change in Recommendation.

Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination

Each party’s obligation to consummate the transactions comprising the Business Combination (the “Transactions”) are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) approval by Colombier’s shareholders of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) approval by GrabAGun’s members of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, consistent with the terms of the Seller Support Agreements entered into by each GrabAGun Member contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, (iii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended or any other applicable antitrust laws; to the extent applicable, (iv) the absence of any applicable law or order that makes illegal, or prohibits or prevents, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (v) Colombier or Pubco having at least $5,000,001 in consolidated net tangible assets either immediately prior to the Closing, after giving effect to the completion of the Redemption, or upon the Closing after giving effect to the Mergers, the Redemption and any transaction financing, or upon the Closing, Pubco otherwise being exempt from the provisions of Rule 419 promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “NTA Condition”); (vi) the members of the Pubco Board having been elected or appointed as of the Closing consistent with the requirements of the Merger Agreement; (vii) the Registration Statement having become effective in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, (viii) Pubco will have amended and restated its certificate of formation in a form satisfactory to Colombier and GrabAGun, (ix) upon the Closing, the gross cash and cash equivalents delivered to Pubco in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement after payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to the GrabAGun Members and including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of the Redemption and payment of Colombier’s Transaction Expenses, but excluding the payment of

GrabAGun Transaction Expenses) and including the aggregate amount of any transaction financing (if any, with no transaction financing being currently contemplated), will equal or exceed $30.0 million, which condition is waivable by Colombier and GrabAGun; and (x) shares of Pubco Common Stock and Public Warrants will have been approved for listing on NYSE upon the Closing.

In addition, Colombier’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things (i) the representations and warranties of GrabAGun relating to organization and standing, authorization, non-contravention, capitalization (other than the first sentence of such representation in the Merger Agreement) and finders and brokers being true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” set forth therein) in all material respects on and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the date of Closing, (ii) the representations and warranties of GrabAGun set forth in the first sentence of the capitalization representation being true and correct in all respects on and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the date of Closing, (iii) all other representations and warranties of GrabAGun being true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar limitation set forth therein) in all respects on and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and on and as of the date of Closing, except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct, individually and in the aggregate has not had a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) GrabAGun having performed in all material respects all of its obligations and complied in all material respects with all of its agreements and covenants under the Merger Agreement to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the Closing Date, (v) no Material Adverse Effect having occurred with respect to GrabAGun since the date of the Merger Agreement, which that is continuing and uncured, (vi) each Non-Competition Agreement, each Employment Agreement, each Lock-Up Agreement and the Insider Letter Amendments being in full force and effect as of the Closing, and (vii) each GrabAGun Member having executed the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

GrabAGun’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is further conditioned upon, among other things (i) the representations of Colombier relating to organization and standing, authorization, non-contravention, capitalization (other than the first sentence of such representation in the Merger Agreement) and finders and brokers being true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Closing, (ii) the representations and warranties of Colombier set for in the first sentence of the capitalization representation being true and correct in all respects (except for de minimis inaccuracies) on and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Closing, (iii) the representations and warranties of Colombier relating to whether Colombier has been subject to a Material Adverse Effect being true and correct on and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Closing, (iv) all other representations and warranties of Colombier being true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date (subject to certain exceptions and an overall “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” standard), (v) Colombier having performed in all material respects all of its obligations and complied in all material respects with all of its agreements and covenants under the Merger Agreement to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the Closing Date, (vi) the Insider Letter Amendments being in full force and effect as of the Closing, and (vii) Colombier and Sponsor will have executed the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by either Colombier or GrabAGun if the Mergers and related transactions are not consummated on or before August 1, 2025, provided that Colombier and GrabAGun may agree to extend the Outside Date to a mutually agreed upon date.

The Merger Agreement may also be terminated under certain other customary and limited circumstances at any time prior the Closing, including, among other reasons (i) by mutual written consent of Colombier and GrabAGun; (ii) by written notice by either Colombier and GrabAGun to the other if a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction will have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions, and such order or other action has become final and non-appealable; (iii) by GrabAGun for Colombier’s uncured material breach of the Merger Agreement, such that the related closing condition would not be met; (iv) by Colombier for GrabAGun’s uncured material breach of the Merger Agreement, such that the related closing condition would not be met; (v) by Colombier, if there will have been a Material Adverse Effect on GrabAGun following the date of the Merger Agreement which is uncured and continuing; (vi) by either Colombier or GrabAGun if Colombier holds its shareholder meeting to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, and

20

Table of Contents

such approval is not obtained; and (vii) by written notice from Colombier to GrabAGun if GrabAGun has not delivered the PCAOB-audited financial statements for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 to Colombier on or before March 15, 2025.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement (except for certain obligations related to public announcements, confidentiality, effect of termination, fees and expenses, trust fund waiver, and customary miscellaneous provisions) will terminate, no party to the Merger Agreement will have any further liability to any other party thereto except for liability for fraud or for willful breach of the Merger Agreement prior to termination.

Trust Account Waiver

GrabAGun agreed on behalf of itself and its affiliates that neither it nor its affiliates will have any right, title, interest of any kind in or to any monies in Colombier’s trust account held for its public shareholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) other than in connection with the Closing.

Governing Law

The Merger Agreement is governed by the New York law, provided that matters that are required to be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands (including, without limitation, in respect of the Colombier Merger and the fiduciary duties that may apply to the directors and officers of the parties) will be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands and, the parties are subject to exclusive jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in New York County, State of New York (and any appellate courts thereof).

Risk Factors

In evaluating the Business Combination and the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 29 of this proxy statement/prospectus. Among these important risks are the following:

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS

In evaluating the Proposals to be presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Some of the risks related to GrabAGun’s business are summarized below. References in the summary below to “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to GrabAGun.

Risks related to GrabAGun

        We do not manufacture products and our financial performance depends upon the ability to obtain high-quality products to sell on our eCommerce platform. If we lose key relationships with vendor partners or our vendor partners are unable to supply high-quality products to us, we might not be able to find alternative products to offer that will be attractive to our customers and our sales, results of operations and financial performance would suffer.

        We operate an online, mobile-accessible eCommerce platform featuring tech-forward customer interfaces; if we do not continue to innovate and upgrade our technology, taking into account changing customer preferences over time and from time to time, we will not be able to attract customers or sell products.

        Substantial competition could reduce our market share and significantly harm our financial performance.

        Our sales are dependent on continued innovations in the firearms and ammunition offerings by our vendor partners and the competitiveness of their offerings relative to those of other businesses.

        Our business is susceptible to changes in consumer tastes and preferences and if consumers become less interested in buying firearms, ammunition and related accessories, or stop wanting to purchase these products online, our sales and results of operations would suffer.

        The interruption of the flow of firearms, ammunition and related accessories from our vendor partners could disrupt our sales, revenues and earnings.

        Gun violence prevention and legislative advocacy organizations that oppose sales of firearms and ammunition could inhibit sales of our products.

        Our business depends on our relationships with our vendor partners and if these or other material business relationships of ours were to suffer, our sales and results of operations may also suffer;

        For us to sell products requires prospective customers to be aware of our eCommerce platform and the products we offer and we may not be able to grow if we cannot increase our digital marketing and other publicity efforts to enhance our earned media presence or cannot for any other reason continue to attract customers to buy products from GrabAGun.

        We may in the future make strategic acquisitions and such acquisitions could disrupt our operations and may have an adverse effect on our financial results.

        The sale and purchase of firearms and ammunition are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign governmental laws, violations of which could result in the revocation of our licenses.

        The success of our business depends on the continuing development, maintenance and operation of our information technology systems.

        Breaches of data security and the failure to protect our information technology systems from cybersecurity threats could adversely impact our business.

        We sell products that create exposure to potential product liability, warranty liability or personal injury claims and litigation.

22

Table of Contents

        If we lose any of our executive officers or key personnel, are unable to attract and retain the talent required for our business, including our operations as a public company after the Closing, our labor costs significantly increase or our approach to workforce management is ineffective, our business could be disrupted, and our financial performance could suffer.

        A natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at our warehouse and fulfillment facility or a third-party provider location could damage our business.

        Increases in the cost of commercial delivery services or disruptions of those services could materially adversely impact our business.

        We are exposed to risks from legal proceedings, including intellectual property infringement claims, and audits, including ATF compliance inspections, which may result in substantial costs and expenses or interruption of our normal business operations.

        Failure to comply with complex and evolving laws and regulations applicable to our operations or failure to meet stakeholder expectations on corporate responsibility matters could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Colombier

        The ability of Colombier shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of Public Shares, the terms of the proposed Business Combination or other factors may not allow Colombier to complete the Business Combination or optimize its capital structure.

        Past performance by any member of the Colombier management team or Colombier Board, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in Colombier or Pubco.

        Neither the Colombier Board nor any committee thereof obtained a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination. Consequently, you have no assurance from an independent source that the price Colombier is paying for GrabAGun is fair to Colombier — and, by extension, its securityholders — from a financial point of view.

        that Colombier’s directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination that differ from the interests of Colombier’s shareholders.

        Colombier’s non-redeeming shareholders and GrabAGun Members may not realize a benefit from the Business Combination commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Business Combination.

Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco Common Stock

        There can be no assurance that the shares of Pubco Common Stock that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on the NYSE following the Closing, or that Pubco after the Closing will be able to comply with the continued listing rules of the NYSE.

        An active market for Pubco’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Pubco’s securities.

        Pubco’s stock price may change significantly following the Business Combination and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

        Pubco will issue shares of Common Stock as consideration for the Business Combination, which will result in immediate dilution to Colombier shareholders, and may issue additional shares or other equity or equity-linked securities without approval of its shareholders, which would dilute existing ownership interests and may depress the market price of shares of Pubco Common Stock.

Risks Related to the Redemption

        There is no guarantee that a Public Shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its Colombier Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such shareholder in a better future economic position.

        If Public Shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Defined terms included below will have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “Summary Pro Forma Information”) gives effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (the “Transactions”). The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although Colombier will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of GrabAGun in the Business Combination, Colombier will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be reflected as the equivalent of GrabAGun issuing shares for the net assets of Colombier, followed by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of GrabAGun. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on December 31, 2024. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2024.

The summary Pro Forma Information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements and related notes of Colombier and GrabAGun for the applicable period included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The Summary Pro Forma Information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Pubco’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the Summary Pro Forma Information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of Pubco following the reverse recapitalization.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of Common Stock:

        Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. As the Sponsor waived its redemption rights with regard to Sponsor Shares, only redemptions by Public Shareholders are considered for purposes of this presentation.

        Assuming Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions described in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes there are no redemptions of Public Shares prior to the Business Combination’s consummation and that 8,951,173 Public Shares are redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination for aggregate Redemption Payments of $93.5 million, assuming a redemption price of $10.45 per share (based on $177.6 million contained in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024), which represents the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Closing while still enabling the parties to satisfy the condition contained in the Merger Agreement, which is waivable by Colombier and GrabAGun, that, at the Closing, after (i) giving effect to the completion and payment of Redemptions and payment of Colombier Transaction Expenses and (ii) payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to GrabAGun Members required under the terms of the Merger Agreement, gross cash or cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at the Closing will equal or exceed $30 million (the “Minimum Cash Condition”). The “contractual maximum redemption scenario” represents the maximum number of Public Shares that may be redeemed while satisfying the Minimum Cash Condition, taking into account the assumptions described above. In the event that aggregate cash and cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at Closing is insufficient to meet the Minimum Cash Condition, a condition to the Closing would not be met and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider all the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial information, before deciding whether or how to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the Proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The value of your investment following consummation of the Business Combination will be subject to significant risks affecting, among other things, Pubco’s business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the events described below occur, Pubco’s post-Business Combination business and financial results could be adversely affected in material respects. This could result in a decline, which may be significant, in the trading price of Pubco’s securities and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. The risk factors described below are not necessarily exhaustive and you are encouraged to perform your own investigation with respect to the businesses of Colombier and GrabAGun. Any reference in this “Risk Factors” section to the “surviving entity” will mean Pubco.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Colombier

The ability of Colombier shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of Public Shares, the terms of the proposed Business Combination or other factors may not allow Colombier to complete the Business Combination or optimize its capital structure.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, it is a condition to both parties’ obligation to consummate the proposed Business Combination, waivable by each party, that, at the Closing, gross cash and cash equivalents delivered to Pubco in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement after payment to the GrabAGun Members of the Aggregate Cash Consideration and including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of the Redemption and payment of Colombier Transaction Expenses, but excluding the payment of GrabAGun Transaction Expenses) and including the aggregate amount of any transaction financing, equal or exceed $30.0 million. The Current Charter also provides that Colombier will only consummate an initial Business Combination if net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of an initial business combination.

If redemptions reduce the funds available from the Trust Account to the point that the Minimum Cash Condition is not satisfied, Colombier may need to seek to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the Trust Account, arrange for third-party financing or otherwise. Third-party financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels.

If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until Colombier liquidates the Trust Account or consummates an alternative initial business combination or upon the occurrence of an Extension or certain other corporation actions as set forth in the Current Charter. If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your shares in the open market; however, at such time Colombier’s shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account or there may be limited market demand at such time. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with Colombier’s redemption until Colombier liquidates, consummates an alternative initial business combination, effectuates an Extension or takes certain other actions set forth in the Current Charter or you are able to sell your shares in the open market.

You may be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of GrabAGun’s operations.

If the Business Combination is consummated, Pubco will be affected by numerous risks inherent in GrabAGun’s business. Although Colombier’s management has endeavored to evaluate the risks inherent in the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun, Colombier cannot assure you that it can adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. Further, some of these risks may be outside of Colombier’s and GrabAGun’s control. Colombier also cannot assure you that an investment in Pubco’s securities will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in Colombier than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in GrabAGun. In addition, if Colombier shareholders do not believe that the prospects for the Business Combination are promising, a greater number of shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, which may make it difficult for Colombier to consummate the Business Combination.

29

Table of Contents

There is no assurance that Colombier’s diligence will reveal all material risks that may be present with regard to GrabAGun. Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Colombier cannot assure you that the due diligence Colombier has conducted on GrabAGun will reveal all material issues that may be present with regard to GrabAGun, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence or that risks outside of Colombier’s and GrabAGun’s control will not later arise. GrabAGun is aware that Colombier must complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders). Consequently, GrabAGun may have obtained leverage over Colombier, knowing that if Colombier does not complete the Business Combination, Colombier may be unlikely to be able to complete an initial business combination with any other target business prior to such deadline.

GrabAGun operates in a highly competitive, regulated industry and, while it has been doing business as GrabAGun.com since 2010, GrabAGun it has never before been a public company and its business and platform operations continue to change and evolve. As a result, Colombier has therefore made its decision to pursue a business combination with GrabAGun on the basis of limited information, which may result in a business combination that is not as profitable as expected, if at all, for GrabAGun, Colombier and their respective security holders. As a result of these factors, Pubco may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in reporting losses.

Even if Colombier’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Colombier’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on Colombier’s or Pubco’s liquidity, the fact that charges of this nature are reported could contribute to negative market perceptions about GrabAGun or Colombier and Pubco’s securities. In addition, charges of this nature, if any, may cause Pubco to violate leverage or other covenants to which it may be (or in the future become) subject as a result of any financing that may be obtained by Pubco or GrabAGun after the consummation of the proposed Business Combination transaction. Accordingly, any shareholders of Colombier who choose to remain shareholders of Pubco following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by Colombier’s officers or directors of a fiduciary duty owed by them to Colombier, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

Past performance by any member of the Colombier management team or Colombier Board, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in Colombier or Pubco.

Past performance by any member of Colombier’s management team or the Colombier Board, including Persons who are public figures, the Sponsor, or any of their respective current or former affiliates or entities related to one or more of them, is not a guarantee of success with respect to the Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of any member of Colombier’s management team or the Colombier Board, including any such Persons who are public figures, or any of their respective current or former affiliates or entities related to one or more of them, or any of the investment performance of any of the foregoing, as indicative of the future performance of an investment in Colombier or Pubco or the returns Colombier or Pubco may (or may not), generate going forward. Additionally, the involvement of a public figure in any business venture does not constitute a guarantee of any such success, and you should not make an investment decision regarding the Business Combination based on the involvement of such public figures. You are urged to read carefully, and consider independently, all of the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus and in Pubco’s public filings after the Closing, including the financial statements and other information incorporated herein and therein, including, without limitation, under the headings “Risk Factors” and “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination.” You are advised, in your sole discretion, to consult with your own financial and other advisors before you make investment decisions about buying or selling Colombier or Pubco securities or investing in the business of GrabAGun. Involvement or past performance by Persons associated with any of GrabAGun, Pubco, or any other businesses, entities or Persons affiliated or associated with any of them, including public figures, does not guarantee that the Business Combination, GrabAGun or Pubco will be successful, and you should be prepared to lose your entire investment.

There are risks to Colombier’s shareholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsor of becoming shareholders of Pubco through the Business Combination rather than acquiring interests in GrabAGun directly in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter.

There is no independent third-party underwriter involved in the Business Combination or the issuance of Pubco securities in connection therewith. Underwritten public offerings of securities conducted by a licensed broker-dealer are subjected to a due diligence review by the underwriter or dealer manager to satisfy statutory duties under the Securities Act, the rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and the national securities exchange where such securities are listed. Additionally, underwriters or dealer-managers conducting such public offerings are subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed in connection with the public offering.

If GrabAGun became a public company through an underwritten public offering, the underwriters would be subject to liability under Section 11 of the Securities Act for material misstatements and omissions in the initial public offering registration statement. In general, an underwriter is able to avoid liability under Section 11 if it can prove that, it “had, after reasonable investigation, reasonable ground to believe and did believe, at the time the registration statement became effective, that the statements therein (other than the audited financial statements) were true and that there was no omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.” Because GrabAGun will become a public company through a business combination with Colombier, a special purpose acquisition company, investors in Colombier and Pubco may not have the same remedies available to them under U.S. federal securities laws in connection with the Business Combination as they otherwise might have had if GrabAGun were to have gone public in a traditional firm commitment underwritten initial public offering.

In addition, the amount of due diligence conducted by Colombier and its advisors in connection with the Business Combination may not be as high as would have been undertaken by an underwriter in connection with an initial public offering of GrabAGun. Accordingly, it is possible that defects in GrabAGun’s business or problems with GrabAGun’s management that would have been discovered if GrabAGun conducted an underwritten public offering will not be discovered in connection with the Business Combination, which could adversely affect the market price of Pubco securities.

Unlike an underwritten initial public offering, the initial trading of Pubco’s securities will not benefit from the book-building process undertaken by underwriters that helps to inform efficient price discovery with respect to opening trades of newly listed shares and underwriter support to help stabilize, maintain or affect the public price of the new issue immediately after listing. The lack of such a process in connection with the listing of Pubco’s securities on the NYSE could result in diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for Pubco’s securities during the period immediately following the listing.

If third parties bring claims against Colombier, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.54 per share (based on the Trust Account balance as of March 17, 2025).

Colombier’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against Colombier. Although Colombier seeks to have vendors, service providers (other than Colombier’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which Colombier does business execute agreements with Colombier waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against Colombier’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, Colombier’s management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to Colombier and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of Colombier under the circumstances. Colombier’s auditor, Withum, has not and will not execute an agreement with Colombier waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

31

Table of Contents

Examples of possible instances where Colombier may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Colombier and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of Public Shares, if Colombier has not completed its initial business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with its initial business combination, Colombier will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Colombier within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by Colombier Public Shareholders could be less than the $10.54 per Public Share (based on the Trust Account balance as of March 17, 2025 and net of Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Colombier if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Colombier, or a prospective target business with which Colombier has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Merger Agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of Permitted Withdrawals (and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Colombier’s indemnity of the underwriters of Colombier’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under 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. Colombier has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Colombier. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. Colombier has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, Colombier may not be able to complete the Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of Colombier’s directors or officers will indemnify Colombier for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Additionally, if Colombier is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against Colombier which is not dismissed, or if Colombier otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Colombier’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Colombier’s shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, Colombier may not be able to return to Colombier Public Shareholders $10.54 per share, net of Permitted Withdrawals (and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) (which is the approximate amount per Colombier Public Share based on the Trust Account balance as of March 17, 2025). Colombier has access to minimal funds held outside the Trust Account with which to pay any such potential claims. In the event that Colombier liquidates, and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors, however such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from our Trust Account received by any such shareholder.

Involvement or past performance by consultants, advisors, influencers, brand ambassadors and other Persons involved with GrabAGun or Pubco, including members of their respective boards of directors, managers, consultants, advisors and other Persons, some or all of whom are public figures, may not be indicative of the future performance of GrabAGun and Pubco and you should assess the merits of GrabAGun’s business independently and be prepared to lose your entire investment.

Involvement or past performance by advisors, consultants, influencers, ambassadors, members of boards of directors, executive officers, managers and other Persons involved with GrabAGun or Pubco, or Persons or entities affiliated, associated or otherwise related to any of the foregoing, is not a guarantee of success with respect to the Business Combination or the future results of GrabAGun or trading prices of Pubco securities. You should not rely upon the involvement or past performance of any Person or Persons as indicative of whether or not you should invest

in Colombier, Pubco or GrabAGun. You are urged to read carefully, and consider independently, all of the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus and in Pubco’s public filings after the Closing, including the financial statements and other information incorporated herein and therein, including, without limitation, under the headings “Risk Factors” and “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination.” You are advised, in your sole discretion, to consult with your own financial and other advisors before you make investment decisions about buying or selling Colombier or Pubco securities or investing in the business of GrabAGun. Involvement or past performance by Persons associated with any of GrabAGun, Pubco, or any other businesses, entities or Persons affiliated or associated with any of them, including public figures, does not guarantee that the Business Combination, GrabAGun or Pubco will be successful, and you should be prepared to lose your entire investment.

Colombier’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Colombier to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If Colombier is forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, Colombier was unable to pay Colombier’s debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by Colombier’s shareholders. Furthermore, Colombier’s directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Colombier or Colombier’s creditors or having acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and Colombier to claims, by paying Colombier Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Colombier cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against Colombier for these reasons. Colombier and its directors or any manager thereof who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of Colombier’s share premium account while Colombier was unable to pay Colombier’s debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in the section entitled Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” may not be representative of Pubco’s results if the Business Combination is consummated and, accordingly, you will have limited financial information on which to evaluate the financial performance of Pubco and your investment decision.

Colombier and GrabAGun currently operate as separate companies, and Pubco is an entity established solely to effect the proposed Business Combination and has no operations. Colombier has had no prior history as an operating company and its operations have not previously been managed on a combined basis. The pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Business Combination been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of Pubco. The pro forma statement of operations does not reflect future nonrecurring charges resulting from the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Business Combination and does not consider potential impacts of current or future market conditions on revenues or expenses. The pro forma financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” has been derived from Colombier’s and GrabAGun’s historical financial statements and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding Pubco after giving effect to the Business Combination. Differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting will occur and could have an adverse impact on the pro forma financial information and Pubco’s financial position and future results of operations.

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect Pubco’s financial condition or results of operations following the Closing. Any potential decline in Pubco’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the stock price of Pubco.

Colombier may issue preferred stock or additional ordinary shares to complete the Business Combination, which would dilute the interest of Colombier shareholders and likely present other risks.

The Current Charter authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000,000 Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, 50,000,000 Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, and 1,000,000 Colombier Preference Shares. There are currently 483,000,000 authorized but unissued Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares available for issuance, which amount

Table of Contents

does not take into account shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants. There are currently 45,750,000 authorized but unissued Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares available for issuance. There are currently no shares of Colombier Preference Shares issued and outstanding.

Colombier may issue preference shares or a substantial number of additional ordinary shares to complete the initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of the Business Combination. However, the Current Charter provides, among other things, that prior to Colombier’s initial business combination, Colombier may not issue additional shares of capital stock that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account or (ii) vote on any initial business combination. These provisions of the Current Charter may be amended with a shareholder vote. Colombier’s Sponsor agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with Colombier, that it will not propose any amendment to the Current Charter that would affect the substance or timing of Colombier’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if Colombier does not complete the initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), unless Colombier provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest will be net of Permitted Withdrawals), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. The issuance of additional shares:

        may significantly dilute the equity interest of existing investors;

        may subordinate the rights of shareholders if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded the Colombier Ordinary Shares;

        could cause a change of control if a substantial number of ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, Colombier’s ability to use its net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of Colombier’s present officers and directors; and

        may adversely affect prevailing market prices for Colombier’s Units, Public Shares, and/or Warrants.

Neither the Colombier Board nor any committee thereof obtained a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination. Consequently, you have no assurance from an independent source that the price Colombier is paying for GrabAGun is fair to Colombier — and, by extension, its securityholders — from a financial point of view.

Neither the Colombier Board nor any committee thereof obtained an opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that Colombier is paying for GrabAGun in the Business Combination is fair to Colombier from a financial point of view. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Colombier Board reviewed summaries of due diligence results and financial analyses prepared by Colombier management. The Colombier Board also consulted with legal counsel and with Colombier management and considered a number of factors, uncertainty and risks, including, but not limited to, those discussed under “The Business Combination Proposal — Colombier Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”, and concluded that the proposed Business Combination is fair, advisable and in the best interest of Colombier. The Colombier Board believes that, because of the professional experience and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the proposed Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its shareholders and that GrabAGun’s fair market value was at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting discount and Permitted Withdrawals) at the time of execution of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Colombier Board in valuing GrabAGun, and the Colombier Board may not have properly valued such businesses. As a result, the terms of the Business Combination may not be fair from a financial point of view to the Public Shareholders. The lack of a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) may also lead an increased number of Colombier shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares of Colombier, which could potentially impact Colombier’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

The Colombier Board did not obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination (including the consideration to be delivered to GrabAGun Members under the terms of the Merger Agreement).

In part because fairness opinions or any similar reports or appraisals ordinarily rely in part on financial projections (which were neither prepared by GrabAGun nor used by the Colombier Board in connection with its evaluation of the proposed Business Combination), the Colombier Board also did not obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination (including the consideration to be paid to the GrabAGun Members under the terms of the Merger Agreement). Accordingly, investors in Colombier will be relying solely on the judgment of the Colombier Board in valuing GrabAGun.

Colombier’s management and the members of the Colombier Board have substantial experience evaluating the financial merits of companies across a variety of industries, including eCommerce and other consumer-oriented businesses, which the Colombier Board concluded enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. The Colombier Board was provided with financial analyses prepared by Colombier management (the “Colombier Financial Analyses” as further described under the heading “Colombier Financial Analysis” within the “Background of the Business Combination” section of this proxy statement/prospectus), which analyses were among the factors considered by the Colombier Board in its decision-making regarding the proposed Business Combination (as further described under the heading “Colombier Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”).

Colombier’s financial analyses consisted of Guideline Company Analyses prepared by Colombier management and GrabAGun Information (each as defined under the heading “Guideline Company Analyses” within the “Background of the Business Combination” section of this proxy statement/prospectus) which included, among other materials, i) certain GrabAGun historical unaudited financial and operating history information; (ii) information about GrabAGun’s existing user base and customer network (including, without limitation, regarding GrabAGun’s existing e-mail and other outreach efforts, user engagement and comparative order values), (iii) technical information about components of GrabAGun’s eCommerce platform (including, among other elements, predictive inventory and procurement capabilities, AI-enhanced product listings, integrations with third-party databases, financing and payments capabilities) and its scalability and (iv) management’s business plans, including potential enhancements to the Company’s existing customer outreach and marketing strategies in connection with the proposed Business Combination and generally as well as other potential avenues for future growth.

All of the information incorporated in Colombier’s financial analyses are subject to general qualifications and limitations described under the sub-heading “General Limitations,” which follows the description of the Colombier Financial Analysis contained in the “Background of the Business Combination” section of the disclosure; investors are also encouraged to read carefully the descriptions about various risks and uncertainties concerning GrabAGun’s business described herein, including under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of GrabAGun” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Including because, as described above, Colombier did not obtain an opinion from an independent third-party valuation firm as to the fairness of the proposed Business Combination to Colombier from a financial point of view, and in light of the qualifications and limitations described under “General Limitations” and elsewhere in the description of the Colombier Financial Analysis incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Colombier Board may not have properly valued GrabAGun. As a result, the terms of the proposed Business Combination may not be fair from a financial point of view to the Public Shareholders of Colombier. Uncertainty about Colombier Board’s valuation of GrabAGun or the consideration being offered to the GrabAGun Members in the Business Combination, may lead an increased number of Colombier shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares of Colombier, which could potentially impact Colombier’s ability to consummate the Business Combination. Further, investors are encouraged to read carefully the descriptions about various risks and uncertainties concerning GrabAGun’s business described in this proxy statement/prospectus, including under the headings “Risk Factors,” Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of GrabAGun” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Table of Contents

Colombier is dependent upon its executive officers and directors and their departure could adversely affect Colombier’s ability to operate and to consummate the initial business combination. Additionally, Colombier’s executive officers and directors also allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing potential conflicts of interest that could have a negative impact on Colombier’s ability to complete the initial business combination.

Colombier’s operations and its ability to consummate the Business Combination are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, its executive officers and directors. Colombier believes that its success depends on the continued service of its executive officers and directors, at least until the completion of the Business Combination. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of Colombier’s directors or executive officers could have a detrimental effect on Colombier and the ability to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, Colombier’s executive officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to its affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including monitoring the due diligence and undertaking the other actions required in order to consummate the Business Combination. Each of Colombier’s executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which they may be entitled to substantial compensation, and Colombier’s directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. If Colombier’s executive officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to Colombier’s affairs, which may have a negative impact on Colombier’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

Pubco’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will depend upon the efforts of the Pubco Board and key personnel, and the loss of such persons could negatively impact the operations and profitability of Pubco’s post-Business Combination business.

Pubco’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will be dependent upon the efforts of the Pubco Board and key personnel of Pubco. Colombier cannot assure you that the Pubco Board and key personnel will be effective or successful or remain with Pubco. In addition to the other challenges they will face, such individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company, which could cause Pubco’s management to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

It is estimated that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, assuming no redemptions prior to or in connection with the proposed Business Combination, Colombier’s Public Shareholders will own approximately 53.9% of the equity interests or assets of Pubco after the Closing and Colombier’s management will not be engaged in the management of Pubco’s business. Accordingly, the future performance of Pubco will depend upon the quality of the post-Business Combination board of directors, management and key personnel of Pubco.

Because Colombier’s Sponsor will lose its entire investment in Colombier if the Business Combination or an alternative business combination is not completed by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), and because Colombier’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors will not be eligible to be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses if the Business Combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may have arisen in determining whether GrabAGun was appropriate for Colombier’s initial business combination.

The Sponsor received 4,250,000 Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares from Colombier for an aggregate price of $25,000, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, if it is consummated, and, based on the closing price of the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on March 14, 2025, which was $10.58, would have an aggregate value of $44,965,000 as of the same date. If Colombier does not consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), and Colombier is therefore required to be liquidated, these shares would be worthless, as the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption or liquidation of the Trust Account. Additionally, unless Colombier consummates an initial business combination, it is possible that Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them, to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available funds not deposited in the Trust Account (provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Colombier’s officers and directors have not incurred (nor are any of the forgoing expecting to occur) out-of-pocket expenses exceeding such funds available to Colombier for reimbursement thereof, but provided, further, that if any such expenses are incurred prior to consummation of the Business Combination, Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement therefor if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated).

36

Table of Contents

The personal and financial interests of Colombier’s executive officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. At the closing of Colombier’s initial business combination, its Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Colombier’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. In the event the Business Combination or an alternative business combination is completed, there is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Colombier’s behalf. However, Colombier’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will not be eligible for any such reimbursement if the Business Combination or an alternative business combination is not completed. Such financial interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in approving the Business Combination and may influence their motivation for completing the Business Combination.

The Sponsor paid nominal consideration for the Sponsor Shares it holds. As a result, the Sponsor may make a substantial profit if the Business Combination is consummated, even if the shares held by the Sponsor lose substantial value and even if the Business Combination arguably may not be in the best interests of Colombier’s public shareholders.

The Sponsor has invested in Colombier an aggregate of $5,025,000, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for the Sponsor Shares and the $5,000,000 purchase price for the Private Warrants. Assuming a trading price of $10.58 per share of Pubco upon consummation of the Business Combination, the 4,250,000 Sponsor Shares would have an aggregate implied value of $44,965,000 at that time. Even if the trading price of Pubco Common Stock were as low as approximately $1.18 per share and the Private Warrants were worthless, the value of the Sponsor Shares would be equal to the Sponsor’s initial investment in Colombier. If the Business Combination is not completed, however, and if Colombier is forced to liquidate, the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in Colombier. As a result, the Sponsor is likely to be able to recoup its investment in Colombier and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if the Public Shares have lost significant value.

Colombier’s directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination that differ from the interests of Colombier’s shareholders.

Executive officers of Colombier negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement with their counterparts at GrabAGun, and the Colombier Board determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair, advisable and in the best interests of Colombier, and approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that Colombier’s executive officers and directors may have financial interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Colombier’s shareholders, including, but not limited to, the continued service as an officer or director of Pubco, severance benefits, equity grants, continued indemnification and the potential ability to sell an increased number of shares of common stock of Pubco.

The Colombier Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were fair, advisable and in the best interests of Colombier. For a detailed discussion of the special interests that Colombier’s directors and executive officers may have in the Business Combination, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Proposal No. 1: The Business Combination Proposal — Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination.”

You should consider the financial incentives that Colombier’s officers and directors may have to approve and complete the Business Combination when evaluating whether vote for the Business Combination Proposal, as well as when considering whether to redeem your Public Shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination.

The exercise of Colombier’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Colombier’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require Colombier to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by GrabAGun or to waive rights that Colombier is entitled to under the Merger Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of GrabAGun’s business or a request by GrabAGun to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Colombier’s discretion to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors or officers described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or officers(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for Colombier and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action.

Colombier and GrabAGun will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

Colombier and GrabAGun have incurred significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination, and Pubco will incur significant costs in operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. Pubco may also incur additional costs to retain key employees.

These expenses will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by Pubco if the Business Combination is completed or by Colombier if the Business Combination is not completed. If the Business Combination is not consummated, Colombier may not have sufficient funds to seek an alternative business combination and may be forced to liquidate and dissolve.

The value of the Pubco shares which are issued at Closing in consideration of the Sponsor Shares upon consummation would likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for the Sponsor Shares, even if the trading price of Pubco Common Stock at such time is substantially less than $10.00 per share.

The Sponsor has invested in Colombier an aggregate of $5,025,000, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for the Sponsor Shares and the $5,000,000 purchase price for the Private Warrants. Assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share upon consummation of the Business Combination, the 4,250,000 Sponsor Shares would have an aggregate implied value of approximately $42,500,000. Even if the trading price of Pubco Common Stock were as low as approximately $1.18 per share, and the Private Warrants were worthless, the value of the Sponsor Shares would be equal to the Sponsor’s initial investment in Colombier. As a result, the Sponsor is likely to be able to recoup its investment in Pubco and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if the Public Shares have lost significant value. Accordingly, the Colombier management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the public shareholders to pursue and consummate the Business Combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the trust to the public shareholders. For the foregoing reasons, you should consider the Colombier management team’s financial incentive to complete the Business Combination when evaluating whether to redeem your shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination.

Colombier’s non-redeeming shareholders and GrabAGun Members may not realize a benefit from the Business Combination commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Business Combination.

If Pubco is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Business Combination, Colombier shareholders and GrabAGun Members will have experienced substantial dilution of their ownership interests in their respective companies without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent Pubco and GrabAGun are able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Business Combination.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, Colombier and GrabAGun may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement, which could adversely affect their respective businesses. Further, certain provisions of the Merger Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Covenants in the Merger Agreement impede the ability of Colombier and GrabAGun to make acquisitions or complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending completion of the Business Combination. As a result, if the Business Combination is not completed, the parties may be at a disadvantage to their competitors during the interim period prior to Closing. In addition, while the Merger Agreement is in effect, each party is generally prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or entering into certain extraordinary transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination outside the ordinary course of business, with any third party, which transactions, if any materialized and were pursued, could have been or could be favorable to such party’s shareholders.

If the conditions to the Merger are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

Even if the Business Combination is approved by the shareholders of Colombier (including each of the Required Proposals) and GrabAGun Members, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Business Combination. These conditions are described in detail in the Merger Agreement and, in addition to shareholder and member consent, include, among other requirements, (i) approval by Colombier’s shareholders of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) approval by GrabAGun’s members of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (iii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended or any other applicable antitrust laws; (iv) the absence of any applicable law or order that makes illegal, or prohibits or prevents, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (v) Colombier or Pubco having at least $5,000,001 in consolidated net tangible assets either immediately prior to the Closing, after giving effect to the completion of the Redemption, or upon the Closing after giving effect to the Mergers, the Redemption and any transaction financing, or upon the Closing, Pubco otherwise being exempt from the provisions of Rule 419 promulgated under the Exchange Act; (vi) the members of the Pubco Board having been elected or appointed as of the Closing consistent with the requirements of the Merger Agreement; (vii) the Registration Statement having become effective in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, (viii) Pubco will have amended and restated its certificate of formation in a form satisfactory to Colombier and GrabAGun, (ix) upon the Closing, the gross cash and cash equivalents delivered to Pubco in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement after payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to holders of equity interests in GrabAGun and including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of the Redemption and payment of Colombier Transaction Expenses, but excluding the payment of GrabAGun Transaction Expenses) and including the aggregate amount of any transaction financing, will equal or exceed $30.0 million; and (x) shares of Pubco Common Stock and Pubco Public Warrants will have been approved for listing on NYSE upon the Closing. See “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Conditions to Closing” below for a more complete summary. Colombier and GrabAGun cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not occur, or may be delayed and such delay may cause Colombier and GrabAGun to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination. If the Business Combination does not occur, Colombier may not be able to find another potential candidate for its initial business combination prior to Colombier’s deadline (currently February 24, 2026, or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), and Colombier will be required to liquidate.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with such rules may increase Colombier’s costs and the time needed to complete the Business Combination and may constrain the circumstances under which Colombier could complete a business combination.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the “SPAC Rules”) relating, among other items, to disclosures in business combination transactions between special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) such as Colombier and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; and the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions. These SPAC Rules may increase the costs of, and the time needed to negotiate and complete, an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which Colombier could complete an initial business combination.

If Colombier is deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, Colombier would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless Colombier is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, Colombier may abandon its efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate.

There is currently some uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like Colombier. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that Colombier has been operating as an unregistered investment company.

If Colombier is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, its activities would be severely restricted. In addition, Colombier would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. Colombier does not believe that its principal activities will subject it to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if Colombier is deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, Colombier would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which it has not allotted funds. As a result, unless Colombier is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, Colombier may abandon its efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate. Were Colombier to liquidate, Colombier’s warrants and rights would expire worthless, and its securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including potential price appreciation of Colombier’s securities.

To mitigate the risk that Colombier might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, Colombier may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or Colombier’s liquidation. As a result, Colombier may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest Colombier would have received pursuant to Colombier’s original Trust Account investments, which could reduce the dollar amount Colombier’s public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or Colombier’s liquidation.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since the IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of Colombier being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, Colombier may, at any time, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the liquidation of Colombier. Colombier intends to take such steps in the event that the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun is not consummated or, in the event that Colombier, in its sole discretion, determines there to be a reasonable likelihood of a material delay to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun. However, the risks described herein exist even if no such material delay occurs or is determined to be reasonably likely to occur. Following such liquidation, Colombier may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest Colombier would have received pursuant to its original Trust Account investments. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to Colombier to pay its taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account could reduce the dollar amount the Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or Colombier’s liquidation.

The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that Colombier may be deemed to be an unregistered investment company, in which case Colombier may be required to liquidate. Accordingly, Colombier may determine, in its discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account, which could further reduce the dollar amount the Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or Colombier’s liquidation, and Colombier expects to proceed with such steps in the event that that proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun is not consummated or in the event that Colombier, in its sole discretion, determines there to be a reasonable likelihood of a material delay to the

consummation of the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun. Were Colombier to liquidate, Colombier’s warrants would expire worthless, and Colombier’s securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of Colombier’s securities.

Texas law and Pubco’s certificate of formation and bylaws will contain certain provisions, including structural defenses, that limit the ability of shareholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage certain transactions that shareholders may consider favorable.

The Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, and the TBOC, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing certain transactions deemed undesirable by the Pubco Board and therefore depress the trading price of Pubco’s common stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for shareholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of GrabAGun or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in the management of Pubco. Among other things, the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws include provisions regarding or pursuant to which:

        the ability of the Pubco Board to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting powers and other rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer and may include super voting, special approval, dividend or other rights or preferences superior to the rights of Pubco’s Common Stock;

        the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, Pubco’s directors and officers;

        the ability of the Pubco Board to determine the number of directors;

        all vacancies of the Pubco Board, including up to two newly created directorships during the period between any two successive annual meetings of shareholders, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, which prevents shareholders from being able to fill vacancies and newly created directorships on the Pubco Board (unless, pursuant to the TBOC, a special meeting of the shareholders is called to fill such directorships or vacancies, or if the Pubco Board elects to wait until the next annual meeting of the shareholders to fill such directorships or vacancies);

        shareholders representing ownership of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Pubco entitled to vote is required to call a special meeting of shareholders, otherwise a special meeting of shareholders may be called only by the Pubco Board, the chairperson of the Pubco Board, Pubco’s chief executive officer or Pubco’s president, which could limit or delay the ability of shareholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

        provisions providing that directors of Pubco may only be removed for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Pubco entitled to vote thereon;

        provisions that, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, prohibit shareholders of Pubco from taking any action by consent in lieu of a meeting of shareholders unless such action is by unanimous written consent;

        controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings;

        the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend, alter, change or repeal (i) certain provisions of the Proposed Charter or (ii) certain provisions of the Proposed Bylaws, which could preclude shareholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of shareholders and delay changes in the Pubco Board and governance and also may inhibit the effectuation of amendments meant to facilitate certain transactions by an acquiror or otherwise that the Pubco Board deems undesirable;

        the ability of the Pubco Board to unilaterally amend the bylaws, which may allow the Pubco Board to take additional actions to prevent certain transactions that the Pubco Board deems undesirable; and

41

Table of Contents

        advance notice procedures with which shareholders must comply to nominate candidates to the Pubco Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a shareholders’ meeting, which could preclude shareholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of shareholders and delay changes in the Pubco Board and also may discourage or deter a solicitation of proxies to elect a slate of directors favorable to certain transactions or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Pubco.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent certain transactions and changes in control or changes in the Pubco Board or management.

Any provision of the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws or Texas law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control could limit the opportunity for shareholders to receive a premium for their shares of Pubco’s capital stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for Pubco’s common stock.

The Proposed Charter will designate a state or federal court located within the State of Texas as the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between Pubco and its shareholders, and also provide that the federal district courts will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, each of which could limit the ability of Pubco’s shareholders to choose the judicial forum for disputes with Pubco or its directors, officers, or employee or shareholders.

The Proposed Charter, which will become effective upon the Closing, will provide that, unless Pubco consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on its behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of its current or former directors, officers, or other employees to Pubco or its shareholders, including a claim alleging the aiding and abetting of such a breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Pubco or any current or former director, officer or other employee of Pubco arising pursuant to any provision of the TBOC, or the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws, (iv) any other action asserting a claim related to or involving Pubco that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (v) any action asserting an “internal entity claim” as that term is defined in the TBOC, will be the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Texas Federal Court”) or, if the Texas Federal Court lacks jurisdiction for such action, the Texas Business Court in the First Business Court Division (the “Texas Business Court”) of the State of Texas (or, if the Texas Business Court is not then accepting filings or determines that it lacks jurisdiction for such action, a Texas state district court of Dallas County, Texas). The Proposed Charter will also provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE TBOC AND APPLICABLE LAW, AS THE SAME EXISTS OR MAY HEREAFTER BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, EACH SHAREHOLDER, EACH OTHER PERSON WHO ACQUIRES AN INTEREST IN ANY STOCK OF PUBCO AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO IS BOUND BY THE PROPOSED CHARTER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY CONCERNING ANY “INTERNAL ENTITY CLAIM” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 2.115 OF THE TBOC. AS THE DATE OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, THE TBOC DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR SUCH WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IF THE TBOC IS AMENDED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PROPOSED CHARTER AND THE PROPOSED BYLAWS TO AUTHORIZE THE INCLUSION OF ADDITIONAL PERSONS OR CLAIMS UNDER SUCH IRREVOCABLE WAIVER, THEN THE IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY INTERNAL ENTITY CLAIM SHALL BE EXPANDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE TBOC, AS SO AMENDED. ANY PERSON OR ENTITY PURCHASING OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRING ANY INTEREST IN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF PUBCO WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE NOTICE OF, AND KNOWINGLY AND INFORMEDLY CONSENTED AND ACQUIESCED TO, SUCH WAIVER PROVISIONS.

Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and, accordingly, we cannot be certain that a court would enforce the federal district courts of the United States as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under U.S. federal securities laws, including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Table of Contents

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of Pubco’s shares of capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Pubco or its directors, officers, other employees or shareholders, or could result in increased costs for a stockholder to bring a claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near Texas, both of which may discourage such lawsuits against Pubco and its current or former directors, officers, employees and shareholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, Pubco may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect Pubco’s business and financial condition.

The Sponsor or Colombier’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares or the Public Warrants from Colombier Public Shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed initial business combination and reduce the public “float” of the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares.

The Sponsor or Colombier’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares or the Public Warrants or a combination thereof in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares or the Public Warrants in such transactions.

Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such a shareholder, although still the record holder of Colombier Ordinary Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or Colombier’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the initial business combination. Any such purchases of the Colombier securities may result in the completion of the initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares or the Public Warrants and the number of beneficial holders of Colombier’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of the Colombier securities on a national securities exchange.

Colombier shareholders who redeem their Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares may continue to hold any Public Warrants that they own, which will result in dilution to non-redeeming Colombier shareholders upon exercise of such Public Warrants.

Colombier shareholders who redeem their Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares may continue to hold any Public Warrants that they own at such time, which will result in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of such warrants. Assuming (a) all redeeming Colombier shareholders that acquired Colombier Units in the IPO continue to hold the Public Warrants that were included in such Colombier Units, and (b) maximum redemption of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares held by the redeeming Colombier shareholders, 5,666,667 Public Warrants would be retained by redeeming Colombier shareholders. As a result, the redeeming Colombier shareholders would hold Public Warrants with an aggregate market value of approximately $3.9 million, assuming a closing price of $0.7011 as reported by the NYSE on March 14, 2025, while non-redeeming Colombier shareholders would suffer dilution in their percentage ownership of Pubco upon exercise of the Public Warrants held by redeeming Colombier shareholders.

You may only be able to exercise your Pubco Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” under certain circumstances, and if you do so, you will receive fewer shares of Pubco Common Stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such Pubco Public Warrants for cash.

The Colombier Warrant Agreement provides that in the following circumstances holders of Warrants who seek to exercise their Warrants will not be permitted to do for cash and will, instead, be required to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act: (i) if the shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of the Colombier

43

Table of Contents

Warrant Agreement; if Pubco has so elected and the shares of Pubco 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 “covered securities” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act; and (iii) if Pubco has so elected and Pubco calls the Warrants for redemption. If you exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis, you would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the Warrants for that number of Pubco Common Stock to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Pubco Common Stock (as defined in the next sentence) over the exercise price of the Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Pubco Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would receive fewer shares of Pubco Common Stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such Warrants for cash.

Pubco may redeem your unexpired Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your Warrants worthless.

Pubco will have the ability to redeem all of the outstanding Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of the Pubco Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of shares of Pubco Common Stock and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the IPO) on each of 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period commencing once the Warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption. Pubco will not redeem the Warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Pubco Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by Pubco, Pubco may exercise its redemption right even if Pubco is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding Warrants could force you to (i) exercise your Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) sell your Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Warrants.

Pubco may amend the terms of the Warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of the Pubco Public Warrants with the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your Warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

The Public Warrants were issued in registered form under the Colombier Warrant Agreement, and the Private Warrants were purchased by the Sponsor pursuant to an exemption to registration, and are governed by the terms of the Colombier Warrant Agreement, with the exception that such Private Warrants are subject to restriction. The Colombier Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Warrants. Accordingly, Pubco may amend the terms of the Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Warrants approve of such amendment. Although Pubco’s ability to amend the terms of the Warrants with the consent of at least a majority of the then outstanding Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the Warrants, convert the Warrants into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant.

The Colombier Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York located in the County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of the Public Warrants, as applicable, which will limit the ability of Public Warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Pubco.

The Colombier Warrant Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against Pubco arising out of or relating in any way to the Pubco Warrant Agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York located in the County of New York or the

44

Table of Contents

United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, (ii) in each case Pubco irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. Pubco will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Colombier Warrant Agreement do not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any Warrants, as applicable, will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Colombier Warrant Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Colombier Warrant Agreement, as applicable, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York located in the County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of Warrants, as applicable, such holder will be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions, and (y) having service of process made upon such Warrant holder in any such action brought in such court to enforce the forum provisions by service upon such Warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such Warrant holder.

This choice-of-forum provision may limit a Warrant holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Pubco, which may discourage such lawsuits. Warrant holders who are unable to bring their claims in the judicial forum of their choosing may be required to incur additional costs in pursuit of actions which are subject to Pubco’s choice-of-forum provisions. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Colombier Warrant Agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, Pubco may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect Pubco’s business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of Pubco’s management and board of directors.

If Colombier requires Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such shareholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to if the Business Combination is not approved.

If Colombier requires Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption and such proposed business combination is not consummated, Colombier will promptly return such certificates to the applicable Public Shareholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until Colombier has returned their securities to them. The market price for Colombier’s shares may decline during this time and Public Shareholders may not be able to sell their securities when they wish to, even while other shareholders that did not seek conversion may be able to sell their securities.

Investors may not have sufficient time to comply with the delivery requirements associated with exercise of their redemption rights.

Pursuant to the Current Charter, Colombier is required to give a minimum of only five clear days’ notice (meaning 5 days’ notice, excluding the day when the notice is received or deemed to be received and the day for which it is given or which it is to take effect) for an extraordinary general meeting. As a result, if Colombier requires Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account to comply with specific delivery requirements for conversion, holders may not have sufficient time to receive the notice and deliver their shares for redemption. Accordingly, investors may not be able to exercise their redemption rights and may be forced to retain Colombier’s securities when they otherwise would not want to.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect Colombier’s business, including its ability to complete the Business Combination, and results of operations.

Colombier is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, Colombier is required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on Colombier’s business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on Colombier’s business, including its ability to complete the Business Combination, and results of operations.

The Business Combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations, which may impose conditions on or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination. Such conditions or limitations could also potentially make Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors or cause Colombier’s future investments to be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations.

Colombier’s Sponsor is Colombier Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Sponsor currently owns 4,250,000 shares of Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, initially purchased by the Sponsor in the private placement occurring prior to the IPO, and 5,000,000 Private Warrants, that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. Omeed Malik, Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of Colombier’s board of directors and a U.S. citizen, is the sole managing member of the Sponsor. Other members of the Sponsor include certain officers and directors of Colombier and other third party investors, who are all U.S. citizens. The Sponsor is not controlled by any non-U.S. persons on a look-through basis. To the best of Colombier’s knowledge, the Sponsor does not have substantial ties or substantial interests with any non-U.S. persons. The Sponsor is expected to own approximately 13.5% of Pubco following the Business Combination, assuming that the other conditions and assumptions incorporated in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” are also accurate as of the Closing Date.

Certain acquisitions or an initial business combination may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations. In the event that such regulatory approval or clearance is not obtained, or the review process is extended beyond the period of time that would permit an initial business combination to be consummated with us, Colombier may not be able to consummate an initial business combination with such target. In addition, regulatory considerations may decrease the pool of potential target companies Colombier may be willing or able to consider.

Among other things, the U.S. Federal Communications Act prohibits foreign individuals, governments, and corporations from owning more than a specified percentage of the capital stock of a broadcast, common carrier, or aeronautical radio station licensee. In addition, U.S. law currently restricts foreign ownership of U.S. airlines. In the United States, certain mergers that may affect competition may require certain filings and review by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, and investments or acquisitions that may affect national security are subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.

Outside the United States, laws or regulations may affect Colombier’s ability to consummate an initial business combination with potential target companies incorporated or having business operations in jurisdictions where national security considerations, involvement in regulated industries (including telecommunications), or in businesses where a country’s culture or heritage may be implicated.

U.S. and foreign regulators generally have the power to deny the ability of the parties to consummate a transaction or to condition approval of a transaction on specified terms and conditions, which may not be acceptable to Colombier or a target. In such event, Colombier may not be able to consummate a transaction with that potential target.

Colombier does not believe that the business combination with GrabAGun is subject to review by CFIUS. However, if Colombier does not complete the business combination with GrabAGun, the pool of other potential targets with whom Colombier could complete an initial business combination may be limited and Colombier may be adversely affected in competing with other special purpose acquisition companies that do not have similar ownership issues. Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because Colombier has only a limited time to complete its initial business combination, Colombier’s failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require Colombier to liquidate. If Colombier liquidates, Colombier’s public shareholders may only receive a pro rata amount of the funds in Colombier’s trust account, and Colombier’s warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in Pubco.

Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco Common Stock

An active market for Pubco’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Pubco’s securities.

The price of Pubco’s securities may vary significantly due to factors specific to Pubco, as well as to general market or economic conditions. Further, an active trading market for Pubco’s securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.

There can be no assurance that the shares of Pubco Common Stock that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on the NYSE following the Closing, or that Pubco after the Closing will be able to comply with the continued listing rules of the NYSE.

In connection with the Business Combination and as a condition to Colombier’s and GrabAGun’s obligations to complete the Business Combination, Pubco will be required to demonstrate compliance with the NYSE’s initial listing requirements. In addition to the listing requirements for Pubco’s common stock, the NYSE imposes listing standards on warrants. Colombier cannot assure you that Pubco will be able to meet those initial listing requirements, in which case neither party will be obligated to complete the Business Combination.

In order to continue the listing of its securities on the NYSE, Colombier prior to the Business Combination, and Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination, must maintain certain financial, share price and distribution levels. Generally, a listed company must maintain a minimum market capitalization (generally $50,000,000) and a minimum number of holders of its securities (currently 300 public holders). Even if Pubco’s common stock and warrants are approved for listing on the NYSE, Pubco may not meet the NYSE continued listing requirements following the Business Combination.

If the NYSE delists Pubco’s securities from trading on its exchange and Pubco is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, Pubco’s securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, Pubco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

        a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

        reduced liquidity for its securities;

        a determination that Pubco’s common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Pubco’s securities;

        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The continued eligibility for listing of Pubco’s securities may depend on, among other things, the number of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares that are redeemed.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because Colombier’s units, ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the NYSE, Colombier’s units, ordinary shares and warrants qualify as covered securities under the statute. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of Colombier’s securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While Colombier is not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if Colombier was no longer listed on the NYSE, Colombier’s securities would not qualify as covered securities under the statute and Colombier would be subject to regulation in each state in which Colombier offers its securities.

The market price of Pubco’s common stock may decline as a result of the Business Combination.

The market price of Pubco’s common stock may decline as a result of the Business Combination for a number of reasons, including if:

        investors react negatively to the prospects of Pubco’s business and the prospects of the Business Combination;

        the effect of the Business Combination on Pubco’s business and prospects is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or

        Pubco does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Business Combination as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts.

Pubco’s stock price may change significantly following the Business Combination and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

The trading price of Pubco Common Stock is likely to be volatile. The stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your shares of Pubco Common Stock at an attractive price due to a number of factors such as those listed in “— Risks Related to GrabAGun” and the following:

        results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

        results of operations that vary from those of Pubco’s competitors;

        changes in expectations as to Pubco’s future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors;

        declines in the market prices of stocks generally;

        strategic actions by Pubco or its competitors;

        announcements by Pubco or its competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;

        any significant change in Pubco’s management;

        changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in Pubco’s industry or markets;

        changes in business or regulatory conditions, including new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to Pubco’s business;

        future sales of Pubco Common Stock or other securities;

        investor perceptions of the investment opportunity associated with Pubco Common Stock relative to other investment alternatives;

        the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by Pubco or third parties, including Pubco’s filings with the SEC;

        litigation involving Pubco, Pubco’s industry, or both, or investigations by regulators into the Pubco Board, Pubco’s operations or those of Pubco’s competitors;

        guidance, if any, that Pubco provides to the public, any changes in this guidance or Pubco’s failure to meet this guidance;

        the development and sustainability of an active trading market for Pubco Common Stock;

        actions by institutional or activist shareholders;

        changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles; and

        other events or factors, including those resulting from pandemics, natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.

These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of Pubco Common Stock, regardless of Pubco’s actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of Pubco Common Stock is low.

In the past, following periods of market volatility, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If Pubco was involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from Pubco’s business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on Pubco Common Stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your Pubco Common Stock at a price greater than what you paid for it.

Pubco intends to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and there are no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of Pubco Common Stock will be at the sole discretion of the Pubco Board. The Pubco Board may take into account general and economic conditions, Pubco’s financial condition and results of operations, Pubco’s available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, implications of the payment of dividends by Pubco to its shareholders or by its subsidiaries to it and such other factors as the Pubco Board may deem relevant. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in Pubco Common Stock unless you sell your Pubco Common Stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

Pubco shareholders may experience dilution in the future.

The percentage of shares of Pubco Common Stock owned by current shareholders may be diluted in the future because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions or otherwise, including, without limitation, equity awards that Pubco may grant to its directors, officers and employees, or the exercise of Pubco warrants. Such issuances may have a dilutive effect on Pubco’s earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of Pubco Common Stock.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about Pubco’s business, if they change their recommendations regarding Pubco Common Stock or if Pubco’s operating results do not meet their expectations, Pubco Common Stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for Pubco Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about Pubco or its businesses. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of Pubco, the trading price for Pubco Common Stock could be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover Pubco downgrade its securities or publish unfavorable research about its businesses, or if Pubco’s operating results do not meet analyst expectations, the trading price of Pubco Common Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of Pubco or fail to publish reports on Pubco regularly, demand for Pubco Common Stock could decrease, which might cause Pubco Common Stock price and trading volume to decline.

Pubco will issue shares of Common Stock as consideration for the Business Combination, which will result in immediate dilution to Colombier shareholders, and may issue additional shares or other equity or equity-linked securities without approval of its shareholders, which would dilute existing ownership interests and may depress the market price of shares of Pubco Common Stock.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination (assuming, among other things, that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights in connection with the Closing and the other assumptions described under the section with the heading “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”), (i) the Public Shareholders are expected to own approximately 53.9% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, (ii) the Sponsor is expected to own approximately 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, (iii) the GrabAGun Members are expected to own approximately 31.7% of the shares of Pubco Common Stock, and (iv) the GrabAGun Consultant is expected to own approximately 0.9% of the shares of Pubco Common Stock.

These percentages assume, among other assumptions, that at, or in connection with, the Closing, (i) no Public Shareholders redeem Public Shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) there are no pre-Closing transfers, distributions or forfeitures of securities held by the Sponsor, but exclude the potential dilutive effect of Pubco warrants to be issued at Closing to former holders of Colombier Public Warrants and Colombier Private

49

Table of Contents

Warrants (and the shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants) and excluding, also, any post-Closing equity awards under the Incentive Plan. If actual facts are different from these assumptions, which they are likely to be, the percentage ownership retained by the Colombier shareholders and GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant in Pubco, and associated voting power, will be different.

Holders of Public Shares prior to Closing that elect to redeem their Public Shares may continue to hold any Public Warrants that they owned prior to redemption, the exercise of which would result in additional dilution to non-redeeming Colombier shareholders, and exercise of outstanding Private Warrants would also result in additional dilution to non-redeeming Colombier shareholders. Additionally, although no such transactions are currently anticipated, Colombier or Pubco may, prior to the Closing, offer or sell additional securities in connection with a PIPE or other financing transaction, the issuance of which would dilute ownership interests to Public Shareholders that do not redeem Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

Additionally, the terms of the Merger Agreement contemplate the adoption, effective at Closing, subject to approval by the Colombier shareholders at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, of the Incentive Plan, pursuant to which Pubco may make grants or issue equity or equity-linked securities after the Closing in accordance with the terms of such plan from reserves of shares Pubco Common Stock to be established for such purpose.

The potential issuance of shares, or the vesting and settlement or exercise of equity-linked securities issued or granted under the Incentive Plan would also result in additional dilution to non-redeeming Colombier shareholders. The dilutive effects of the exercise of Public Warrants and Private Warrants at various redemptions levels is illustrated in the table set forth below.

In addition to the foregoing potential sources of dilution to non-redeeming Public Shareholders, after the Closing, Pubco may require capital investment to support its business, and Pubco may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or convertible debt securities of equal or senior rank in the future without approval of the holders of Pubco stock in certain circumstances, all of which may result in additional dilution to non-redeeming Public Shareholders.

The percentage of the outstanding shares and voting power of Pubco Common Stock that will be owned by Public Shareholders after the Closing will vary based, among other things, on the number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and the issuance by Colombier or Pubco of additional equity or equity-based securities prior to, at or after the Closing. Certain dilutive effects on non-redeeming Colombier shareholders across various redemption scenarios are shown in the table set forth below, though, as described herein, there may be other sources of dilution that impact ownership and voting control of Public Shareholders after the Business Combination is consummated.

The following table illustrates varying beneficial ownership levels in Pubco immediately following the Business Combination, incorporating the assumptions described below and in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”, as well as possible sources and extents of dilution for non-redeeming Public Shareholders, assuming no redemptions by Public Shareholders, 25% redemption by Public Shareholders, 50% redemption by Public Shareholders, and the Contractual Maximum Redemptions Scenario assumptions with regard to redemptions by Public Shareholders, as further described below:

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above reflect different redemption scenarios as set forth below.

        Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. As the Sponsor waived its redemption rights with regard to Sponsor Shares, only redemptions by Public Shareholders are considered for purposes of this presentation.

        Assuming 25% of Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes that the Public Shareholders holding approximately 13.2% of the Public Shares exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, which is approximately 25% of the Public Shares assumed to be redeemed under the contractual maximum redemption scenario. This scenario assumes that 2,237,793 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate Redemption Payment of approximately $23.4 million.

        Assuming 50% of Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation incorporates all of the assumptions in the “Contractual Maximum Redemptions Scenario” described below and assumes that the Public Shareholders holding approximately 26.3% of the Public Shares exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, which is approximately 50% of the Public Shares assumed to be redeemed under the contractual maximum redemption scenario. This scenario assumes that 4,475,586 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate Redemption Payment of approximately $46.8 million.

        Assuming Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions described in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes there are no redemptions of Public Shares prior to the Business Combination’s consummation and that 8,951,173 Public Shares are redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination for aggregate Redemption Payments of $93.5 million, assuming a redemption price of $10.45 per share (based on $177.6 million contained in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024), which represents the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Closing while still enabling the parties to satisfy the condition contained in the Merger Agreement, which is waivable by Colombier and GrabAGun, that, at the Closing, after (i) giving effect to the completion and payment of Redemptions and payment of Colombier Transaction Expenses and (ii) payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to GrabAGun Members required under the terms of the Merger Agreement, gross cash or cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at the Closing will equal or exceed $30 million. The “contractual maximum redemption scenario” represents the maximum number of Public Shares that may be redeemed while satisfying the Minimum Cash Condition, taking into account the assumptions described above. In the event that aggregate cash and cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at Closing is insufficient to meet the Minimum Cash Condition set forth in the Merger Agreement, a condition to the Closing would not be met and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

Table of Contents

The foregoing table does not reflect the impact of any other equity issuances on the beneficial ownership levels of Pubco, such as:

        grants of equity under the Incentive Plan or any other Pubco equity incentive plans that may be made in the future; or

        any private investment in public equity or any other dilutive financing sources, as none of Colombier, GrabAGun or Pubco has any commitments any such financing transaction commitments as this time, in connection with the Business Combination or otherwise and does not currently anticipate having any such transactions or commitments prior to the Closing.

The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or convertible debt securities by Colombier prior to the Closing or Pubco after the Closing would have the following effects: (i) Colombier’s existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in Pubco may decrease relative to such holders’ ownership percentage if no such dilutive issuances occur; (ii) the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease; (iii) the relative voting power of shares of Pubco Common Stock held by non-redeeming Public Shareholders may be diminished; (iv) the market price of shares of Pubco Common Stock may decline; and (v) as a result of having a minority (or diminished) ownership and voting position, Public Shareholders’ ability to influence management of Pubco may be reduced relative to Public Shareholders’ influence over Colombier management currently.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by Pubco or its shareholders in the public market following the Business Combination could cause the market price for Pubco Common Stock to decline.

The sale of shares of Pubco Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of Pubco Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for Pubco to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, it is currently expected that Pubco will have a total of 31,550,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock outstanding (i) assuming that there are no redemptions of any shares by Colombier’s public shareholders in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) without giving effect to any awards that may be issued under the Incentive Plan. All shares currently held by Colombier Public Shareholders and all of the shares issued in the Business Combination to GrabAGun Members will be freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act, and without restriction by persons other than Pubco’s “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (“Rule 144”)), including Pubco’s directors, executive officers and other affiliates.

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the members of GrabAGun, who are expected to collectively own approximately 31.7% of the shares of Pubco Common Stock outstanding following the Business Combination (based on the above assumptions and holdings of GrabAGun Interests), agreed with Colombier pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their shares of Pubco Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Pubco Common Stock during the period from the date of the Closing and ending six months after such date. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Related Agreements — Lock-Up Agreements.

In addition, the shares of Pubco Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Incentive Plan will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to any applicable vesting requirements, lock-up agreements and other restrictions imposed by law. A total number of shares representing 12% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination are expected to be reserved for future issuance under the Incentive Plan. Pubco is expected to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of Pubco Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Pubco Common Stock issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.

In the future, Pubco may also issue its securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of Pubco Common Stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to Pubco shareholders.

Colombier currently is, and Pubco will be, an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if Pubco takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies, this could make Colombier’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare Colombier’s performance with other public companies.

Colombier is currently and, following the consummation of the Merger, Pubco will be, an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. Pubco may continue to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, Pubco shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. Colombier cannot predict whether investors will find securities issued by Pubco less attractive because Pubco will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find those securities less attractive as a result of its reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of Pubco’s securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for Pubco’s securities and the trading prices of Pubco’s securities may be more volatile.

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. Colombier 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, Pubco, 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 Pubco’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Pubco will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of its first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which Pubco has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion; (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which Pubco is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the worldwide market value of Pubco Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year; or (iv) the date on which Pubco has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Pubco may redeem unexpired Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous for warrant holders.

Pubco will have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of Pubco Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of Pubco Common Stock and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial business combination) on each of 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date Pubco sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by Pubco, Pubco may exercise its redemption right if there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Pubco Common Stock underlying such warrants. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force you to: (i) exercise your warrants and pay the related exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so; (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (iii) accept the nominal redemption

price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants. None of the Private Warrants will be redeemable by Pubco for cash so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

In the event Pubco determines to redeem the Public Warrants, holders of redeemable warrants would be notified of such redemption as described in our warrant agreement. Specifically, in the event that Pubco elects to redeem all of the redeemable warrants as described above, Pubco will fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by Pubco not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holders of the redeemable warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner provided in the warrant agreement will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption via Pubco’s posting of the redemption notice to DTC. The closing price for the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares as of March 14, 2025 was $10.58 and has never exceeded the $18.00 threshold that would trigger the right to redeem the Public Warrants following the Closing.

Risks Related to the Redemption

There is no guarantee that a Colombier public shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its Colombier Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such shareholder in a better future economic position.

Colombier cannot assure you as to the price at which a public shareholder may be able to sell the shares of Pubco Common Stock in the future following the completion of the Business Combination. Certain events following the consummation of any business combination, including the Merger, may cause an increase in Pubco share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a Colombier shareholder might realize in the future had the shareholder not elected to redeem such shareholder’s Public Shares. Similarly, if a Public Shareholder does not redeem such shareholder’s shares, such shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of Pubco Common Stock after the consummation of the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell such shareholder’s shares of Pubco Common Stock in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A Public Shareholder should consult such shareholder’s own tax or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.

If Public Shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

Colombier intends to comply with the U.S. federal proxy rules in conducting redemptions in connection with the Business Combination. However, despite Colombier’s compliance with these rules, if a Colombier shareholder fails to receive Colombier’s proxy materials, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its Colombier Ordinary Shares. In addition, this proxy statement/prospectus provides the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly tender or redeem Public Shares. In the event that a Public Shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures, its Public Shares may not be redeemed.

In order to exercise their redemption rights, public shareholders are required to deliver their Public Shares, either physically or electronically using Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company’s DWAC System, to Colombier’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. If a public shareholder properly seeks redemption as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination is consummated, Colombier will redeem these Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and the public shareholder will no longer own such Public Shares following the Merger. See the section entitled “Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If you or a “group” of Colombier shareholders of which you are a part is deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, or all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such Public Shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.

A public shareholder, together with any of such shareholder’s affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate such shareholder’s Public Shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s Public Shares,

54

Table of Contents

in excess of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of Colombier. However, Colombier shareholders’ ability to vote all of their Public Shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination Proposal is not restricted by this limitation on redemptions. Your inability to redeem any such excess Public Shares could result in you suffering a material loss on your investment in Colombier if you sell such excess Public Shares in open market transactions. Colombier cannot assure you that the value of such excess Public Shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the Public Shares will exceed the per share redemption price.

Business and Operational Risks

Our business depends on our vendor partner relationships, the availability of their products and the terms of the agreements governing those relationships, and if we lose those relationships, our product offerings would be limited and less desirable to our customers.

All of the firearms, ammunition and related accessories offered on our eCommerce platform are supplied by wholesale distributors and original manufacturers (referred to as our “vendor partners”). Although we have long-established relationships with many of our vendor partners, we generally do not maintain long-term contracts with them, as is typical in the markets in which we compete, although we may do so from time to time. Instead, purchases from our vendor partners are generally made by means of standard purchase orders that specify only prices and quantities for the products purchased and payment terms, with no additional material terms or conditions. As of April 29, 2025, GrabAGun does not have any “material contracts” (as defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K) with any firearms manufacturers or distributors. A reduction in vendor partner programs or our failure to timely react to changes in vendor partner programs could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, a reduction in the amount or a change in the terms of credit granted to us by our vendor partners could increase our need for, and the cost of, working capital and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

From time to time, vendor partners may terminate or limit our ability to sell some or all of their products or change the terms and conditions that apply to our purchases of their products. For example, there is no assurance that, as our vendor partners continue to sell directly to end users and through distributors and resellers, they will not limit or curtail the availability of their products to eCommerce retailers like us. Any such termination or limitation or the implementation of such changes could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

We purchase the firearms and ammunition products offered on our website directly from both wholesale distributors and original manufacturers. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we purchased approximately 97% of the products we sold from wholesale distributors and the remaining 3% directly from firearms manufacturers, measured by product cost. Although we purchase from a diverse vendor base, in 2024, the products we purchased from wholesale distributors Sports South, LLC, Big Rock Sports, LLC and Bill Hicks & Co, Ltd. (our three largest wholesale distributor partners during calendar year 2024 by product cost), represented approximately 26%, 13% and 10%, respectively, of total purchases during 2024 by product cost. In addition, sales of products manufactured by Smith & Wesson Brands, Sturm, Ruger & Co., Sig Sauer and Glock, whether purchased directly from these manufacturers or from a wholesale distributor, represented approximately 8%, 8%, 5% and 3%, respectively, of our 2024 sales. The loss of, or change in business relationships with, any of these or any other key vendor partners, or the diminished availability of their products, including due to backlogs for their products, could reduce the supply and impact the cost of products we sell and negatively impact our competitive position.

Further, the sale, spin-off or combination of any of our key vendor partners and/or certain of their business units, including any such sale to or combination with a vendor with whom we do not currently have a commercial relationship or whose products we do not sell, or our inability to develop relationships with new and emerging vendors and vendors that we have not historically represented in the marketplace, could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

55

Table of Contents

Our sales are dependent on continued innovations in the firearms and ammunition offerings by our vendor partners, the competitiveness of their offerings and our ability to partner with new and emerging firearms and ammunition makers.

The firearms and ammunition industry is characterized by rapid innovation and the frequent introduction of new and enhanced firearm, ammunition and related accessories, as well as non-firearms products that appeal to outdoor enthusiasts. We have been and will continue to be dependent on innovations in these products, as well as the acceptance of those innovations by customers. Also, customers may delay spending while they evaluate new firearms-related products. A decrease in the rate of innovation, a lack of acceptance of innovations by our customers or delays in spending by our customers could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, if we are unable to anticipate and expand our capabilities to keep pace with changes in new firearms, ammunition and related accessories, for example by providing the appropriate training to our sales personnel to enable them to effectively sell and deliver such new offerings to customers, our business, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to offer firearms products from certain vendors that sell exclusively through authorized dealers. We may also be limited from selling certain vendors’ products to the extent our vendor partners do not carry their products or are restricted from selling their products to us because the vendors’ policies do not permit sales of their products to eCommerce retailers like us. Because of this, we are dependent upon our vendor partners for the development and marketing of firearms, ammunition and related accessories to compete effectively with the firearms, ammunition and related accessories of vendors whose products we do not currently offer or that we are unable to offer on our eCommerce platform. To the extent that a vendor’s offering that is in high demand is not available to us for resale on our platform, and there is not a competitive offering from another vendor that is available to us, or if we are unable to develop relationships with new vendors that we have not historically worked with, our business, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely impacted.

We sell products that create exposure to potential product liability, warranty liability or personal injury claims and litigation.

The products sold on our eCommerce platform are used in activities and situations that may involve risk of personal injury and death. Any improper or illegal use by customers of firearms or ammunition sold on our eCommerce platform could potentially expose us to product liability, warranty liability and personal injury claims and litigation relating to the use or misuse of products sold on our website, including allegations of a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product or activities associated with the product, negligence and strict liability. If successful, any such claims could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition. Defects in products sold on our platform may also result in a loss of sales, recall expenses, delay in market acceptance and damage to our reputation and increased warranty costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Although we maintain product liability insurance in amounts that we believe are reasonable, we may not be able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future and product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or may not be covered by our insurance policies. In addition, our reputation may be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, including potential negative publicity about our products.

We may also incur losses due to lawsuits, including potential class action suits, relating to our policies on the sale of firearms and ammunition, our performance of background checks on firearms and ammunition purchases and compliance with other sales laws and regulations as mandated by state and federal laws, including lawsuits by municipalities or other organizations attempting to recover costs from retailers of firearms and ammunition.

Gun violence prevention and legislative advocacy organizations that oppose sales of firearms and ammunition could inhibit sales of our products.

Gun violence prevention and legislative advocacy organizations have in the past opposed sales of assault-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition by pressing for legislation in these areas and by engaging in public demonstrations and media campaigns. There can be no assurance that such organizations will not target us and the sale of our products, which could possibly require us to significantly change or discontinue a particular product line. In addition, certain major retailers, such as Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart, are no longer selling firearms and ammunition in any of their stores, and Amazon has prohibited the sale of firearms and ammunition on its site, reflecting how the pressure on retailers by these gun control organizations has impacted the industry.

Substantial competition could reduce our market share and significantly harm our financial performance.

We compete with many retail formats, including traditional brick and mortar sporting goods and specialty gun stores, pawn shops and gun shows, and other online retailers, who sell directly to customers. We expect the competitive landscape to continue to evolve as new firearm and ammunition products and business models emerge. Our continued competitiveness depends upon our ability to anticipate and evolve at pace and scale with new firearms and ammunition products and technologies through strategic and timely investments in innovation, expansion of offerings and the capabilities necessary to implement them.

While innovation can help our business as it creates new offerings for us to sell, it can also disrupt our business model and create new and stronger competitors. For instance, some of our firearms and ammunition vendor partners sell, and could intensify their efforts to sell, their products online directly to our customers. Moreover, traditional firearms and ammunition manufacturers have increased their omni-channel capabilities through mergers and acquisitions with retailers, which could potentially increase competition in the market to provide products to customers. If we are unable to effectively respond to the evolving competitive landscape or respond in a manner that is less effective than that of our competitors, our business, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely impacted.

We focus on providing high quality customer service to gain new customers and retain existing customers. To the extent we face increased competition to gain and retain customers, we may be required to reduce prices, increase advertising expenditures or take other actions which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, some of our competitors may reduce their prices in an attempt to stimulate sales, which may require us to reduce prices. This would require us to sell a greater number of products to achieve the same level of net sales and gross profit. If such a reduction in prices occurs and we are unable to attract new customers and sell increased quantities of products, our sales growth and profitability could be adversely affected.

If we are unable to maintain and expand our network of Federal Firearms License (“FFL”) holders, whether as a result of competition or other factors, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

Our business model relies on a network of FFL holders to facilitate the final transfer of firearms to our customers, and the breadth and reliability of this network is a critical component of our value proposition. From time to time, FFL holders have requested removal from our network, including instances where the FFL holder perceives our business to be competitive with theirs or finds our pricing strategies to be overly aggressive. While removals to date have not had a material adverse effect given the large number of FFLs nationally, a significant reduction in the number of participating FFL holders, whether due to dissatisfaction with our pricing model, increased competition, or other factors, could materially disrupt our operations, diminish the convenience and geographic reach of our platform, and adversely impact our revenue.

We also face competitive risks from other eCommerce firearm retailers with their own FFL networks. We do not currently pay fees or other incentives to FFL holders. Should a competing platform offer incentives to FFL holders, we could be forced to offer similar incentives, thereby increasing our costs, or risk losing FFL participation, either of which could adversely affect our business.

GrabAGun’s growth to date may not be sustainable or indicative of future performance.

Our growth has placed and is expected to continue to place significant demands on our management, financial, operational, technological and other resources. The growth and expansion of our business depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

        increase awareness of our brand and successfully compete with other companies that compete against us;

        continue to innovate and introduce new product offerings;

        maintain and improve our website;

        identify and maintain key manufacturer and wholesale distributor relationships; and

        expand the number of consumers using our website.

57

Table of Contents

The growth and expansion of our business will place significant demands on our management, technology and operations teams and require significant additional resources, financial and otherwise, to meet our needs, which may not be available in a cost-effective manner, or at all. We expect to expend substantial resources on:

        sales and marketing efforts;

        development and/or acquisition, distribution, marketing and sales efforts;

        website maintenance; and

        general administration, including increased finance, legal, compliance and accounting expenses associated with being a public company.

Our investments may not result in the growth of our business. Even if these investments do result in the growth of our business, if we do not effectively manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully execute on our business plan, respond to competitive pressures, take advantage of market opportunities, satisfy the expectations of consumers or maintain high-quality product offerings, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. You should not rely on our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance or the rate of growth we may experience going forward or with respect to any new products we may introduce.

In addition, to support continued growth, we must effectively integrate, develop and motivate existing and new employees while maintaining our corporate culture. We face significant competition for personnel. To attract top talent, we will need to offer competitive compensation and benefits packages. We may also need to increase our employee compensation levels to remain competitive in attracting and retaining talented employees. In addition, we may face challenges in attracting employees whose values align with our own. The risks associated with a rapidly growing workforce may be particularly acute as we expand into new markets. Additionally, we may not be able to hire new employees quickly enough to meet our needs. If we fail to effectively manage our hiring needs or successfully integrate new hires, our efficiency, ability to meet forecasts and employee morale, productivity and retention could suffer, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We will also be required to manage numerous relationships with various businesses, suppliers and vendors, service providers and other third parties. Further growth of our operations, information technology systems or internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to support our operations. If we are unable to manage the growth of our organization effectively, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected.

We are exposed to inventory risks, which could result in our products becoming obsolete or no longer in demand.

We are exposed to inventory risks as a result of evolving customer tastes, rapid industry standards and other changes that affect the market and pricing for the products we sell. In addition to drop-ship arrangements with many of our manufacturers and wholesale distributors, we seek to minimize our inventory exposure through a variety of inventory management procedures and policies, as well as vendor price protection and product return programs. However, if we were unable to maintain our inventory management model, if there were unforeseen product developments that created more rapid obsolescence or if our vendor partners were to change their terms and conditions, our inventory risks could increase. We also from time to time take advantage of cost savings associated with certain opportunistic bulk inventory purchases offered by our vendor partners or we may decide to carry high inventory levels of certain products that have limited or no return privileges due to customer demand or request or to manage supply chain interruptions. If we purchase inventory in anticipation of customer demand that does not materialize, or if customers reduce, delay or decommit from orders, and if we were unable to return the inventory to a vendor partner, we would be exposed to an increased risk of inventory obsolescence.

We may in the future make selective acquisitions and such acquisitions could disrupt our operations and may have an adverse effect on our financial results.

We may in the future pursue transactions, including selective strategic acquisitions, in an effort to extend or complement our existing business. These types of transactions involve numerous business risks, including finding suitable transaction partners and negotiating terms that are acceptable to us, the diversion of management’s attention from other business priorities, extending our product offerings into areas in which we have limited experience, entering into new geographic markets, an acquisition target’s differing or inadequate cybersecurity and data protection controls, the potential loss of key employees or business relationships and successfully integrating acquired businesses. There can be no assurance that the intended benefits of our acquisitions will be realized, or that those benefits will offset these numerous risks or other unforeseen factors, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, our financial results could be adversely affected by financial adjustments required by US GAAP in connection with these types of transactions where significant goodwill or intangible assets are recorded. To the extent the value of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets becomes impaired, we may be required to incur material charges relating to the impairment of those assets.

The success of our business depends on the continuing development, maintenance and operation of our information technology systems.

Our success is dependent on the accuracy, proper utilization and continuing operation, maintenance and development of our information technology systems, including our business systems, such as our sales, customer management, financial and accounting, marketing, purchasing, warehouse management, eCommerce and mobile systems, as well as our operational platform, including voice and data networks and power systems. The quality and our utilization of the information generated by our information technology systems, and our success in implementing new systems and upgrades, could adversely affect, among other things, our ability to:

        conduct business with our customers, including delivering products to them;

        effectuate comprehensive and reliable data collection, maintenance and governance;

        manage our inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable;

        support planned growth in our product offerings and continued evolution of the business;

        purchase, sell, ship and invoice our firearms and ammunition products efficiently and on a timely basis; and

        maintain our cost-efficient operating model while scaling our business.

Our information technology systems are inherently exposed to varied technological threats beyond our control. While we have taken steps to protect our information technology systems from a variety of threats, both internal and external, and from human error, there can be no guarantee that those steps will be effective. Further, although we have redundant systems at a separate location to back up our primary systems, there can be no assurance that these redundant systems will operate properly if and when required. Moreover, software vulnerabilities within the third-party information technology systems we use are discovered and reported on nearly a daily basis. When made public or otherwise known to us, we attempt to remediate or mitigate these vulnerabilities following guidance provided by the software vendor, and/or appropriate authorities, and before the vulnerability is successfully used in a cyberattack against our systems. If and when cyberattacks target and successfully exploit these vulnerabilities, we take steps designed to contain and limit the impact on our business. Any disruption to or infiltration of our information technology systems could significantly harm our reputation, business and results of operations due to failure to comply with customer, partner, legal or regulatory obligations.

We maintain and periodically upgrade many of our information technology systems, some of which are complex, costly and time-consuming. If our information technology systems are not properly maintained or enhanced, the attention of our coworkers could be diverted and our ability to provide the level of service our customers demand could be constrained for some time. Further, new information technology systems and updates to existing information technology systems may not properly integrate with other information technology systems. Also, once implemented, the new information technology systems, updates to existing information technology systems and related technology may not provide the intended efficiencies or anticipated benefits, or could be defective or improperly installed, and could add costs, complications and disruptions to our ongoing operations.

As part of our growth strategy, we may acquire new companies, businesses or eCommerce sites with cybersecurity and data protection systems. These systems may not conform with our standards. It may require significant time and expense to upgrade and integrate such systems and controls, and if we are unable to do so in a timely manner, or at all, failures or breaches of such systems could harm our reputation, business and results of operations due to failure to comply with customer, partner, legal or regulatory obligations.

Breaches of data security and the failure to protect our information technology systems from cybersecurity threats could adversely impact our business.

Our business involves the storage and transmission of proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data, including personal information of employees, customers, partners and others, which we must do in compliance with applicable law. In connection with our business, some of our employees have access to our customers’ confidential data and other information. Additionally, third parties, such as data center colocation and hosted solution partners, provide services to us and also provide services as a component of our delivery of products to customers. These third parties or others that are a part of our supply chain could also be a source of security risk in the event of a failure to protect their own products, security systems and infrastructure and we may not be able to control the manner in which these third parties respond to any security breach. We have privacy and data security policies, practices and controls in place that are designed to prevent security breaches; however, as newer technologies evolve, as more business is conducted over the internet and remotely, as we acquire business operations from targets with differing or inadequate cybersecurity and data protection controls and as the third parties we exchange confidential information with expands, we are increasingly likely to be exposed to risks from breaches in security, including those arising from human error, negligence or mismanagement or from illegal or fraudulent acts, such as cyberattacks.

We, and some third parties upon which we rely, regularly experience malicious attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems, and attacks against us by state-sponsored organizations and nation-states may increase during periods of intense diplomatic or armed conflicts. Further, security breaches may go undetected and persist in our environments for extended periods. Although we have not experienced a material security breach to date, the evolving and escalating nature of cybersecurity threats, in light of new and sophisticated methods used by criminals and cyberterrorists, state-sponsored organizations and nation-states, including computer viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing, misrepresentation, social engineering and forgery, make it increasingly challenging to anticipate, detect and defend against these threats. We and our third-party partners have implemented various security controls to meet compliance and privacy requirements while defending against these evolving security threats. However, breaches in security could expose us, our supply chain, our customers or other individuals to significant disruptions and a risk of public disclosure, loss or misuse of confidential data.

Security breaches could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under laws protecting the privacy of personal information (including those under the California Privacy Rights Act), significant remediation costs as well as the loss of partners and existing or potential customers and, ultimately, damage to our brand and reputation and adversely impact our business. While we maintain insurance coverages that are intended to address certain aspects of data security, such insurance may be insufficient to cover all losses or all types of claims that may arise and may not continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms or at all. Moreover, media or other reports of perceived vulnerabilities in our network security or perceived lack of security within our environment, even if inaccurate, could materially adversely impact our reputation and business. The cost and operational consequences of implementing further data protection measures could also be material. Such breaches, costs and consequences could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Issues relating to the use or capabilities of artificial intelligence, including social and ethical issues, in our eCommerce platform or offerings may result in reputational harm and liability and increased costs.

Social and ethical issues relating to the use of new and evolving technologies such as AI in our eCommerce platform, which we use to sell firearms and ammunition, may result in reputational harm and liability. We currently utilize AI to enhance pricing and inventory management, product listings, marketing campaigns and customer service. We do not manufacture products but we sell firearms, ammunitions and related accessories manufactured by third parties some or all of which may, in the future, incorporate AI technologies to, among other things, assist with target identification, tracking and decision-making, and, as with many innovations, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect the operation, efficacy and safety of firearms products, their adoption, and therefore our business.

60

Table of Contents

We also depend on other third parties, such as vendors, distributors and dealers as part of the life cycle from purchase to delivery of our product offerings; these third parties too may currently or in the future incorporate AI technologies into aspects of their respective businesses. If we or the third-party manufacturers or other businesses with whom we partner use, enable or offer products or services that draw controversy due to the perceived or actual impact of the use of AI as part of or in connection with such products, offerings or businesses or on society generally, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability. Increased focus and potential government regulation in the space of AI ethics may also increase the burden and cost of research and product development in this area, subjecting us to brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability. Failure to address AI ethics issues by us or others in our industry could undermine public confidence in AI and slow adoption of AI in our products.

Additionally, the development, adoption and use for AI is still in its early stages, and ineffective or inadequate AI development or deployment practices by us or our manufacturer and vendor partners could result in unintended consequences. AI technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, and we face significant competition in the market and from other companies regarding such technologies.

Real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in GrabAGun’s website could materially and adversely affect its operating results and growth prospects.

The software underlying our website is highly technical and complex. Our software has previously contained, and may now or in the future contain, undetected errors, bugs or vulnerabilities. In addition, errors, failures and bugs may be contained in open source software utilized in building and operating our products or may result from errors in the deployment or configuration of open source software. Some errors in our software may only be discovered after the software has been deployed or may never be generally known. Any errors, bugs or vulnerabilities discovered in our software after it has been deployed, or never generally discovered, could result in interruptions in website availability, product malfunctioning or data breaches, and thereby result in damage to our reputation, adverse effects upon consumers, loss of consumers and relationships with third parties, including social media networks, loss of revenue or liability for damages. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these problems or risks within an acceptable period of time.

GrabAGun’s business depends on continued and unimpeded access to its website on the internet, which in turn relies on third-party telecommunications and internet service providers (“ISPs”). If GrabAGun or those who engage with its content experience disruptions in such internet service for any reason, such as the failure of ISPs to provide reliable services, or if ISPs are able to block, degrade or charge for access to GrabAGun’s website, it could incur additional expenses and the loss of traffic.

Products sold through our website depend on the ability of consumers to access our website via the internet. Currently, GrabAGun relies on services from third-party telecommunications providers in order to provide services to its customers. In addition, GrabAGun depends on its ISPs to provide uninterrupted and error-free service through their networks. GrabAGun exercises little control over these third-party providers, which increases its vulnerability to problems with the services they provide. Further, telecommunications and ISPs have significant market power in the broadband and internet access marketplace, including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies, mobile communications companies and government-owned service providers.

Moreover, when internet problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem and confirm whether it is due to the acts and omissions of our service providers or another cause. Service disruption or outages, whether caused by GrabAGun’s service, the products or services of GrabAGun’s third-party service providers, or customers’ equipment and systems, may result in loss of market acceptance of its website and any necessary repairs or other remedial actions may force it to incur significant costs and expenses.

Additionally, laws or regulations that adversely affect the growth, popularity or use of the internet, including changes to laws or regulations impacting internet neutrality, could decrease the demand for our products or offerings, increase our operating costs, require us to alter the manner in which we conduct our business and/or otherwise adversely affect our business. We could experience discriminatory or anti-competitive practices that could impede our growth, cause us to incur additional expense or otherwise negatively affect our business. For example, paid prioritization could enable ISPs to impose higher fees and otherwise adversely impact our business. Internationally, government regulation concerning the internet, and in particular, network neutrality, may be developing or may not exist at all. Within such an environment, without network neutrality regulations, we could experience discriminatory or anti-competitive practices that could impede both our growth, increase our costs or adversely affect our business.

Changes in tax rates, changes in tax treatment of companies engaged in e-commerce, or the adoption of new tax legislation may adversely impact GrabAGun’s financial results.

Due to shifting economic and political conditions in both the United States or elsewhere, tax policies, laws, or rates may be subject to significant changes in ways that impair GrabAGun’s financial results. Various jurisdictions have enacted or are considering digital services taxes, which could lead to inconsistent and potentially overlapping tax regimes. In the United States, the rules dealing with federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and the United States Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely impact us. In recent years, many such changes have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future. It cannot be predicted whether, when, in what form, or with what effective dates, new tax laws may be enacted, or regulations and rulings may be promulgated or issued under existing or new tax laws, which could result in an increase in our tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operates in order to minimize or mitigate any adverse effects of changes in tax law or in the interpretation thereof.

If we lose any of our executive officers or key personnel, are unable to attract and retain the talent required for our business, our labor costs significantly increase or our approach to workforce management is ineffective, our business could be disrupted, and our financial performance could suffer.

Our success is heavily dependent on our ability to attract, develop, engage and retain key personnel to manage and grow our business, including our key executive, management, sales and technical employees. Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the efforts of Marc Nemati, our Chief Executive Officer, as well as the continued service and support of our other executive officers, Matthew Vittitow, Chief Operating Officer, and Justin C. Hilty, Chief Financial Officer. Each of them has substantial knowledge regarding our online firearms and ammunition technology and business contacts that would be difficult to replace. The loss of the services of such individuals if they were to become unavailable to us could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

Our future success also will depend on our ability to retain and motivate our sales team employees, who have been given critical company knowledge regarding, and the opportunity to develop strong relationships with, many of our customers. In addition, as we seek to expand our offerings of firearms, ammunition and related accessories, our success will even more heavily depend on attracting and retaining highly skilled technical employees, for whom the market is extremely competitive.

In order to attract, retain and motivate key personnel in a competitive marketplace, it is important to provide a competitive compensation package. If our compensation package is not viewed as being competitive, our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel could be adversely affected. Additionally, as minimum wage rates increase or related laws and regulations change, we have and may need to continue to increase not only the wage rates of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to our other hourly or salaried employees.

A sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates within our employee base could lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand and increased wage rates to attract and retain employees, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, if we fail to effectively manage our workforce, we may need to terminate or reposition employees within our company to eliminate an abundance of or to reconfigure resources, which could damage our employee relations and our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

If we are unable to attract, develop, engage and retain key personnel, or if our approach to workforce management is ineffective, our relationships with our vendor partners and customers and our ability to expand our offerings of firearms, ammunition and related accessories could be adversely affected. Moreover, if we are unable to continue to train our sales, product and technical personnel effectively to meet the rapidly changing needs of our customers, the overall quality and efficiency of such personnel could decrease. Such consequences could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Negative publicity or media coverage about GrabAGun or persons or businesses associated with GrabAGun could adversely affect GrabAGun’s reputation and its business, results of operations and future growth prospects.

We may receive a high degree of media coverage in connection with the proposed Business Combination and after the Closing. Negative publicity or other changes in public perceptions about our company, including our firearms product offerings, mission and ideologies, sales practices, personnel or customer service, or regarding others who publicly support (or, conversely, object to) our business, could adversely affect the growth of our business, our reputation or demand for our products, and diminish confidence in and the use of firearms products sold through our website. Such negative publicity could also adversely affect our business and financial results. In addition, any negative publicity could adversely affect the willingness of our manufacturer and vendor partners, distributors, service providers and others to do business with us. Because of our industry and the growing use of social and digital media by consumers and third parties generally to disseminate and share information increases the speed and extent to which information, misinformation and opinions can be shared, negative publicity or other information affecting public perception of GrabAGun, its brands or products on social or digital or other media could adversely affect, potentially swiftly and materially, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

GrabAGun’s success depends in part on our ability to reach potential customers through channels other than traditional advertising methods, which we may do with the aid of certain highly influential individuals. We may also involve other persons in our outreach efforts, such as brand ambassadors, influencers, content creators and others, and we also expect to benefit, going forward, from strong earned media. Any adverse publicity relating to consultants, brand ambassadors, influencers, content-creators or other persons with whom we may partner for user outreach purposes, or the loss of their services, could adversely affect GrabAGun’s success.

We operate in a highly regulated industry and firearms retailers experience certain restrictions related to advertising and marketing that require us to reach prospective customers through other channels. To enhance our ability to reach potential customers and build valuable earned media, we employ a variety of outreach strategies, which includes partnering with influential individuals, including our consultant Donald J. Trump Jr. Going forward, we expect to expand our efforts to attract and retain new customers, including with the aid of consultants, brand ambassadors, social media influencers and others. Our success depends in part on the efficacy of the outreach strategies we employ or may pursue in the future and the extent to which these efforts result in overall improvements in earned media and increased awareness of our business. The reputation and popularity of our consultants, ambassadors, influencers or other persons that create or post shareable content about GrabAGun may impact significantly the extent to which we are able to build strong earned media and attract new users to our business. Our outreach strategies may be negatively impacted by a number of factors, including the reputation and popularity of our consultants, ambassadors or influencers and the content about GrabAGun that we or they create and post. Adverse publicity relating to a consultant, ambassador, influencer or content creator could adversely impact our revenues and results of operations as well as our ability to maintain positive earned media and attract and retain customers. Additionally, a decline in the number of influential individuals, ambassadors, influencers and content creators involved with GrabAGun, or in their popularity, could adversely impact our success. Our business may be harmed, in particular, if Donald J. Trump Jr. ceases to be involved with GrabAGun or to support our business and publicize our product offerings. We believe that maintaining and enhancing valuable earned media is important to GrabAGun’s business, financial condition and results of operations, particularly given our eCommerce focus. If we fail to maintain and enhance positive earned media and effective outreach programs, or if excessive expenses are incurred in an effort to do so, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

A natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at our warehouse and fulfillment facility or a third-party provider location could damage our business.

If the warehouse and fulfillment operations were to be seriously damaged or disrupted by a natural disaster, which may increase in number or severity as a result of climate change, or other adverse occurrence, including disruption related to political or social unrest, we could utilize another facility or third-party distributors to ship products to firearm and ammunition dealers and our customers. However, this may not be sufficient to avoid interruptions in our business and may not enable us to meet all of the needs of our customers and would cause us to incur incremental operating costs. In addition, we operate facilities which may contain both business-critical data

63

Table of Contents

and confidential information of our customers and third parties, such as data center colocation, managed services sites and hosted solution partners, and third parties provide services as a component of our delivery of products to customers. A natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at any of our major data storage locations, managed services sites or third-party provider locations could negatively impact our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Increases in the cost of commercial delivery services or disruptions of those services could materially adversely impact our business.

We generally ship firearms products to firearms and ammunition dealers (or, with respect to most accessories and other eligible products, to our customers), by FedEx, United Parcel Service and other commercial delivery services and invoice customers for delivery charges. If we are unable to pass on to our customers future increases in the cost of commercial delivery services (including those that may result from an increase in fuel or personnel costs or a need to use higher cost delivery channels during periods of increased demand), our profitability could be adversely affected. Additionally, strikes, inclement weather, natural disasters or other service interruptions by such shippers or periods of increased demand for delivery services could materially and adversely affect our ability to deliver or receive products on a timely basis.

GrabAGun’s ability to implement our business plan successfully depends in part on our ability to further build brand recognition using our trademarks, service marks, proprietary products, trade secrets and other intellectual property, including our name and logos.

We rely on U.S. trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as license agreements, nondisclosure agreements, and confidentiality and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property. The success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing trademarks, trade names, and service marks to increase brand awareness and further develop our brand as we expand into new markets. We have registered and applied to register trademarks and service marks in the United States. We may not be able to adequately protect our trademarks and service marks, and our competitors and others may successfully challenge the validity or enforceability of our trademarks and service marks and other intellectual property. There can also be no assurance that pending or future U.S. trademark applications will be approved in a timely manner or at all, or that such registrations will effectively protect our brand names and trademarks.

GrabAGun’s issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, the Incentive Plan, or otherwise, will dilute all other shareholders.

We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other shareholders. We expect to grant equity-based awards to our executive officers, employees, directors and consultants under the Incentive Plan. We may also raise capital through equity financing in the future. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire businesses or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause shareholders to experience significant dilution in their percentage of our company ownership and cause the per share value of our common stock to decline.

GrabAGun may require additional funding to finance its operations, but adequate additional financing may not be available when it needs it, on acceptable terms, or at all.

Since our inception, we have internally financed our operations and capital expenditures. In the future, we could be required to raise capital through public or private financing or other arrangements. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could harm our business. In addition, inflation rates in the United States have been higher than in previous years, which may result in higher costs of capital and constrained credit and liquidity. The Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to concerns over inflation risk. Increases in interest rates could impact our ability to access the capital markets. We may sell equity securities or debt securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as we may determine from time to time. If we sell any such securities in subsequent transactions, our current investors may be materially diluted. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and could reduce our operational flexibility or achieve profitability. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to grow our business or respond to competitive pressures and consumer demand.

64

Table of Contents

We may need to raise additional funds, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. For example, the amount of proceeds realized in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination is dependent on a number of factors, including the level of redemptions and any funds the combined company raises through any private placement investment or through any other financing. We may need to raise additional financing following the completion of the Business Combination, and such additional financing may be required more quickly than we anticipate and may not be available to us upon favorable terms, if at all.

Further, if we engage in debt financing, the holders of debt would have priority over the holders of our common stock, and we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. We may also be required to take other actions that would otherwise be in the interests of the debt holders and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:

        enhance our product offerings;

        expand our sales and marketing efforts;

        acquire businesses and technologies;

        hire, train and retain employees; or

        respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.

Our failure to have sufficient capital to do any of these things could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that following completion of the Business Combination we will not need to raise additional financing, and such additional financing may be required more quickly than we anticipate and any required additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

To the extent GrabAGun incurs indebtedness in the future, such indebtedness could adversely affect its financial condition, its ability to raise additional capital to fund its operations, its ability to operate its business, its ability to react to changes in the economy or its industry and its ability to pay its debts and could divert its cash flow from operations for debt payments.

In the future, we may have a material amount of indebtedness and leverage. Our level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on, or other amounts due with respect to our indebtedness. Our leverage and debt service obligations could adversely impact our business, including by:

        impairing our ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest or principal, including periodic principal payments;

        increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

        requiring the dedication of a portion of our cash flow from operations to service our debt, thereby reducing the amount of our cash flow available for other purposes, including capital expenditures, dividends to shareholders or to pursue future business opportunities;

        requiring us to sell debt or equity securities or to sell some of our core assets, possibly on unfavorable terms, to meet payment obligations;

        limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we compete; and

        placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with less leveraged competitors and competitors that may have better access to capital resources.

Any of the foregoing factors could have negative consequences on our financial condition and results of operations.

Seasonality and weather conditions may cause our operating results to vary from quarter to quarter.

Because many of our products are used for seasonal outdoor sporting activities, our operating results may be significantly impacted by unseasonable weather conditions. Accordingly, our operating results could suffer when weather patterns do not conform to seasonal norms.

Shipments of ammunition for hunting are highest during the months of June through September to meet consumer demand for the fall hunting season and holidays. The seasonality of our sales may change in the future. Seasonal variations in our operating results may reduce our cash on hand, increase our inventory levels and extend our accounts receivable collection periods. This in turn may cause us to increase our debt levels and interest expense to fund our working capital requirements.

Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly, which may result in volatility in the market price of our stock following this transaction and could impact on our ability to operate our business effectively.

We may experience significant variations in our future quarterly results of operations following this transaction. These fluctuations may cause the market price of our common stock to be volatile and may result from many factors, including the state of the firearms and ammunition industry in general, shifts in demand and pricing for firearms and ammunition, the introduction of new products or upgrades. Further, if our customers are adversely affected by national or regional economic conditions such as cost inflation or rising interest rates, they may delay or reduce purchases from us, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our operating results are also highly dependent on gross profit. Our gross profit fluctuates due to numerous factors, some of which may be outside of our control, including general macroeconomic conditions including inflation; pricing pressures; changes in product costs from our vendor partners and wholesale distributors; the availability of price protection, purchase discounts and incentive programs from our vendor partners and wholesale distributors; changes in product, order size and customer mix; the risk of some items in our inventory becoming obsolete; increases in product and delivery costs that we cannot pass on to customers; and general market and competitive conditions.

In addition, our cost structure is based, in part, on anticipated sales and gross margins. Therefore, we may not be able to adjust our cost structure quickly enough to compensate for any unexpected sales or gross margin shortfall, and any such inability could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Members of GrabAGun’s management team have limited or no prior experience of managing a public company.

The members of our senior management team have no experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors, and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a public company, which will subject us to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts, investors and regulators. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Macroeconomic and Industry Risks

National and regional economic, social and political conditions may have an adverse impact on our business.

Sales of firearms and ammunition are influenced by a variety of economic, social and political factors, which may result in volatile sales. Political events and controversies, trade and other international disputes, war, terrorism, natural disasters, public health issues, industrial accidents and other business interruptions can harm or disrupt national and regional commerce and the economy and could have a material adverse effect on our company and customers, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and other channel partners. Concerns about presidential, congressional, and state elections and legislature and policy shifts resulting from those elections can adversely affect the demand for our products. In addition, uncertainty surrounding the control of firearms, firearm products, and ammunition at the federal, state, and local level and heightened fears of terrorism and crime can adversely affect consumer demand for our products. Often, such concerns result in an increase in near-term consumer demand and subsequent softening of demand when such concerns subside.

Table of Contents

Weak or unstable economic conditions generally, inflation and actions taken to counter inflation, sustained uncertainty about global political conditions, periods of intense diplomatic or armed conflict, government spending cuts and the impact of new government policies (including the introduction of new or increased taxes, the imposition of minimum taxes or new or increased limitations on deductions, credits or other tax benefits), or a tightening of credit markets, including as a result of rising interest rates or bank failures, could cause our customers and prospective customers to postpone or reduce spending on firearms and ammunition or put downward pressure on prices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

The interruption of the flow of firearms and ammunition from suppliers could disrupt our supply chain.

Our business depends on the timely supply of firearms, ammunition and related accessories in order to meet the demands of our customers. Manufacturing interruptions or delays, including as a result of the financial instability or bankruptcy of manufacturers, significant labor disputes such as strikes, natural disasters (which may increase in number or severity as a result of climate change), political or social unrest, armed conflict, pandemics or other public health crises, or other adverse occurrences affecting any of our suppliers’ facilities could disrupt our supply chain. We have not experienced but could in the future experience product constraints due to the failure of suppliers to accurately forecast customer demand, or to manufacture sufficient quantities of products to meet customer demand, among other reasons. Additionally, the relocation of key distributors utilized in our purchasing model could increase our need for, and the cost of, working capital and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Supply chain disruptions could cause us to experience volatility in our level of inventory and delays in the completion of orders for our customers and could further exacerbate inflationary pressures. In the event that supply chain pressures ease, we may experience changes in average selling prices and our gross margins on certain products as customers become more price sensitive.

Our supply chain is also exposed to risks related to international operations. While we source our products in the United States, our vendor partners may manufacture or purchase a portion of the products we sell outside of the United States. Political, social or economic instability in regions in which our vendor partners purchase or manufacture the products we sell, could cause disruptions in trade, including exports to the United States. Other events related to international operations that could cause disruptions to our supply chain include:

        the imposition of additional trade law provisions or regulations, including the adoption or expansion of trade restrictions;

        the imposition of additional duties, tariffs and other charges on imports and exports, including any resulting retaliatory tariffs or charges and any reductions in the production of products subject to such tariffs and charges; and

        restrictions on the transfer of funds.

We cannot predict whether the countries in which the products we sell, or any components of those products, are purchased or manufactured will be subject to new or additional trade restrictions or sanctions imposed by the United States or foreign governments, including the likelihood, type or effect of any such restrictions. Periods of intense diplomatic or armed conflict may result in new and rapidly evolving trade restrictions and sanctions. Trade restrictions, including new or increased tariffs or quotas, embargoes, sanctions, safeguards and customs restrictions against the products we sell, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of product available to us and adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

The sale and purchase of firearms and ammunition are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign governmental laws, violations of which could result in the revocation of our licenses.

We are subject to the rules and regulations of the ATF and various state and international agencies that control the manufacture, export, import, distribution and sale of firearms, explosives and ammunition. Such regulations may adversely affect demand for our products by imposing limitations that increase the costs or limit the availability of our products.

67

Table of Contents

Among the various laws and regulations governing the sale and purchase of firearms in the United States are restrictions on the sale of firearms to certain individuals, including federal law prohibiting the sale of firearms to convicted felons, individuals adjudicated as mentally ill, and those subject to restraining orders for domestic violence, among others, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). Additionally, the Gun Control Act of 1968 sets minimum age requirements, generally prohibiting federally licensed dealers from selling handguns to individuals under 21 and long guns to individuals under 18. These restrictions are enforced by the ATF, and may be further supplemented by additional requirements or restrictions imposed by state and local laws.

State and local laws and regulations may place additional restrictions or prohibitions on firearm ownership and transfer. These laws and regulations vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some states or other governmental entities have enacted, and others are considering laws restricting or prohibiting the ownership, use, sale or importation of certain categories of firearms, ammunition, ammunition feeding devices, or all of these products. For example, certain states have adopted restrictions on the sale of modern sporting rifles, and other states are considering adopting similar laws. Several states require internal or external locking mechanisms for firearms sold in their jurisdictions. Some states mandate, or are considering mandating, certain design features based on perceived safety or other grounds. California maintains a roster of handguns that are certified for sale in the state. Compliance with these various state and local laws and regulations can be burdensome, time-consuming and potentially increase our operation costs.

Failure to comply with these or other applicable federal, state, or local firearms laws and regulations could result in significant civil or criminal penalties, including fines, license revocation, and potentially the suspension or termination of our ability to sell firearms. In addition, non-compliance could damage our reputation, result in costly litigation, and adversely affect our relationships with customers, vendors, and regulatory authorities.

Federal and state legislatures also frequently consider laws relating to the regulation of firearms and ammunition, including the amendment or repeal of existing laws. Existing laws may also be affected by future judicial rulings and interpretations. Changes to existing laws or the enactment of new laws may seek to restrict the makeup of firearms and ammunition, including limiting magazine capacity; mandating the use of certain technologies in a firearm; removing existing legal defenses in lawsuits; setting and/or increasing existing minimum age limits to purchase certain firearms and ammunition; or banning the sale and, in some cases, the ownership of various types of firearms and accessories. For example, certain states and the District of Columbia restrict magazine capacity. Further, a number of states have adopted some form of so called “gun industry accountability” laws that attempt to facilitate the filing of civil lawsuits by the respective state government or private individuals against certain industry participants. Other states are considering adopting similar laws. Interest in gun control legislation among federal and state legislatures tends to intensify following significant events, such as mass shootings. If restrictive laws or restrictive changes to existing laws are adopted, we could find it difficult, expensive, or even impossible to comply with such laws, which could impede our ability to distribute existing products. In addition, gun-control activists may succeed in imposing restrictions or an outright ban on private firearm ownership or particular firearm models, such as modern sporting rifles. Such restrictions or bans could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Failures in our FFL validation or shipment processes could lead to regulatory violations, customer dissatisfaction, and material harm to our business.

A critical aspect of our operations involves shipping firearms to our network of third-party FFL holders, who are responsible for completing the final transfer of firearms to our customers in accordance with applicable law. Regulatory compliance requires that shipments be made only to valid, active FFL holders at their licensed locations. We maintain a series of validation steps, including verification of FFL status through the ATF’s online “FFLEZCheck” system and ongoing order-level validations through our proprietary eGunbook regulatory compliance software. Nevertheless, despite these safeguards, errors may occur in the validation or fulfillment process. For example, a shipment could be sent to an FFL holder whose license has become inactive, or to an incorrect address if discrepancies in order data or shipping label generation are not detected.

If firearms are shipped to inactive FFLs, incorrect addresses, or otherwise in violation of applicable law, we could be subject to regulatory enforcement actions, fines, or other penalties. In addition, errors that delay or disrupt customer pickups could lead to reputational damage, loss of customer trust, increased operational costs to remediate errors, and ultimately a negative impact on our revenue and financial results. Although our systems are designed to detect and remediate discrepancies prior to shipment, errors may nonetheless occur despite these safeguards, and we rely on various manual processes, including customer service representative intervention and outbound shipment verification, to resolve discrepancies. Any material increase in validation or fulfillment errors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Table of Contents

We are exposed to risks from legal proceedings, including intellectual property infringement claims, and audits, including ATF compliance inspections, which may result in substantial costs and expenses or interruption of our normal business operations.

Although we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, in the ordinary course of our business we may become subject to commercial, regulatory, employment, tort and other litigation.

We may become subject to intellectual property infringement claims against us in the ordinary course of our business because of the software, systems and processes we use to sell our products, in the form of cease-and-desist letters, licensing inquiries, lawsuits and other communications and demands.

We also are subject to audits by various partners and customers relating to purchases and sales under various contracts. In addition, we are subject to indemnification claims under various contracts. Similarly, we are subject to audits by the ATF in the form of a compliance inspection, which can be done without a warrant, once a year. The possible consequences for noncompliance range from a warning letter to license revocation.

Current and future litigation, infringement claims, governmental proceedings and investigations, audits or indemnification claims that we face may result in substantial costs and expenses and significantly divert the attention of our management regardless of the outcome. In addition, these matters could lead to increased costs or interruptions of our normal business operations. Litigation, infringement claims, governmental proceedings and investigations, audits or indemnification claims involve uncertainties and the eventual outcome of any such matter could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Failure to comply with complex and evolving laws and regulations applicable to our operations or failure to meet stakeholder expectations on environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility matters could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Our operations span a variety of legal regimes, subjecting us to numerous complex, diverse, evolving and at times potentially inconsistent laws and regulations in a number of areas, including labor and employment, advertising, eCommerce, tax, trade, import and export controls, economic and trade sanctions, anti-corruption, data privacy and security requirements, competition, climate, environmental and health and safety. The evaluation of and compliance with these laws, regulations and similar requirements may be onerous and expensive, and may have other adverse impacts on our business, results of operations or cash flows, the risk of which will be heightened as we expand the products we offer and expand into new markets and channels. For example, we may be subject to increased costs and use of operational resources associated with complying with any new climate-related laws and regulations.

We have implemented policies and procedures designed to help ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but there can be no guarantee against employees, contractors or agents violating such laws and regulations or our policies and procedures. Additionally, there is increased focus by stakeholders on environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility matters, and stakeholders may disagree with our commitments and initiatives on such matters. Our disclosure on these matters and our failure, or perceived failure, to meet our commitments (including with respect to climate change) or otherwise effectively address these matters may erode customer trust or confidence, particularly if they receive considerable publicity or result in litigation and could have a negative impact on our business.

Following this transaction, we will also become subject to increasingly complex public disclosure, corporate governance and accounting requirements that increase compliance costs and require significant management focus.

The requirements of being a public company may strain GrabAGun’s resources, divert management’s attention and affect its ability to attract and retain qualified independent board members.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting and corporate governance requirements of the Exchange Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE and other applicable securities rules and regulations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. Among

69

Table of Contents

other things, the Exchange Act will require us to file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Although we have already hired outside consultants to help comply with these requirements, we may hire additional personnel within our legal and finance departments in the future, which will increase our costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business and prospects may be harmed. As a result of disclosure of information in the filings required of a public company and in this proxy statement/prospectus, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

GrabAGun may be exposed to risk if it cannot enhance, maintain and adhere to its internal controls and procedures.

As a public company trading on the NYSE, we will have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that will require us to anticipate and react to changes in our business accounting, auditing and regulatory requirements and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company, and we are still early in the process of generating a mature system of internal controls and integration across business systems. If we are unable to establish or maintain appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations on a timely basis, result in material misstatements in our financial statements, and harm our operating results.

Matters impacting our internal controls may cause us to be unable to report our financial information in an accurate manner or on a timely basis and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC or violations of NYSE rules. There also could be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements also could suffer if we or our independent registered public accounting firm continue to report a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. This could seriously affect us and lead to a decline in the market price of our common stock.

As a public company, GrabAGun will incur increased expenses associated with the costs of being a public company.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will face a significant increase in insurance, legal, auditing, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that we do not currently incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404 of that Act, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Act and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), the SEC and the NYSE, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase our costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities that we have not done previously. For example, we will create new

70

board committees and adopt new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, additional expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. Further, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if our independent registered accounting firm identifies a material weakness or significant deficiency in the internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs to remediate those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of it. Being a public company could make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage with increased self-retention risk or substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. Being a public company could also make it more difficult and expensive for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, board committees or as executive officers. Further, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by various rules and regulations applicable to public companies will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, auditing, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by shareholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Defined terms included below will have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and accompanying notes present the combination of the historical financial information of Colombier and GrabAGun, adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”).

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, assumes that the Business Combination occurred on December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 presents pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what Pubco’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of Pubco. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The historical financial information of Colombier was derived from the audited financial statements of Colombier as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of GrabAGun was derived from the audited financial statements of GrabAGun as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with Colombier’s and GrabAGun’s audited financial statements and related notes, the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Colombier” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of GrabAGun” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Description of the Business Combination

On January 6, 2025, Colombier and GrabAGun entered into the Merger Agreement with Pubco and Company Merger Sub, to which Purchaser Merger Sub also became a party upon subsequent execution of a joinder agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination will be effected between Colombier, GrabAGun and Pubco, among other parties, including the occurrence of the following:

        At the Colombier Merger Effective Time, Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity, as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of Colombier immediately prior to the Colombier Merger Effective Time will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, at the Closing, substantially equivalent securities of Pubco.

        At the GrabAGun Merger Effective Time, Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity, and as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of GrabAGun immediately prior to the GrabAGun Merger Effective Time will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right of GrabAGun Members to receive, at the Closing, newly-issued shares of Pubco Common Stock.

        As a result of the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Colombier and GrabAGun will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

        In connection with the Business Combination, the parties will submit an application for Pubco shares and warrants to become listed on the NYSE.

Table of Contents

Merger Consideration

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consideration to be delivered to the GrabAGun Members will consist of (i) a number of newly issued shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to One Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($100,000,000) divided by Ten U.S. Dollars ($10.00) plus (ii) an amount of cash equal to Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($50,000,000). Each GrabAGun Member will be entitled to receive his pro rata portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration and the Aggregate Cash Consideration. Concurrent with the Closing, separate and apart from the Aggregate Stock Consideration and Aggregate Cash Consideration, 300,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock will be issued to the GrabAGun Consultant under the terms of the Consulting Agreement.

The following table summarizes the pro forma number of shares of Pubco Common Stock expected to be outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination under two separate scenarios, each as further described below, assuming no pre-Closing transfers, distributions or forfeitures of securities held by the Sponsor, and excluding the potential dilutive effect of Pubco warrants to be issued at Closing to former holders of Colombier Public Warrants and Colombier Private Warrants (and the shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants).

The foregoing table does not reflect the impact of any other equity issuances on the beneficial ownership levels of Pubco, such as:

        grants of equity under the Incentive Plan or any other Pubco equity incentive plans of that may be made in the future; or

        any private investment in public equity or any other dilutive financing sources, as none of Colombier, GrabAGun or Pubco has commitments for any such financing transaction commitments as this time, in connection with the proposed Business Combination or otherwise and does not currently anticipate having any such transactions or commitments prior to the Closing.

All of the relative percentages above are for illustrative purposes only and are based upon certain assumptions as described in the section entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and, with respect to the determination of the assumptions incorporated into the “Contractual Maximum Redemptions” scenario, as further described below. Additionally, the relative percentages above assume the Business Combination was consummated on December 31, 2024. Should one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual ownership percentages may vary, perhaps materially, from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Colombier will be treated as the “acquired” company and GrabAGun will be treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of GrabAGun issuing stock for the net assets of Colombier, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Colombier will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of GrabAGun.

73

Table of Contents

GrabAGun has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances with regard to Pubco immediately after the Closing, applicable to both the “no redemptions” and “contractual maximum” redemption scenarios:

        Effective upon the Closing, the Pubco Board will consist of nine (9) directors, a majority of whom will be designees of GrabAGun.

        The executive officers of GrabAGun will become the initial executive officers of Pubco.

        The assets of GrabAGun will represent a significant majority of the assets of Pubco (excluding cash formerly held in the Trust Account); and

        Immediately after the Closing, Pubco’s business will be the continued business of GrabAGun, focusing on its core operations as a retailer specializing in firearms, ammunition, and related accessories.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption for cash of Public Shares:

        Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. As the Sponsor waived its redemption rights with regard to Sponsor Shares, only redemptions by Public Shareholders are considered for purposes of this presentation.

        Assuming Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions described in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes there are no redemptions of Public Shares prior to the Business Combination’s consummation and that 8,951,173 Public Shares are redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination for aggregate Redemption Payments of $93.5 million, assuming a redemption price of $10.45 per share (based on $177.6 million contained in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024), which represents the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Closing while still enabling the parties to satisfy the condition contained in the Merger Agreement, which is waivable by Colombier and GrabAGun, that, at the Closing, after (i) giving effect to the completion and payment of Redemptions and payment of Colombier Transaction Expenses and (ii) payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to GrabAGun Members required under the terms of the Merger Agreement, gross cash or cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at the Closing will equal or exceed $30 million. The “contractual maximum redemption scenario” represents the maximum number of Public Shares that may be redeemed while satisfying the Minimum Cash Condition, taking into account the assumptions described above. In the event that aggregate cash and cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at Closing is insufficient to meet the Minimum Cash Condition, a condition to the Closing would not be met and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 are based on the audited historical financial statements of Colombier and GrabAGun. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are for informational purposes only. They do not purport to indicate the results that would have been obtained had the Business Combination and related transactions actually been completed on the assumed date or for the period presented, or which may be realized in the future. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available, and assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and include immaterial rounding differences.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

(1)    Derived from the audited balance sheet of GrabAGun as of December 31, 2024.

(2)    Derived from the audited balance sheet of Colombier as of December 31, 2024.

(A)    Reflects the transfer of marketable securities held in the Trust Account to cash.

(B)    Reflects payments of Colombier accrued expenses at the closing of the Business Combination. These represent costs associated with the Administrative Services Agreement and the Services and Indemnification Agreement, each of which is a contractual obligation entered into at the time of the Colombier IPO and continued through the completion of the Business Combination.

(C)    Reflects the settlement of deferred IPO underwriting commissions at the closing of the Business Combination.

(D)    Reflects preliminary estimated Transaction Expenses expected to be incurred by Colombier of approximately $5 million (which amount is subject to change, prior to Closing). Of the estimated aggregate $5 million Transaction Expenses, $850 thousand is attributable to deferred IPO underwriting costs, as documented in Adjustment (E), $35 thousand of such fees have been paid and $469 thousand have been accrued as of the pro forma balance sheet date. The remaining estimated amount of $3.6 million is reflected as an adjustment to accumulated deficit.

76

Table of Contents

(E)    Represents a reimbursement for a portion of the deferred IPO underwriting fees payable by Colombier upon consummation of the Business Combination, as documented in Adjustment (C). Based on the arrangement with the underwriters, Colombier’s deferred underwriting fee obligation was initially set at $0.35 per unit for the 17 million units issued in Colombier’s IPO, resulting in total deferred underwriting fees of $5.95 million. However, up to $0.30 per unit may be reallocated to as a reimbursement to Colombier to cover expenses and post-closing working capital needs. As a result, the remaining aggregate deferred underwriting fees payable at the closing are expected to be limited to $850,000 ($0.05 per unit × 17 million units). Consequently, $5.1 million of the deferred underwriting fees currently recorded on Colombier’s balance sheet are expected to be reallocated to reimburse expenses and fund post-closing working capital needs and is presented as an adjustment to cash and retained earnings.

(F)    Represents the settlement of GrabAGun’s estimated future Transaction Expenses related to the Business Combination of $3.6 million, as well as $252 thousand which GrabAGun has deferred as of December 31, 2024.

(G)    Reflects the $50 million Aggregate Cash Consideration paid to the GrabAGun Members in connection with the Business Combination in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

(H)    Represents the $100 million of Aggregate Stock Consideration issued to the GrabAGun Members in connection with the Business Combination in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. This adjustment is allocated between newly issued shares of Pubco Common Stock and additional paid-in capital using par value of $0.0001 per share.

(I)     In December 2024, GrabAGun entered into the Consulting Agreement pursuant to which the GrabAGun Consultant became entitled to receive restricted units of GrabAGun, the grant date of which took place in January 2025. Upon the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, these units will be settled in the form of 300,000 newly issued Pubco Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share. The units will be forfeited if the Business Combination is not consummated.

(J)     Reflects the reclassification of issued and outstanding Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares which, prior to Closing, will convert into Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Current Charter which shares will be cancelled in connection with the Colombier Merger in consideration of the right to receive newly-issued shares of Pubco Common Stock, all in accordance with terms of the Merger Agreement. This adjustment is allocated between new Pubco Common Stock and additional paid-in capital using par value of $0.0001 per share.

(K)    Reflects the reclassification of GrabAGun’s historical members’ capital to accumulated deficit. As GrabAGun is currently a limited liability company (LLC), it does not report a retained earnings or accumulated deficit balance. Upon the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, GrabAGun will no longer be an LLC, but will be considered a corporation, and as such, its members’ capital balance will be reclassified to accumulated deficit.

(L)    Reflects the elimination of Colombier’s historical accumulated deficit to align the combined entity’s financial statements the capital structure upon completion of the Business Combination.

(M)   Reflects the redemption of Public Shares for cash by the Colombier Public Shareholders upon consummation of the Business Combination. In Scenario 1, “No Redemptions,” the presentation reflects that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights in connection with or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination in consideration for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account. Scenario 2, “Contractual Maximum Redemptions”, reflects the redemption of 8,951,173 Public Shares for aggregate Redemption Payments by Colombier of approximately $93.5 million (based on an assumed $10.45 Redemption Price per share calculated based on $177.6 million contained in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024). The associated reduction in equity reflects the par value of $0.0001 per share allocated to common stock, with the remainder of the redemption price allocated to Additional Paid-In Capital (APIC).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Colombier will be treated as the “accounting acquiree,” and GrabAGun as the “accounting acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of GrabAGun issuing shares for the net assets of Colombier, followed by a recapitalization. The net assets of Colombier will be stated at historical cost, with no revaluation. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of GrabAGun.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 assumes that the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, presents pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2024. This period is presented on the basis of GrabAGun as the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited condensed pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

        Colombier’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the related notes for the year, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

        GrabAGun’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

        Colombier’s audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

        GrabAGun’s audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of Colombier Ordinary Shares:

        Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. As the Sponsor waived its redemption rights with regard to Sponsor Shares, only redemptions by Public Shareholders are considered for purposes of this presentation.

        Assuming Contractual Maximum Redemptions:    In addition to the assumptions described in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes there are no redemptions of Public Shares prior to the Business Combination’s consummation and that 8,951,173 Public Shares are redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination for aggregate Redemption Payments of $93.5 million, assuming a redemption price of $10.45 per share (based on $177.6 million contained in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024), which represents the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Closing while still enabling the parties to satisfy the condition contained in the Merger Agreement, which is waivable by Colombier and GrabAGun, that, at the Closing, after (i) giving effect to the completion and payment of Redemptions and payment of Colombier Transaction Expenses and (ii) payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to GrabAGun Members required under the terms of the Merger Agreement, gross cash or cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at the Closing will equal or exceed $30 million. The “contractual maximum redemption scenario” represents the maximum number of Public Shares that may be redeemed while satisfying the Minimum Cash Condition, taking into account the assumptions described above. In the event that aggregate cash and cash equivalents delivered to Pubco at Closing is insufficient to meet the Minimum Cash Condition, a condition to the Closing would not be met and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

80

Table of Contents

As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates and include estimates related to the amount of transaction expenses expected to be incurred after December 31, 2024, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Colombier believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Colombier believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of Pubco. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Colombier and GrabAGun.

2. Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of Pubco. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events that are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of Pubco.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” to depict the accounting for the transaction and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Colombier has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and is only presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The audited historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to transaction accounting adjustments that reflect the accounting for the transaction under GAAP. GrabAGun and Colombier have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include income tax effects as the parties to the Business Combination are evaluating the post-closing tax implications and related accounting policies of the combined company. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the parties to the Business Combination filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented, nor does it reflect the amounts of pro forma deferred tax assets or liabilities as of the periods presented.

The pro forma basic and diluted loss per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of Pubco’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2024.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
PER SHARE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following table sets forth the historical comparative share information for Colombier and GrabAGun on a stand-alone basis and the unaudited pro forma combined share information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming (i) no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination; and (ii) the Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to a maximum of 8,951,173 Public Shares. Under the Contractual Maximum redemption scenario, this represents approximately 52.7% of the Public Shares being redeemed, resulting in aggregate Redemption Payments of $93.5 million, calculated based on a redemption price of approximately $10.45 per share. The estimated per share redemption value of $10.45 was calculated by dividing the amount of $177.6 million in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024 by the 17,000,000 total Public Shares. The 52.7% redemption amount reflects the maximum number of Public Shares that can be redeemed without violating the closing conditions of the Merger Agreement. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “no redemption” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of contractual maximum redemptions.

This information is only a summary and should be read together with the selected historical financial information summary of Colombier and GrabAGun and the historical financial statements and related notes of each of Colombier and GrabAGun, in each case, that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of Colombier and GrabAGun is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The unaudited pro forma combined earnings per share information below does not purport to represent the earnings per share which would have occurred had Colombier and GrabAGun consummated a business combination during the periods presented, nor earnings per share for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma combined book value per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of Colombier and GrabAGun would have been had Colombier and GrabAGun consummated a business combination during the period presented.

Voting Power and Record Date

You will be entitled to vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting if you owned Colombier Ordinary Shares at the close of business on [•], 2025, which is the Record Date. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Colombier Ordinary Shares that you held as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 21,250,000 Colombier Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which 17,000,000 are Public Shares and 4,250,000 are Colombier Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor.

Vote of the Sponsor

In connection with the IPO, Colombier entered into agreements with the Sponsor, pursuant to which it agreed to vote any Colombier Ordinary Shares owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other Proposals presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. These agreements apply to the Business Combination Proposal and for all other Proposals presented to Colombier shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Sponsor has waived any redemption rights, including with respect to Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in the aftermarket, in connection with Business Combination. No consideration was provided in exchange for the Sponsor’s waiver of its redemption rights. The Sponsor Shares held by the Sponsor have no redemption rights upon Colombier’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Colombier by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders).

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals

A quorum of Colombier shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting if one-third of the Colombier Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting are represented in person online or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes which

86

Table of Contents

are cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Accordingly, a Colombier shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote virtually in person at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting on any of the Proposals (including by abstaining on each of the Proposals) will have no effect on the outcome. However, if a Colombier shareholder votes any shares by proxy or virtually in person at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting on any Proposal, the failure to vote such shares on other Proposals (including by abstaining on the Business Combination Proposal) will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such other Proposals.

The Required Proposals are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Required Proposals (which do not include the Organizational Documents Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal). Unless the Business Combination Proposal is approved, the remaining Required Proposals will not be presented to the shareholders of Colombier at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on any other proposal.

It is important for you to note that in the event the Required Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal) do not receive the requisite vote for approval, then Colombier will not consummate the Business Combination. If Colombier does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 and does not seek to obtain the approval of its shareholders for an Extension, Colombier will be required to cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, redeem its Public Shares and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders (net of Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the Proposals.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Accordingly, a Colombier shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote virtually in person at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting on any of the Proposals (including by abstaining on each of the Proposals) will have no effect on the outcome. However, if a Colombier shareholder votes any shares by proxy or virtually in person at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting on any Proposal, the failure to vote such shares on other Proposals (including by abstaining on the Business Combination Proposal) will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such other Proposals.

Recommendation of the Colombier Board

The Colombier Board has determined that each of the Proposals is fair, advisable and in the best interests of Colombier and has unanimously approved such Proposals. The Colombier Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

When you consider the recommendation of Colombier Board in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, members of Colombier Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, the fact that:

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 4,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares referred to as the Sponsor Shares (which, upon consummation of an initial business combination

87

Table of Contents

or earlier, in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter, will or may be converted into Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares) held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will be worthless because the holders thereof entered into an agreement waiving entitlement to participate in any redemption or liquidating distributions with respect to such shares. Neither the Sponsor nor any other person received any compensation in exchange for this agreement to waive redemption and liquidation rights. Pursuant to terms of the Insider Letter, the Sponsor Shares are subject to a lock-up whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Sponsor Shares are not transferable until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or (B) subsequent to Colombier’s initial business combination, the date on which Pubco consummates a transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other properties; provided, however, that if the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is approved by Colombier shareholders when presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, the foregoing lock-up terms will be amended as set forth in such proposal, upon the effectiveness of the Insider Letter Amendments at the Closing. In this regard, while the Sponsor Shares are not the same as the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, and may become worthless if Colombier does not complete a business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the aggregate value of the 4,250,000 Sponsor Shares owned by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $45.0 million, assuming the per share value of the Sponsor Shares is the same as the $10.58 closing price of the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the Private Warrants at an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, or $1.00 per warrant, with each whole Private Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Colombier Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, in the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Insider Letter, the Private Warrants and all of their underlying securities, are also subject to lock-up restrictions whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Private Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days after Colombier has completed a business combination. In this regard, while the Private Warrants are not the same as the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $3.5 million, assuming the per warrant value of a Private Warrant is the same as the $0.7011 closing price of the Public Warrants on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the proposed Business Combination is consummated, immediately after the Closing the Sponsor is anticipated to hold 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, based on the assumptions set forth in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”, which also incorporate relevant assumptions further described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” and 5,000,000 warrants, assuming, among other assumptions further described in aforementioned sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, no redemptions of Public Shares and no exercise of Public Warrants or Private Warrants prior to or in connection with the proposed Business Combination;

        that, based on the difference in the effective purchase price of $0.006 per share paid for the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, and $1.00 per warrant paid for the Private Warrants, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor and its members may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the unredeeming unaffiliated Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination;

        that if, prior to the Closing, the Sponsor provides working capital loans to Colombier, up to $1,500,000 of which may be convertible into Private Warrants at the option of the Sponsor, such loans may not be repaid if no business combination is consummated and Colombier is forced to liquidate; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding;

88

Table of Contents

        that unless Colombier consummates an initial business combination, it is possible that Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them, to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available funds not deposited in the Trust Account or from Permitted Withdrawals (provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Colombier’s officers and directors have not incurred (nor are any of them expecting to incur) out-of-pocket expenses exceeding such funds available to Colombier for reimbursement thereof, but provided, further, that if any such expenses are incurred prior to consummation of the Business Combination, Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement therefor if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated);

        that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Colombier is unable to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Colombier, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Colombier or a prospective target business with which Colombier has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, to less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets less Permitted Withdrawals, provided, however, that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under Colombier’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

        that the Sponsor and Colombier’s officers and directors may benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate;

        that under the terms of the Services and Indemnification Agreement, Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer are collectively entitled to aggregate payments of $60,000 per month until the earlier to occur of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation, payable through OJJA, an affiliate of the Sponsor;

        that, under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support services until the earlier of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation;

        that Colombier’s directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; and

        that the Sponsor has invested an aggregate of $5,025,000 (consisting of $25,000 for the Sponsor Shares and $5,000,000 for the Private Warrants), which means that the Sponsor, following the Merger, if consummated, may experience a positive rate of return on such investments, even if other Colombier shareholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment.

In addition to the interests of the Sponsor and Colombier’s executive officers and directors in the Business Combination, Colombier shareholders should be aware that the IPO Underwriter (BTIG) as well as Roth, in its capacity as financial advisor to Colombier in connection with the IPO, may also have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Colombier shareholders, including the fact that:

        pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the IPO Underwriter may receive deferred underwriting fees in an amount equal to up to $0.35 per Unit issued in the IPO, or $5,950,000, and such fees are payable only if Colombier completes an initial business combination. Up to $0.30 per Unit of the $0.35 at the sole discretion of Colombier may be reallocated for expenses in connection with its initial business combination and working capital needs post the initial business combination, after the satisfaction of redemptions in connection with an initial business combination. Any such reduction of the deferred underwriting fee will also reduce proportionately the amount payable to Roth under the Financial Advisory Services Agreement described below;

89

Table of Contents

        pursuant to the Financial Advisory Services Agreement, Roth may receive a deferred fee of up to $1,190,000, or such other amount as Roth and Colombier have agreed, as permitted by the terms of the Roth IPO Advisory Agreement, and such fees are payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth may receive a fee of $1,000,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth is entitled to reimbursement of the Roth Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $5,000, and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated;

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG may receive a fee of $1,500,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination; and

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG is entitled to reimbursement of the BTIG Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $25,000 (provided that the BTIG Engagement Letter is not earlier terminated in accordance with its terms by BTIG for convenience or Colombier for cause), and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated.

These interests may have influenced the Colombier Board in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. The members of the Colombier Board were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the Business Combination and recommended that Colombier shareholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. The Colombier Board determined that the overall benefits expected to be received by Colombier and its shareholders in the Business Combination outweighed any potential risk created by the conflicts stemming from these interests. In addition, the Colombier Board determined that potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Colombier with any other target business or businesses, (ii) these interests could be adequately disclosed to shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus, and that shareholders could take them into consideration when deciding whether to vote in favor of the proposals set forth herein and (iii) the Sponsor will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco’s stock.

Voting Your Shares

Each Colombier Ordinary Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. If you are a record owner of your shares, there are three ways to vote your Colombier Ordinary Shares at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting:

1.      Vote by internet.

        Before the meeting:    Go online to www.cstproxyvote.com. Use the internet to transmit your proxy with your voting instructions and for electronic delivery information up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time the day before the meeting date. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or obtain a proxy from the record holder of your shares allowing you to submit a proxy via the internet with respect thereto.

        During the meeting:    Go online to www.cstproxy.com/[•]. You will be able to attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting online and vote your shares electronically until voting is closed. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. However,

90

Table of Contents

if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your Colombier Ordinary Shares.

2.      Vote by mail.    Mark, date, sign and mail promptly the enclosed proxy card (a postage-paid envelope is provided for mailing in the United States). By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting in the manner you indicate. You are encouraged to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your Colombier Ordinary Shares will be voted as recommended by our Board. Our Board recommends voting “FOR” the Proposals. Proxies submitted by mail should be received by [•], 2025 in order to ensure that they are counted at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

3.      Vote by telephone.    You may submit a proxy to vote your shares by calling and following the instructions on the proxy card. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or obtain a proxy from the record holder of your shares allowing you to submit a proxy via telephone with respect thereto. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your Colombier Ordinary Shares.

Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote

If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting by doing any one of the following:

        submitting a valid, later-dated proxy card or proxy via the internet or by telephone before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the calendar day immediately preceding the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, or by mail that is received prior to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting;

        sending a written revocation of a proxy to Colombier’s secretary at 214 Brazilian Avenue, Suite 200-J, Palm Beach, FL 33480, that bears a date later than the date of the proxy you want to revoke and is received prior to the date of the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting; or

        attending the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting (or, if the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting is adjourned or postponed, attending the applicable adjourned or postponed meeting) and voting in person online, which automatically will cancel any proxy previously given, or revoking your proxy in person online, but your attendance alone will not revoke any proxy previously given.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and, if presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal. Under the Current Charter, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Current Charter, any holders of Public Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made in accordance with the procedures reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Colombier as Permitted Withdrawals). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $179.2 million on March 17, 2025, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.54. A public shareholder, together with any of such shareholder’s affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of Exchange Act) will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate such shareholder’s shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, with respect to 15% or more of the Colombier Ordinary Shares included in the Units.

In order to exercise redemption rights, holders of Public Shares must:

        prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [•], 2025 (two (2) business days before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system and submit a request in writing that your Public Shares be redeemed for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Colombier’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: SPAC Redemption Team
E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

        In your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption, you must also affirmatively certify if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to Colombier Ordinary Shares; and

        deliver your Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC to Colombier’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Public Shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient

92

Table of Contents

time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is Colombier’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Colombier does not have any control over this process, and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their Public Shares in “street name” will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your Public Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with Colombier’s consent, until the consummation of the Business Combination, or such other date and time as determined by the Colombier Board. If you delivered your shares for redemption to Colombier’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Colombier’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Colombier’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

If Colombier receives valid redemption requests from holders of Public Shares prior to the redemption deadline, Colombier may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing (or such earlier date and time, if any, as Colombier may determine in its sole discretion), seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. Colombier may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors we may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account. If a holder of Public Shares delivered its Public Shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decides within the required timeframe not to exercise its redemption rights, it may request that the transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Colombier Ordinary Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Colombier Ordinary Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Colombier Ordinary Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in Colombier Ordinary Shares when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your Colombier Ordinary Shares will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of Pubco, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not consummated and Colombier otherwise does not consummate an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders (net of Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) and the Warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

Colombier shareholders do not have appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Companies Act.

Proxy Solicitation

Colombier is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Colombier and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person. Colombier will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. Colombier will bear the cost of the solicitation.

93

Table of Contents

Colombier has hired Sodali to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Colombier will pay that firm a fee of $30,000, plus disbursements of its expenses in connection with the services relating to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

Colombier will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries (“other nominees”) to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Colombier will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses in connection with such efforts.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares and/or Warrants

At any time prior to the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, Colombier’s Sponsor, directors or officers or GrabAGun and/or their respective affiliates, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding Colombier or Colombier’s securities, may purchase Units, Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, or Public Warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals are approved at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, none of Colombier’s Sponsor, directors or officers has any plans to make any such purchases. Colombier will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding Colombier Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Colombier’s directors and officers may result in conflicts of interest, including a conflict between what may be in the best interests of Colombier and its shareholders and what may be best for a director’s personal interests when determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. See the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1)  Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” for more information and other risks.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 1)

General

Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares are being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination. Colombier shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement” below, for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because Colombier is holding a shareholder vote on the Business Combination, Colombier may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Colombier Ordinary Shares that are voted at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, voting together as a single class.

The Merger Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement and the related agreements; a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. Colombier shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this section “Proposal 1: The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement” are defined in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates, including, in some cases, as of the Closing of the Business Combination. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure schedules attached thereto which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders. The disclosure schedules were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Colombier does not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

On January 6, 2025, Colombier entered into the Merger Agreement with Pubco, Purchaser Merger Sub (upon subsequent execution of a joinder to the Merger Agreement), Company Merger Sub, and GrabAGun. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between Colombier and GrabAGun will be effected. More specifically, and as described in greater detail below, at the Effective Time, Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity, as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of Colombier immediately prior to the effective time of the Colombier Merger will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, at the Closing, substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity, and as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of GrabAGun immediately prior to the effective time of the GrabAGun Merger will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive newly-issued shares of Pubco Common Stock and the Aggregate Cash Consideration. As a result of the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Colombier and GrabAGun will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company.

Merger Consideration

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consideration to be delivered to the holders of equity interests of GrabAGun in connection with the Mergers will consist of (i) a number of newly issued shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to $100.0 million divided by $10.00 plus (ii) an amount of cash equal to $50.0 million. Each GrabAGun Member will be entitled to receive his pro rata portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration and the Aggregate Cash Consideration.

95

Table of Contents

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of each of Colombier and GrabAGun that are reasonably customary for similar transactions and that include certain qualifications and customary exceptions, as applicable. Additionally, many of the representations and warranties are qualified by specified exceptions or qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement, by information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement, or by reference to materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or similar qualifiers. “Material Adverse Effect” as used in the Merger Agreement means with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon (a) the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) the ability of such person or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the agreements related thereto to which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations, subject to customary exceptions.

No Survival

No party’s representations, warranties or pre-Closing covenants will survive Closing, except for those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which will survive until fully performed. No party has any post-Closing indemnification obligations.

Covenants of the Parties

The Merger Agreement includes customary covenants of the parties with respect to, among others things, (i) operation of their respective businesses prior to consummation of the Merger and efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Merger, (ii) access to information, (iii) cooperation in the preparation of the registration statement on Form S-4 required to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Mergers and (iv) obtaining all requisite approvals of each party’s respective shareholders. Additionally, each of Colombier and GrabAGun has agreed not to solicit or enter into a competing alternative transaction in accordance with customary terms and provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Further, Colombier also agreed not to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the recommendation of the Colombier Board to its shareholders for approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to obtaining the approval from Colombier shareholders, the Colombier Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determines in good faith, in response to an Intervening Event, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a Material Adverse Effect with respect to GrabAGun has occurred on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and, as a result, the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Colombier Board, Colombier may make a Change in Recommendation, provided that such party will not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Change in Recommendation unless (i) such party delivers to the other party a written notice advising such other party that its board of directors proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying its board of directors’ determination that a Material Adverse Effect on GrabAGun has occurred, and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) business day immediately following the day on which the Change in Recommendation Notice is delivered, the Colombier Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account any adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement offered by GrabAGun as described in the following sentence) that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. If requested by GrabAGun, Colombier will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its representative to, during the Change in Recommendation Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with GrabAGun and its representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement so as to obviate the need for a Change in Recommendation.

Conditions to Closing

Each party’s obligation to consummate the Transactions are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) approval by Colombier’s shareholders of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) approval by GrabAGun’s members of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (iii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended or any other applicable antitrust laws; (iv) the absence of any applicable law or order that makes illegal, or prohibits or prevents, the transactions contemplated by

Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Colombier Board to vote in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that Colombier’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a shareholder and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating Colombier. These interests include, among other things, the fact that:

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 4,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares referred to as the Sponsor Shares (which, upon consummation of an initial business combination or earlier, in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter, will or may be converted into Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares) held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will be worthless because the holders thereof entered into an agreement waiving entitlement to participate in any redemption or liquidating distributions with respect to such shares. Neither the Sponsor nor any other person received any compensation in exchange for this agreement to waive redemption and liquidation rights. Pursuant to terms of the Insider Letter, the Sponsor Shares are subject to a lock-up whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Sponsor Shares are not transferable until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or (B) subsequent to Colombier’s initial business combination, the date on which Pubco consummates a transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other properties; provided, however, that if the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is approved by Colombier shareholders when presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, the foregoing lock-up terms will be amended as set forth in such proposal, upon the effectiveness of the Insider Letter Amendments at the Closing. In this regard, while the Sponsor Shares are not the same as the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, and may become worthless if Colombier does not complete a business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the aggregate value of the 4,250,000 Sponsor

100

Table of Contents

Shares owned by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $45.0 million, assuming the per share value of the Sponsor Shares is the same as the $10.58 closing price of the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the Private Warrants at an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, or $1.00 per warrant, with each whole Private Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Colombier Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, in the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Insider Letter, the Private Warrants and all of their underlying securities, are also subject to lock-up restrictions whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Private Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days after Colombier has completed a business combination. In this regard, while the Private Warrants are not the same as the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $3.5 million, assuming the per warrant value of a Private Warrant is the same as the $0.7011 closing price of the Public Warrants on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the proposed Business Combination is consummated, immediately after the Closing the Sponsor is anticipated to hold 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, based on the assumptions set forth in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”, which also incorporate relevant assumptions further described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” and 5,000,000 warrants, assuming, among other assumptions further described in aforementioned sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, no redemptions of Public Shares and no exercise of Public Warrants or Private Warrants prior to or in connection with the proposed Business Combination;

        that, based on the difference in the effective purchase price of $0.006 per share paid for the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, and $1.00 per warrant paid for the Private Warrants, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor and its members may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the unredeeming unaffiliated Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination;

        that if, prior to the Closing, the Sponsor provides working capital loans to Colombier, up to $1,500,000 of which may be convertible into Private Warrants at the option of the Sponsor, such loans may not be repaid if no business combination is consummated and Colombier is forced to liquidate; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding;

        that unless Colombier consummates an initial business combination, it is possible that Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them, to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available funds not deposited in the Trust Account or from Permitted Withdrawals (provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Colombier’s officers and directors have not incurred (nor are any of them expecting to incur) out-of-pocket expenses exceeding such funds available to Colombier for reimbursement thereof, but provided, further, that if any such expenses are incurred prior to consummation of the Business Combination, Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement therefor if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated);

        that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Colombier is unable to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Colombier, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Colombier or a prospective target business with which Colombier has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, to less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets less

101

Table of Contents

Permitted Withdrawals, provided, however, that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under Colombier’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

        that the Sponsor and Colombier’s officers and directors may benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate;

        that under the terms of the Services and Indemnification Agreement, Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer are collectively entitled to aggregate payments of $60,000 per month until the earlier to occur of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation, payable through OJJA, an affiliate of the Sponsor;

        that, under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support services until the earlier of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation;

        that Colombier’s directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; and

        that the Sponsor has invested an aggregate of $5,025,000 (consisting of $25,000 for the Sponsor Shares and $5,000,000 for the Private Warrants), which means that the Sponsor, following the Merger, if consummated, may experience a positive rate of return on such investments, even if other Colombier shareholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment.

In addition to the interests of the Sponsor and Colombier’s executive officers and directors in the Business Combination, Colombier shareholders should be aware that the IPO Underwriter (BTIG) as well as Roth, in its capacity as financial advisor to Colombier in connection with the IPO, may also have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Colombier shareholders, including the fact that:

        pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the IPO Underwriter may receive deferred underwriting fees in an amount equal to up to $0.35 per Unit issued in the IPO, or $5,950,000, and such fees are payable only if Colombier completes an initial business combination. Up to $0.30 per Unit of the $0.35 at the sole discretion of Colombier may be reallocated for expenses in connection with its initial business combination and working capital needs post the initial business combination, after the satisfaction of redemptions in connection with an initial business combination. Any such reduction of the deferred underwriting fee will also reduce proportionately the amount payable to Roth under the Financial Advisory Services Agreement described below;

        pursuant to the Financial Advisory Services Agreement, Roth may receive a deferred fee of up to $1,190,000, or such other amount as Roth and Colombier have agreed, as permitted by the terms of the Roth IPO Advisory Agreement, and such fees are payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth may receive a fee of $1,000,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth is entitled to reimbursement of the Roth Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $5,000, and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated;

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG may receive a fee of $1,500,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination; and

102

Table of Contents

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG is entitled to reimbursement of the BTIG Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $25,000 (provided that the BTIG Engagement Letter is not earlier terminated in accordance with its terms by BTIG for convenience or Colombier for cause), and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated.

These interests may have influenced the Colombier Board in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. The members of the Colombier Board were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the Business Combination and recommended that Colombier shareholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. The Colombier Board determined that the overall benefits expected to be received by Colombier and its shareholders in the Business Combination outweigh any potential risk created by the conflicts stemming from these interests. In addition, the Colombier Board determined that potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Colombier with any other target business or businesses, (ii) these interests could be adequately disclosed to shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus, and that shareholders could take them into consideration when deciding whether to vote in favor of the proposals set forth herein and (iii) the Sponsor will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco’s stock.

Interests of GrabAGun’s Members and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of the Colombier Board in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that GrabAGun’s members and officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to those of Colombier shareholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

        Certain officers of GrabAGun are expected to become officers of Pubco upon the consummation of the Business Combination. Specifically, the following individuals who are currently officers of GrabAGun are expected to become officers of Pubco upon the consummation of the Business Combination, serving in the offices set forth opposite their names below:

        Additionally, each of Marc Nemati and Matthew Vittitow have been identified as nominees to serve on the Pubco Board immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, in connection with which Messrs. Nemati and Vittitow may receive compensation for such service, to the extent Pubco determines to provide any such compensation to its board and board committee members. See also the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Director Compensation — Director Compensation After the Business Combination.”

        All four GrabAGun Members, three of whom are officers, own GrabAGun Interests, and will be entitled to receive a portion of the consideration contemplated by the Merger Agreement upon the consummation of the Business Combination, including the Aggregate Cash Consideration. See also the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” for a further discussion of the equity interests of GrabAGun’s members and officers in the Business Combination.

        Each of Messrs.

In addition to the interests of GrabAGun’s members and executive officers in the Business Combination, Colombier shareholders should be aware that (i) under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, the GrabAGun Consultant will receive at and contingent upon the Closing, 300,000 newly-issued shares of Pubco Common Stock, representing the settlement of previously-granted restricted units in GrabAGun (which restricted units will have no economic value and be forfeited if the Business Combination is not consummated) and that the GrabAGun Consultant accordingly has financial interests in the Business Combination that may be different from the interests of the Colombier shareholders and (ii) Stephens, in its capacity as financial advisor to GrabAGun in connection with the

103

Table of Contents

Business Combination, has financial interests in the Business Combination that are different from the interests of Colombier shareholders, including the fact that, pursuant to the Stephens Engagement Letter, Stephens will receive at and contingent upon the Closing, a transaction fee in the amount of $2,500,000. The Stephens Engagement Letter also provides for reimbursement of Stephens’ out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement by GrabAGun, regardless of whether the Business Combination is consummated.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination (assuming, among other things, that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights in connection with the Closing and the other assumptions described under the section with the heading “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”), (i) the Public Shareholders are expected to own approximately 53.9% of the outstanding Pubco Common Stock, (ii) the Sponsor is expected to own approximately 13.5% of the outstanding Pubco Common Stock, and (iii) the GrabAGun Members are expected to own approximately 31.7% of the outstanding Pubco Common Stock.

These percentages assume, among other assumptions, that at, or in connection with, the Closing, (i) no Public Shareholders redeem Public Shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) there are no pre-Closing transfers, distributions or forfeitures of securities held by the Sponsor, but exclude the potential dilutive effect of Pubco warrants to be issued at Closing to former holders of Colombier Public Warrants and Colombier Private Warrants (and the shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants) and excluding, also, any post-Closing equity awards under the Incentive Plan. If actual facts are different from these assumptions, which they are likely to be, the percentage ownership retained by the Colombier shareholders and GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant in Pubco, and associated voting power, will be different.

Charter

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Pubco will adopt the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws, which will be effective as of the Closing. See “The Charter Proposal (Proposal 3).”

Name and Headquarters of Pubco

Pubco’s headquarters will be located at 200 East Beltline Road, Suite 403, Coppell, TX 75019.

Background of the Business Combination

Colombier is a blank check company incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands on September 27, 2023, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, Colombier conducted a thorough search for a business combination target, drawing upon the networks of relationships of its management team, the members of the Colombier Board and input from the Sponsor and its affiliates across different industries, leveraging the significant experience of Colombier’s officers and directors in analyzing and evaluating companies and market opportunities across a variety of sectors. Prior to consummating its IPO on November 24, 2023, neither Colombier, nor anyone on its behalf, had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a proposed transaction with GrabAGun. The terms of the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun are the result of arm’s-length negotiations between representatives of Colombier and GrabAGun. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting Business Combination.

During its search process, Colombier formally evaluated approximately 50 business combination opportunities across a broad range of sectors including, among others, technology, healthcare, consumer goods, ecommerce, financial services, asset management, banking, oil and gas, natural resources and media. Most of these targets had operations concentrated in the United States. Colombier identified these target businesses through a combination of business and personal relationships of members of Colombier management and the Colombier Board and inquiries and presentations made to Colombier by representatives of the target businesses. As Colombier continued to gather and evaluate information about these potential business combination opportunities (including, among other factors, target company management qualifications, preparedness to go public and perceived likelihood of companies’ abilities to timely proceed with a business combination transaction process), Colombier was able to further narrow the companies it was evaluating to focus on a group of 12 businesses, with which Colombier entered into non-disclosure agreements.

Table of Contents

During Colombier’s search for a business combination target, Colombier management kept members of the Colombier Board apprised of the details of such business combination opportunities, including overviews of the businesses, their target sectors and the material discussions with such businesses and the status thereof.

With regard, in particular, to the 12 potential target businesses with which Colombier entered into non-disclosure agreements, Colombier engaged in substantive discussions with advisors, significant stockholders and/or other representatives of such businesses. For the potential business combination opportunities that were deemed to warrant significant interest, Colombier management and members of the Colombier Board carried out diligence efforts, including receiving presentations from and holding discussions with management teams, evaluating management experience and engaging in readiness discussions, and assessing these target companies’ financial condition and growth prospects within their respective industries and markets. Colombier, in the course of its search and evaluation process, distributed initial draft letters of intent to five potential business combination targets (including GrabAGun) and ultimately entered into two letters of intent (inclusive of the letter of intent with GrabAGun).

Description of Negotiation Process with Candidates other than GrabAGun.

Below is a summary of targets other than GrabAGun that were considered and the reasons why Colombier did not proceed with these candidates.

        Target A:    Following the execution of an NDA in November 2023, for a period of six weeks commencing in mid-December 2023, Colombier carried out due diligence and engaged in discussions with Target A, a consumer-oriented asset manager, regarding the possibility of engaging in a business combination transaction. After further discussions and negotiations of potential transaction terms, Colombier ultimately discontinued discussions with Target A because the parties’ expectations regarding transaction timelines and terms were not aligned.

        Target B:    Colombier and Target B, consumer-oriented digital market and insights platform, began discussing the possibility of engaging in a business combination transaction in early April 2024, and continued for a five-week period following the parties’ execution of an NDA in mid-April 2024. Colombier carried out due diligence regarding Target B during this period and ultimately decided not to pursue a business combination with Target B because of Target B’s business plans and because Colombier and Target B were not able to agree on transaction terms.

        Target C:    Following the execution of an NDA in mid-May 2024, Colombier and Target C, a consumer marketplace company, began discussing the possibility of engaging in a business combination transaction. Colombier conducted various aspects of diligence and negotiated potential transaction terms with Target C for approximately three weeks, following which Target C determined to discontinue such discussions due to the parties’ inability to agree on the terms of a potential business combination.

        Target D:    For a period of three months, beginning in early June 2024, Colombier and Target D, a bank, began discussing the possibility of engaging in a business combination transaction. After executing an NDA in mid-June 2024, Colombier conducted various aspects of diligence and negotiated potential transaction terms with Target D. Such discussions resulted in the parties entering into a letter of intent on July 4, 2024. After extensive discussions and negotiations, Target D’s commitment to pursuing a business combination appeared uncertain and Colombier ultimately discontinued discussions with Target D in order to pursue other opportunities.

Description of Negotiations between Colombier and GrabAGun.

During early October 2024, a mutual business contact of Omeed Malik, the Chairman of the Colombier Board and Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, and Marc Nemati, the Chief Executive Officer of GrabAGun, introduced Messrs. Malik and Nemati, following which Mr. Nemati and the Colombier management team had an initial telephonic meeting to discuss attributes of Colombier and the possibility of Colombier and GrabAGun commencing discussions regarding the possibility of engaging in a business combination transaction. On October 3, 2024, representatives of GrabAGun’s previously engaged financial advisor, Stephens Inc. (“Stephens”), connected members of the Colombier management team with GrabAGun management over email.

On October 7, 2024, Colombier and GrabAGun entered into a non-disclosure agreement. Between October 2, 2024, and October 24, 2024, calls and meetings were held between members of Colombier management, GrabAGun management and GrabAGun’s financial advisor, Stephens, to continue preliminary discussions concerning a potential business combination transaction, including prospective timelines, the parties’ respective goals with regard to a potential business combination between Colombier and GrabAGun and the potential benefits to GrabAGun of becoming a public company. Among such meetings were initial due diligence discussions regarding GrabAGun’s business, which were attended by Colombier management, Mr. Nemati and representatives of Stephens. The parties also provisionally discussed the valuation to be attributed to GrabAGun’s business in a transaction with Colombier, as well as the GrabAGun Members’ expectation that a portion of the consideration deliverable at the Closing consist of cash. In this regard, in determining the proposed transaction consideration Colombier incorporated into the Initial LOI, as further described below, Colombier management considered, among other factors, certain historical financial and operating information about GrabAGun (including GrabAGun’s estimated EBITDA of $5M for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, derived from the unaudited historical information provided by GrabAGun to Colombier prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, as further detailed under the subheading below entitled “GrabAGun Information”), certain observations about potential growth opportunities for GrabAGun, informed by Colombier management’s experience evaluating eCommerce and other companies, and financial metrics associated with certain peer companies derived from publicly available sources, all as further detailed under the subsection entitled “Colombier Financial Analysis”.

On October 29, 2024, Andrew Nasser, Colombier’s Chief Investment Officer and Co-President, sent an initial draft of a non-binding letter of intent (“Initial LOI”) on behalf of Colombier to Mr. Nemati, which was ultimately executed by both parties on November 18, 2024 (the “LOI”).

The terms proposed by Colombier in the Initial LOI included, among other things, (i) proposed transaction consideration to GrabAGun Members equal to $150 million, consisting of (A) newly issued shares of common stock of the post-closing entity (at a per share value equal to the Redemption Price) and (B) maximum aggregate cash consideration to the GrabAGun Members in an amount equal to $50 million, subject to reduction by $5 million for each incremental $17 million payable (and pro rata for amounts not a multiple of $17 million) by Colombier to Public Shareholders to satisfy Redemption Payments, (ii) a six-month post-closing lock-up period for GrabAGun Members and the Sponsor, subject to early release based on the achievement of certain share price milestones (with the lock-up period applicable to the Sponsor Shares to be revised, subject to approval by Colombier shareholders and the IPO Underwriter) and (iii) a closing condition that, at the Closing, GrabAGun would receive gross cash proceeds from the proposed business combination of at least $50 million, before payment of Colombier’s accrued but unpaid transaction expenses.

In the following days, Colombier and GrabAGun discussed and negotiated various terms contained in the Initial LOI and GrabAGun proposed revised terms related to, among other things, the aggregate cash consideration to be received by the GrabAGun Members and the closing condition regarding minimum transaction proceeds to GrabAGun. Ultimately, the parties agreed to a final version of the LOI, which was executed on November 18, 2024. The terms of the LOI included that (i) at the Closing, the GrabAGun Members would receive aggregate consideration equal to $150 million, consisting of (A) $100 million in newly issued shares of common stock of the post-closing entity (at an assumed value of $10.00 per share) and (B) cash consideration of $50 million, (ii) the definitive transaction agreement would include a closing condition that, at the Closing, GrabAGun would receive minimum gross cash proceeds equal to at least $30 million (after satisfaction of Redemptions and after giving effect to the payment of Colombier expenses but before giving effect to the payment of unpaid GrabAGun expenses).

Subsequent to the execution of the LOI, a “kick-off” meeting was held via video conference on November 20, 2024, among representatives of Colombier and its legal counsel, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP (“EGS”), and representatives of GrabAGun and its legal counsel, Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP (“Olshan”). During this meeting, the participants discussed the anticipated terms of the proposed business combination outlined in the LOI and a high-level anticipated timeline for the proposed transaction. Following that meeting, on November 29, 2024, GrabAGun provided EGS access to a virtual data room (the “VDR”) containing information about GrabAGun, which were reviewed by Colombier and its representatives as part of due diligence.

106

Table of Contents

Between November 20, 2024, and the date of execution of the Merger Agreement, Colombier, GrabAGun and certain of their respective advisors and representatives participated in a number of telephone calls and video conferences and Colombier management gathered information to analyze and share with the Colombier Board in connection with Colombier’s evaluation of GrabAGun and the proposed Business Combination. Among other things, Colombier management utilized the information provided by GrabAGun management to inform its review and analysis of GrabAGun’s business and to prepare Colombier analyses of the proposed transaction as further described under the heading “Colombier Financial Analysis” below.

During the period between execution of the LOI and execution of the Merger Agreement, Colombier and its legal counsel EGS conducted legal due diligence based on the documents and other information provided by GrabAGun in the VDR and carried out meetings with Olshan and representatives of GrabAGun. Colombier also engaged Williams Mullen (“Williams Mullen”) as firearms regulatory legal counsel. Additionally, Baker Botts L.L.P. was engaged to assist on Texas legal matters. Legal due diligence efforts conducted by EGS focused, among other areas, on GrabAGun’s capitalization, intellectual property and platform technology, material contracts and employment and benefits arrangements. Due diligence efforts conducted by Williams Mullen focused on GrabAGun’s compliance with firearms regulations applicable to GrabAGun’s business, including to confirm the parties’ understanding that the proposed Business Combination would not require pre-Closing consent or notification from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (the “ATF”), as well as the fact that Pubco would be required to notify the ATF within a period of 30 days after the Closing of a change of control of GrabAGun and, as soon as practicable after the Closing, designate a qualified individual as a “Responsible Person” as defined by the ATF.

To facilitate legal due diligence efforts, EGS sent Olshan a customary legal due diligence request list on November 19, 2024, as supplemented on December 3, 2024, December 5, 2024, December 10, 2024, December 19, 2024, and December 21, 2024, which requests were responded to by GrabAGun and its counsel in writing, orally during meetings and by GrabAGun periodically uploading responsive documents and other information to the VDR. Over the following weeks and until the Merger Agreement was signed, Colombier, GrabAGun and their respective legal counsel continued to hold supplemental diligence meetings and engage in related communication while Colombier management provided periodic updates to the Colombier Board regarding the status of due diligence and transaction negotiations.

In parallel with legal diligence efforts, representatives of Colombier continued to conduct business and financial due diligence. At these meetings, among other things, GrabAGun responded to business, accounting and information technology-related diligence questions posed to the company and meeting participants, including representatives of Colombier, GrabAGun and their respective advisors and discussed, among other topics, GrabAGun’s business plans and strategy, historical financial and operating results, industry positioning and competition, accounting and financial oversight functions and processes and privacy and technology. Colombier management also met with other business contacts knowledgeable about the firearms industry (including certain members of the Colombier Board and other business contacts of Colombier management and the Colombier Board with industry experience or familiarity) and reviewed certain publicly-available third-party information and materials about the firearms, ammunitions and firearms accessories retail sector and about other public companies with similarities to GrabAGun’s business, though none of such information or materials was focused on, or materially relied upon, by the Colombier Board to a particular extent relative to other information reviewed and considered as part of due diligence regarding GrabAGun and its business.

On November 8, 2024 and November 15, 2024, Messrs. Nasser, representing Colombier, and Nemati, representing GrabAGun, continued to discuss the proposed business combination, including, without limitation, the jurisdiction of formation of Pubco, the entity expected to be the surviving public company in a business combination involving Colombier and GrabAGun, certain aspects of ongoing financial diligence, as well as the parties’ respective expectations regarding potential transaction expenses as well as recent trends in redemptions from SPAC trust accounts in connection with closings of other recently-consummated initial business combination transactions.

On December 3, 2024, Colombier and GrabAGun agreed to extend the exclusivity term of the LOI to December 18, 2024, in order for the parties to continue discussing and negotiating the terms of the proposed business combination. On December 18, 2024, Colombier and GrabAGun agreed to extend the exclusivity term of the LOI to January 8, 2025.

EGS prepared an initial draft of the Merger Agreement and sent it to Olshan on December 5, 2024. Between December 5, 2024, and January 3, 2025, Colombier, EGS, GrabAGun and Olshan exchanged multiple drafts of the Merger Agreement. Numerous calls and virtual meetings between EGS and Olshan were held during this period to discuss the terms of the Merger Agreement, including meetings on December 17, 2024, December 23, 2024, December 27, 2024, December 30, 2024, December 31, 2024 and January 3, 2025. The topics discussed during these calls and virtual meetings included, without limitation, (i) the structure of the proposed business combination, (ii) the date by which GrabAGun must deliver PCAOB-audited financial statements to Colombier, (iii) the Outside Date, (iv) interim period covenants of both Colombier and GrabAGun, including regarding a change in the Colombier Board’s recommendation of the transaction for approval by Colombier shareholders, and (vi) materiality, lookback periods and other qualifications for the representations and warranties of GrabAGun and Colombier.

During the course of negotiations of the Merger Agreement, the parties also exchanged drafts of, and negotiated the terms of, the Seller Support Agreement, Non-Competition Agreement, Lock-Up Agreement, Insider Letter Amendment, Pubco Stockholder Agreement and Amended Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”). With regard to the Ancillary Agreements, the principal topics discussed and ultimately agreed between the parties included (i) that the lock-up terms applicable to the Pubco shares deliverable to the GrabAGun Members at the Closing should be equivalent to the lock-up restrictions applicable to the Pubco shares deliverable at the Closing to the SPAC Sponsor (in consideration of the Colombier shares received by the Sponsor at the time of the IPO, subject, in this case, to approval by Colombier shareholders of the Insider Letter Amendment Proposal, when presented to shareholders at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting) and (ii) that the Non-Competition Agreements into which each GrabAGun Member entered concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, to be effective as of the Closing, would have three (3)-year terms. While the parties continued to discuss and refine the Merger Agreement and Ancillary Agreements, they also worked on a draft investor presentation describing GrabAGun and its business (the “Investor Presentation”). The parties continued to exchange drafts of the Investor Presentation until such presentation was ultimately finalized and a copy thereof furnished as an exhibit to Colombier’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed in connection with the announcement of the parties’ execution of the Merger Agreement.

The execution version of the Merger Agreement contained a number of material terms reflecting negotiations between the parties subsequent to December 5, 2024, including, among other things, (i) certain modifications to the interim period covenants, (ii) the parties agreed that GrabAGun must deliver the PCAOB-audited and, to the extent applicable, auditor-reviewed financial statements required for inclusion in this proxy statement/prospectus on or before March 15, 2025, (iii) the Outside Date was revised to August 1, 2025, (iv) GrabAGun agreed that it will, as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement but no later than the Closing, obtain foreign qualifications to do business in each jurisdiction in which it reasonably determines it is required to do so, (v) Pubco and GrabAGun agreed to, as promptly as practicable after the Closing but no later than 30 days after the Closing, provide written notice to the ATF of a change of control and (vi) Pubco and GrabAGun also agreed to, as promptly as practicable after the date of Closing, designate a qualified individual as a Responsible Person, as such term is defined in by the ATF.

The Colombier Board was kept apprised on a regular basis by Colombier management of the status of negotiations with GrabAGun and, on January 5, 2025, the Colombier Board convened a virtual meeting to consider the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. At such meeting, EGS gave a presentation to the Colombier Board regarding (i) the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) the fiduciary duties of directors when considering whether to authorize a potential business combination transaction (incorporating prior input on fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law provided by Ogier (Cayman) LLP (“Ogier”), Cayman Islands legal counsel to Colombier. Colombier management, led by Mr. Nasser, presented to the Colombier Board its financial analysis of GrabAGun and the proposed terms of the business combination, including the results of Colombier management’s comparative analysis to applicable public peer companies (as further described under the heading “Colombier Financial Analysis”), based on information and materials shared with the Colombier Board prior to such meeting. After review and discussion, including questions from members of the Colombier Board posed to legal counsel and to Colombier management, the members of the Colombier Board agreed to approve the proposed final version of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and recommended that Colombier’s shareholders adopt and approve in all respects the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The Merger Agreement was also approved, prior to its execution, by all of the GrabAGun Members following their review of a substantially final draft of the Merger Agreement and execution of an unanimous written consent on December 13, 2024 to, among other things, authorize, adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby, and authorize and direct the officers of GrabAGun to further negotiate, execute and deliver the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

On January 6, 2025, Colombier, GrabAGun, Pubco and Company Merger Sub executed the Merger Agreement and the applicable Ancillary Agreements and issued a joint press release announcing the transaction. Since the date that the Merger Agreement was executed, the parties have held, and expect to continue to hold, regular discussions regarding the timing of consummating the Business Combination and various preparatory efforts in connection therewith. Subsequent to the original execution date of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser Merger Sub was formed and entered into a joinder agreement to become a party to the Merger Agreement.

Colombier Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

The Colombier Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the number and complexity of those factors, the Colombier Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. Individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. The Colombier Board viewed its decision as being a business judgment that was based on all of the information available to, and the factors presented to and considered by, the Colombier Board. Certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The Colombier Board did not obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination (including the consideration to be delivered to the GrabAGun Members under the terms of the Merger Agreement). Colombier management and the members of the Colombier Board have extensive experience evaluating eCommerce, tech-enabled services and other consumer-oriented businesses and the Board concluded that this experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination and its terms. The factors and information considered by the Colombier Board, as further described below, included industry and market information, certain guideline public company data and other relevant information selected based on the business experience and professional judgment of Colombier management. The independent directors of the Colombier Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated Colombier shareholders to negotiate the terms of the Business Combination and/or prepare a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

The Colombier Board, before reaching its unanimous decision that the Mergers and all of transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the consideration deliverable to GrabAGun Members thereunder) are fair, advisable and in the best interests of Colombier and to recommend the Business Combination to the Colombier shareholders, consulted with Colombier’s advisors and reviewed in detail information and analyses provided to the Colombier Board by Colombier management, as further described below. As Colombier management and the members of the Colombier Board have substantial experience evaluating the financial merits of companies across a wide range of industries, including eCommerce, tech-enabled services and other consumer-oriented businesses, the Colombier Board concluded that their experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the proposed Business Combination and its terms. The due diligence and analyses conducted by Colombier management and Colombier’s advisors included:

        meetings and calls with the management team and advisors of GrabAGun regarding, among other things, GrabAGun’s product offerings, platform operations and technology, vendor partner and other industry relationships, customer base and business plans;

        review of material contracts and other material matters;

        financial, tax, legal, cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, accounting, operational, business and other due diligence;

        review of unaudited historical financial statements and operating information;

109

Table of Contents

        consultation with GrabAGun management and its legal counsel, as well as certain industry partners;

        review of GrabAGun’s proprietary tech stack, platform scalability;

        financial analyses of GrabAGun, the Business Combination and the performance of certain public companies with similarities to the business of GrabAGun, based on publicly available information, as presented by Colombier management to the Colombier Board, as further described in the section entitled “— Colombier Financial Analysis” below.

At the conclusion of this process, the Colombier Board determined that while, like all business deals, the acquisition of GrabAGun presents potential risks, nevertheless pursuing a business combination with GrabAGun would overall be an attractive opportunity for Colombier and its shareholders for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, the belief that (1) particularly among younger and technically-inclined customers accustomed to buying products online, there is a robust addressable market for the firearms, ammunitions and related accessories products GrabAGun sells on its eCommerce platform; (2) GrabAGun’s technology-first approach and propriety tech stack differentiate the company from competitors and are scalable as the business grows; (3) enhanced digital marketing, customer outreach and publicity may result in a stronger and broader earned media presence, thereby expanding further awareness about GrabAGun and attracting more customers; and (4) GrabAGun can currently be acquired at an attractive valuation.

In addition, based on its review of information about GrabAGun and its business plans, together with the results of Colombier management’s financial analyses, as further described below, the factors considered by the Colombier Board included, but were not limited to, the following:

        Robust Addressable Market.    Company management believes the addressable market for GrabAGun’s product offerings, based on U.S. 2024 retail data, may have totaled as much as $25 billion. Further, amongst buyers of firearms, ammunitions and related accessories, buyers under age 45 appear to represent growing proportions of today’s 2A buyers, a trend GrabAGun management expects to continue and believes that the Company’s online, mobile-first platform is especially well-positioned to capture, as today’s buyers increasingly favor tech-forward experiences over more traditional retail transactions.

        Competitive eCommerce Model.    GrabAGun is positioned to be a leading U.S. mobile-focused firearms retail platform for the next generation of buyers. The largely fragmented collection of mom-and-pop and chain stores that has dominated the firearms retail space to date tend to have significantly less modern, if any, digital presence or eCommerce buying capabilities. By contrast, during the 12 months ended in October 2024, mobile sales represented approximately 60% of total GrabAGun customer transactions and an estimated 58% of Company revenues.

        Cash Flow Generative Business.    GrabAGun’s business is cash flow generative and, based on the unaudited financial information provided to the Colombier Board prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, as further described under the heading “Colombier Financial Analysis”, experienced year-over-year revenue growth of close to 10% during the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the twelve months ended September 30, 2023, while the number of NICS background checks during the same period declined by approximately 8%.

        Passionate Customers and Strong User Engagement.    GrabAGun’s eCommerce platform is designed to serve the new and next generations of American defenders of Second Amendment (“2A”) rights, outdoor enthusiasts and sportsmen. A mailing list of over 1.25 million and estimated e-mail “open rate” of approximately 32% (for the 12-month period ending October 2024) exemplify the engagement of GrabAGun’s user base with its platform. GrabAGun estimates that during the 12 months ended in October 2024, GrabAGun’s average e-mail order value (AOV) exceeded its general AOV by approximately $75 per order.

        Deep Industry Relationships and Extensive Product Offerings.    GrabAGun’s long-standing vendor partner relationships and multi-brand strategy enables the Company to offer over 77,000 firearms products, including leading brands and lesser-known alternatives. GrabAGun collaborates with its trusted manufacturers, suppliers and distributors to provide integrated inventory prediction, procurement and regulatory compliance capabilities, creating scalable efficiencies and streamlining order fulfilment. The

110

Table of Contents

Company has also assembled a nation-wide network of 42,000 federal firearms licensed dealers that carry out legally required background checks, when applicable, and where GrabAGun customers pick up firearms products.

        Scalable Tech Platform.    AI-enabled product listings, proprietary demand predication and automated procurement systems developed by GrabAGun create efficiencies in pricing, inventory and supply chain management that distinguish the Company from retailers with more traditional firearms supply chain models. The Company’s digitized serial number database, sophisticated address and ordering systems and eGunbook compliance system provide further scalable advantages over existing competitors.

        Potential Benefits from Business Combination.    While the timeline and certainty to consummate the proposed Business Combination cannot be predicted, GrabAGun’s 2A focus and digital and mobile platform make the company well-positioned to benefit from advantages that going public through a transaction with Colombier may offer, including the possibility that the company receives increased public attention and is able to access a broader network of potential customers.

        Multiple Avenues for Growth.    Enhanced marketing and customer outreach strategies and stronger earned media presence may improve GrabAGun’s market penetration and increase the Company’s user base. Additional growth opportunities for GrabAGun may include cross-selling via other marketplaces, broadening procurement channels and, in the future, longer-term acquisition and market consolidation opportunities.

        Management Continuity.    GrabAGun’s experienced management team, led by Chief Executive Officer Marc Nemati, plans to continue running the business after the Closing.

        Attractive Valuation.    The Colombier Board’s determination that, if GrabAGun is successful in achieving its goals, Colombier shareholders will have acquired their shares in Pubco at an attractive valuation based on the implied valuation of other guideline internet platform companies, as described under the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Guideline Company Analyses.”

        Terms and Conditions of the Merger Agreement.    The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination were, in the opinion of the Colombier Board, the product of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties.

        Continued Ownership by GrabAGun Members.    The Colombier Board considered that the GrabAGun Members are converting ownership interests in GrabAGun into Pubco in the proposed Business Combination and that the shares of Pubco Common Stock held by former GrabAGun Members after the Closing will be subject to lock-up restrictions described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        GrabAGun Being an Attractive Target.    The Colombier Board considered the fact that, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Colombier, the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun represents the most attractive opportunity based upon the process used to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets.

In the course of its deliberations, in addition to the various other risks associated with the business of GrabAGun, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Colombier Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative reasons relevant to the Business Combination, including the following:

        Business Plans May Not be Achieved.    GrabAGun’s business plans, including, without limitation, enhanced user engagement and digital marketing efforts, access to a broader network and customer base, potential cross-selling and other-market expansions, future identification of prospective acquisition targets and other areas may not be successful, or may take longer or be more costly to implement than anticipated, which may affect GrabAGun’s ability or the extent and timeline for GrabAGun to grow profitably.

        Readiness to be a Public Company.    As GrabAGun has not previously been a public company and its current management team has not managed a public company before, GrabAGun may not have all the different types of employees necessary for it to timely and accurately prepare financial statements and reports for filing with the SEC.

111

Table of Contents

        Competition.    GrabAGun, and the firearms, ammunitions and related products offered on its platform currently and in the future, compete with offerings of larger and better-capitalized companies and GrabAGun may not be able to compete with these larger or other companies, particularly if their digital and advertising capabilities expand or online product offerings improve.

        Macroeconomic Uncertainty.    Macroeconomic uncertainty could negatively impact GrabAGun’s revenues and financial performance.

        Consumer Preferences; Publicity.    Consumer spending habits are subject to personal tastes and preferences, which are susceptible to change and influence and negative publicity about GrabAGun, owning firearms, GrabAGun marketplace participants, or advisors, consultants, representatives, ambassadors, influencers or other persons who are currently or may in the future be associated with GrabAGun may deter platform engagement or sales.

        Regulated Industry; Litigation.    GrabAGun operates in a highly regulated industry and regulations applicable to the business may change over time and from time to time.    Additionally, it is possible that litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

        IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity.    As GrabAGun’s customer base and eCommerce platform capabilities continue to expand, GrabAGun may need to enhance certain aspects of its systems, technology and infrastructure to meet demands associated with scaling its platform and protecting its systems and user data of its customers from cybersecurity risks, which may be costly and time consuming and which may not prevent risk of loss of personal data or other impacts of cybersecurity incidents such as information theft, data corruption, loss of customers’ data or legal claims against the company.

        Valuation.    The risk that the Colombier Board may not have properly valued GrabAGun’s business and did not obtain a third-party valuation or independent fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination.

        Fees and Expenses.    The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

        Redemptions.    The risk that holders of Colombier Public Shares exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available in the Trust Account after satisfaction (or waiver, as applicable) of other conditions to consummating the Business Combination.

        Exchange Listing.    The potential inability to maintain the listing of Pubco’s securities on a national exchange following the Closing.

        Liquidation.    The risks and costs to Colombier if the Business Combination with GrabAGun is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in Colombier being unable to effect a business combination within the timeframe permitted by the Current Charter (or any other timeframe as may be approved by Colombier shareholders), which would require Colombier to liquidate.

        Conflicts of Interest.    The possibility that the Colombier Board may have been influenced by conflicts between what may be in Colombier’s best interests and what may be best for a director’s personal interests, including the possibility that if the Business Combination is not consummated, and Colombier is forced to liquidate because it is unable to consummate another business combination within the timeframe permitted by the Current Charter, the Class B Ordinary Shares and Private Warrants owned by the Sponsor would be worthless. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination.”

        Other Risks Factors.    Various other risk factors associated with the business of GrabAGun, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Colombier Board also considered that the Sponsor and certain officers and directors of Colombier may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of Colombier shareholders (see section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination”). In evaluating the conflicts of interest referenced above, the Colombier Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Colombier with any other target business or businesses, and (iii) the Sponsor will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco’s stock.

After considering the foregoing, the Colombier Board concluded, in its business judgment, that the potential benefits to Colombier and its shareholders relating to the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors and risks relating to the Business Combination

Colombier Financial Analysis

Guideline Company Analyses; Certain GrabAGun Information

GrabAGun does not maintain detailed financial projections to measure business performance and Colombier determined not to prepare, or to request that GrabAGun prepare, GrabAGun projections in connection with the proposed Business Combination. This determination was made due to the inherent uncertainty of aspects of forecasts generally, as well as it being difficult to predict the potential growth GrabAGun may experience in connection with and following the proposed Business Combination, assuming its consummation and successful implementation of the Company’s business plans. Accordingly, GrabAGun financial projections were not prepared by GrabAGun, Colombier or any third parties or provided to or relied upon by the Colombier Board in connection with its evaluation of GrabAGun. The Colombier Board did not obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination (including the consideration to be paid to GrabAGun Members under the terms of the Merger Agreement) in part because such opinions and reports ordinarily rely in part on the availability of detailed financial projections. Colombier management and the members of the Colombier Board have substantial experience evaluating the financial merits of companies across a variety of industries, including eCommerce, tech-enabled services and other consumer-oriented businesses, and the Board concluded that this experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. The Colombier Board’s evaluation of the proposed Business Combination was informed by Colombier management’s analysis of information about provided by GrabAGun about GrabAGun, its management team, product offerings and business relationships, historical financial and operating performance, eCommerce and technology capabilities, user engagement and customer outreach programs, together with industry and addressable market data (collectively, together with other information utilized in connection with Colombier’s evaluation of the potential Business Combination, the “GrabAGun Information”), as well as certain financial information about guideline public companies selected based on the GrabAGun Information and the experience and the professional judgment of Colombier’s management team, as further described below.

Specifically, Colombier management and the Colombier Board reviewed the Guideline Company Analyses prepared by Colombier management utilizing information provided by GrabAGun and publicly available information, as further described below. In the course of Colombier’s evaluation, GrabAGun prepared, as applicable, and provided to Colombier GrabAGun Information which included, among other materials, (i) certain GrabAGun historical unaudited financial and operating history information; (ii) information about GrabAGun’s existing user base and customer network (including, without limitation, regarding the Company’s existing e-mail and other outreach efforts, user engagement and comparative order values), (iii) technical information about components of GrabAGun’s eCommerce platform (including, among other elements, predictive inventory and procurement capabilities, AI-enhanced product listings, integrations with third-party databases, financing and payments capabilities) and its scalability and (iv) management’s business plans, including potential enhancements to the Company’s existing customer outreach and marketing strategies in connection with the proposed Business Combination and generally as well as other potential avenues for future growth, all of which helped form the basis for Colombier’s analysis of GrabAGun’s potential future valuation, and which the Colombier Board used in its review and approval of the terms of the Business Combination (including the consideration to be paid in the transaction to GrabAGun Members); provided, however,

that the future value that Colombier attributed to GrabAGun in its evaluation of GrabAGun’s business and approval of the Business Combination did not take into consideration forecasted financial results or specific predictions about GrabAGun’s future business plans, including, without limitation, potential expansions of GrabAGun’s user network or any acquisition or consolidation opportunities that GrabAGun may pursue in the future.

Forward-looking information, including information about future business plans, are susceptible to multiple interpretations and inherently reflect assumptions with respect to general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Colombier’s and GrabAGun’s control. None of Colombier management, GrabAGun management, or any of their respective representatives has made or makes any representations to any person regarding the ultimate performance of GrabAGun. Additionally, forward-looking information is inherently subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond GrabAGun’s control, may be significant and cannot be predicted. The various risks and uncertainties include those set forth in the “Risk Factors,” Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of GrabAGun” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections of this proxy statement/prospectus.

There can be no assurance that GrabAGun’s business plans will succeed, currently or in the future. Further, analyses by Colombier management, as presented to the Colombier Board and as described herein, were not and are not intended, and should not be construed or interpreted as, predictions, forecasts, estimates, guarantees, indications or statements of any kind regarding GrabAGun’s likely or actual future results of operations or financial performance. There can also be no assurance that the GrabAGun Information provided to Colombier was complete and accurate or that Colombier, in its assessment of GrabAGun, took into consideration all of the material facts, circumstances and contingencies affecting or that may in the future affect GrabAGun’s business, many of which are not in Colombier’s or GrabAGun’s control and cannot be predicted. After considering the GrabAGun Information and the Guideline Company Analyses, among other factors, positive and negative, as further described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Colombier Board concluded, in its business judgment, to recommend the proposed Business Combination to Colombier shareholders. It is possible, however, that the Colombier Board relied upon information that was incomplete or for any number of reasons does not accurately reflect GrabAGun or its business or the likelihood that Pubco, including the business of GrabAGun, will succeed as a public company after the Business Combination. For these, and any number of other reasons, it is possible that the Colombier Board did not value GrabAGun correctly or arrived at conclusions with which reasonable investors might disagree. Investors are encouraged to read carefully the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the GrabAGun financial information and the descriptions about various risks and uncertainties concerning GrabAGun’s business described herein, including under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of GrabAGun” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Guideline Company Analyses

In connection with its analysis of the proposed Business Combination, the Colombier Board reviewed the “Guideline Company Analyses” described below, which were prepared by Colombier management using publicly available Guideline Company data accessed January 2, 2025 (the “access date”) and presented to the Colombier Board. The Guideline Company Analyses incorporated Guideline Company forward year growth rate estimates and recent enterprise value and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) information derived from several public companies with attributes similar to GrabAGun (the “Guideline Companies”). Information about the Guideline Companies was then compared with growth rate and pro forma enterprise and EBITDA information about GrabAGun, as further described below.

Guideline Company Selection

The Guideline Company Analyses focused on a group of market-leading e-Commerce and tech-enabled services companies chosen for such analysis by Colombier management based on publicly available information accessed as of the access date. These Guidelines Companies — Mercado Libre, DoorDash, Carvana, Uber, Booking Holdings, Costco, Chewy, eBay, Etsy and Ammo, Inc. — were selected because they are publicly traded companies with operations and business models that, for purposes of this analysis, Colombier management considered to be sufficiently similar to GrabAGun’s business, though none of these businesses are the same as GrabAGun’s business and many of the Guideline Companies are more mature businesses than GrabAGun’s business currently. Similarities between the Guideline Companies’ and GrabAGun’s respective businesses include consumer retail or services companies operating digital and

114

Table of Contents

mobile platforms that appeal to younger cohorts and emphasize technology and accessibility. Colombier management opted to focus on these selected Guideline Companies, as opposed to smaller or more recently-listed businesses, because, at the time the Guideline Companies were selected, there were fewer such companies with eCommerce business models bearing similarities to GrabAGun’s business about which Colombier management could find credible reports and analyses through publicly-available sources. Although there are few firearms retailers which are U.S. listed public companies (with the scarcity of such companies being the reason Colombier management did not include other firearms retailers as Guideline Companies selected for its analyses), one Guideline Company, Ammo, Inc. (“Ammo”), which operates in the firearms and ammunitions sector and operates an eCommerce platform, was considered sufficiently similar to the GrabAGun’s business to include in the analysis; provided, however, that, among other differences, Ammo’s business includes manufacturing and product development, whereas GrabAGun only sells products manufactured by third parties. None of the Guideline Companies is identical to GrabAGun, or one another, and, other than Ammo, GrabAGun differs from the Guideline Companies in terms of the industry in which it operates, which is highly regulated and has associated media and advertising constraints that do not affect the businesses of the other Guideline Companies. Still, Colombier management determined, for the reasons described above, the businesses of the Guideline Companies to be sufficiently similar to GrabAGun’s business to utilize these companies for purposes of its analysis and opted to compare GrabAGun to these further scaled businesses with a profile that could be possible if GrabAGun’s business grows.

Guideline Company Data

Set forth in the table below are Guideline Company data used by Colombier management in the Guideline Company Analyses. The data include third-party generated one-year forward growth rates (“1YR FR Growth Rates”) obtained from publicly available Fact Set databases, as well as market cap, enterprise value and last twelve month EBITDA information derived from the most current Guideline Company financial information available as of the access date, which, in turn, used to derive “EV/LTM EBITDA” multiples, as further described below. In determining to use LTM EBITDA information, Colombier Management took into account, among other factors, the periods covered by the unaudited financial information GrabAGun provided to Colombier prior to the parties’ execution of the Merger Agreement as well as the fact that GrabAGun has historically been structured as a limited liability company.

GrabAGun Information

With regard to GrabAGun, Colombier management used historical financial information for calendar year provided by GrabAGun to Colombier as part of due diligence to derive a year-over-year historical (or backward-looking (“BW”)) growth rate (“1 YR BW Growth Rate”) for GrabAGun of approximately 9.2%, using Company unaudited information for the one-year periods ending September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. Specifically, Colombier management compared unaudited GrabAGun revenues for the one-year period ending September 30, 2024 (approximately $99.5 million) with unaudited GrabAGun revenues for the one-year period ending September 30, 2023 (approximately $91.1 million) (the foregoing unaudited historical revenue information, the “GrabAGun Historical Revenue Growth Rate Data”) to derive a year-over-year “backward-looking” historical growth rate for GrabAGun of approximately 9.2%. The GrabAGun Historical Revenue Growth Rate Data was derived from unaudited GrabAGun financial statements provided to Colombier as part of due diligence and, as there were no specific circumstances of which Colombier management was aware at the time the Guideline Company Analyses were prepared that caused Colombier to regard the historical unaudited GrabAGun revenue information provided by GrabAGun that was used to derive the 1 YR BW Growth Rate as inaccurate, Colombier management did not incorporate any assumptions into, or otherwise make any adjustments to, the financial information comprising the GrabAGun Historical Revenue Growth Rate Data as provided by GrabAGun to Colombier as part of due diligence. Colombier management and the Colombier Board were aware that the financial statements GrabAGun provided to Colombier in due diligence prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement were unaudited and that the information contained therein was therefore subject to the results of the PCAOB audit process; however, Colombier was comfortable utilizing the unaudited GrabAGun Historical Revenue Growth Rate Data to approximate the 1 YR BW Growth Rate for purposes of the Guideline Company Analyses, as further described below. The data points from GrabAGun unaudited financial information comprising the GrabAGun Historical Revenue Growth Rate Data were information as of one-year periods ending September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively, whereas the GrabAGun audited financial statements present information as of GrabAGun’s fiscal year end, which is December 31.

Table of Contents

Based on significant experience evaluating eCommerce, tech-enabled services and other consumer-oriented businesses, along with industry information and the information GrabAGun provided to Colombier in due diligence, Colombier management also determined that it would be reasonable to use GrabAGun’s 1 YR BR Growth Rate to approximate 1 YR FR Growth Rate for Pubco. Colombier management considered GrabAGun’s 1YR BR Growth rate a reasonable approximation of Pubco’s potential forward year growth rate because Colombier management was not, at the time the Guideline Analysis was prepared, aware of any specific circumstances that seemed likely to result in GrabAGun becoming unable sustain a growth rate similar to or greater than the Company’s 1 YR BR Growth Rate; additionally, the increased public attention and other potential benefits to GrabAGun associated with Business Combination, if any, may contribute to accelerated growth during the one-year forward growth period, subject, in all cases, to a wide variety of factors, known and unknown, many of which are not within Colombier or GrabAGun’s control, including those described in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of GrabAGun” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Relative to determining an estimated EV/LTM EBITDA multiple for GrabAGun, Colombier management utilized an estimated pro forma enterprise value of $196.5M, based on an approximation of Pubco’s enterprise value affected by the assumed consummation of the proposed Business Combination, resulting in $110M of proceeds to the Company, after satisfaction of expenses, to be added to an assumed additional $6M in cash retained on the Company’s balance sheet. $110M in proceeds from the proposed Business Combination was considered to be a reasonable amount based on the amount of funds in the Trust Account as of date the Merger Agreement was signed, as well as the terms of the proposed Business Combination; $6M cash on GrabAGun’s balance sheet is consistent with the approximate amount of cash on GrabAGun’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. Based on GrabAGun’s estimated EBITDA of $5M for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, derived from the unaudited historical information provided by GrabAGun to Colombier prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the EV/LTM EBITDA multiple for GrabAGun was 37.1x.

Comparative Analyses

Colombier considered the EV/LTM EBITDA multiple for GrabAGun derived from the terms of the proposed Business Combination and the GrabAGun Information provided to Colombier (including historical financial and operating information), as compared with the Guideline Companies’ EV/LTM EBITDA multiples, along with the results of the 1 YR FR Growth Rate analysis described above.

The Guideline Companies’ 1YR FR Growth Rates ranged from 24.6% (Mercado Libre), on the high end, to 2.7% (Etsy), on the low end (excluding Ammo), placing GrabAGun’s 1 YR BW Growth Rate of 9.2% between the median value (7.9%) and the upper quartile (16.8%) of the Guideline Companies’ 1 YR FR Growth Rates. GrabAGun’s estimated growth rate also far outpaced the negative 2.3% 1 YR FR Growth Rate estimated for Ammo, which also operates in the firearms industry and has an eCommerce marketplace with similarities to GrabAGun’s business.

Relative to EV/LTM EBITDA multiples, the Guideline Companies ranged from 11.2x (eBay), on the low end, to 234.3x (DoorDash), on the high end; no EV/LTM EBITDA multiple was generated for Ammo, which had negative earnings during the LTM period. GrabAGun’s 37.1x estimated EV/LTM EBITDA multiple, derived from terms of the proposed Business Combination, put the Company between the upper quartile (47.6x) and median (34.0x) values for the Guideline Companies.

Based on the foregoing, Colombier concluded that, in Colombier’s view, the valuation attributed to GrabAGun under the terms of the proposed Business Combination, including the consideration deliverable to GrabAGun Members under the Merger Agreement, is fair and appropriate and the Colombier Board, taking into account the foregoing and the other described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, determined to recommend the Business Combination and associated Proposals contained in this proxy statement/prospectus to Colombier shareholders.

In reviewing the results of the Guideline Companies Analysis, the Colombier Board recognized that no company included in the Guideline Companies group was identical to GrabAGun and that the group of Guideline Companies (i) are generally significantly larger and better capitalized than GrabAGun and have more established customer bases than GrabAGun does currently and (ii) operate or are involved in numerous business lines, most of which are in sectors or industries that are not similar to GrabAGun’s existing business. Still, Colombier management, in its professional experience, determined the Guideline Companies to have sufficient similarities to GrabAGun’s eCommerce platform to have analytical relevance, taking into account the significant differences between the business of most of the Guideline Companies and GrabAGun’s business, and amongst the Guideline Companies, none of which is identical to one another.

None of outcomes of the analyses carried out by Colombier management, including the Guideline Company Analyses, are intended or should be understood to represent, predictions or forecasts about GrabAGun’s actual future performance or operating results and no assurances can be made as to the success of GrabAGun’s future business activities or degree to which GrabAGun’s business, once further established or developed, will have a business model or achieve scale similar to any of the Guideline Companies.

A complete valuation analysis of GrabAGun cannot rely solely upon a quantitative review of the selected guideline public companies and involves complex considerations and judgments about which reasonable investors may differ concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors likely to affect the value of the Guideline Companies relative to that of GrabAGun. Therefore, the Guideline Company Analyses are also subject to certain other limitations, including, without limitation, those described in the “General Limitations” section below, which provides additional detail on judgments and assumptions made by Colombier as part of the Guideline Company Analyses. Further, investors are encouraged to read carefully the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the GrabAGun financial information and the descriptions about various risks and uncertainties concerning GrabAGun’s business described herein, including under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of GrabAGun” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Valuing a business involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant quantitative and qualitative methods of financial analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to summary description. The analyses performed by Colombier, particularly those based on estimates, are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses (nor are they intended to be, as further described under the

117

Table of Contents

heading “General Limitations” below). An analysis of publicly traded comparable companies is not mathematical; rather it involves complex considerations and judgments about which reasonable investors may differ concerning the differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the value of GrabAGun and the public trading values of the companies to which they were compared. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which any securities may trade at the present time or at any time in the future.

The Guideline Company Analyses described in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus includes certain illustrative estimates about GrabAGun and about the group of companies included in analysis (the “Guideline Comps Information”). The Guideline Comps Information should not be viewed as public guidance. The Guideline Comps Information were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or complying with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding projections or the published guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. None of GrabAGun’s, Pubco’s nor Colombier’s respective independent registered public accounting firms, nor any other independent accountants, has compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Guideline Comps Information included above, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability. Nonetheless, the Guideline Comps Information incorporated in the Colombier Financial Analyses is included in this proxy statement/prospectus because it was made available to the Colombier Board in connection with its review of the Merger Agreement and related transactions. Neither the Guideline Company Analyses nor any other aspect of the Colombier Financial Analyses is included in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce any Colombier shareholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting.

General Limitations

Colombier based its analyses about GrabAGun and its business, including the Guideline Company Analyses described above, on assumptions that Colombier management deemed reasonable, based on currently available information, including GrabAGun Information and assumptions concerning general business and economic conditions and industry-specific factors. None of the Colombier financial analyses purport to be appraisals, forecasts, predications, promises, guarantees (express or implied) or assessments of the likelihood of success of GrabAGun and its business. Actual facts and results may differ, potentially significantly, from assumptions incorporated into, or the results of, the Colombier Financial Analyses.

If the conditions required for GrabAGun to successfully further scale its business and continue to increase revenues and profitability are not achieved, or other intervening factors and events occur that prevent GrabAGun from increasing its network of users, capturing market share or otherwise operating its business successfully, many of which are outside of Colombier’s and GrabAGun’s control and cannot be predicted, then the value of Pubco and GrabAGun may be different (potentially materially) from the valuation attributed to GrabAGun in the proposed Business Combination, and GrabAGun many not be able to compete successfully with other businesses. The Colombier management analyses described in this proxy statement/prospectus are not intended to represent (and should not be construed or interpreted as) forecasts, predictions or guarantees as to the likelihood that GrabAGun will be able to achieve any particular financial or operating results or as any indication as to the timeline or likelihood that GrabAGun’s business or the business of Pubco will be successful, if at all, or the timeline, capital resources, budget and other factors that may impact GrabAGun’s achievement of its business plans and objectives.

In conducting its analyses, Colombier management considered the results of all its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any one analysis or factor. Colombier management arrived at its valuation range for GrabAGun based on the results of all analyses undertaken and assessed as a whole and believes that the totality of the factors considered and analyses performed by Colombier management in connection with its analyses operated collectively. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Colombier management in connection with the proposed Business Combination. Assessing the value of a business involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant quantitative and qualitative methods of financial analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to summary description. The analyses performed by Colombier management, particularly those based on estimates, are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. None of the public companies used in the Guideline Company Analyses described above are identical to GrabAGun and there are many differences between the businesses of the companies included in the Guideline Company Analysis and GrabAGun’s business. Accordingly, an analysis of publicly traded Guideline

118

Table of Contents

Companies is not mathematical; rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the value of GrabAGun and the public trading values of the companies to which they were compared. The analyses described herein do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which any securities may trade at the present time or at any time in the future. Colombier management’s assessment of GrabAGun’s valuation, as reflected in the Colombier Management Analyses described above, was just one of the many factors taken into consideration by the Colombier Board in determining to approve the Business Combination. Consequently, Colombier management’s analysis should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the Colombier Board.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under Colombier’s Current Charter and the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements that the business or assets acquired in Colombier’s initial business combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial business combination.

As of January 6, 2025, the date of the execution of the Merger Agreement, the balance of the funds in the Trust Account was approximately $177,760,375 (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $142,208,300. In reaching its conclusion that the Business Combination meets the 80% asset test, the Colombier Board looked at the $150 million pre-transaction equity value ascribed to GrabAGun under the terms of the proposed Business Combination. In determining whether this value represents the fair market value of GrabAGun, the Colombier Board considered the analyses and information described this section, including results of the Guideline Companies Analyses, and the fact that the purchase price for GrabAGun was the result of an arm’s length negotiation with GrabAGun, together with the other factors — positive and negative — as further described under the heading “Colombier Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” within the disclosure under the heading “Background of the Business Combination.” As a result, the Colombier Board concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired exceeds 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting discount and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). In light of the financial background and experience of the members of Colombier management team and the Colombier Board, the Colombier Board believes that the members of its management team and the Colombier Board are qualified to determine whether the Business Combination meets the 80% asset test. The Colombier Board did not seek or obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether the 80% asset test has been met.

Interests of Certain Colombier Persons in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Colombier Board to vote in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that Colombier’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a shareholder and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating Colombier. These interests include, among other things, the fact that:

When you consider the recommendation of the Colombier Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals, Colombier shareholders should keep in mind that Colombier’s Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a shareholder and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating Colombier. These interests include, among other things, the fact that:

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 4,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares referred to as the Sponsor Shares (which, upon consummation of an initial business combination or earlier, in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter, will or may be converted into Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares) held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will be worthless because the holders thereof entered into an agreement waiving entitlement to participate in

119

Table of Contents

any redemption or liquidating distributions with respect to such shares. Neither the Sponsor nor any other person received any compensation in exchange for this agreement to waive redemption and liquidation rights. Pursuant to terms of the Insider Letter, the Sponsor Shares are subject to a lock-up whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Sponsor Shares are not transferable until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or (B) subsequent to Colombier’s initial business combination, the date on which Pubco consummates a transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other properties; provided, however, that if the Insider Letter Amendments Proposal is approved by Colombier shareholders when presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, the foregoing lock-up terms will be amended as set forth in such proposal, upon the effectiveness of the Insider Letter Amendments at the Closing. In this regard, while the Sponsor Shares are not the same as the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, and may become worthless if Colombier does not complete a business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the aggregate value of the 4,250,000 Sponsor Shares owned by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $45.0 million, assuming the per share value of the Sponsor Shares is the same as the $10.58 closing price of the Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the Business Combination or another Colombier initial business combination is not consummated by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), Colombier will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. In such event, the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor (or any permitted distributees thereof, as applicable) will expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the Private Warrants at an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, or $1.00 per warrant, with each whole Private Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Colombier Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, in the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Insider Letter, the Private Warrants and all of their underlying securities, are also subject to lock-up restrictions whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Private Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days after Colombier has completed a business combination. In this regard, while the Private Warrants are not the same as the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 5,000,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $3.5 million, assuming the per warrant value of a Private Warrant is the same as the $0.7011 closing price of the Public Warrants on the NYSE on March 14, 2025;

        that if the proposed Business Combination is consummated, immediately after the Closing the Sponsor is anticipated to hold 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock, based on the assumptions set forth in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”, which also incorporate relevant assumptions further described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” and 5,000,000 warrants, assuming, among other assumptions further described in aforementioned sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, no redemptions of Public Shares and no exercise of Public Warrants or Private Warrants prior to or in connection with the proposed Business Combination;

        that, based on the difference in the effective purchase price of $0.006 per share paid for the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, and $1.00 per warrant paid for the Private Warrants, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor and its members may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the unredeeming unaffiliated Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination;

        that if, prior to the Closing, the Sponsor provides working capital loans to Colombier, up to $1,500,000 of which may be convertible into Private Warrants at the option of the Sponsor, such loans may not be repaid if no business combination is consummated and Colombier is forced to liquidate; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding;

120

Table of Contents

        that unless Colombier consummates an initial business combination, it is possible that Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them, to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available funds not deposited in the Trust Account or from Permitted Withdrawals (provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Colombier’s officers and directors have not incurred (nor are any of them expecting to incur) out-of-pocket expenses exceeding such funds available to Colombier for reimbursement thereof, but provided, further, that if any such expenses are incurred prior to consummation of the Business Combination, Colombier’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may not receive reimbursement therefor if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated);

        that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Colombier is unable to complete an initial business combination by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders), the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Colombier, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Colombier or a prospective target business with which Colombier has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, to less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets less Permitted Withdrawals, provided, however, that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under Colombier’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

        that the Sponsor and Colombier’s officers and directors may benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate;

        that under the terms of the Services and Indemnification Agreement, Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer are collectively entitled to aggregate payments of $60,000 per month until the earlier to occur of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation, payable through OJJA, an affiliate of the Sponsor;

        that, under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support services until the earlier of the completion of Colombier’s initial business combination or its liquidation;

        that Colombier’s directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; and

        that the Sponsor has invested an aggregate of $5,025,000 (consisting of $25,000 for the Sponsor Shares and $5,000,000 for the Private Warrants), which means that the Sponsor, following the Merger, if consummated, may experience a positive rate of return on such investments, even if other Colombier shareholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment.

In addition to the interests of the Sponsor and Colombier’s executive officers and directors in the Business Combination, Colombier shareholders should be aware that the IPO Underwriter (BTIG) as well as Roth, in its capacity as financial advisor to Colombier in connection with the IPO, may also have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Colombier shareholders, including the fact that:

        pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the IPO Underwriter may receive deferred underwriting fees in an amount equal to up to $0.35 per Unit issued in the IPO, or $5,950,000, and such fees are payable only if Colombier completes an initial business combination. Up to $0.30 per Unit of the $0.35 at the sole discretion of Colombier may be reallocated for expenses in connection with its initial business combination and working capital needs post the initial business combination, after the satisfaction of redemptions in connection with an initial business combination. Any such reduction of the deferred underwriting fee will also reduce proportionately the amount payable to Roth under the Financial Advisory Services Agreement described below;

121

Table of Contents

        pursuant to the Financial Advisory Services Agreement, Roth may receive a deferred fee of up to $1,190,000, or such other amount as Roth and Colombier have agreed, as permitted by the terms of the Roth IPO Advisory Agreement, and such fees are payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth may receive a fee of $1,000,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination;

        pursuant to the Roth Engagement Letter, Roth is entitled to reimbursement of the Roth Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $5,000, and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated;

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG may receive a fee of $1,500,000, and such fee is payable at the closing of the Business Combination only if Colombier completes an initial business combination; and

        pursuant to the BTIG Engagement Letter, BTIG is entitled to reimbursement of the BTIG Reimbursable Expenses up to a total aggregate amount of $25,000 (provided that the BTIG Engagement Letter is not earlier terminated in accordance with its terms by BTIG for convenience or Colombier for cause), and such reimbursement is payable only if the Business Combination is consummated.

In addition, Colombier’s executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations to the following other entities. Colombier does not believe that the pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its executive officers and directors materially impacted its decision to enter into the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun:

Except as set forth above, no compensation was paid to the Sponsor, or to Colombier executive officers or directors, for services rendered to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these persons may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses (if any) incurred in connection with activities on Colombier’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Further, the Sponsor will receive Pubco shares in exchange of Colombier shares that it owns and Pubco Warrants in respect of the Private Warrants the Sponsor owns at the Closing of the Business Combination. The issuance of these securities to be may result in material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming Public Shareholders. See “Questions and Answers about the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — Q: What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant hold in Pubco immediately after the Closing?”

Other than arising out of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and as described under “Involvement or past performance by consultants, advisors, influencers, brand ambassadors and other Persons involved with GrabAGun or Pubco, including members of their respective boards of directors, managers, consultants, advisors and other Persons, some or all of whom are public figures, may not be indicative of the future performance of GrabAGun and Pubco and you should assess the merits of GrabAGun’s business independently and be prepared to lose your entire investment.” In the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”, none of Colombier, the Sponsor, or their respective affiliates had any interest in, or affiliation with, GrabAGun. The existence of the differing, additional and/or conflicting interests described above may have influenced the decision of Colombier’s officers and directors to enter into the Merger Agreement and Colombier’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. In particular, the existence of the interests described above may incentivize Colombier’s officers and directors to complete an initial business combination, even if on terms less favorable to Colombier Public Shareholders compared to liquidating Colombier, because, among other things, if Colombier is liquidated without completing an initial business combination, the Sponsor Shares and Private Warrants would be worthless (which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be worth an aggregate of approximately $48.5 million based on the closing price of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares and Colombier Public Warrants on March 14, 2025), unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses advanced by the Sponsor and any loans made by the Sponsor to Colombier, to the extent applicable, would not be repaid to the extent such amounts exceed cash held by Colombier outside of the Trust Account and Permitted Withdrawals (none of which such expenses or loans have been incurred or are outstanding, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus). Upon completion of the Business Combination, it is not anticipated that any member of Colombier management or the Colombier Board will be employed by or provide services to Pubco, and there have been no conversations regarding the same.

Vote of the Sponsor

Pursuant to the Insider Letter, each of the Sponsor and Colombier’s directors and officers agreed to vote any Colombier Ordinary Shares, including the Sponsor Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO, owned by them in favor of an initial business combination of Colombier. Each has also waived any redemption rights, including with respect to the Sponsor Shares and any Public Shares they hold, in connection with the proposed Business Combination. The Sponsor Shares held by the Sponsor are not entitled to redemption rights upon SPAC’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders). However, the Sponsor and Colombier’s directors and officers are entitled to redemption rights upon Colombier’s liquidation with respect to any Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares they may acquire from the public market if no business combination is effected by February 24, 2026 (or such other date as approved by the Colombier shareholders).

Table of Contents

Consideration Received or to be Received, and Securities Issued or to be Issued, by or to the Sponsor

Colombier’s Sponsor, Colombier Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its affiliates have received or may receive the following consideration from Colombier prior to or in connection with the completion by Colombier of an initial business combination in accordance with the terms of Colombier’s governing documents (including upon the Closing of the proposed Business Combination with GrabAGun):

 

Interest in Securities

 

Other Consideration

Sponsor

 

At Closing, the Sponsor will hold a total of 4,250,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock, which will be issued in exchange for Colombier Class B ordinary shares purchased by the Sponsor prior to Colombier’s IPO for an aggregate price of $25,000 (or $0.006 per share).

 

Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, receives $10,000 per month for services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $150,000 has been paid under the Administrative Services Agreement, with any accrued and unpaid amounts to be paid at consummation of an initial business combination.

Sponsor

 

At Closing, the Sponsor will hold a total of 5,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Pubco Common Stock, which will be issued in exchange for Colombier Private Warrants purchased by the Sponsor at the time of Colombier’s IPO for an aggregate price of $5,000,000 (or $1.00 per warrant).

 

OJJA LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is paid $60,000 per month for the services of Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to the Services and Indemnification Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $860,000 has been paid under the Services and Indemnification Agreement, with any accrued and unpaid amounts to be paid at consummation of an initial business combination.

Sponsor

 

If any such loans are issued by the Sponsor and remain unpaid prior to Closing, up to $1,500,000 of working capital loans by the Sponsor to Colombier, which may be convertible into Private Warrants at the Closing, would, if not so converted, be repaid (or converted) at the Closing; provided, however, that, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such working capital loans outstanding.

 

Reimbursement for any unpaid out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination (provided, however, that as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such expenses for which reimbursement at the Closing is expected).

Because the Sponsor acquired the Sponsor Shares at a nominal price, the holders of non-redeeming Public Shares will incur an immediate and substantial dilution at the Closing and will incur additional dilution upon the exercise of the warrants held by the Sponsor, Additional detailed information about the potential dilutive impact of interests held by the Sponsor and Colombier’s directors and officers is contained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including in the sections entitled: “Questions and Answers About the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, GrabAGun Members and the GrabAGun Consultant hold in Pubco immediately after the Closing?” and “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Colombier’s Sponsor, Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination”.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although Colombier will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of GrabAGun in the Business Combination, Colombier will be treated as the “acquired” company and GrabAGun will be treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of GrabAGun issuing stock for the net assets of Colombier, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Colombier will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of GrabAGun.

124

Table of Contents

GrabAGun has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances with regard to Pubco immediately after the Closing, applicable to both the “no redemptions” and “contractual maximum” redemption scenarios:

        Effective upon the Closing, the Pubco Board will consist of nine (9) directors, a majority of whom will be designees of GrabAGun.

        The executive officers of GrabAGun will become the initial executive officers of Pubco.

        The assets of GrabAGun will represent a significant majority of the assets of Pubco (excluding cash formerly held in the Trust Account); and

        Immediately after the Closing, Pubco’s business will be the continued business of GrabAGun, focusing on its core operations as a retailer specializing in firearms, ammunition, and related accessories.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares

In connection with the shareholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor, directors, officers, or advisors or their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares from shareholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Such a purchase would include a contractual acknowledgement that such a shareholder, although still the record holder of Colombier’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and would include a contractual provision that directs such shareholder to vote such shares in favor of the proposals presented at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. In the event that the Sponsor or directors, officers or advisors or their affiliates of Colombier purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of Colombier’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

The purpose of such purchases would be to increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination and other proposals or, where the purchases are made by the Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates, to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement related to the Business Combination.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless notifications have been given and information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the FTC and certain statutory waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is not subject to these requirements.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, the DOJ and the FTC could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination, to rescind the Business Combination or to conditionally permit completion of the Business Combination subject to regulatory conditions or other remedies. In addition, non-U.S. regulatory bodies and U.S. state attorneys general could take action under other applicable regulatory laws as they deem necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent the completion of the Business Combination or permitting completion subject to regulatory conditions. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the DOJ, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, there can be no assurance as to its result. Neither Colombier nor GrabAGun is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination.

THE MERGER PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 2)

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, Colombier’s shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, by special resolution, the Colombier Merger and the Plan of Merger. The form of the Plan of Merger is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, approval of Colombier’s shareholders is required for the authorization of the Plan of Merger, including, without limitation:

(i)     the amendment and restatement of the Current Charter by deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the new amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Colombier (as the surviving entity); and

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that Colombier be authorized to merge with Purchaser Merger Sub so that Colombier be the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”) and all the undertaking, property, and liabilities of Colombier and Purchaser Merger Sub vest in the Surviving Company by virtue of such merger pursuant to the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Colombier Merger”) and the plan of merger in connection with the Colombier Merger, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B (the “Plan of Merger”), be approved and Colombier be authorized to enter into the Plan of Merger, and any and all transactions provided for in the Plan of Merger, including, without limitation, at the effective time of the Colombier Merger (the “Effective Time”) (a) the amendment and restatement of the Colombier Articles by deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the new amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Colombier (as the surviving entity) (the “Surviving Entity Articles”) and (b) the redesignation of all authorized class A ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each of Colombier as ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each of the surviving entity, and the cancellation all of the authorized but unissued class B ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each and the preference shares of $0.0001 par value each of Colombier, such that the authorized share capital of the surviving entity will be $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such rights, privileges and conditions as set out in the Surviving Entity Articles; and (c) the change of name of Colombier from Colombier Acquisition Corp. II to GAG Surviving Corporation, Inc., be approved and authorized in all respects.”

Votes Required for Approval

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Merger Proposal will not be presented at the extraordinary general meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and will have no effect on any of the proposals.

THE CHARTER PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 3)

If the Business Combination is to be consummated, Pubco will adopt the Proposed Charter in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C, which, in the judgment of the Colombier Board, is necessary to adequately address the needs of Pubco following the Closing. Concurrent with the adoption of the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D will also be adopted.

The following table sets forth a summary of the principal differences between the Current Charter and the Proposed Charter. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Charter, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Charter in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

The Current Charter authorizes 551,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 550,000,000 ordinary shares, including (i) 500,000,000 Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 50,000,000 Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares, and (b) 1,000,000 Colombier Preference Shares.

 

The Proposed Charter increases the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock to 210,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, each having a par value of $0.0001 per share.

   

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no Colombier Preference Shares are outstanding.

 

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we expect there will be approximately 31,550,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding, assuming that there are no redemptions of any shares by Colombier’s public shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Following consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco is not expected to have any preferred stock outstanding.

Purpose

 

The Current Charter provides that the objects for which Colombier is established are unrestricted and Colombier shall have full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

The Proposed Charter provides that the purpose of Pubco is for the transaction of any and all lawful business for which a for-profit corporation may be organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”).

Voting

 

The Current Charter provides that holders of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares and holders of Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class on all matters (subject to the Variation of Rights of Shares Article, the Appointment and Removal of Directors Article, and the Transfer by Way of Continuation Article). Each Colombier Ordinary Share will have one vote on all such matters. If the share capital of Colombier is divided into different classes, the rights of such a class may not be varied except by a vote of that affected class, which shall not be less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class or by consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the

 

Except as otherwise required by law or the charter of Pubco, holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders and shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock and held of record by such holder as of the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote on such matter.

Except as otherwise required by law, holders of common stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Proposed Charter (including any filed certificate of designation) that relates solely to the designation, powers, preferences and relative participation, optional or other rights, if any, or other terms of one or more outstanding series

issued shares of that class (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Class B Ordinary Share Conversion Article, which shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares).

An Ordinary Resolution under Cayman Islands law, requires a resolution being passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by the holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. A Special Resolution under Cayman Islands law requires a resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes (subject to a higher threshold being included in the company’s Charter) which are cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a Special Resolution has been given. Both an Ordinary Resolution and a Special Resolution include a unanimous written resolution.

 

of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Proposed Charter (including any filed certificate of designation) or pursuant to the TBOC.

Under the TBOC, certain matters subject to a shareholder vote, including amendments to the Proposed Charter, dissolution and “fundamental business transactions” such as mergers, interest exchanges, conversions or sales of substantially all assets, require a default vote of 2/3 of the shareholders of each class, unless the charter specifies a lower voting threshold. The Proposed Charter contains language setting the default voting thresholds at a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter standard, including for “fundamental business transactions”, unless a different standard is specified elsewhere. The Proposed Bylaws contain language setting the default voting thresholds at a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter standard for “fundamental business transactions” and provide that in all matters other than a fundamental business transaction or a contested election of directors, the voting threshold is the affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding shares of stock present in person or proxy at a shareholders meeting having a quorum and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

Duration of Existence

 

The Current Charter provides that if Colombier fails to complete a business combination within 24 months from the consummation of the IPO (or within 27 months from the consummation of the IPO if Colombier has executed, within 24 months from the consummation of the IPO, a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a business combination), or such earlier time as the directors may approve in accordance with the Current Charter, it will be required to: (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

 

The Proposed Charter omits the liquidation provision in the Current Charter and retains the default of perpetual existence under the TBOC.

in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Colombier (net of Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders of Colombier (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining Colombier shareholders and the Colombier Board, liquidate and dissolve subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

   

Provisions Specific to a Blank Check Company

 

Under the Current Charter, Article 49 sets forth various provisions related to our operations as a blank check company prior to the consummation of an initial business combination.

 

The Proposed Charter omits the provisions previously included as Article 49 in the Current Charter in their entirety because, upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will not be a blank check company. In addition, the provisions requiring that the proceeds from the Offering be held in a trust account until a business combination or liquidation of Colombier and the terms governing Colombier’s consummation of a proposed business combination will not be applicable following consummation of the Business Combination and thus will be omitted.

Amendment to Current Charter

 

Under the Current Charter, Article 18.3 provides that subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the provisions of the Charter as regards to matters to be dealt with by Ordinary Resolution and Article 29.4 (relating to the Appointment and Removal of Directors prior to the consummation of a business combination), the Colombier may by Special Resolution alter or add to the Charter. The Current Charter requires a separate or specific vote for the following amendments to the Charter prior to the consummation of the initial business combination:

   Article 29.1 (relating to the appointment and removal of directors prior to the closing of a business combination) may only be amended by a Special Resolution

 

The Proposed Charter requires a separate or specific vote for:

   Amendments that relate solely to the rights, powers, preferences (or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) or other terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon;

   Amendments to the provisions of the Proposed Charter related to amendments to the Proposed Bylaws, the size of the Board of Directors, the classification of the Board of Directors, the

passed by at least 90% of such members as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a Special Resolution has been given, or by way of unanimous written resolution.

   Article 47.1 (relating to the transfer by way of continuation prior to the closing of a business combination) may only be amended by a Special Resolution which shall include the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the Class B Shares.

 

appointment and removal of directors, the inability of shareholders to act by written consent (unless unanimous) and the authority to call special meetings of shareholders require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of Pubco entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class;

   Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, amendments increasing or decreasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Pubco entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of the provisions of Section 21.364(d) of the TBOC, and no vote of the holders of the Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor; and

   Amendments to the provisions of the Proposed Charter related to the limitation of director liabilities shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of Pubco in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment.

Appointment of Directors

 

Under the Current Charter, Colombier may by ordinary resolution of the holders of the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares appoint any person to serve as a director. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the closing of a business combination, holders of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares shall have no right to vote on the appointment or removal of any director.

 

At Pubco’s annual meeting, the shareholders elect directors, each of whom shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation, death, disqualification or removal. When a quorum is present, the vote required for election of a director shall be by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

Proposed Charter

Board of Directors Vacancies

 

Under the Current Charter, vacancies on the Board occurring between annual and extraordinary general meetings can only be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

 

The Proposed Charter provides that, except as otherwise required by the TBOC, director vacancies shall be filled only (1) by a vote of a majority of the remaining members of the board of directors (even if less than a quorum) or (2) by a sole remaining director. Additionally, the Pubco Board may not fill more than two vacancies caused by an increase in the size of the board of directors during the period between any two successive annual meetings of shareholders, and any directors appointed or elected by the board of directors or shareholders to fill a vacancy can only serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders (or special meeting called to elect directors).

Composition of the Board of Directors

 

Under the Current Charter, Article 27 sets out the composition of the Board of Directors, dividing the board into three (3) classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, and designated Class I, Class II and Class III.

 

The Proposed Charter does not provide for a classified board.

Removal of Directors

 

Under the Current Charter, Colombier may by ordinary resolution of the holders of the Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares remove any director. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the closing of a business combination, holders of Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares shall have no right to vote on the appointment or removal of any director.

 

The Proposed Charter provides that directors may be removed only for cause, at a shareholder meeting called for that purpose, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Pubco entitled to vote thereon.

Except as applicable law otherwise provides for purposes of the Proposed Charter, “cause” for the removal of a director will be deemed to exist only if the director whose removal is proposed: (i) has been convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction (and that conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal); (ii) has been found to have been grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct in the performance of his duties to Pubco in any matter of substantial importance to Pubco by (a) the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the directors then in office at any meeting of

Current Charter

 

Proposed Charter

       

the Pubco Board called for that purpose or (b) a court of competent jurisdiction (and that finding is no longer subject to direct appeal); or (iii) has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be mentally incompetent, which mental incompetency directly affects his ability to serve as a director of Pubco.

Action by Written Consent

 

The Current Charter provides that a resolution to be passed either as an Ordinary Resolution or a Special Resolution at a general meeting, also includes a unanimous written resolution of the shareholders of the Company.

 

Under the TBOC, shareholders are required to have the option to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting, and so the Proposed Charter provides that, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, shareholders may act by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Calling of Special Shareholder Meetings

 

The Current Charter provides that the directors, the chief executive officer or the chairman of the board of directors of the Company may call general meetings, and that the shareholders shall not have the ability to call general meetings.

Shareholders who, at the date of deposit of a requisition, hold not less than ten per cent in par value of the issued shares in the capital of the Company which as at that date carry the right to vote, may requisition a general meeting provided such requisition states the objects of the meeting and is signed by the requisitionists. If the directors do not within 21 days from the date of deposit of the requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further 21 days, the requisitionists (or any of them representing more than half of the total voting rights of all of the requisitionists) may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall be held no later than the day which falls three months after the expiration of the said 21 day period.

 

The Proposed Charter provides that special shareholder meetings may be called by the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer, the president, or by shareholders holding 50% (or the highest percentage of ownership that may be set under the TBOC) of the shares entitled to vote on the proposed action of such meeting. Under the TBOC, the president of a corporation is required to have the right to call a shareholder meeting as are shareholders holding a specified percentage of the shares entitled to vote at such meeting. We have acknowledged that statutory right in the Proposed Charter.

Indemnification

 

The Current Charter provides that a director or officer of Colombier shall be indemnified out of the assets of Colombier against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act

 

The Proposed Charter authorizes the indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Texas law as it exists or may be amended from time to time.

or failure to act in carrying out their functions as a director or officer, as applicable, unless such liability (if any) that they may incur arises through that person’s actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default.

   

Limitation on Liability

 

The Current Charter provides that a director or officer of Colombier shall be indemnified out of the assets of Colombier against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages, or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions as a director or officer, as applicable, unless such liability (if any) that they may incur arises through that person’s actual fraud, willful neglect, or willful default.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC and appliable law, a director of Pubco will not be liable to Pubco or its shareholders for monetary damages for any act or omission in the director’s capacity as a director, including for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

To the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC and applicable law, as the same exists as of the effective date of the Proposed Charter or may thereafter be amended from time to time, if the TBOC is amended after the effective date of the Proposed Charter to authorize such, an officer of Pubco will not be liable to Pubco or its shareholders for monetary damages for any act or omission in the officer’s capacity as an officer, including for a breach of fiduciary duty as an officer. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the TBOC does not provide for such officer exculpation.

Waiver of Jury Trial

 

The Current Charter does not contain a waiver of trial by jury.

 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE TBOC AND APPLICABLE LAW, AS THE SAME EXISTS OR MAY HEREAFTER BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, EACH SHAREHOLDER, EACH OTHER PERSON WHO ACQUIRES AN INTEREST IN ANY STOCK OF PUBCO AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO IS BOUND BY THE PROPOSED CHARTER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY CONCERNING ANY “INTERNAL ENTITY CLAIM” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 2.115 OF THE TBOC. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, THE TBOC DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR SUCH WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IF THE TBOC IS AMENDED AFTER

ANY PERSON OR ENTITY PURCHASING OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRING ANY INTEREST IN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF PUBCO WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE NOTICE OF, AND KNOWINGLY AND INFORMEDLY CONSENTED AND ACQUIESCED TO, SUCH WAIVER PROVISIONS.

Corporate Opportunities

 

To the extent allowed by law, no individual serving as a director or officer of Colombier shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. Colombier renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of Colombier will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to Colombier.

 

Subject to the limitations of the TBOC and applicable law, the Proposed Charter will, among other things, provide that (i) a director on the Pubco Board shall have no duty to refrain from competing directly or indirectly with Pubco and (ii) if any director on the Pubco Board becomes aware of a potential business opportunity, transaction or other matter (other than one expressly offered to that director solely in his or her capacity as Pubco’s director), that director will have no duty to communicate or offer that opportunity to Pubco, and in each case such director shall not be liable to Pubco or its shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty.

Choice of Forum

 

The Current Charter provides that unless Colombier consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the Cayman Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with the amended and restated memorandum of association of Colombier, the amended and restated articles of association of Colombier, or otherwise related in any way to each Colombier shareholder’s shareholding in Colombier, including but not limited to (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Colombier, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of any fiduciary or other duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of Colombier to Colombier or Colombier shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Act, the amended and restated memorandum of association of Colombier, or the amended and restated articles of association of Colombier, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against Colombier governed by the “Internal Affairs Doctrine” (as such concept is recognized under the laws of the United States of America).

 

Unless Pubco consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Proposed Charter sets forth that the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on its behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of its current or former directors, officers, or other employees to Pubco or its shareholders, including a claim alleging the aiding and abetting of such a breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Pubco or any current or former director, officer or other employee of Pubco arising pursuant to any provision of the TBOC, or the certificate of formation or bylaws, (iv) any other action asserting a claim related to or involving Pubco that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (v) any action asserting an “internal entity claim” as that term is defined in the TBOC, shall be the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Texas Federal Court”) or, if the Texas Federal Court lacks jurisdiction for such action, the Texas Business Court in the First Business Court Division (the “Texas Business Court”) of the State of Texas (or, if the Texas Business Court is not then accepting filings or determines that it lacks jurisdiction for such action, a Texas state district court of Dallas County, Texas). The Proposed Charter also provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Table of Contents

In the judgment of the Colombier Board, the Proposed Charter is necessary to address the needs of Pubco following the Closing. In particular:

        The greater number of authorized shares of capital stock is desirable for Pubco to have sufficient shares to complete the Business Combination. Additionally, the Colombier Board believes that it is important for Pubco to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares sufficient to support its growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions). The shares would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans, pursuant to which Pubco may provide equity incentives to employees, officers and directors. The Colombier Board believes that these additional shares will provide Pubco with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances it considers favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining shareholder approval for a particular issuance.

        The change in purpose, the change in duration of existence, and the deletion of provisions specific to a blank check company, are necessary to adequately address the needs of Pubco following the Closing. The elimination of certain provisions related to being a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination.

        The Colombier Board believes the choice of forum provision is desirable to delineate matters for which the Texas Federal Courts, the Texas Business Court or the Texas state district court, as applicable, is the sole and exclusive forum, in order that Pubco is not subject to such types of claims in numerous jurisdictions, unless Pubco consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that adoption by Pubco of the (i) Proposed Charter, in the form attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C, and (ii) the Proposed Bylaws, in form attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D, each to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, be confirmed, ratified and approved.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Charter Proposal does not require the passing of a resolution under the Current Charter or Cayman Islands law. Notwithstanding this, the Colombier Board is asking the Colombier shareholders to approve the Charter Proposal by ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and will have no effect on any of the proposals.

The adoption of the Charter Proposal is conditioned upon the adoption of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal.

THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS (PROPOSALS 4-9)

In connection with the Business Combination, Colombier is asking its shareholders to vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, proposals to approve certain governance provisions contained in the Proposed Charter. The shareholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory votes, and are not binding on Pubco or the Pubco Board. In the judgment of the Colombier Board, these provisions are necessary to adequately address the needs of Pubco. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Proposal).

Colombier shareholders will be asked to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the following material differences between the Proposed Charter and the Current Charter, which are being presented as six two separate sub-proposals (“The Organizational Documents Proposals”):

(a)     Organizational Documents Proposal 4: to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter that increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of Pubco to 210,000,0000 shares, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated Pubco preferred stock.

(b)    Organizational Documents Proposal 5: to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter providing that directors can only be removed for cause at a meeting called for such purpose by the affirmative vote of the shareholders representing at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of the outstanding Pubco shares entitled to vote thereon.

(c)     Organizational Documents Proposal 6: to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter providing that (A) special meetings of shareholders may only be called by (i) shareholders representing ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) (or the highest percentage of ownership that may be set under the TBOC) of the voting power of outstanding Pubco shares entitled to vote at such meeting or (ii) by the Pubco Board or by the Pubco Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, or (to the extent required by the TBOC) President; and (B) to allow shareholders to act by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding series of Pubco preferred stock, in accordance with TBOC requirements.

(d)    Organizational Documents Proposal 7: to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Bylaws that increase the threshold for a quorum for any meeting of Pubco shareholders to the number of shareholders, present in person or by proxy, holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote at such meeting.

(e)     Organizational Documents Proposal 8: to approve provisions to be included in the Proposed Charter that set the threshold of shareholder votes required to approve a “fundamental business transaction” (as such term is defined in the Texas Business Organizations Code, as amended (“TBOC”), including transactions such as a merger, interest exchange, conversion, or non-ordinary course sale of all or substantially all of Pubco’s assets) to a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter.

(f)     Organizational Documents Proposal 9: to approve the omission from the terms of the Proposed Charter of certain blank check provisions that will not be necessary to include in the Proposed Charter upon consummation of the Business Combination.

In the judgment of the Board, the variations between the Current Charter and the Proposed Charter are desirable for the following reasons:

        the greater number of authorized number of shares of capital stock is desirable for Pubco to have enough additional authorized shares for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits and to issue upon exercise of the equity grants made under the Incentive Plan (assuming the Incentive Plan is approved at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and contingent upon the Closing); and

138

Table of Contents

        it is desirable to omit the provisions that relate to operation as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination because they would not be applicable after the Business Combination (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated within a certain period of time).

The approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals requires a majority of the votes cast on such Proposal by the holders of the Colombier Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting, voting together as a single class.

A copy of the Proposed Charter, as will be in effect and upon consummation of the Business Combination and filing with the Texas Secretary of State, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as ordinary resolutions, that:

(i)     the authorized shares of capital stock of Pubco be increased to 210,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock; and

(ii)    certain blank check provisions that will no longer be necessary upon consummation of the Business Combination be eliminated.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals does not require the passing of a resolution under the Current Charter or Cayman Islands law. Notwithstanding this, the Colombier Board is asking the Colombier shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposals by ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and will have no effect on any of the proposals.

THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 10)

Colombier is asking its shareholders to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which, if approved by the Colombier shareholders and adopted by Pubco, will be available to Pubco on a go-forward basis from the Closing. Approval of the Incentive Plan will allow Pubco to utilize a broad array of equity incentives to secure and retain the services of employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors and to provide long-term incentives that align the interests of employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors with the interests of Pubco’s shareholders following the Closing of the Business Combination. If the Incentive Plan is not approved by Colombier shareholders, it will not become effective and no awards will be granted thereunder.

For purposes of this Proposal 10 and except where the context otherwise requires, the term (i) “Company” and similar terms will include Pubco at and following the Closing, and any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424I or (f) of the Code and any other business venture (including, without limitation, joint venture or limited liability company) in which the Company has a controlling interest, as determined by the Board and (ii) “Board” will mean the Pubco Board at and following the Closing and the compensation committee of the Board or any similar committee or sub-committee or the Delegated Persons (as defined below) to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority under the Incentive Plan have been delegated to such committee, sub-committee or Delegated Persons, in accordance with the Incentive Plan.

The remainder of this Proposal 10 includes:

        Highlights of the Reasons Why Shareholders Should Approve the Incentive Plan; and

        Description of the Incentive Plan.

Highlights of the Reasons Why Shareholders Should Approve the Incentive Plan

Incentivizes, Retains and Motivates Talent.    It is critical to the Company’s success that the Company incentivize, retain and motivate the best talent in what is a competitive labor market. The Company’s equity-based compensation program will be a key component in the Company’s ability to pay market-competitive compensation to its employees.

Aligns with Pay-for-Performance Compensation Philosophy.    The Company believes that equity-based compensation is inherently performance-based. As the value of the Company’s stock appreciates, Incentive Plan participants receive greater compensation at the same time that its shareholders are receiving a greater return on their investment. Conversely, if the stock price does not appreciate following the grant of an equity award, then Incentive Plan participants would not receive any compensation in respect of stock options and SARs and would receive lower compensation than intended in respect of restricted stock and RSUs.

Aligns Participant Interests with Shareholder Interests.    Providing participants with compensation in the form of equity directly aligns the interests of those participants with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. If the Incentive Plan is approved by Colombier shareholders, the Company will be able to grant equity-based incentives that foster this alignment between Incentive Plan participants and the Company’s shareholders.

Consistent with Shareholder Interests and Sound Corporate Governance.    As described under the heading “Highlights of the Incentive Plan” and more thoroughly below, the Incentive Plan was purposefully designed to include features that are consistent with the interests of the Company’s shareholders and sound corporate governance practices.

Description of the Incentive Plan

The following is a brief summary of the Incentive Plan.

Types of Awards; Shares Available for Awards; Share Counting Rules

The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, nonstatutory stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs and other stock-based awards, as described below (collectively, “awards”).

140

Table of Contents

Subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other similar events, awards may be made under the Incentive Plan for up to the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to 12% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock as determined immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination (the “Share Reserve”).

The Incentive Plan provides that the maximum aggregate amount of cash and value of awards (calculated based on grant date fair value for financial reporting purposes) granted in any calendar year to any individual non-employee director in his or her capacity as a non-employee director may not exceed $750,000 in the case of an incumbent director and may not exceed $950,000 for a non-employee director in such non-employee director’s initial year of service. Moreover, fees paid by the Company on behalf of any non-employee director in connection with regulatory compliance and any amounts paid to a non-employee director as reimbursement of an expense will not count against this limit. Exceptions to this limitation may only be made by the Board in extraordinary circumstances provided that any non-employee director receiving additional compensation does not participate in the decision to award such compensation. This limitation does not apply to cash or awards granted to a non-employee director in his or her capacity as an advisor or consultant to the Company.

For purposes of counting the number of shares available for the grant of awards under the Incentive Plan, all shares of Common Stock covered by SARs will be counted against the number of shares available for the grant of awards under the Plan. However, SARs that may be settled only in cash will not be so counted. Similarly, to the extent that an RSU award may be settled only in cash, no shares will be counted against the shares available for the grant of awards under the Incentive Plan. In addition, if the Company grants a SAR in tandem with an option for the same number of shares of Common Stock and provide that only one such award may be exercised (a “tandem SAR”), only the shares covered by the option, and not the shares covered by the tandem SAR, will be so counted, and the expiration of one in connection with the other’s exercise will not restore shares to the Incentive Plan.

Shares covered by awards under the Incentive Plan that expire or are terminated, surrendered, or cancelled without having been fully exercised or are forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares subject to such award being repurchased by the Company at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right) or that result in any shares not being issued (including as a result of an award being settled in cash rather than stock) will again be available for the grant of awards under the Incentive Plan (subject, in the case of incentive stock options, to any limitations under the Code). In the case of the exercise of a SAR, the number of shares counted against the shares available for the grant of awards under the Incentive Plan will be the full number of shares subject to the SAR multiplied by the percentage of the SAR actually exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle the SAR upon exercise, and the shares covered by a tandem SAR will not again become available for grant upon the expiration or termination of the tandem SAR.

Shares of Common Stock that are delivered (by actual delivery, attestation, or net exercise) to the Company by a participant to purchase shares of Common Stock upon exercise of an award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations (including shares retained from the award creating the tax obligation) will be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of awards under the Incentive Plan.

In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the Company’s acquisition of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant awards under the Incentive Plan in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate thereof on such terms as the Board determines appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitation on awards contained in the Incentive Plan. No such substitute awards will count against the Share Reserve, or any sublimit, contained in the Incentive Plan, except as required by reason of Section 422 and related provisions of the Code.

Descriptions of Awards

Options.    A participant who is awarded an option receives the right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock at a specified exercise price and subject to the other terms and conditions that are specified in connection with the award agreement. An option that is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” is a “nonstatutory stock option.” Options may not be granted at an exercise price that is less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. If the Board approves the grant of an option with an exercise price to be determined on a future date, the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common

141

Table of Contents

Stock on that future date. Under present law, incentive stock options may not be granted at an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of stock options granted to participants who hold more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s stock or any of the Company’s subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Incentive Plan, options may not be granted for a term in excess of ten years (and, under present law, five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to participants who hold greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s stock or any of the Company’s subsidiaries).

The Incentive Plan permits participants to pay the exercise price of options using one or more of the following manners of payment: (i) payment by cash or by check, (ii) except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable award agreement or approved by the Board, in connection with a “cashless exercise” through a broker, (iii) to the extent provided in the applicable award agreement or approved by the Board, and subject to certain conditions, by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the participant valued at their fair market value, (iv) to the extent provided in an applicable nonstatutory stock option award agreement or approved by the Board, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” as a result of which the Company will retain a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the stock option equal to the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the option being exercised divided by the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise, (v) to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable award agreement or approved by the Board, by any other lawful means, or (vi) by any combination of these forms of payment to the extent approved by the Board. No option granted under the Incentive Plan may contain a provision entitling the participant to the automatic grant of additional options in connection with any exercise of the original option. No options granted under the Incentive Plan may provide for the payment or accrual of dividend equivalents.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    A participant who is awarded a SAR receives, upon exercise, a number of shares of the Common Stock, or cash (or a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash) determined by reference to appreciation, from and after the date of grant, in the fair market value of a share of Common Stock over the measurement price. The Incentive Plan provides that the measurement price of a SAR may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted (provided, however, that if the Board approves the grant of a SAR effective as of a future date, the measurement price will not be less than 100% of the fair market value on such future date) and that SARs may not be granted with a term in excess of ten years. No SARs granted under the Incentive Plan may contain a provision entitling the participant to the automatic grant of additional SARs in connection with any exercise of the original SAR. No SARs granted under the Incentive Plan may provide for the payment or accrual of dividend equivalents.

Limitation on Repricing of Options or SARs.    With respect to options and SARs, unless such action is approved by shareholders or otherwise permitted under the terms of the Incentive Plan in connection with certain changes in capitalization and reorganization events, the Company may not (i) amend any outstanding option or SAR granted under the Incentive Plan to provide an exercise price or measurement price per share that is lower than the then-current exercise price or measurement price per share of such outstanding option or SAR, (ii) cancel any outstanding option or SAR (whether or not granted under the Incentive Plan) and grant in substitution for the canceled award, new awards under the Incentive Plan (other than certain substitute awards issued in connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or an acquisition by the Company, described above) covering the same or a different number of shares of the Common Stock and having an exercise price or measurement price per share lower than the then-current exercise price or measurement price per share of the cancelled option or SAR, (iii) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding option or SAR with an exercise price or measurement price per share above the then-current fair market value of the Common Stock, or (iv) take any other action under the Incentive Plan that constitutes a “repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange or market on which the Company’s stock is listed or traded.

Restricted Stock Awards.    A participant who is granted a restricted stock award is entitled to acquire shares of the Common Stock, subject to the Company’s right to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) in the event that the conditions specified in the applicable award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period established for such award. Any dividends (whether paid in cash, stock or property) declared and paid by the Company with respect to shares of restricted stock will be paid to the participant only if and when such shares become free from the restrictions on transferability and forfeitability that apply to such shares. No interest will be paid on unvested dividends.

142

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock Unit Awards.    A participant who is granted an RSU award is entitled to receive shares of the Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of such shares or a combination thereof, to be delivered at the time the award vests or on a deferred basis pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the Board. The Board may provide that settlement of RSUs will be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the election of the participant, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. A participant has no voting rights with respect to any RSU. An RSU award agreement may provide the applicable participant with the right to receive an amount equal to any dividends or other distributions declared and paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Any such dividend equivalents may be settled in cash and/or shares of the Common Stock and will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the RSUs with respect to which such dividend equivalents are awarded. No interest will be paid on dividend equivalents.

Other Stock-Based Awards.    Under the Incentive Plan, the Board may grant other awards of shares of the Common Stock, and other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares of the Common Stock or other property, having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine. These types of awards are referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as “other stock-based awards.” Other stock-based awards may be available as a form of payment in settlement of other awards granted under the Incentive Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a participant is otherwise entitled. Other stock-based awards may be paid in shares of the Common Stock or in cash, as the Board may determine. The award agreement of another stock-based award may provide the participant who receives the other stock-based award with the right to receive dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be settled in cash and/or shares of the Common Stock and will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the other stock-based award with respect to which they are awarded. No interest will be paid on dividend equivalents.

Eligibility to Receive Awards

As of [•], 2025, and assuming the Closing of the Business Combination, 38 persons would have been eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan, including GrabAGun’s three named executive officers (the “NEOs”), three other executive officers who are not NEOs, 25 other employees of GrabAGun and seven non-employee directors. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company or of a present or future parent or subsidiary corporation as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, and employees of any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Code.

Transferability of Awards

Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by a participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, other than in the case of an incentive stock option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. During the life of the participant, awards are exercisable only by the participant. However, except with respect to awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code and incentive stock options, the Board may permit or provide in an award for the gratuitous transfer of the award by the participant to or for the benefit of any immediate family member, family trust or other entity established for the benefit of the participant and/or an immediate family member of the participant if the Company would be eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act for the registration of the sale of the Common Stock subject to such award to the proposed transferee. Further, the Company is not required to recognize any such permitted transfer until such time as the permitted transferee has, as a condition to the transfer, delivered to the Company a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company confirming that such transferee will be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the award. None of the restrictions described in this paragraph prohibit transfers from the participant to the Company.

No Rights as a Shareholder; Clawback

No participant or designated beneficiary will have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed with respect to an award granted under the Incentive Plan until becoming a record holder of such shares, subject to the terms of an award agreement. In accepting an award under the Incentive Plan, a participant agrees to be bound by the clawback policy that the Company has in effect or may adopt in the future.

Administration

The Incentive Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board has the authority to grant awards and to adopt, amend and repeal the administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Incentive Plan that it deems advisable and to construe and interpret the provisions of the Incentive Plan and any award agreements entered into under the Incentive Plan. The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Incentive Plan or any award. All actions and decisions by the Board with respect to the Incentive Plan and any awards made under the Incentive Plan will be made in the Board’s discretion and will be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Incentive Plan or in any award.

Pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Incentive Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board. The Company expects that the Compensation Committee will administer certain aspects of the Incentive Plan.

Subject to any requirements of applicable law, the Board may, by resolution, delegate to one or more persons (including officers) or bodies (such persons or bodies, the “Delegated Persons”) the power to grant awards (subject to any limitations under the Incentive Plan) to eligible service providers of the Company and to exercise such other powers under the Incentive Plan as the Board may determine. In delegating the power to grant awards, the Board must fix (i) the maximum number of awards, and the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of those awards, that may be issued by such Delegated Persons, (ii) the time period during which those awards, and during which the shares issuable upon exercise of those awards, may be issued, and (iii) the minimum amount of consideration (if any) for which those awards may be issued, and a minimum amount of consideration for the shares issuable upon exercise of those awards. No Delegated Person may be authorized to grant awards to itself or to any “executive officer” (as defined by Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act), or to any “officer” (as defined by Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act).

Subject to applicable limitations contained in the Incentive Plan, the Board, the Compensation Committee, or any other committee or subcommittee or Delegated Person to whom the Board has delegated authority pursuant to the Incentive Plan, as the case may be, selects the recipients of awards and determines (i) the number of shares of Common Stock, cash or other consideration covered by awards and the terms and conditions of such awards, including the dates upon which such awards become exercisable or otherwise vest, (ii) the exercise or measurement price of awards, if any, and (iii) the duration of awards.

Except as otherwise provided in the Incentive Plan, each award under the Incentive Plan may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other award. The terms of each award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat participants uniformly. The Board will determine the effect on an award of the disability, death, termination or other cessation of employment or service, authorized leave of absence or other change in the employment or other service status of a participant, and the extent to which, and the period during which, the participant (or the participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or designated beneficiary) may exercise rights or receive any benefits under an award.

The Board may at any time provide that any award will become immediately exercisable in whole or in part, free from some or all restrictions or conditions or otherwise realizable in whole or in part, as the case may be.

In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock, other than an ordinary cash dividend, the Company is required to make equitable adjustments (or make substituted awards, as applicable), in the manner determined by the Board, to (i) the number and class of securities available under the Incentive Plan, (ii) the share counting rules set forth in the Incentive Plan and the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Incentive Plan that may be issued as incentive stock options, (iii) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share of each outstanding option, (iv) the share- and per-share provisions and the measurement price of each outstanding SAR, (v) the number of shares subject to and the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding award of restricted stock, and (vi) the share and per-share-related provisions and the purchase price, if any, of each outstanding RSU award and each outstanding other stock-based award. In the event the Company effects a split of Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to an outstanding option are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then a participant who exercises an option between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend will be entitled

144

Table of Contents

to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.

The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, employee or agent to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Incentive Plan has been or will be delegated against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Board’s approval) arising out of any act or omission to act concerning the Incentive Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith.

Amendment of Awards.    Except as otherwise provided under the Incentive Plan with respect to repricing outstanding stock options or SARs and with respect to actions requiring shareholder approval, the Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding award, including but not limited to, substituting for an award another award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an incentive stock option to a nonstatutory stock option, provided that the participant’s consent to any such action will be required unless the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the participant’s rights under the Incentive Plan or the change is otherwise permitted under the terms of the Incentive Plan in connection with certain corporate events.

Reorganization Events

The Incentive Plan contains provisions addressing the consequences of any reorganization event. A reorganization event is defined under the Incentive Plan as (i) any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity as a result of which all Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for the right to receive cash, securities or other property, or is cancelled, (ii) any transfer or disposition of all Common Stock for cash, securities or other property pursuant to a share exchange or other transaction or (iii) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Provisions Applicable to Awards Other than Restricted Stock.    Under the Incentive Plan, if a reorganization event occurs, the Board may take any one or more of the following actions as to all or any (or any portion of) outstanding awards other than restricted stock on such terms as the Board determines (except to the extent specifically provided otherwise in an applicable award agreement or another agreement between a participant and the Company): (i) provide that such awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate of the acquiring or succeeding corporation), (ii) upon written notice to a participant, provide that all of the participant’s unvested awards will be forfeited immediately before the reorganization event and/or that all of the participant’s unexercised awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such reorganization event unless exercised by the participant (to the extent then exercisable) within a specified period following the date of such notice, (iii) provide that outstanding awards will become exercisable, realizable, or deliverable, or restrictions applicable to an award will lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon such reorganization event, (iv) in the event of a reorganization event under the terms of which holders of Common Stock will receive upon consummation of the reorganization event a cash payment for each share surrendered in the reorganization event, which is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the Acquisition Price, make or provide for a cash payment to participants with respect to each award held by a participant equal to (I) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested portion of the award (after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs upon or immediately prior to such reorganization event) multiplied by (II) the excess, if any, of (A) the Acquisition Price over (B) the exercise, measurement or purchase price of such award and any applicable tax withholdings, in exchange for the termination of such award, provided, that if the Acquisition Price per share (as determined by the Board) does not exceed the exercise price of the award, then the award will be cancelled without any payment of consideration, (v) provide that, in connection with the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, awards will convert into the right to receive liquidation proceeds (if applicable, net of the exercise, measurement or purchase price thereof and any applicable tax withholdings) and (vi) any combination of the foregoing.

The Board is not obligated to treat all awards, all awards held by a participant, or all awards of the same type, identically. Certain RSU awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code will be settled in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement or as otherwise specified in the Incentive Plan. The Board, with reasonable notice to participants holding options or SARs, may impose a limitation on the ability of these participants to exercise their awards for the minimum number of days prior to the closing of the reorganization event as is reasonably necessary to facilitate the orderly closing of the reorganization event.

145

Table of Contents

Provisions Applicable to Restricted Stock.    Upon the occurrence of a reorganization event other than liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company’s repurchase and other rights with respect to outstanding restricted stock will inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and will, unless the Board determines otherwise, apply to the cash, securities or other property which Common Stock was converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such reorganization event in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to such restricted stock. However, the Board may either provide for termination or deemed satisfaction of such repurchase or other rights under the instrument evidencing any restricted stock or any other agreement between a participant and the Company, either initially or by amendment or provide for forfeiture of such restricted stock if issued at no cost. Upon the occurrence of a reorganization event involving the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, except to the extent specifically provided to the contrary in the instrument evidencing any award of restricted stock or any other agreement between the participant and the Company, all restrictions and conditions on all restricted stock then outstanding will automatically be deemed terminated or satisfied.

Provisions for Foreign Participants

The Board may establish one or more sub-plans under the Incentive Plan to satisfy applicable securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions. The Board will establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Incentive Plan containing any limitations on the Board’s discretion under the Incentive Plan and any additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Incentive Plan as the Board deems necessary or desirable. All supplements adopted by the Board will be deemed to be part of the Incentive Plan, but each supplement will only apply to participants within the affected jurisdiction.

Withholding

The participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Common Stock under an award. The Company may elect to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or wages. If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations. Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price, unless the Company determines otherwise. If provided for in an award or approved by the Board, a participant may satisfy the tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the award creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value. However, except as otherwise provided by the Board, the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), except that, to the extent that the Company is able to retain shares of Common Stock having a fair market value that exceeds the statutory minimum applicable withholding tax without financial accounting implications or the Company is withholding in a jurisdiction that does not have a statutory minimum withholding tax, the Company may retain such number of shares (up to the number of shares having a fair market value equal to the maximum individual statutory rate of tax) as the Company will determine to be necessary to satisfy the tax liability associated with any award. Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.

Amendment or Termination

If Colombier receives shareholder approval of the Incentive Plan, no award may be granted under the Incentive Plan after the expiration of ten years from the Closing Date but awards previously granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Incentive Plan or any portion of the Incentive Plan at any time, except that (i) no amendment may be made to the Incentive Plan to permit an option or SAR to be repriced without shareholder approval and (ii) no amendment that would require shareholder approval under the rules of the national securities exchange on which the Company maintains its primary listing may be made effective unless and until such amendment has been approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any time the approval of the Company’s shareholders is required as to any other modification or amendment under Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision with respect to incentive stock options, the Board may not effect such modification or amendment without such approval.

146

Table of Contents

Unless otherwise specified in the amendment, any amendment to the Incentive Plan adopted in accordance with the procedures described above will apply to, and be binding on the holders of, all awards outstanding under the Incentive Plan at the time the amendment is adopted, provided that the Board determines that such amendment, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the rights of participants under the Incentive Plan. No award will be made that is conditioned on shareholder approval of any amendment to the Incentive Plan unless the award provides that (i) it will terminate or be forfeited if shareholder approval of such amendment is not obtained within no more than 12 months from the date the award was granted and (ii) it may not be exercised or settled (or otherwise result in the issuance of shares of the Common Stock) prior to the receipt of such shareholder approval.

If shareholders do not approve the Incentive Plan, the Incentive Plan will not go into effect, and the Company will not grant any awards under the Incentive Plan. In this event, the Board will consider whether to adopt alternative arrangements based on its assessment of the Company’s needs.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the United States federal income tax consequences that generally will arise with respect to awards granted under the Incentive Plan. This summary is based on the federal tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, this summary assumes that all awards are exempt from, or comply with, the rules under Section 409A of the Code regarding nonqualified deferred compensation. Changes to these laws could alter the tax consequences described below.

Incentive Stock Options.    A participant will not have income upon the grant of an incentive stock option. Also, except as described below, a participant will not have income upon exercise of an incentive stock option if the participant has been employed by the Company or its corporate parent or 50% or majority-owned corporate subsidiary at all times beginning with the option grant date and ending three months before the date the participant exercises the option. If the participant has not been so employed during that time, then the participant will be taxed as described below under “Nonstatutory Stock Options.” The exercise of an incentive stock option may subject the participant to the alternative minimum tax.

A participant will have income upon the sale of the stock acquired under an incentive stock option at a profit (if sales proceeds exceed the exercise price). The type of income will depend on when the participant sells the stock. If a participant sells the stock more than two years after the option was granted and more than one year after the option was exercised, then all of the profit will be long-term capital gain. If a participant sells the stock prior to satisfying these waiting periods, then the participant will have engaged in a disqualifying disposition and a portion of the profit will be ordinary income and a portion may be capital gain. This capital gain will be long-term if the participant has held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term. If a participant sells the stock at a loss (sales proceeds are less than the exercise price), then the loss will be a capital loss. This capital loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.

Nonstatutory Stock Options.    A participant will not have income upon the grant of a nonstatutory stock option. A participant will have compensation income upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option equal to the value of the stock on the day the participant exercised the option less the exercise price. Upon sale of the stock, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the stock on the day the option was exercised. This capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant has held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    A participant will not have income upon the grant of a SAR. A participant generally will recognize compensation income upon the exercise of a SAR equal to the amount of the cash and the fair market value of any stock received. Upon the sale of the stock, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the stock on the day the SAR was exercised. This capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.

Restricted Stock Awards.    A participant will not have income upon the grant of restricted stock unless an election under Section 83(b) of the Code is made within 30 days of the date of grant. If a timely Section 83(b) election is made, then a participant will have compensation income equal to the value of the stock less the purchase price, if any. When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales

147

Table of Contents

proceeds and the value of the stock on the date of grant. If the participant does not make a Section 83(b) election, then when the stock vests the participant will have compensation income equal to the value of the stock on the vesting date less the purchase price, if any. When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the sales proceeds less the value of the stock on the vesting date. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.

Restricted Stock Units.    A participant will not have income upon the grant of an RSU. A participant is not permitted to make a Section 83(b) election with respect to an RSU award. When the shares of Common Stock are delivered with respect to the RSUs (which may be upon vesting or may be at a later date), the participant will have income on the date of delivery in an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on such date less the purchase price, if any. When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the sales proceeds less the value of the stock on the delivery date. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.

Other Stock-Based Awards.    The tax consequences associated with any other stock-based award granted under the Incentive Plan will vary depending on the specific terms of such award. Among the relevant factors are whether or not the award has a readily ascertainable fair market value, whether or not the award is subject to forfeiture provisions or restrictions on transfer, the nature of the property to be received by the participant under the award, and the participant’s holding period and tax basis for the award or underlying Common Stock.

Tax Consequences to the Company.    There will be no tax consequences to the Company except that the Company will be entitled to a deduction when a participant has compensation income, subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that adoption of the 2025 Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E, be confirmed, ratified and approved.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal does not require the passing of a resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law.

THE NYSE PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 11)

Overview

Pursuant to Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in any transaction or series of related transactions if: (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the common stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. Additionally, under Section 312.03(d) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco expects to issue approximately [•] shares of Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination. For further details, see “The Business Combination Proposal.”

Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock that Pubco will issue in connection with the Business Combination will exceed 20% of both the voting power and the shares of Pubco Common Stock outstanding before such issuance and this issuance of shares may result in a change of control of the registrant under Section 312.03(d) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, and for these reasons, Colombier is seeking the approval of Colombier shareholders for the issuance of Pubco Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, the issuance of up to 31,550,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, be approved.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the NYSE Proposal does not require the passing of a resolution under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law. Notwithstanding this, the Colombier Board is asking the Colombier shareholders to approve the NYSE Proposal by way of an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by a majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting and will have no effect on any of the proposals.

THE INSIDER LETTER AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 13)

Background and Overview

As a condition to the IPO, Colombier, Colombier’s officers and directors (at the time of the IPO) and the Sponsor, entered into the Insider Letter on November 20, 2023, pursuant to which each Insider agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Sponsor Shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold until the earlier of (i) six months following the consummation of Colombier’s initial business combination; or (ii) subsequent to the consummation of Colombier’s initial business combination, the date on which we consummate a transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities, or other property subject to certain limited exceptions.

Colombier shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt the Insider Letter Amendment, which would revise the lock-up period applicable to the Sponsor Shares set forth in the Insider Letter to end on the date that is the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the Closing Date or (ii) the date on which the dollar volume-weighted average price of a share of Pubco Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period beginning on the Closing Date. As the Insider Letter was a condition to the IPO, Colombier is seeking shareholder approval to enter into and consummate the Insider Letter Amendments to facilitate the consummation of the Business Combination.

A copy of the Insider Letter Amendments is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following description sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of (i) electing, in the case of beneficial owners of Colombier Ordinary Shares, to have their Colombier Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed and (ii) the Business Combination. It does not address U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination on other Colombier securities. The following description addresses the U.S. federal income tax consequences to (i) U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Colombier Ordinary Shares that elect to have their Colombier Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed, (ii) U.S. Holders that participate in the Business Combination, and (iii) Non-U.S. Holders of owning and disposing of Pubco Common Stock after the Business Combination. The following description, including without limitation the descriptions set forth below under the headings “— Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares” and “— Redemption of Colombier Ordinary Shares”, is the opinion of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP. The information set forth in this section is based on the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

For purposes of this description, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Colombier Ordinary Shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

        an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

        a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

        an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

        a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Colombier Ordinary Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not a U.S. Holder or a partnership or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

This description does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances. In particular, this description considers only holders that hold Colombier Ordinary Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This description does not address the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income, or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including:

        financial institutions or financial services entities;

        broker-dealers;

        persons that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;

        tax-exempt entities;

        governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

        insurance companies;

        regulated investment companies;

        real estate investment trusts;

        specified expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

153

Table of Contents

        persons that acquired Colombier Ordinary Shares pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

        persons that hold Colombier Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, redemption or other integrated transaction;

        persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

        controlled foreign corporations;

        passive foreign investment companies;

        partnerships (or other entities classified as partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or partners in such partnerships or entities classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “disregarded entity”;

        persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to Colombier Ordinary Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

        persons who actually or constructively own 5 % or more of Colombier Ordinary Shares by vote or value (except as specifically provided below); or

        the Sponsor or its affiliates.

This description does not address any tax laws other than the U.S. federal income tax law, such as gift or estate tax laws, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as described herein, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of Colombier Ordinary Shares. Additionally, this description does not address the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or entities classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “disregarded entity” or persons who hold Colombier Ordinary Shares through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership or treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of Colombier Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership or owner of the disregarded entity will generally depend on the status of the partner or owner and the activities of the partnership or disregarded entity. This description also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) on Colombier Ordinary Shares and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of Colombier Ordinary Shares is made in U.S. dollars. Additionally, this description does not address the tax treatment of the Warrants in the Business Combination. Holders of Warrants should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the particular tax consequences to them of holding, exercising or disposing of the Warrants.

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF COLOMBIER ORDINARY SHARES MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DESCRIBED HEREIN AND DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. COLOMBIER URGES BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF COLOMBIER ORDINARY SHARES WHO CHOOSE TO EXERCISE THEIR CONVERSION RIGHTS OR WHO CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND OWNING AND DISPOSING OF COLOMBIER ORDINARY SHARES AS A RESULT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

U.S. Holders

Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion under “PFIC Considerations” below, it is intended that the Business Combination qualifies as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. However, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not successfully challenge this position, and if so then the exchange of Colombier Ordinary Shares for Pubco Common Stock will be a taxable exchange, and the tax consequences described herein will be materially different from those described below. The remainder of this discussion assumes

154

Table of Contents

that the transactions described above qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. Assuming such qualification and subject to the discussion under “PFIC Considerations” below, a U.S. Holder that receives Pubco Common Stock in exchange for Colombier Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange. In such case, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Pubco Common Stock received in the Business Combination by a U.S. Holder should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the Colombier Ordinary Shares exchanged therefor. The holding period of the Pubco Common Stock should include the holding period during which the Colombier Ordinary Shares exchanged therefor were held by such U.S. Holder (which, as discussed above, should include the holding period of any Colombier Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Business Combination).

PFIC Considerations

Even if the Business Combination qualifies as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code, the Business Combination may still be a taxable event to U.S. Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares under the PFIC provisions of the Code, to the extent that Section 1291(f) of the Code applies, as described below.

Effect of PFIC Rules on the Business Combination

Even if the Business Combination qualifies as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury regulations are in effect under Section 1291(f). Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their present form, those regulations would require taxable gain recognition by a U.S. Holder with respect to its exchange of Colombier Ordinary Shares for Colombier Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination if Colombier were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Colombier Ordinary Shares. Any such gain would be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the Business Combination and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules described below under “Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC.” The proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) should not apply to an Electing Shareholder (as defined below) with respect to its Colombier Ordinary Shares for which a timely QEF election, QEF election with a purging election, or MTM election is made, as each such election is described below.

Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC

A non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC if either (a) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income (the “gross income test”) or (b) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income (the “asset test”). Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually.

Pursuant to a “start-up exception”, a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income if (1) no predecessor of the corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the start-up year; and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years. Taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances, however, there is a material risk that Colombier will not be eligible for the “start-up exception.” If Colombier is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of Colombier Ordinary Shares and the U.S. Holder did not make either (a) a timely “qualified election fund” (QEF) election for Colombier’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Colombier Ordinary Shares, (b) a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or (c) a “mark-to-market” (MTM) election, all of which are described further below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Colombier Ordinary Shares and any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder. Excess distributions are generally any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the

155

Table of Contents

U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Colombier Ordinary Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Colombier Ordinary Shares.

Under these rules, the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Colombier Ordinary Shares. The amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of Colombier’s first taxable year in which it qualified as a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder. The interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

In general, if Colombier is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the tax consequences described above with respect to its Colombier Ordinary Shares by making a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election), or an MTM election, all as described below.

Impact of PFIC Rules on Certain U.S. Holders

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Colombier Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat Colombier as a QEF, under Section 1295 of the Code, for Colombier’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Colombier Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder made a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or if the U.S. Holder made an MTM election, all as described below. A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that made either a timely and effective QEF election, a QEF election along with a purging election, or an MTM election is hereinafter referred to as an “Electing Shareholder.”

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a QEF election with respect to its Colombier Ordinary Shares is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by Colombier of certain information that would enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. Colombier will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there can be no assurance that Colombier will timely provide such information that is required to make and maintain the QEF election.

As indicated above, if a U.S. Holder of Colombier Ordinary Shares has not made a timely and effective QEF election with respect to Colombier’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Colombier Ordinary Shares, such U.S. Holder generally may nonetheless qualify as an Electing Shareholder by filing on a timely filed U.S. income tax return (including extensions) a QEF election and a purging election to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code any gain that it would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold its Colombier Ordinary Shares for their fair market value on the “qualification date.” The qualification date is the first day of Colombier’s tax year in which Colombier qualifies as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The purging election can only be made if such U.S. Holder held Colombier Ordinary Shares on the qualification date. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. Holder will increase the adjusted tax basis in its Colombier Ordinary Shares by the amount of the gain recognized and will also have a new holding period in the Colombier Ordinary Shares for purposes of the PFIC rules.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable shares, the U.S. Holder may make an MTM election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid MTM election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Colombier Ordinary Shares and for which Colombier is determined to be a PFIC, such holder will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its Colombier Ordinary Shares. Instead, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Colombier Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its Colombier Ordinary Shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its Colombier Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its Colombier Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its Colombier Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income

156

Table of Contents

or loss amounts and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the Colombier Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income. The MTM election is available only for shares that are regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including NYSE, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability and tax consequences of an MTM election in respect to Colombier Ordinary Shares under their particular circumstances.

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the timely QEF election, the QEF election with a purging election, and the MTM election are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of Colombier Ordinary Shares should consult its own tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such holder’s particular circumstances.

Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain non-recognition transactions involving foreign corporations, including the acquisition of a foreign corporation by a domestic corporation in an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. Section 367 of the Code imposes income tax on certain United States persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free. Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares on the date of the Business Combination.

A.      U.S. Holders Whose Colombier Ordinary Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More and Who Own More Than 10% of the Voting Power or Value of Colombier

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Business Combination beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of Colombier (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) must include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to the Colombier Ordinary Shares it directly owns. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of Warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of Colombier. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of Colombier and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Colombier Ordinary Shares is the net positive earnings and profits of Colombier attributable to its shares (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such shares.

B.      U.S. Holders Whose Colombier Ordinary Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More But Who Own Less Than 10% of the Voting Power and Value of Colombier

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Business Combination, beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) Colombier Ordinary Shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more but owns less than 10% of the total combined voting power and value of Colombier will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Business Combination unless such U.S. Holder elects to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such holder as described below.

Unless such a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits” election as described below, such holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to Colombier Ordinary Shares received in the Business Combination in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of Colombier Ordinary Shares received over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Colombier Ordinary Shares deemed surrendered in the Business Combination.

As an alternative to recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, such a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to its Colombier Ordinary Shares under Section 367(b) of the Code. There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other thing:

(i)     a statement that the Business Combination is a Section 367(b) exchange;

157

Table of Contents

(ii)    a complete description of the Business Combination;

(iii)   a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Business Combination;

(iv)   a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(v)    a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election and that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from Colombier establishing and substantiating the “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Colombier Ordinary Shares, and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified Colombier that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

(vi)   certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Business Combination occurs, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of making the election to Colombier no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, Colombier may in its discretion provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding Colombier’s earnings and profits upon request.

U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING AN ELECTION AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO AN ELECTION.

C.     U.S. Holders that Own Colombier Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Business Combination, beneficially owns (directly, indirectly, or constructively) Colombier Ordinary Shares with a fair market value less than $50,000 should not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Business Combination and generally should not be required to include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income.

All U.S. Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the effect of Section 367 of the Code to their particular circumstances.

Redemption of Colombier Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules described above, in the event that a U.S. Holder of Colombier Ordinary Shares exercises such holder’s right to have such holder’s Colombier Ordinary Shares redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described herein, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such Colombier Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 302 of the Code or whether the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution within the meaning of Section 301 of the Code. Whether that redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Colombier Ordinary Shares treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any Colombier Ordinary Shares constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of, among other things, owning warrants) relative to all of shares of Colombier Ordinary Shares both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Colombier Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as a sale of the shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in Colombier or is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also Colombier Ordinary Shares that are constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which generally would include Colombier Ordinary Shares that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of Colombier’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of Colombier Ordinary Shares must,

158

Table of Contents

among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of Colombier’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either all the Colombier Ordinary Shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or all the Colombier Ordinary Shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the Colombier Ordinary Shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Colombier. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Colombier will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of redemption.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of stock by the U.S. Holder under Section 302 of the Code, the U.S. Holder generally will be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the Colombier Ordinary Shares redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such holder’s shares of Colombier Ordinary Shares generally will equal the cost of such shares. A U.S. Holder that purchased Units would have been required to allocate the cost between the Public Shares and the Public Warrants comprising the Units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code, then the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder’s Colombier Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Colombier Ordinary Shares. Special rules apply to dividends received by U.S. Holders that are taxable corporations. After the application of the foregoing rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed Colombier Ordinary Shares will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Colombier Ordinary Shares, or, to the basis of Colombier Ordinary Shares constructively owned by such holder if the stock actually owned by the holder is completely redeemed.

Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. Holders of Owning and Disposing of Pubco Common Stock

Distributions on Pubco Common Stock

Distributions of cash or property to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of Pubco Common Stock will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Pubco’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds Pubco’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in Pubco Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “— Gain on Disposition of Pubco Common Stock.”

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of Pubco Common Stock generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Holder) are not subject to such withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

159

Table of Contents

A Non-U.S. Holder of Pubco Common Stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as described below, for dividends will be required (a) to complete the applicable IRS Form W-8 and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if Pubco Common Stock are held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

A Non-U.S. Holder of Pubco Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim or refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to the benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

Gain on Disposition of Pubco Common Stock

Subject to the description of backup withholding below, any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the taxable disposition of Pubco Common Stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

        the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment of the non-U.S. Holder);

        the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

        Pubco is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such securities disposed of, and, generally, in the case where shares of Pubco Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of such shares, as applicable, at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares disposed of. There can be no assurance that shares of Pubco Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

An individual Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. An individual Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States, provided that the individual has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. If a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a United States person as defined under the Code and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments.

Pubco does not believe it is and does not anticipate becoming a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the determination as to whether Pubco is or will become a “United States real property holding corporation” will not be made until a future tax year, and there can be no assurance that Pubco will not become such a corporation in the future.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders That Elect to Have Their Colombier Ordinary Shares Converted for Cash

This section is addressed to Non-U.S. Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares that elect to have their Colombier Ordinary Shares converted for cash. For purposes of this section of this proxy statement/prospectus, “conversion” of

160

Table of Contents

shares for cash means the process of exercising a holder’s right to redeem its shares for cash as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. For purposes of this description, a “Converting Non-U.S. Holder” is a Non-U.S. Holder that so converts its Colombier Ordinary Shares.

Except as otherwise described in this section, a Converting Non-U.S. Holder who elects to have its Colombier Ordinary Shares converted for cash will generally be treated in the same manner as a Converting U.S. Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See the description above under “— U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Have Their Colombier Ordinary Shares Converted for Cash.

A Converting Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized as a result of the exchange unless:

        such Converting Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the Redemption takes place and certain other conditions are met; or

        such Converting Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and any gain recognized in the exchange is treated as effectively connected with such trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a United States permanent establishment of such Non-U.S. Holder), in which case the Converting Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the same treatment as a Converting U.S. Holder with respect to the exchange, and a Converting Non-U.S. Holder that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

With respect to any Redemption of Colombier Ordinary Shares for cash that is treated as a distribution rather than a sale, any amount treated as dividend income received by a Converting Non-U.S. Holder that is effectively connected with such holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, such dividends are attributable to a United States permanent establishment of the Converting Non-U.S. Holder), will be taxed as described above under “— U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Have Their Colombier Ordinary Shares Converted for Cash.” In addition, dividends received by a Converting Non-U.S. Holder that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Converting Non-U.S. Holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the Redemption of their shares will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

This section makes references to holders of Colombier Ordinary Shares that elect to have their Colombier Ordinary Shares “converted” for cash as described in the section entitled “The Colombier Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights.” For purposes of this description, “conversion” refers to the process of requesting that a holder’s Colombier Ordinary Shares be redeemed for cash in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter and with applicable Cayman Islands law.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Pubco must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

161

Table of Contents

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of Pubco Common Stock within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of securities (including Pubco Common Stock) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which shares of Pubco Common Stock are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of Pubco Common Stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners”, which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their ownership of Pubco Common Stock.

INFORMATION ABOUT COLOMBIER

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Colombier.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands on September 27, 2023, which seeks to effect a Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities.

Initial Public Offering

On November 24, 2023, we consummated our IPO of 17,000,000 Units, including 2,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-third of one Public Warrant, with each Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Colombier Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per whole share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $170,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 5,000,000 Private Warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $5,000,000.

A total of $170,000,000, comprised of $167,450,000 of the proceeds from the IPO and $2,550,000 of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account maintained by the Trustee.

It is the job of our Sponsor and management team to complete our initial business combination. We must complete our initial business combination by February 24, 2026, the end of our Combination Period, which is 27-months from the closing of our IPO, unless we decide to pursue an amendment to our Current Charter and select another time period in which we must consummate an initial business combination. If our initial business combination is not consummated by the end of our Combination Period, then our existence will terminate, and we will distribute all amounts in the Trust Account, as described further herein.

We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules. Such an extension would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares. Such redemptions will likely have a material adverse effect on the amount held in our Trust Account, our capitalization, principal shareholders and other impacts on our Company or management team, such as our ability to maintain our listing on NYSE.

Colombier I

Certain members of our management team (including one of our independent directors) were formerly members of the management team of Colombier I. On June 11, 2021, Colombier I consummated its initial public offering (the “Colombier I IPO”) of 15,000,000 units. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000. In addition, simultaneously with the closing of the Colombier I IPO, Colombier I completed the private sale of an aggregate of 5,250,000 warrants (the “Colombier I PPWs”), at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant to its sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $5,250,000. On July 1, 2021, the Colombier I IPO underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 2,250,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $22,500,000. A total of $172,500,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of the units (including the over-allotment units and the Colombier I PPWs) was placed in a U.S.-based trust account. Colombier I consummated the Colombier I Business Combination on July 19, 2023. PublicSq.’s shares of Class A common stock and warrants trade on the NYSE under the symbols “PSQH” and “PSQH WS,” respectively. Michael Seifert, the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of PublicSq. serves as one of our directors.

General

Our management team is predominantly composed of principals of Farvahar Partners, a boutique investment bank and broker/dealer that acts as an advisor and liquidity provider to high growth venture backed companies and institutional investors, 1789 Capital, an investment firm that provides financing to companies in the budding Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Growth (“EIG”) economy, and former executives, and board members from Colombier I, which merged with PublicSq. in July 2023 in the Colombier I Business Combination, as further discussed below.

163

Table of Contents

During their extensive careers, our management team has earned the trust and respect of founders, executives, investors, and trendsetters in a wide range of sectors, including but not limited to finance, tech-enabled services, entertainment, digital marketplaces, software, information services, telecommunications, industrial manufacturing, and social media. These relationships have been cultivated through their various roles as operators, investment bankers, investors, and legal counsel across these industries.

Our officers, directors and Sponsor team members have significant experience with SPACs, acquisitions, corporate strategy and public markets. This experience includes leadership roles in Colombier I. The management team of Colombier I successfully identified and consummated an initial business combination with PublicSq., a digital marketplace designed to cater to consumers seeking products and businesses aligned with traditional American values, often overlooked today by corporate America. We believe that PublicSq. provides a compelling function in facilitating consumer transactions within the burgeoning “patriotic parallel economy.” Our management team utilized their professional network and expertise to help foster the growth of PublicSq. This effort included accessing new sales channels and partnership opportunities, securing supplementary private capital in addition to the substantial funding provided by the Colombier I Business Combination, and assembling a prospective public company board equipped to provide strategic direction. From the date Colombier I announced its merger with PublicSq. From February 27, 2023 to July 31, 2023, a few days after the close of Colombier I Business Combination, PublicSq.’s number of active consumer members grew by 218%. We are confident that our collective expertise, extensive experience with public listing vehicles, and expansive network can be harnessed to generate value for any potential target identified by us, thereby benefiting our investors.

Our Sponsor and members of our management team are affiliated with 1789 Capital, an investment firm focused on unlocking value across EIG opportunities. We believe our management team is well positioned to find additional EIG opportunities and are recognized by companies as leading investors in the space.

Additionally, our team’s access and credibility within the EIG ecosystem allows us to credentialize a merger target amongst like-minded, values-aligned American investors, consumers, media, and social networks, as well as introduce our Company to new business partnerships and sales opportunities. We believe a target will recognize the value our team can create, both for the target and our shareholders.

With respect to the foregoing experiences of our management team, past performance is not a guarantee (i) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination or (ii) of success with respect to any Business Combination we may consummate. Our shareholders should not rely on the historical record of our management team’s performance as indicative of our future performance. For more information on the experience and background of our management team, please see “Colombier’s Management” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Experience and Responsibilities of our Sponsor

Our Sponsor, Colombier Sponsor II LLC, is a Delaware limited liability company formed exclusively for the purpose of serving as a sponsor for us. The Sponsor had sole responsibility for organizing, directing and managing the business and affairs of us from its incorporation. The Sponsor’s activities in connection with our IPO included identifying and negotiating terms with the representative of the underwriters for the offering, other third-party service providers such as its auditors and legal counsel, and our directors and officers. Our Sponsor also assisted in identifying targets and negotiating terms with them for an initial business combination, including with GrabAGun.

On November 20, 2023, we entered into the Administrative Services Agreement with Farvahar Capital LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, we pay $10,000 per month to Farvahar Capital LLC for office space and secretarial and administrative support services. On November 20, 2023, we entered into the Services and Indemnification Agreement with OJJA LLC, Omeed Malik, Joe Voboril, Andrew Nasser and Jordan Cohen. Under the Services and Indemnification Agreement, we pay OJJA LLC $60,000 per month for the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer. We will cease these monthly fees under both the Administrative Services Agreement and the Services and Indemnification Agreement upon the earlier to occur of the completion of our initial business combination or liquidation.

Omeed Malik, Colombier’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of Colombier’s board of directors, is the sole managing member of the Sponsor. No other person has a direct or indirect material interest in our Sponsor.

Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination

We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest will be net of Permitted Withdrawals), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. As of March 17, 2025, the amount in the Trust Account was approximately $10.54 per Public Share (before any Permitted Withdrawals). The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters.

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Insider Letter with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Sponsor Shares and Public Shares they may hold in connection with the completion of our initial business combination.

Limitations on Redemptions

Our Current Charter provides that we will only consummate an initial business combination if our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of our initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares in connection with such initial business combination, and all Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following consummation of our IPO, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.

Manner of Conducting Redemptions

We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements. Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers with our Company (other than with a 90% subsidiary of ours) and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our outstanding Colombier Ordinary Shares or seek to amend our Current Charter would require shareholder approval. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on the NYSE, we will be required to comply with the NYSE’s shareholder approval rules.

The requirement that we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares by one of the two methods listed above will be contained in provisions of our Current Charter and will apply whether or not we maintain our registration under the Exchange Act or our listing on the NYSE. Such provisions may be amended if approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, which is a resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company and includes a unanimous written resolution.

If we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a general meeting, we will:

        conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and

        file proxy materials with the SEC.

If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if we receive the approval of an ordinary resolution under our Current Charter and Cayman Islands law, which is a resolution passed by a simple majority of the shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote at a general meeting of the company and includes a unanimous written resolution. In accordance with our Current Charter, a quorum for such meeting will be holders of one-third of the shares in the capital of the company being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy at the general meeting. Our Sponsor will count towards this quorum and, pursuant to the Insider Letter, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote any Sponsor Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after our IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of an ordinary resolution, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. As a result, in addition to the Sponsor Shares held by our Sponsor, we would need 6,375,000 Public Shares, or approximately 37.5% of the 17,000,000 Public Shares issued and outstanding to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted and applicable law does not require approval by a greater majority than an ordinary resolution). Assuming that only one-third of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, representing a quorum under our Current Charter, are voted, we will not need any Public Shares in addition to Sponsor Shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have an initial business combination approved. These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreements of our Sponsor, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or whether they were a shareholder on the record date for the shareholder meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.

If a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will:

        conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and

        file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination, which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.

In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on Public Shareholders not tendering more than a specified number of Public Shares, which number will be based on the requirement that we will only consummate an initial business combination if our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of our initial business combination. If Public Shareholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination.

Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we or our Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.

We intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions

166

Table of Contents

without the need for further communication or action from the redeeming Public Shareholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative cost. If the proposed initial business combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return any certificates or shares delivered by Public Shareholders who elected to redeem their shares.

Our Current Charter provides that we will only consummate an initial business combination if our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of our initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares in connection with such initial business combination, and all Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following consummation of our IPO, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.

Limitation on Redemption Upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Shareholder Approval

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Current Charter provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO (the “Excess Shares”), without our prior consent. We believe this restriction will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed Business Combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our shareholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in our IPO without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with a Business Combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash.

However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.

Delivering Share Certificates in Connection with the Exercise of Redemption Rights

As described above, we intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a Public Shareholder would have up to two business days prior to the vote on the initial business combination if we distribute proxy materials, or from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, as applicable, to submit or tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its shares may not be redeemed. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for shareholders to use electronic delivery of their Public Shares.

167

Table of Contents

There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the broker submitting or tendering shares a fee of approximately $100.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise redemption rights to submit or tender their shares. The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.

Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. Furthermore, if a holder of a Public Share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to holders of our Public Shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our initial business combination.

If our initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. In such case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.

If our initial proposed initial business combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete an initial business combination with a different target until the end of the Combination Period.

Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination

Our Current Charter provides that we will have only until the end of the Combination Period to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within such Combination Period, we 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 (net of Permitted Withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (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 our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period.

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Insider Letter with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Sponsor Shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period. However, if our Sponsor or management team acquire Public Shares in or after our IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the allotted Combination Period.

Our Sponsor has agreed, pursuant to the Insider Letter with us, that it will not propose any amendment to our Current Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 (net of Permitted Withdrawals), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. However, we will only redeem our Public Shares if our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,0001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of our initial business combination.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $[•] proceeds held outside the Trust Account as of [•], 2025, although there may not be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not

168

Table of Contents

sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes or make other Permitted Withdrawals, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the Private Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account and any Permitted Withdrawals or expenses for the dissolution of the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.54. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. We cannot assure our shareholders that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.54. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we may not have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although we seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses, and other entities with which we do business execute agreements, with us waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our Management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if Management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of the company under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by Management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where Management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. The underwriters of our IPO and Withum, our independent registered public accounting firm, will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) 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 Account assets, less Permitted Withdrawals; 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 the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our Company. Our Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and our shareholders would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) 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 share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, in each case less Permitted Withdrawals, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that

169

Table of Contents

our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, due to claims of creditors, the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per share.

We will seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. As of [•], 2025, we had access to up to approximately $[•] from the proceeds of our IPO, as well as any Permitted Withdrawals, with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

If we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we may not be able to return $10.05 per share to our Public Shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent preference, conveyance or disposition.” As a result, a bankruptcy or other court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our Company to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure our shareholders that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Our Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Current Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of our initial business combination. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a shareholder’s voting in connection with the Business Combination alone will not result in a shareholder redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of our Current Charter, like all provisions of our Current Charter, may be amended with a shareholder vote.

Employees

We currently have four executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they devote in any time period varies based on the stage of the Business Combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

Legal Proceedings

To the knowledge of our management, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

Michael was selected to serve on our Board due to his industry experience and public company background.

We believe our management team has the skills and experience to identify, evaluate and consummate a Business Combination and is positioned to assist the businesses we acquire. However, our management team’s network of contacts, and its investing and operating experience, do not guarantee a successful initial business combination. The members of our management team are not required to devote any significant amount of time to our business and are involved with other businesses. We cannot guarantee that our current officers and directors will continue in their respective roles, or in any other role, after our initial business combination, and their expertise may only be of benefit to us until we complete our initial business combination. Past performance by our management team is not a guarantee of success with respect to any Business Combination we may consummate.

Involvement in Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings that have occurred within the past ten years concerning our directors or control persons which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one’s participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

Director Independence

The rules of the NYSE require that a majority of our Board be independent within one year of our Initial Public Offering. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Ryan Kavanaugh, Chris Buskirk and Candice Willoughby are “independent directors” as defined in the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Both our audit committee and our compensation committee are composed solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules, the rules of NYSE and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of NYSE require that the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee will operate under a charter that will be approved by our board and will have the composition and responsibilities described below.

174

Table of Contents

Audit Committee

Under the phase-in provisions of Rule 303A of the NYSE rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. We have established an audit committee of the board of directors consisting of Messrs. Kavanaugh and Buskirk and Ms. Willoughby y, each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Buskirk is the chair of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Ms. Willoughby qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

The audit committee is governed by the audit committee charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the audit committee, including:

        assisting board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors;

        the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

        pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

        reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;

        setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;

        setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

        obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (1) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;

        meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Colombier”;

        reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

        reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Compensation Committee

We have established the Compensation Committee of our Board. The members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Kavanaugh and Buskirk and Ms. Willoughby, and Ms. Willoughby serves as chair of the Compensation Committee. We have adopted a Compensation Committee charter, which details the principal functions of the Compensation Committee, including:

        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

175

Table of Contents

        reviewing and making recommendations to our Board with respect to the compensation, and any incentive compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval of all of our other officers;

        reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

        implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

        assisting Management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

        approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

        producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement;

        reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors; and

        advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions of the Rule are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change, with the assistance of Management, and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the Rule.

The charter also provides that the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the Compensation Committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by NYSE and the SEC.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

We have established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. The members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. Kavanaugh and Buskirk and Ms. Willoughby, and Mr. Kavanaugh serves as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

We have adopted a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, including:

        identifying, screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors, consistent with criteria approved by the board, and recommending to the Board of Directors candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting of shareholders or to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors;

        developing and recommending to the Board of Directors and overseeing implementation of our corporate governance guidelines;

        coordinating and overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Directors, its committees, individual directors and Management in the governance of the company; and

        reviewing on a regular basis our overall corporate governance and recommending improvements as and when necessary.

The charter also provides that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of, and terminate, any search firm to be used to identify director candidates, and will be directly responsible for approving the search firm’s fees and other retention terms.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating director nominees, our Board considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our Public Shares do not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our Board.

176

Table of Contents

Director Nominations

In addition to the work of the nominating and corporate governance committee, the board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our board of directors must follow the procedures set forth in our Current Charter.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our board of directors.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees (the “Code of Ethics”). We have filed a copy of our Code of Ethics and our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and nominating and corporate governance charters as exhibits to this Report. Our shareholders are also able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Current Charter provides for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We expect to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.

Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF COLOMBIER

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes related thereto, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

Colombier a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 27, 2023, formed for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We consummated our IPO on November 27, 2023 and are currently in the process of consummating the Business Combination. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt. We expect to continue to incur significant costs for the consummation of the Business Combination and we cannot assure our shareholders that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On January 6, 2025, Colombier entered into the Merger Agreement with GrabAGun, Pubco, Company Merger Sub and, upon execution of a joinder to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser Merger Sub.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into Colombier, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity and, as a result of which, each issued and outstanding security of Colombier immediately prior to the effective time of the Colombier Merger will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled in exchange for which the security holders of Colombier will receive substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, (ii) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity, and as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of GrabAGun immediately prior to the effective time of the GrabAGun Merger will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled in exchange for which the security holders of GrabAGun will receive shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco. As a result of the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Colombier and GrabAGun will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company.

For a full description of the Merger Agreement and the proposed Business Combination, please see the section entitles “The Business Combination Proposal”.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 27, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net income of $5,758,466 which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $8,778,260, partially offset by operating expenses of $3,019,794.

For the period from September 27, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, we had a net income of $414,496, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $856,457, partially offset by operating expenses of $441,961.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 24, 2023, we consummated the IPO of 17,000,000 Units, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $170,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Warrant Subscription Agreement, we consummated the sale of 5,000,000 Private Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, or $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $2,302,151. Net income of $5,758,466 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities of $8,778,260 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $717,643 of cash from operating activities.

On April 1, 2024 and December 4, 2024, we withdrew $1,000,000 from the Trust Account as a Permitted Withdrawal for working capital purposes and as of December 31, 2024, $2,000,000 had been removed from the Trust Account for the first annual and second annual permitted working capital withdrawal.

On September 27, 2023, the Sponsor loaned us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2024, or the date on which we consummated the IPO. The outstanding balance of $196,319 was repaid at the closing of the IPO on November 24, 2023, and borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.

At December 31, 2024, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $177,634,717 (including approximately $9,634,717 of interest income). We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest will be net of Permitted Withdrawals and excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account for any Permitted Withdrawals. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

At December 31, 2024, we had cash of $905,040 held outside of the Trust Account. We use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required on a non-interest bearing basis. If we complete the initial Business Combination, we will repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender, upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. The warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants. Other than as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans. There were no Working Capital Loans outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

In connection with Colombier’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, Going Concern, as of December 31, 2024, Colombier may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Colombier’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan Colombier funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet Colombier’s working capital needs. Accordingly, Colombier may not be able to obtain additional financing. If Colombier is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. Colombier cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Colombier’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about Colombier’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the accompanying financial statements are issued. Colombier’s management team plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently February 24, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of Colombier, which raises substantial doubt about Colombier’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should Colombier be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. Colombier intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that Colombier will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024 and for the period from September 27, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than the (i) the Administrative Services Agreement and (ii) Services and Indemnification Agreement. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, we pay $10,000 per month to an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space and secretarial and administrative support services. Under the Services and Indemnification Agreement, we pay an affiliate of the Sponsor $60,000 per month for the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Chief Operating Officer. We will cease these monthly fees under both the Administrative Services Agreement and the Services and Indemnification Agreement upon the earlier to occur of the completion of our initial Business Combination or liquidation. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have paid $910,000 and $100,000, respectively, pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement and the Services and Indemnification Agreement of which $70,000 is included in prepaid expenses and will be applied to the 2025 Administrative Services Agreement and the Services and Indemnification Agreement fees.

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting fee of $0.15 per Unit, or $2,550,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or $5,950,000 in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters for a deferred underwriting fee. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely if we complete an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement for the IPO. Up to $0.30 per Unit of the $0.35 at our sole discretion may be reallocated for expenses in connection with our initial Business Combination and working capital needs post the initial Business Combination. Any such reduction of the deferred underwriting fee will reduce proportionately the deferred underwriting fee to the underwriters and will also reduce proportionately the amount payable to Roth under the Financial Advisory Services Agreement (as defined below).

On November 20, 2023, we entered into a Financial Advisory Services Agreement with Roth (the “Financial Advisory Services Agreement”), pursuant to which, Roth provided us with consulting and advisory services in connection with the IPO. Roth represented our interests only, was independent of the underwriters and was not a party to any securities purchase agreement with Colombier, the underwriters, or investors in relation to the IPO. Roth did not participate (within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5110(j)(16)) in the IPO; acted as an independent financial

180

Table of Contents

adviser (within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5110(j)(9)), and it did not act as an underwriter in connection with the IP O. Roth’s fee was $510,000, payable upon the closing of the IPO. A deferred fee of up to $1,190,000 will be paid to Roth at the closing of the Business Combination. This deferred fee will only be paid to Roth if Colombier completes a Business Combination. Roth’s fees in both cases will be offset from the underwriting fees already recorded between the cash underwriting fee of $2,550,000 and the deferred underwriting fee of $5,950,000, resulting in no additional incremental fee already recorded by Colombier.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires Colombier’s management team to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates. The following are the critical accounting policies:

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Colombier Ordinary Shares (including Colombier Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Colombier Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Colombier Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Colombier Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our balance sheet of the financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Warrant Instruments

We account for Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to a company’s common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of a company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of Warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. Upon review of the Colombier Warrant Agreement in connection with the IPO, the Colombier’s management team concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Warrants issued pursuant to such Colombier Warrant Agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Net Income per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of shares, Colombier Class A Ordinary Shares and Colombier Class B Ordinary Shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per Colombier Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Colombier Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Colombier Ordinary Shares is excluded from income per Colombier Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.

Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2016-13, as of November 24, 2023. There was no effect from such adoption to the financial statement contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2020-06, “Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”), to simplify certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Colombier adopted ASU 2020-06, as of September 27, 2023 (inception). There was no effect from such adoption to the financial statement contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

Colombier’s management team does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

INFORMATION ABOUT GRABAGUN

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section entitled “Information about GrabAGun” to “GrabAGun” or “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms refer to Metroplex Trading Company LLC (doing business as GrabAGun.com) before the Business Combination, which will be the business of Pubco and its consolidated subsidiaries immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination.

Overview of GrabAGun

GrabAGun is a digitally native and multi-brand eCommerce retailer of firearms, ammunition and related accessories. Since it began doing business as GrabAGun.com in 2010, GrabAGun has developed and grown its online gun platform, leveraging technology to provide a tech-first eCommerce experience, specially catering to the next generation of firearms enthusiasts, sportsmen and defenders. Our broad selection of product offerings ranges from carry handguns and sporting long guns to an assortment of firearm ammunition, magazines and optics. We source these products from more than 2,000 leading brands, such as Smith & Wesson Brands, Sturm, Ruger & Co., Sig Sauer and Glock, for whom we serve as a non-exclusive online sales partner, as well as emerging brands and manufacturers. Our firearms products are purchased by customers online through our eCommerce site and delivered to the customers’ choice of over 42,000 federal firearm licensed dealers or, with respect to most accessories and other eligible products, delivered directly to customers. Our collaborative business relationships and multi-brand vendor strategy enable us to offer more than 77,000 products, which we believe to be one of the most expansive product assortments currently offered among firearms and ammunition industry retailers. We generated approximately $93.1 million and $96.3 million in net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and have positive net income for both years.

We operate in a highly fragmented and goring firearms and ammunition market and offer, through our mobile-accessible online platform, a robust alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar gun retailers. We are positioned in the middle of the firearms ecosystem, where we procure products from firearms manufacturers and wholesale distributors and provide added value to our customers by helping them navigate the firearms selection process to meet their specific needs. Our ability to leverage software to optimize procurement and order fulfillment and reduce costs creates efficiencies that enable us to better serve our vendor partners and our customers and can be scaled as GrabAGun continues to grow. As a seller of firearms, we are regulated by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”). As further described below, we leverage our proprietary software to promote compliance-related efficiencies and rely on our extensive network of federal firearm licensed (“FFL”) dealers to carry out required customer background checks.

Our goal is to have our customers, regardless of whether they are first-time buyers or long-term sportsmen and enthusiasts, view us as an extension of their Second Amendment (“2A”) right and a trusted source to buy and own a firearm for recreational target shooting, hunting, home and personal defense, and other lawful purposes. We believe our tech-first approach, supported by our digital-forward, mobile-optimized eCommerce platform and proprietary tech stack, positions us well to capture the business of the growing group of younger, technology-savvy customers who demand convenience and a seamless purchasing experience for firearms, ammunition, and related accessories.

In connection with the proposed Business Combination with Colombier, we aim to leverage the expertise of our advisors, consultants, and business relationships as a public company to serve the next generation of 2A enthusiasts. We intend to focus on accelerating growth and consolidating the firearms, ammunition and related accessories industry (referred to herein as the “2A Sector”) by bringing GrabAGun’s tech-forward approach to an industry that has historically been fragmented from a retail sales perspective, and, following the Closing, by potentially acquiring businesses related or additive to GrabAGun’s existing business, if and to the extent attractive opportunities arise.

GrabAGun was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Texas on September 20, 2007. Its principal executive offices are located at 200 East Beltline Road, Suite 403, Coppell, Texas 75019.

Our Value Proposition

GrabAGun is positioned in the middle of the firearms ecosystem, where we procure products from firearms manufacturers and wholesale distributors and offer them to our customers through our website and mobile platforms, offering accessibility as well as customized customer experiences. Our ability to leverage software to optimize procurement and order fulfillment and reduce costs creates efficiencies that enable us to better serve our vendor partners and our customers and can be scaled as GrabAGun continues to grow.

eCommerce Platform and Technology

The next generation of gun buyers expects a modern, intuitive, and technology-driven experience, yet the industry has been slow to adopt innovations that have transformed other eCommerce sectors. Our ultimate goal is to be the trusted, go-to source for both first-time buyers and long-term 2A enthusiasts by bridging this gap.

184

To achieve this, we have designed and developed our mobile-optimized eCommerce platform to include UI/UX (user interface/user experience) enhancements that align with modern consumer expectations for seamless eCommerce transactions. In addition, we have created robust and feature-rich supply-chain software solutions that integrate (i) AI-powered pricing and demand forecasting, (ii) dynamic inventory and order management, and (iii) automated regulatory compliance support. These technologies provide significant operational efficiencies, allowing us to ship customer orders quickly and accurately while providing exceptional customer service and competitive pricing.

Along with the technological innovations that power our eCommerce platform, we have built a vast network of over 42,000 federal firearms dealers to handle the transfer of firearms purchased on our platform to our customers, enabling us to reach a nationwide customer base in compliance with ATF regulations.

Next-Generation Customer UI/UX

With the extensive software development expertise of our management team, we have designed and developed our platform to provide an intuitive, mobile-optimized experience that aligns with modern consumer expectations for seamless eCommerce transactions. Our eCommerce platform incorporates UI/UX innovations that we continuously evaluate and refine based on emerging industry trends and evolving consumer expectations. These features ensure ease of navigation, product discovery, and checkout efficiency.

Our firearm retail website offers advanced search and filtering tools, detailed product descriptions and near real-time inventory updates, empowering customers to find exactly what they are looking for, whether they are first-time buyers or seasoned collectors.

Mobile-First Focus and User Engagement

With the proliferation of smartphones and the increasing reliance on mobile devices for daily activities, mobile eCommerce has become a fundamental pillar of modern digital retail strategy. Our company has been at the forefront of this shift, leveraging our mobile-optimized platform to meet the demands of modern consumers. According to Google Analytics data, over the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, (i) mobile traffic (measured by number of page views from mobile devices) represented approximately 64% of all traffic on our website across device categories and (ii) sales completed from mobile devices accounted for approximately 64% of all customer transactions on our website and an estimated 61% of total revenues generated from our website.

Engagement metrics for our eCommerce website demonstrate a highly active and engaged user base. According to Google Analytics data, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the average number of monthly views of our website was approximately 13.8 million and we recorded an estimated total 25.6 million active user sessions, with an average session duration of over five minutes and a bounce rate of 16.9% (representing the percentage of users who left a session after viewing a single page). Further, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded approximately 261,000 completed customer transactions on our eCommerce website, with average monthly completed customer transactions of approximately 21,700. This translates to an estimated conversion rate for active user sessions over the same period of approximately 1.02% (representing the percentage of total sessions that resulted in a completed customer transaction).

To enhance customer engagement further, our platform leverages customer data analytics to provide personalized recommendations and targeted marketing, enhancing the customer experience while driving higher sales conversions.

New Inventory Program

Our New Inventory Program (NIP) is a proprietary inventory and order management software solution that enables seamless fulfillment and data management, industry leading pricing and attractive margins. NIP is integrated with our supplier data to provide near real-time pricing and inventory levels, updated automatically approximately every two minutes. NIP also uses AI-powered demand prediction, allowing us to optimize pricing and inventory allocation. In addition to facilitating our ability to provide competitive pricing for our customers, these functionalities enable us to maximize efficiency in procurement and order fulfillment, allowing us to ship customer orders quickly and accurately. Over the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, approximately 70% of customer orders shipped within 2 business days of the order date and approximately 98% of customer orders shipped within 5 business days of the order date.

FFL Network

The manufacture, sale and purchase of firearms and ammunition are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign governmental laws. Due to these laws, firearms and ammunition cannot be shipped directly to consumers and must instead be delivered via dealers holding Federal Firearm Licenses (“FFLs”). FFL holders are responsible for satisfying legally required background checks and other required compliance procedures before customers can take possession of relevant products purchased, including execution and filing of ATF Form 4473 (Firearms Transaction Record) to document the purchase of a firearm from a licensed dealer.

Over time, we have assembled a vast network of approximately 42,000 FFL holders that spans across the country — representing more than one-third of the 127,665 active FFLs across the 50 states as of February 2025, according to February 2025 data published by the ATF, available at https://www.atf.gov/file/200511/download.

The vast majority of firearms purchased through our eCommerce platform (approximately 95% of total firearms sales in 2024 and 2023) are delivered to our customers’ choice of network FFL holders for pickup. Our eCommerce platform allows customers to easily select their closest network FFL holder with whom to complete their background check paperwork and pick up their order, thereby streamlining regulatory compliance while also delivering an enhanced customer experience.

To join our network, each FFL holder must submit an application to GrabAGun, including a copy of its Federal Firearms License and we verify the validity of the license using the ATF’s online “FFLEZCheck” system. Once the validity of the license is verified, the FFL holder is added to our network and becomes available for customers to select at checkout on our eCommerce platform. As detailed further below, there are additional validation steps performed by our eGunbook regulatory management system any time a firearm is transacted through a network FFL holder to confirm the selected FFL is valid at the time of shipment.

GrabAGun does not pay any fees to, and does not receive any fees from, our network of FFL holders. Each FFL holder has its own fee structure to charge the customer at the time the customer completes their background check and picks up their order from the FFL holder.

GrabAGun also holds a Type 1 FFL and a Special Occupational Taxpayer (SOT) License for retail firearm sales, as we have a counter location at our facility in Coppell, Texas, where customers can pick up firearms directly from GrabAGun in its capacity as the FFL holder of record, though these transactions represent only a small fraction (approximately 5% of total firearms sales in 2024 and 2023) of our total firearms sales.

eGunbook Regulatory Management System

Our eGunbook regulatory management system is a proprietary software solution designed to manage the entire lifecycle of firearms transactions for GrabAGun, which we believe is the first of its kind to receive ATF approval.

When a customer purchases firearms on our eCommerce platform for delivery via a third-party network FFL holder, our proprietary eGunbook regulatory compliance software verifies that the selected FFL is still active and the operating location of the FFL holder. If an error is detected, the item is placed on hold awaiting remediation by a customer service representative (“CSR”) with the end customer. For example, if the selected FFL for a customer’s order is no longer active, the system will generate an error triggering the CSR remediation process. The CSR will then contact the customer to determine the best course of action — typically, this entails updating the order to select a different FFL holder whose license is verified as still being active. After the order is updated, the order will go back through the full compliance process and must pass all validation steps prior to being shipped.

After order barcodes and shipping labels are generated, an outbound check employee verifies the order barcode and serial number of the firearm. The regulatory system processes this information and generates a “Pass” or “Fail” designation. Similar to the FFL validation, this integration feeds the ATF-sourced FFL addresses directly to the order and confirms the FFL is active. The address on the FFL is crosschecked against the address on the shipping label produced by the shipping software. At this point the serial number is checked to make sure that the firearm shipper correctly and completely marked the firearm as disposed to the FFL holder on the order. The order number and barcode are referenced against order data to ensure the physical firearm that was marked disposed by the user was the correct firearm the customer bought. The

186

Table of Contents

regulatory compliance system then validates against selection at checkout to make sure the shipper selected the correct FFL holder. The order number is sent via application programming interface (“API”) to the shipping software to obtain and transmit tracking information both to GrabAGun and to the customer. The third-party FFL holder is responsible for the legal compliance of the transfer of the firearm to the customer, including running the required background checks on the customer and the execution and filing of ATF Form 4473.

If a customer is picking up a firearm from GrabAGun as the FFL holder of record at our Coppell, Texas location, GrabAGun is responsible for the legal compliance of the transfer of the firearm to the customer. Our eGunbook regulatory management system simplifies the management of critical ATF documentation, streamlining workflows, enhancing accuracy and minimizing the risk of non-compliance. The software generates any regulatory forms required in connection with the sale, including the Form 4473, and automatically files and stores all regulatory data. The system also integrates directly with the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NCIS) to electronically process the required customer background checks.

Artificial Intelligence

Our software-driven infrastructure integrates artificial intelligence (broadly defined as the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think, reason, learn, or make decisions) (“AI”) into critical workflows across our eCommerce platform and back-end systems – most notably in inventory analysis, customer pricing, product data management, marketing campaigns and customer service.

Our New Inventory Program (NIP) analyzes and synthesizes large datasets, including publicly available information sourced from across the internet and private operational data derived from our proprietary inventory and order management systems. These data inputs inform the system’s decision-making capabilities related to inventory purchasing and dynamic customer pricing across our catalog of over 77,000 SKUs.

With respect to inventory purchasing, NIP uses a proprietary algorithm to generate a ranking score for each product calculated based on a set of inputs, including order history, current product costs, and historical vendor feed data. The system then compares the ranking score against order history over the last 90 days to recommend a minimum threshold of units to purchase for each product. This data-driven process enables us to allocate purchasing resources efficiently and prioritize inventory procurement based on anticipated demand and margin performance.

With respect to customer pricing, NIP retrieves competitor pricing information through API calls to certain third-party price aggregator websites based on each product’s Universal Product Code, a standardized 12-digit retail identifier. The system’s Product Margin Optimization (“PMO”) algorithm analyzes competitor pricing to optimize our own product pricing strategy. When our base price for a product is substantially below prevailing competitor pricing, PMO recommends a price increase above the base price to enhance margin while maintaining competitiveness. When our base price exceeds competitor pricing, PMO recommends a lower price, subject to established floor limits, to increase transaction volume. PMO operates on a real-time basis: it refreshes immediately upon the re-optimization of an individual product, is triggered upon the sale of any product, and reviews the entire catalog every 30 minutes for internal cost or inventory quantity changes. This continuous monitoring and adjustment capability ensures that our product pricing remains dynamic, competitive, and optimized at all times.

For product data and content management on our eCommerce platform, our system automates and refines product listing content by continually learning from new product additions and historical adjustments to product data. We leverage a third-party AI service, which is trained on a combination of internal operational data and publicly available external data, to assist in generating and optimizing product page content. This integration enables our system to produce listing content that is accurate, comprehensive, and tailored to enhance customer engagement across our eCommerce platform.

To enhance customer engagement further, we employ a third-party AI service that uses customer data analytics to provide personalized recommendations and targeted marketing to our customers, including replenishment suggestions based on buying history and ongoing sales promotions. In customer service, we use a third-party AI chatbot service which we have integrated with our order management system to respond to common customer inquiries, including order status, shipping updates, and product questions. The system’s responses are trained by our customer service team and are continually refined as the system learns from new customer requests and inquiries that are received.

Addressable Market

Based on reports released in September 2024 (“Online Gun & Ammunition Sales in the U.S.”) and October 2024 (“Gun & Ammunition Stores in the U.S.”), respectively, by independent industry research publisher IBISWorld (together, the “IBISWorld Reports”), we believe that the aggregate revenues generated by the U.S. firearms and ammunition retail market in 2024 may have totaled as much as $25 billion. This estimate is based on information contained in the IBISWorld Reports, as further described below, and management’s general industry knowledge and familiarity. The October IBISWorld Report (Gun & Ammunition Stores) includes an estimate that aggregate revenues from firearms and ammunition sales in the U.S. during 2024 would reach $21.9 billion; the September 2024 IBISWorld Report (Online Gun & Ammunition Sales) includes an estimate that aggregate 2024 revenues from online firearms and ammunitions sales in the U.S. would reach $3.4 billion. Consolidating these two estimates, GrabAGun management concluded that U.S. firearms and ammunition retail sales may have totaled as much as $25 billion, in the aggregate, during calendar year 2024. As the IBISWorld Reports contain estimates, not final 2024 results, so too is the consolidated $25 billion figure a market estimate, informed by management beliefs and general industry knowledge; however, it is possible that actual 2024 aggregate revenues from the U.S. firearms and ammunition retail sector were less than, equal to, or greater than this estimated number, and readers should not interpret estimated market data as necessarily indicative of GrabAGun’s current, present or future performance (and readers should read carefully all of the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the information contained under “Risk Factors”).

As an eCommerce retailer of firearms products, we believe that GrabAGun is particularly well-positioned to take advantage of the addressable market for sales of firearms, ammunition and accessories in the United States, particularly in view of the general market trends towards online shopping. The guns and ammunitions market in the U.S. today remains highly fragmented, and most firearms products are currently bought in person at brick-and-mortar sporting goods and specialty gun stores, or at pawn shops and gun shows. However, the online firearms retail segment has seen significant expansion, which is a trend that GrabAGun management believes will continue (see, e.g., the September 2024 IBISWorld Report, which reflects that annual revenues from online gun and ammunition sales in the U.S. increased by approximately 8.8% between 2019 and 2024, and, according to information contained in such report, are expected to grow by a further 3.2% between 2024 and 2029). Readers are cautioned that the information in the IBISWorld Reports was prepared independently and has not been confirmed by GrabAGun, Colombier or Pubco. Further, readers are cautioned to read carefully the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In addition, certain demographic trends indicate that online retailers may have an advantage in capturing the growing market of younger firearm buyers. According to a report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (the “AIM Report”) addressing gun ownership and firearms purchases in the United States between 2019-2021, the percentage of gun owners aged 18-29 during this period was 12.0%; the percentage of gun owners aged 30-44 was 25.0%; the percentage of gun owners aged 45-49 was 29.8% and the percentage of gun owners aged 60 and older was 33.2%.

Notably, the AIM Report also showed that, among new gun owners between 2019 and 2021, 23.8% were aged 18-29, nearly double this age cohort’s overall representation among gun owners during the same period, and 36.8% were between the ages of 30-44, which was also significantly higher than the cohort’s overall representation among gun owners between 2019-2021.

We believe that GrabAGun’s eCommerce platform is particularly well-suited to meet the needs and expectations of younger consumers, many of whom are tech-savvy and accustomed to mobile shopping.

Our Growth Strategy

Our objective is to pursue a multi-factored growth strategy to become the market leader in the online firearms and ammunitions industry. The GrabAGun Members determined to pursue the proposed Business Combination with Colombier because of the belief that, through the Business Combination, we may develop business and advisory relationships and attract financial resources, investors, customers and publicity to GrabAGun that will help the company achieve our goals.

188

Table of Contents

Our growth strategy includes the following key initiatives:

Build a Technology-Driven 2A Ecosystem through Sector Consolidation.    At GrabAGun, our vision is to modernize and unify the firearms industry by combining sector consolidation with a technology-forward approach, creating a seamless and scalable 2A ecosystem that benefits manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers alike. The firearms and ammunition industry has historically been slow to adopt digital transformation. By applying cutting-edge technology to fragmented and outdated parts of the supply chain, we can drive efficiency, improve compliance, and enhance the overall customer experience. Through our software-driven infrastructure that integrates artificial intelligence and automation into critical workflows across our eCommerce platform and back-end systems, we are eliminating bottlenecks and creating a more transparent, data-driven industry.

At the core of this strategy is 2A Sector consolidation. We intend to pursue strategic acquisitions of eCommerce retailers, distributors, and importers of firearms, ammunition and related accessories, if and to the extent attractive opportunities arise in the future.

By consistently leveraging our expertise, technological innovations, and deep industry relationships, GrabAGun is able to enhance logistics and customer engagement within our existing operations. These improvements have driven greater efficiency and profitability for our existing operations, and we believe we can replicate this success across other businesses in the firearms and ammunition supply chain in the future, should opportunities to do so arise (though no such opportunities are currently being pursued). If we do successfully identify and consummate future acquisitive transactions, we aim to utilize GrabAGun’s technology-driven approach to unlock similar operational and financial benefits as we grow.

Enhance our Advertising and Marketing Strategies.    Including with the support of Colombier Acquisition Corp. II and the expertise and broad social presence of our Consultant, Donald J. Trump Jr., we are positioned for accelerated growth, leveraging strategic initiatives to strengthen our presence in the firearms and ammunition eCommerce sector. As a lifelong outdoorsman, avid hunter, and unwavering supporter of the Second Amendment, Donald J. Trump Jr. brings a deep understanding of the firearms industry, a strong connection to the firearms community, and the ability to amplify our brand visibility on a national scale.

As we move forward, we plan to accelerate our digital marketing efforts to expand our reach within the firearms and ammunition industry. By utilizing social media, online advertising, and third-party endorsements — including social influencers, brand ambassadors and others — we aim to grow our loyal community of outdoor and shooting sports enthusiasts.

One of the key reasons for pursuing this business combination with Colombier is that we believe that going public through the proposed Business Combination offers us the opportunity to attract greater publicity and visibility for our company and product offerings.

In the future, including over the course of partnering with Colombier in connection with the proposed Business Combination and, assuming the Closing, transitioning to becoming a national securities exchange-listed public company, we aim to further expand our business, leveraging the experience and reach of our advisors, consultants and other business relationships we may establish as a public company to continue to serve the next generations of 2A enthusiasts.

Current Firearms, Ammunition and Accessories Product Offerings

At GrabAGun, we take pride in offering what we believe to be one of the most extensive and diverse selections of firearms, ammunition, and accessories in the industry. With a catalog featuring over 77,000 products, we cater to gun enthusiasts, hunters, competitive shooters, law enforcement professionals, and responsible firearms owners looking for high-quality products at competitive prices. Our inventory spans six main categories — handguns, long guns, ammunition, magazines, optics and accessories — with over 250 further subcategories that cover a broad spectrum of firearms, gear, and shooting essentials.

Our Customer Base

We offer a large selection of firearms, ammunition and related accessories to suit sportsmen and enthusiasts of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels through our easy-to-use business-to-consumer eCommerce platform, subject to applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, minimum age requirements. For more information regarding government regulations affecting our business, see “Information About GrabAGun — Government Regulations and Compliance”, beginning on page 197 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

No single customer has accounted for more than 1% of our sales during either of the past two fiscal years.

In 2024 and 2023, approximately 170,000 and 190,000 customers, respectively, purchased products through our eCommerce platform, and there are currently more than 1.25 million registered users with accounts on our site. For purposes of the foregoing metrics, (i) a “customer” is defined as a unique email address used to complete one or more purchase transactions on our eCommerce website during the applicable period and (ii) a “registered user” is defined as a login account on our eCommerce website tied to a unique email address.

Our nationwide customer base supports a broader product assortment than a typical retail store offering. We provide real time transparency on in-stock products with optional restock updates via email. Further, through our relationships with firearms and ammunition distributors, we are able to provide competitive pricing for our customers. We also provide our customers with GrabAQuote®, which provides custom pricing via email to interested customers on selected items.

GrabAGun customers have the opportunity to apply for our “Shoot Now Pay Later” consumer financing option powered by Credova Financial, LLC, a provider of point-of-sale financing solutions. Customers that choose to finance a purchase do so via Credova’s platform, which has been integrated with GrabAGun’s website, thus maximizing convenience to customers. Under our merchant agreement with Credova, when Credova’s services are used to process a sale (each, a “Credova Financed Transaction”), the customer enters into a financing agreement with an originating bank providing for a loan to the customer to finance the sale, and the customer makes payments on the loan directly to the originating bank in accordance with the financing agreement. For each Credova Financed Transaction, Credova facilitates payment from the originating bank to GrabAGun in the amount of the Credova Financed Transaction, net of accrued merchant fees payable by GrabAGun to Credova on account of the Credova Financed Transaction and amounts related to refunds or adjustments. These payments from the originating bank are processed on a periodic basis within five business days for every Credova Financed Transaction. For each of the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, sales financed via Credova represented approximately 4% of total sales transactions, generating approximately 8% of total revenues.

Firearms Manufacturers and Distributors

GrabAGun does not manufacture the products it sells. Instead, we source our products through 13 active wholesale firearms distributors and some direct from manufacturers (referred to herein as our “vendor partners”). With this model, we are able to offer products from an extensive selection of 2,000 firearms manufacturers, including well-established manufacturers such as Smith & Wesson Brands, Sturm, Ruger & Co., Sig Sauer and Glock. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we purchased approximately 97% of the products we sold from wholesale distributors and the remaining 3% directly from firearms manufacturers, measured by product cost. Purchases from our largest distributors, Sports South, LLC, Big Rock Sports, LLC and Bill Hicks & Co, Ltd., represented approximately 26%, 13% and 10%, respectively, of total purchases in 2024 by product cost. In addition, sales of products manufactured by Smith & Wesson Brands, Sturm, Ruger & Co., Sig Sauer and Glock, whether purchased directly from these manufacturers or from a wholesale distributor, represented approximately 8%, 8%, 5% and 3%, respectively, of our 2024 sales. This broad portfolio of firearms manufacturers and distributors enables us to offer customers significant options in sporting firearms, ammunition and accessories and meet customer demand for the products that best meet their needs. Although we have long-established relationships with many of our vendor partners, we generally do not maintain long-term contracts with them, as is typical in the markets in which we compete, although we may do so from time to time. Instead, purchases from our vendor partners are generally made by means of standard purchase orders that specify only prices and quantities for the products purchased and payment terms, with no additional material terms or conditions. As of April 29, 2025, GrabAGun does not have any “material contracts” (as defined in Item 601(b)(1) of Regulation S-K) with any firearms manufacturers or distributors.

193

Table of Contents

We maintain strong relationships with firearms distributors in order to maintain an up-to-date and robust product inventory. Firearms distributors that we work with provide priority fulfillment of high-demand products during supply shortages and hold inventory on our behalf. GrabAGun does not provide any payment or other compensation to distributors for priority fulfillment; rather, our priority status is a function of GrabAGun’s high volume and long-established relationship with distributors. In addition, our vendor-integrated inventory management systems allow us to place smaller orders more frequently. We believe our value proposition to firearms distributors as a direct connection to consumers enables us to evolve our product offerings and grow our relationships as consumer demand grows and changes.

Inventory Management and Facilities

Our New Inventory Program (NIP) is a proprietary inventory and order management software solution that enables seamless fulfillment and data management, industry leading pricing and attractive margins. NIP is integrated with our supplier data to provide near real-time pricing and inventory levels, updated automatically approximately every two minutes. Our inventory and order management software optimizes displayed price across bulk buy discounts and supply and demand dynamics.

Our inventory and order management systems provide customers with access to local FFL holders and verifies regulatory data in our eGunbook regulatory management system. Our system maintains records of network FFL holders and allows customers to easily select their closest licensee with whom to complete their background check paperwork and pick up their order.

We operate one warehouse, located in Coppell, Texas, which is over 18,000 square feet in size. Our warehouse and inventory management system logs inventory costs, quantities and locations within the warehouse, assigns warehouse inventory to orders and tasks to warehouse employees and manages returns and logs all data for auditing purposes. Leveraging our distribution and logistics capabilities, we handle and ship approximately 175,000 orders annually on an aggregate basis from our warehouse.

We also have drop-shipment arrangements with many of our firearms distributors, in which products are shipped directly to FFL holders or customers rather than being processed by us, saving both time and shipping costs. These arrangements represented approximately 30% and 35% of total sales in 2024 and 2023, respectively. All categories of products in GrabAGun’s catalog can be distributed through drop-shipment arrangements. However, certain manufacturers have policies that do not allow for delivery of their products to be fulfilled via drop ship.

We believe that the location of our distribution center allows us to efficiently ship products to FFL holders and provide timely access to our principal distributors. We believe that our logistics and configuration capabilities delivered by our custom software, highly skilled and certified team enable us to meet or beat our customers’ expectations.

We believe competitive sources of supply are available in substantially all the product categories that we offer.

Marketing Strategy

Firearms retailers operate under stringent advertising restrictions that significantly limit the promotion of firearms products through traditional channels such as television, radio, print media and some social media outlets that disallow the advertisement of the sale of firearms as a matter of policy. As a result, digital engagement in other forms, such as through email marketing and other direct to consumer channels, including the use of brand ambassadors, promoters, and direct marketing efforts that also properly use direct outreach methodologies, including social media posts and email, and other forms of online communication has become increasingly important for retailers in our industry.

Our marketing strategy leverages diverse traffic sources, email marketing, and artificial intelligence to maximize engagement and sales. Google Analytics data on our website’s traffic sources over the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 reveals that (i) 38% of sessions originated from email marketing campaigns (“email-driven traffic”), (ii) 31% of sessions originated from organic unpaid search engine results (“organic traffic”), (iii) 18% of sessions originated from unknown sources (“direct traffic”), (iv) 10% of sessions originated from sites other than major search engines (“referral traffic”), and (v) 3% of sessions originated from SMS marketing campaigns (“SMS-driven traffic”). Google Analytics data on revenue generated from completed transactions on our website over the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 attributes 37% of revenue generated during this period to organic traffic, 32% to email-driven traffic, 17% to referral traffic, 8% to SMS-driven traffic and 3% to other traffic. Notably, 32% of revenue is attributed to sessions initiated from email marketing campaigns.

194

Table of Contents

Email marketing plays a pivotal role, with our sending over one million automated emails daily. These emails inform customers about product availability, price drops and personalized recommendations based on previous activity. Additionally, we distribute daily and weekly newsletters to over 1.3 million subscribers, sharing curated content. This effort has resulted in strong email engagement rates. Over the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we sent approximately 864 million emails which generated approximately 132,000 transactions and an estimated $58 million in revenue, with a 1.3% click-through rate (the percentage of emails sent that generated a click) and a 30.5% open rate (the percentage of emails sent that are opened by the recipient). We estimate that e-mail generated average order value (AOV) exceeded general AOV by approximately $34 per order during this period (with estimated email-generated AOV at $438 and general AOV at $404).

To enhance customer engagement further, we employ a third-party AI service which we have integrated with our eCommerce platform to power additional campaign communications across four areas: operations, revisits, targeted outreach and customer relations. Operationally, we utilize abandoned cart emails, abandoned browse notifications, low inventory alerts and new product arrival updates to retain interest and encourage purchases. For revisit campaigns, we send back-in-stock alerts, price drop notifications and welcome series emails to re-engage customers.

Targeted campaigns include win-back messages for customers who have not purchased within 30 to 120 days, evergreen recommendations for first-time buyers, and AI-driven replenishment suggestions based on buying history and ongoing sales promotions. Customer relations are nurtured through personalized loyalty emails and post-purchase store review requests to maintain long-term connections and drive additional engagement.

This multi-faceted strategy highlights our commitment to leveraging data-driven insights and personalized communication to drive revenue and foster customer loyalty.

Information Technology

IT Systems

We maintain customized IT and unified communication systems that enhance our ability to provide prompt, efficient and expert service to our customers. In addition, these systems enable centralized management of key functions, including purchasing, inventory management, billing and collection of accounts receivable, sales, distribution and financial accounting and reporting. Our systems provide us with thorough and detailed information regarding key aspects of our business. These capabilities help us to continuously enhance productivity, ship customer orders quickly and efficiently, respond appropriately to industry changes and provide high quality customer service. We believe our eCommerce website and software tools, which provide electronic order processing and advanced features, such as order tracking, reporting and asset management, make it easy for customers to transact business with us and ultimately strengthen our customer relationships.

Protection of Proprietary Technology

We regard our software as proprietary and rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws of general applicability, employee confidentiality and invention assignment agreements, distribution and vendor software protection agreements and other intellectual property protection methods to safeguard our technology and software. We have not applied for patents on any of our technology. We also rely upon our efforts to design new software, and upon improvements to existing software, to maintain a competitive position in the industry.

We currently hold United States trademark registrations for the “GrabAGun”, “Shoot Now Pay Later” and “GrabAQuote” names. Our registered trademarks have an indefinite life as long as we continue to use them for the goods and/or services they are registered for, subject to periodically filing with the U.S. Trademark Office certain maintenance documents and paying required maintenance fees. We are not aware of any claims or infringement or other challenges to our rights in these marks. In addition, we own registrations for domain names, including grabagun.com and variations thereon, for certain of our primary trademarks.

Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

As an eCommerce company, we are acutely aware of the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding our information assets, operational integrity and reputation. Our approach to cybersecurity risk management is integrated into our broader risk management framework and overseen by our managing members.

We have established comprehensive processes to assess, identify and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. These processes include continuous evaluation of potential threats, regular security assessments of third-party service providers and stringent monitoring procedures to mitigate risks related to data breaches and other security incidents. We periodically engage third-party consultants, legal advisors and audit firms to evaluate and assess our risk management systems and assist in the remediation of potential cybersecurity incidents, as necessary.

Our Information Security Program is designed to protect personal and proprietary information in compliance with federal and state requirements. This program aims to:

        ensure the security and confidentiality of employee and customer personal information, as well as our proprietary information;

        protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; and

        prevent unauthorized access to, use of, or transfer of such information, thereby protecting our company, employees and customers from potential harm or inconvenience.

We use a variety of tools and services, including network monitoring, vulnerability assessments and tabletop exercises, to enhance our cybersecurity posture. Our incident response plan is comprehensive, detailing procedures for preparing for, detecting, responding to and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. This plan includes processes for triaging, assessing the severity of, escalating, containing, investigating and remediating cybersecurity incidents, while ensuring compliance with relevant legal obligations.

In addition to internal measures, we manage cybersecurity risks associated with third-party suppliers, particularly those with access to our systems or confidential data. We perform due diligence on critical third-party suppliers and monitor identified cybersecurity threats. We require these suppliers to contractually agree to manage their cybersecurity risks according to our standards or to submit to cybersecurity audits conducted by our agents.

We regularly engage third-party experts to conduct information security testing, including penetration testing, on our systems and infrastructure. Our information security program undergoes periodic external assessments aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This alignment helps us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.

We are not currently aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our company, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. However, we cannot provide assurance that these threats will not result in such an impact in the future. For more information regarding risks relating to information technology and cybersecurity, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to GrabAGun — Breaches of data security and the failure to protect our information technology systems from cybersecurity threats could adversely impact our business.”

Cyber Oversight and Internal Procedures

Our managing members oversee our cybersecurity risk management. They receive reports as requested from management, including senior IT leadership and third parties, on cybersecurity matters. Additionally, the managing members are kept informed about cybersecurity risks as part of our overall enterprise risk management program and through regular business updates.

Senior IT leaders and a compliance officer are responsible for developing and implementing appropriate cybersecurity programs and ensuring our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. These leaders, equipped with relevant degrees, certifications and extensive work experience, are informed by their cybersecurity teams about ongoing efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents.

196

Table of Contents

Information regarding cybersecurity risks is communicated through various channels, including direct discussions between key leaders and our management, and reports to the managing members. The managing members regularly receive updates from our compliance officer and senior IT leadership on the status of our cybersecurity measures and any significant developments.

Our commitment to cybersecurity is a fundamental aspect of our operational strategy, ensuring the protection of our information assets, the continuity of our operations and the trust of our stakeholders.

Competition

The competition among retailers that sell firearms and ammunition is highly fragmented, intensely competitive and continually evolving. We compete with many retail formats, including traditional brick and mortar sporting goods and specialty gun stores, pawn shops and gun shows, and other online retailers. We seek to attract customers by offering a wide range of products that enable us to address the needs of all customers, from first-time buyers to long-term sportsmen and enthusiasts. We believe our online presence gives us a competitive advantage over our physical store competitors, as it allows us to better serve our customers with wider and deeper product offerings and the ability to shop with us at any time. Additionally, major retailers of outdoor goods such as Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods no longer sell firearms and ammunition in any of their stores, insulating us from this potential competition.

Government Regulations and Compliance

Regulations Relating to Firearms and Ammunition

The manufacture, sale and purchase of firearms and ammunition are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign governmental laws. We are subject to the rules and regulations of the ATF and various state and international agencies that control the manufacture, export, import, distribution and sale of firearms, explosives and ammunition. Such regulations may adversely affect demand for our products by imposing limitations that increase the costs or limit the availability of our products.

The various laws and regulations governing the sale and purchase of firearms in the United States include restrictions on sales of firearms to certain individuals, including federal law prohibiting the sale of firearms to convicted felons, individuals adjudicated as mentally ill, and those subject to restraining orders for domestic violence, among others, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). Additionally, the Gun Control Act of 1968 sets minimum age requirements, generally prohibiting federally licensed dealers from selling handguns to individuals under 21 and long guns to individuals under 18. These restrictions are enforced by the ATF, and may be further supplemented by additional requirements or restrictions imposed by state and local laws.

The ATF oversees the enforcement of nationwide firearms legislation through very strict regulations. For each sale of a firearm by an FFL holder, the agency requires paperwork recording the transaction to be completed, a background check to be conducted and that records of the transaction be held by the FFL holder for as long as the FFL holder holds the license.

The vast majority of firearms purchased through our eCommerce platform are delivered to our customers’ choice of third-party network FFL holders for pickup. For any firearms delivered for pickup to network FFL holders, the selected FFL holder is responsible for the legal compliance of the transfer of the firearm to the customer, including the execution of the ATF Form 4473 (Firearms Transaction Record) to document the purchase of a firearm from a licensed dealer, as well as the required background checks of the customer.

When a customer purchases firearms on our eCommerce platform for delivery via a third-party network FFL holder, our proprietary eGunbook regulatory compliance software verifies that the selected FFL is still active and the operating location of the FFL holder. If an error is detected, the item is placed on hold awaiting remediation by a CSR with the end customer. For example, if the selected FFL for a customer’s order is no longer active, the system will generate an error triggering the CSR remediation process. The CSR will then contact the customer to determine the best course of action — typically, this entails updating the order to select a different FFL holder whose license is verified as still being active. After the order is updated, the order will go back through the full compliance process and must pass all validation steps prior to being shipped.

197

Table of Contents

After order barcodes and shipping labels are generated, an outbound check employee verifies the order barcode and serial number of the firearm. The regulatory system processes this information and generates a “Pass” or “Fail” designation. Similar to the FFL validation, this integration feeds the ATF-sourced FFL addresses directly to the order and confirms the FFL is active. The address on the FFL is crosschecked against the address on the shipping label produced by the shipping software. At this point the serial number is checked to make sure that the firearm shipper correctly and completely marked the firearm as disposed to the FFL holder on the order. The order number and barcode are referenced against order data to ensure the physical firearm that was marked disposed by the user was the correct firearm the customer bought. The regulatory compliance system then validates against selection at checkout to make sure the shipper selected correct FFL holder. The order number is sent via API to the shipping software to obtain and transmit tracking information both to GrabAGun and to the customer.

GrabAGun also holds a Type 1 FFL and a Special Occupational Taxpayer (SOT) License for retail firearm sales. We have a pickup counter location at our offices in Coppell, Texas, where customers can pick up firearms directly from GrabAGun in its capacity as the FFL holder of record. If a customer is picking up a firearm from GrabAGun as the FFL holder of record, GrabAGun is responsible for the legal compliance of the transfer of the firearm to the customer. Our eGunbook regulatory management system simplifies the management of critical ATF documentation, streamlining workflows, enhancing accuracy and minimizing the risk of non-compliance. The software generates any regulatory forms required in connection with the sale, including the Form 4473, and automatically files and stores all regulatory data. The system also integrates directly with the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NCIS) to electronically process the required background checks of the customer.

State and local laws and regulations may place additional restrictions or prohibitions on firearm ownership and transfer. These laws and regulations vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some states or other governmental entities have enacted, and others are considering, laws restricting or prohibiting the ownership, use, sale or importation of certain categories of firearms, ammunition, ammunition feeding devices, or all of these products. For example, certain states have adopted restrictions on the sale of modern sporting rifles, and other states are considering adopting similar laws. Several states require internal or external locking mechanisms for firearms sold in their jurisdictions. Some states mandate, or are considering mandating, certain design features based on perceived safety or other grounds. California maintains a roster of handguns that are certified for sale in the state.

In connection with the Business Combination, after the Closing, Pubco and GrabAGun will provide written notice to the ATF of a change of control, as required by 27 C.F.R. 478.54, and designate a qualified individual as a Responsible Person, as such term is defined by the ATF.

Other Regulations Affecting our Business

We must also comply with various federal, state and local regulations, including regulations relating to consumer products and consumer protection, advertising and marketing, labor and employment, data protection and privacy, intellectual property, the environment and tax. Ensuring our compliance with these various laws and regulations and keeping abreast of changes to the legal and regulatory landscape present in the firearms and ammunition industry may cause us to expend considerable resources.

For more information regarding legal and regulatory risks affecting our business, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to GrabAGun — Legal and Regulatory Risks”, beginning on page 67 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Human Capital

As of April 25, 2025, we had a total of 32 employees, 31 of whom were employed on a full-time basis. Of our employees other than Messrs. Nemati, Vittitow and Hilty, ten are engaged in shipping and logistics, eight in customer service, four in operations, three in regulatory compliance, two in product entry/marketing, one in information technology and one in accounting. None of our employees are represented by a union in collective bargaining with us. We believe that our employee relations are good.

198

Table of Contents

Our human capital proposition is centered around a team-oriented work environment that promotes a culture that fosters engagement, hard work, a desire to win and accountability. At our core, we strive to attract, develop and retain employees that want to be a part of a dynamic workforce centered around delivering new products to our passionate user base.

Our compensation and benefits programs provide a package designed to attract, retain and motivate employees. In addition to competitive base salaries and discretionary bonuses, we offer comprehensive benefit options including paid time off, retirement savings plans, medical and prescription drug benefits, dental and vision benefits, life and long-term disability insurance, health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts, and parental leave.

Properties

We lease our principal executive offices in an office park located in Coppell, Texas. These offices house our administrative offices, pickup counters, call center and a warehouse, where we house our inventory and direct to consumer fulfillment operations. The facility includes security features such as retractable steel security doors, internal and external cameras accessible from the cloud, 24-hour/seven days a week monitored alarm and safety film on all glass. All employees at this site are background checked and cleared to work with firearms. This facility consists of a total of 18,081 square feet of space. Our lease expires in February 2026, with optional monthly renewals thereafter. We currently pay rent for these offices at a monthly rate of $20,370.06.

We believe our leased properties are well maintained, suitable for our business and occupy sufficient space to meet our current and foreseeable operating needs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF GRABAGUN

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the “Information about GrabAGun” section and GrabAGun’s audited financial statements as of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and other information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. GrabAGun’s and Pubco’s actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Additionally, GrabAGun’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for GrabAGun or for Pubco in any future period. Amounts are presented in U.S. dollars. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” or “GrabAGun” refers to the business of Metroplex Trading Company LLC (doing business as GrabAGun.com), a Texas limited liability company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of Pubco and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Overview

GrabAGun is a multi-brand eCommerce retailer of firearms, ammunition and related accessories, which we offer for sale on our website. Our broad selection of product offerings ranges from carry handguns and sporting long guns to an assortment of firearm ammunition, magazines and optics. We source these products from more than 2,000 leading and emerging brands such as Smith & Wesson Brands, Sturm, Ruger & Co., Sig Sauer and Glock, for whom we serve as a non-exclusive online sales partner. Our firearms products are purchased by customers online through our eCommerce site and delivered to the customers’ choice of over 42,000 federal firearm licensed dealers or, with respect to most accessories and other eligible products, delivered directly to customers. Our collaborative business relationships and multi-brand vendor strategy enable us to offer more than 77,000 products, which we believe to be one of the most expansive product assortments currently offered among firearms and ammunition industry retailers. We generated approximately $93.1 million and $96.3 million in net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and have positive net income for both years.

Our goal is to have our customers, regardless of whether they are first-time buyers or long-term sportsmen and enthusiasts, view us as an extension of their Second Amendment (“2A”) right and a trusted source to buy and own a firearm for recreational target shooting, hunting, home and personal defense, and other lawful purposes. Further, we believe our digital-forward, mobile-accessible eCommerce platform supported by our proprietary tech stack make GrabAGun well positioned to continue to capture the business of the growing group of technology-savvy and younger customers who expect the convenience and seamless customer experience we offer to purchasers of firearms, ammunition and related accessories. In the future, including over the course of partnering with Colombier in connection with the proposed Business Combination, we aim to further expand our business, leveraging the experience and reach of our advisors, consultants and other business relationships we may establish as a public company to continue to serve the next generations of 2A enthusiasts.

Recent Developments

Business Combination

On January 6, 2025, GrabAGun entered in the Merger Agreement with Colombier, Pubco and Pubco’s wholly owned subsidiaries formed for purposes of effecting the proposed Business Combination. The Business Combination which is the subject of the Merger Agreement will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Colombier will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and GrabAGun will be treated as the “acquirer”. The Colombier Board has unanimously approved the transaction and each of the GrabAGun Members has approved the transaction and, simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, entered into Seller Support Agreements. The transaction will require the approval of Colombier shareholders and the GrabAGun Members prior to the Closing.

200

Table of Contents

The transaction is subject to other customary closing conditions and is currently expected to be consummated during the second half of calendar year 2025. At the Closing, Colombier will merge with Purchaser Merger Sub, with Colombier continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, and GrabAGun will merge with Company Merger Sub, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. Pubco will carry on the business of GrabAGun, which will be Pubco’s sole operating subsidiary immediately after the Business Combination is consummated.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Our results of operations and our ability to grow our business over time could be impacted by a number of factors and trends that affect our industry generally, as well as new offerings of products and services we may acquire or seek to acquire in the future. Additionally, our business is concentrated in certain markets, putting us at risk of region-specific disruptions such as adverse economic, regulatory, political, and other conditions; we are also subject to certain seasonal risks. See “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for further discussion of risks affecting our business. We believe the factors discussed below are key to our success.

Vendor partner relationships

All of the firearms, ammunition and related accessories offered on our eCommerce platform are supplied by wholesale distributors and original manufacturers (referred to herein as our “vendor partners”). Although we have long-established relationships with many of our vendor partners, we generally do not maintain long-term contracts with them, as is typical in the markets in which we compete, although we may do so from time to time. Instead, purchases from our vendor partners are generally made by means of standard purchase orders that specify only prices and quantities for the products purchased and payment terms, with no additional material terms or conditions. A reduction in vendor partner programs or our failure to timely react to changes in vendor partner programs could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, a reduction in the amount or a change in the terms of credit granted to us by our vendor partners could increase our need for, and the cost of, working capital and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

From time to time, vendor partners may terminate or limit our ability to sell some or all of their products or change the terms and conditions that apply to our purchases of their products. For example, there is no assurance that, as our vendor partners continue to sell directly to end users and through distributors and resellers, they will not limit or curtail the availability of their products to eCommerce retailers like us. Any such termination or limitation or the implementation of such changes could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

We purchase the firearms and ammunition products offered on our eCommerce platform directly from both wholesale distributors and original manufacturers. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we purchased approximately 97% of the products we sold from wholesale distributors and the remaining 3% directly from firearms manufacturers, measured by product cost. Although we purchase from a diverse vendor base, in 2024, the products we purchased from wholesale distributors Sports South, LLC, Big Rock Sports, LLC and Bill Hicks & Co, Ltd. (our three largest wholesale distributor partners during calendar year 2024 by product cost), represented approximately 26%, 13% and 10%, respectively, of total purchases during 2024 by product cost. In addition, sales of products manufactured by Smith & Wesson Brands, Sturm, Ruger & Co., Sig Sauer and Glock, whether purchased directly from these manufacturers or from a wholesale distributor, represented approximately 8%, 8%, 5% and 3%, respectively, of our 2024 sales. The loss of, or change in business relationship with, any of these or any other key vendor partners, or the diminished availability of their products, including due to backlogs for their products, could reduce the supply and impact the cost of products we sell and negatively impact our competitive position.

Further, the sale, spin-off or combination of any of our key vendor partners and/or certain of their business units, including any such sale to or combination with a vendor with whom we do not currently have a commercial relationship or whose products we do not sell, or our inability to develop relationships with new and emerging vendors and vendors from which we have not historically purchased products offered on our eCommerce platform, could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Vendor partner offerings and competitiveness

The firearms and ammunition industry is characterized by rapid innovation and the frequent introduction of new and enhanced firearms, ammunition, and related accessories, as well as non-firearms products that appeal to outdoor enthusiasts. We have been and will continue to be dependent on innovations in these products, as well as the acceptance of those innovations by customers. Also, customers may delay spending while they evaluate new firearms-related products. A decrease in the rate of innovation, a lack of acceptance of innovations by our customers or delays in spending by our customers could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, if we are unable to anticipate and expand our capabilities to keep pace with changes in new firearms, ammunition and related accessories, for example by providing appropriate training to our sales personnel to enable them to effectively sell and deliver such new offerings to customers, our business, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected.

We also are dependent upon our vendor partners for the development and marketing of firearms, ammunition and related accessories to compete effectively with the firearms, ammunition and related accessories of vendors whose products we do not currently offer or that we are unable to offer on our eCommerce platform. To the extent that a vendor’s offering that is in high demand is not available to us for resale on our platform, and there is not a competitive offering from another vendor available to us, or if we are unable to develop relationships with new vendors that we have not historically worked with, our business, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely impacted.

Exposure to potential product liability, warranty liability, or personal injury claims and litigation

The products sold on our eCommerce platform are used in activities and situations that may involve risk of personal injury and death. Any improper or illegal use by customers of firearms or ammunition sold on our eCommerce platform could potentially expose us to product liability, warranty liability and personal injury claims and litigation relating to the use or misuse of products sold on our website, including allegations of a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product or activities associated with the product, negligence and strict liability. If successful, any such claims could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition. Defects in products sold on our platform may also result in a loss of sales, recall expenses, delay in market acceptance and damage to our reputation and increased warranty costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Although we maintain product liability insurance in amounts that we believe are reasonable, we may not be able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future and product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or may not be covered by our insurance policies. In addition, our reputation may be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, including potential negative publicity about our products.

We may also incur losses due to lawsuits, including potential class action suits, relating to our policies on the sale of firearms and ammunition, our performance of background checks on firearms and ammunition purchases and compliance with other sales laws and regulations as mandated by state and federal laws, including lawsuits by municipalities or other organizations attempting to recover costs from retailers of firearms and ammunition.

Supply chain and logistics

Our business depends on the timely supply of firearms, ammunition and related accessories in order to meet the demands of our customers. Manufacturing interruptions or delays, including as a result of the financial instability or bankruptcy of manufacturers, significant labor disputes such as strikes, natural disasters (which may increase in number or severity as a result of climate change), political or social unrest, armed conflict, pandemics or other public health crises, or other adverse occurrences affecting any of our suppliers’ facilities could disrupt our supply chain. We have not experienced but could in the future experience product constraints due to the failure of suppliers to accurately forecast customer demand, or to manufacture sufficient quantities of products to meet customer demand, among other reasons. Additionally, the relocation of key distributors utilized in our purchasing model could increase our need for, and the cost of, working capital and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.

202

Table of Contents

We generally ship firearms products to firearms and ammunition dealers (or, with respect to most accessories and other eligible products, to) our customers), by FedEx, United Parcel Service and other commercial delivery services and invoice customers for delivery charges. If we are unable to pass on to our customers future increases in the cost of commercial delivery services (including those that may result from an increase in fuel or personnel costs or a need to use higher cost delivery channels during periods of increased demand), our profitability could be adversely affected. Additionally, strikes, inclement weather, natural disasters or other service interruptions by such shippers or periods of increased demand for delivery services could materially and adversely affect our ability to deliver or receive products on a timely basis.

If our warehouse and fulfillment operations were to be seriously damaged or disrupted by a natural disaster, which may increase in number or severity as a result of climate change, or other adverse occurrence, including disruption related to political or social unrest, we could utilize another facility or third-party distributors to ship products to firearm and ammunition dealers and our customers. However, this may not be sufficient to avoid interruptions in our business and may not enable us to meet all of the needs of our customers and would cause us to incur incremental operating costs.

Components of Results of Operations

Net Revenues

To date, substantially all of our revenue has been generated from retail sales, including drop-ship sales arrangements for both firearm and non-firearm products. A smaller percentage of revenue to date has been generated from the sale of gift cards, firearm transfer fees, and background check services for products not purchased through our platform.

Most of our sales are single performance obligation arrangements for retail sale transactions directly from our website or mobile app for which the transaction price is equivalent to the stated price of the product or service, net of any stated discounts applicable at a point in time. Each sales transaction results in an implicit contract with the customer to deliver a product or service at the point of sale. Revenue from retail sales, including sales in which products ordered from distributors are shipped directly to our customers (“drop-ship” sales arrangements), is recognized upon delivery of merchandise to the customer’s desired location. Sales tax amounts collected from customers that are assessed by government agencies are excluded from revenue. Customers generally have the option to return non-firearm products within 30 days of purchase. Revenue is recognized net of estimated returns, which are calculated based on historical returns and expected future market conditions.

See Note 3 to our audited annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information concerning our revenue recognition policies within the section entitled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consist of all product-related costs (inclusive of vendor rebates, related inventory reserves, and credit card processor fees), as well as costs to receive and warehouse products. These costs include internal quality assessments of products purchased from vendors, in addition to packing and shipping products ordered by customers. These costs exclude depreciation expenses related to property and equipment as we do not manufacture our products. Additionally, we primarily rely on delivery carriers, FedEx and UPS, for the delivery of our products. In the event of an interruption or disruption in the delivery capabilities of FedEx or UPS, we may not be able to obtain an alternative delivery service without incurring material additional costs and substantial delays for the delivery of our products, which could adversely impact our business and operating results. We expect our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue to decrease over time as we continue to grow and scale our business.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of (i) sales and marketing expenses and (ii) general and administrative expenses. The most significant component of our operating expenses are personnel-related costs, such as salaries, benefits, and bonuses. As we continue to invest significant resources into supporting our growth, we anticipate that operating expenses will increase in absolute dollar amounts while decreasing as a percentage of net revenues over time.

203

Table of Contents

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, bonuses, consultant fees, and direct marketing costs related to the promotion of our eCommerce platform and product offerings. We expect, going forward, these expenses to grow in absolute dollar amounts as we continue to expand our marketing efforts, scale our operations, and increase brand awareness, but decline as a percentage of net revenues over time. Our inability to scale our expenses could negatively impact gross margin and profitability.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, travel, and other administrative-related expenses for personnel engaged in executive, finance, legal, human resources, and other administrative functions. Other significant costs include information technology, professional services, insurance, amortization of capitalized software, depreciation of property and equipment, and lease expense related to our warehouse. In the future, assuming the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, we also expect to incur increased expenses related to audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, and investor relations costs associated with operating as a public company. As a result, we expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods but decline as a percentage of net revenues over time. Our inability to scale our expenses could negatively impact gross margin and profitability.

Other Income

Other income consists of interest earned on our cash balance, in addition to the Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) received during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Net Revenues

Net revenues decreased by $3.2 million or 3%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the shorter calendar 2024 holiday shopping season relative to other years, in addition to the impact of inflation influencing customer purchases, as well as fluctuations within the firearm and non-firearm product categories, as outlined below:

        Firearm sales increased by $1.5 million or 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to a 2% increase in average sales prices, partially offset by a 0.4% decrease in sales volume.

        Non-firearm sales decreased by $4.7 million or 20%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a 33% reduction in sales volume of non-firearm products, partially offset by a 20% increase in average sales prices.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold decreased by $2.5 million or 3%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Gross profit decreased by $0.6 million or 6%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a 33% reduction in the sales volume of non-firearm products and a 21% increase in average product costs for the non-firearm category.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $0.2 million or 23%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced spending on the Company’s marketing activities.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense decreased by $0.2 million or 3%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in headcount, partially offset by an increase in professional services spend.

Other Income

Other income increased by $0.2 million or 143%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily related to the ERTC received in the current year, coupled with higher interest income earned on daily cash sweep balances held in cash.

Key Business Metrics, Selected Financial Data and Non-GAAP Reconciliation

We monitor a number of financial and non-financial measures and ratios on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business and make adjustments as necessary. We believe that the most important of these measures and ratios include the following:

        Net income:    A primary measure of overall profitability.

        Margin:    Gross profit margin, in dollar terms and as a percentage of net revenues, analyzed overall and by product category to assess profitability.

In addition to these metrics, management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP financial measures, to supplement GAAP measures of performance as a tool to evaluate our historical financial and operational performance, identify trends affecting our business, and formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides users of our financial information with useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides visibility to the underlying continuing operating performance by excluding the impact of non-cash

205

Table of Contents

expenses, including depreciation, amortization, and certain non-recurring costs, as management does not believe these expenses are representative of our core earnings. We also provide Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

The non-GAAP financial measures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Adjusted EBITDA is not a liquidity measure and should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or to distribute to stockholders or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization, and certain non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed operations primarily through cash generated from operating activities. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that the estimated net proceeds we realize from the Merger, along with our existing cash and cash equivalent balance as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, will be sufficient to fund our projected operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months following the date the audited annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus are available to be issued. This estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than anticipated.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $7.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Excess cash is primarily invested in overnight cash sweeps, which offer high liquidity and strong credit ratings. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we do not currently anticipate needing to raise additional capital in the near term if the Minimum Cash Condition in the Merger Agreement is satisfied and based on our current expectations with respect to cash to be generated from our operations. However, our liquidity needs will be dependent both on the performance of our business and on the amount of proceeds we realize through the Merger. If we do not realize sufficient proceeds from the Merger to carry out our business plan or if our business does not perform as we expect, we may be required to pursue additional financing or take other measures to improve our liquidity. See “Risk Factors — GrabAGun may require additional funding to finance its operations, but adequate additional financing may not be available when it needs it, on acceptable terms or, at all.” By focusing on competitive pricing and operational efficiency, we seek to maximize customer satisfaction and lifetime value while maintaining strong profit margins. The digital-first approach also allows our company to scale efficiently and serve a nationwide customer base with ease.

206

Table of Contents

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

        the cost and timing of developing or enhancing products and services;

        the achievement of expanding operations in the United States or internationally;

        our ability to capitalize on expanding consumer market demographics within the industry;

        the cost associated with hiring, training, and/or retaining employees;

        our ability to forecast demand and respond to changes in market conditions, including the seasonal nature of the business;

        our investments in our operational infrastructure, including supply-chain management and AI-driven information management systems; and

        our ability to acquire complementary businesses, products, or technologies.

Our operating results are influenced by the seasonality of outdoor sporting activities, which can have an impact on the timing of costs and revenue. Unseasonable weather or deviations from typical seasonal weather patterns may potentially impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

For example, shipments of ammunition for hunting are typically high between the months of June and September in order to meet consumer demand for the fall hunting season and holidays. However, the seasonality of our sales trends may evolve over time, unexpectedly, or based on factors outside the control of the Company. These seasonal fluctuations in consumer behavior or demand may reduce our cash on hand, result in fluctuations of inventory levels, and ultimately may require us to raise additional capital through either debt or equity financing arrangement in order to fund our working capital needs.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to decrease in payables, changes in inventory balance, the addition of deferred transaction costs related to the Merger, and a reduction in unearned revenue over prior year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and consisted entirely of additions to capitalized software.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was entirely attributable to higher distributions to owners during the current year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2024 and through the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our audited annual financial statements and the related notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions, basing them on historical experience and various other factors we consider reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to GrabAGun’s audited annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, we believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we consider the most important to the portrayal of our balance sheet and results of operations because they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of all contractual performance obligations and transfer of control to the customer and is measured as the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for corresponding goods or services. Substantially all of our sales are single performance obligation arrangements for retail sale transactions directly from our website for which the transaction price is equivalent to the stated price of the product or service, net of any stated discounts applicable at a point in time. Each sales transaction results in an implicit contract with the customer to deliver a product or service at the point of sale.

Revenue from retail sales, including sales in which products ordered from distributors are shipped directly to customers (“drop-ship” sales arrangements), is recognized upon delivery of merchandise to the customer’s desired location. As we ship large volumes of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available; as such, we estimate delivery dates based on historical data.

Certain revenues earned by us require judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross as principal or net of related costs as an agent, including drop-ship arrangements and third-party shipping and handling costs. For drop-ship arrangements, we have concluded that the Company acts as the principal in the transaction because it maintains control over the product throughout the order process, including directing the shipment, determining the price, and bearing inventory risk. We have determined the Company is the principal in transactions involving shipping and handling costs, as these services are integrated into the fulfillment of the customer’s order and are part of its performance obligation to deliver the product to the customer’s desired location. As such, we have concluded that we are acting as the principal and revenue is recorded gross in net revenues and cost of goods sold within the statements of operations. Sales tax amounts collected from customers that are assessed by a governmental authority are excluded from revenue.

Generally, customers may return non-firearm products within 30 days of purchase. Revenue is recognized net of expected returns, which we estimate using historical return patterns and our expectation of future returns. Sales returns reserve totaled $0.4 million and $0.5 million as of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the balance sheets.

Additionally, we sell gift cards, which do not have expiration dates, and do not deduct non-usage fees from outstanding gift card balances. Gift card sales represent an open performance obligation for the future delivery of promised goods or services to be provided by us and is considered a liability to be subsequently recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer, which is typically within one year of issuance. Over time, a portion of the outstanding balance of gift cards will not be redeemed by the customer, which is referred to as “breakage”. Revenue

is recognized for expected breakage over time in proportion to the pattern of redemption by customers to the extent that breakage revenue is not immaterial. The determination of the gift card breakage is based on historical redemption patterns. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, unredeemed gift card balances were immaterial.

Because we sell firearms direct to consumers from our store-front location and because we receive firearm shipments from other sellers which we provide to the consumer at our store-front location, we are subject to regulation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”). The ATF requires entities that physically transfer firearms to consumers to hold a Federal Firearm License (“FFL”) and to perform certain transfer and background check procedures prior to transferring the firearm to the consumer. Consequently, we are required to hold an FFL and provide our customers with the option to select our location for completing the required firearm transfer and background check procedures. Customers may also select any of a number of other FFL locations that are listed within the United States. If the customer selects a non-Company FFL location, we ship the firearm ordered by the customer directly to the FFL selected by the customer. The customer then completes the necessary firearm transfer and background check procedures at that location. Because we are listed as an FFL location to process firearm transfer and background check procedures, we occasionally receive firearms not purchased from our website for which we have responsibility to complete the necessary transfer and background check procedures prior to transferring the firearm to the consumer. In these cases, we charge a fee for the transfer and background check procedures. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transfer and background check procedures are completed.

Inventory, net

Inventories, which consist primarily of finished firearms and non-firearms goods, are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method and includes the cost of goods and related freight costs, if any.

We record adjustments to inventories, which are reflected in cost of goods sold, if the cost of specific inventory items on hand exceeds the amount that we expect to realize from the ultimate sale or disposal of the inventory. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if necessary. No provision was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

In addition, we record an estimated reserve amount for the net realizable value of expected future inventory returns related to our sale returns reserve. The inventory returns reserve balance was $0.3 million and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in inventory, net within the balance sheets.

Capitalized Software, net

We capitalize certain costs related to the development of our internal-use software, development of our website application, and implementation of certain hosting arrangements related to service contracts in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. These costs consist primarily of internal and external labor and are capitalized during the application development stage, meaning when the research stage is complete, and management has committed to a project to develop software that will be used for its intended purpose. We also capitalize costs incurred during subsequent efforts to significantly upgrade and enhance the functionality of the software. Capitalized costs are included in capitalized software, net within the balance sheets. Amortization of internal-use software costs is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life and begins once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Useful lives range from one to five years, and amortization is included within general and administrative expenses within the statements of operations.
