Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed, on January 6, 2025, Colombier Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Colombier II”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Metroplex Trading Company LLC (d/b/a GrabAGun.com), a Texas limited liability company (“GrabAGun”), GrabAGun Digital Holdings Inc., a Texas corporation (“Pubco”), Gauge II Merger Sub LLC, a Texas limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“GrabAGun Merger Sub”) and, upon subsequent execution of a joinder agreement, Gauge II Merger Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Colombier Merger Sub”, and the proposed business combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and related transactions, collectively, the “Business Combination”). Assuming that the proposed Business Combination is consummated (the “Closing”), Pubco will be a public company and will carry out the business of GrabAGun. In connection with the Closing, the parties have applied to list Pubco shares and warrants on The New York Stock Exchange under the proposed symbols “PEW” and “PEWW”.

On June 2, 2025, Colombier II and GrabAGun jointly issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that GrabAGun Digital Holdings Inc., as registrant, and GrabAGun, as co-registrant, have submitted to EDGAR, the SEC’s online portal, for filing with the SEC, the second amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with respect to the Business Combination. The press release also notes that GrabAGun revised its investor presentation related to the Business Combination to bring forward certain metrics and information contained in the presentation to be current as of March 31, 2025; a copy of the investor presentation comprises Exhibit 99.1 to Colombier II’s previously-filed Current Report on Form 8-K.

A copy of the Press Release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “continue,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “future,” “outlook” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, references with respect to the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination; GrabAGun’s ability to successfully execute its expansion plans and business initiatives; the sources and uses of cash of the proposed Business Combination; the anticipated capitalization and enterprise value of the combined company following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; and expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of GrabAGun’s and Colombier II’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of GrabAGun and Colombier II. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; the inability of GrabAGun to maintain, and Pubco to obtain, as necessary, any permits necessary for the conduct of GrabAGun’s business, including federal firearm licenses issued pursuant to the Gun Control Act, 18 USC 921 et seq. and special occupational taxpayer stamps issued pursuant to the National Firearms Act, 26 USC 5849 et seq.; the disqualification, revocation or modification of the status of those persons designated by GrabAGun as Responsible Persons, as such term is defined in 18 U.S.C. 841(s); the ability to maintain the listing of Colombier II’s securities on a national securities exchange; the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of Pubco’s securities on the NYSE following the Business Combination; costs related to the Business Combination; changes in business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; risks relating to GrabAGun’s operations and business, including information technology and cybersecurity risks, and deterioration in relationships between GrabAGun and its employees; GrabAGun’s ability to successfully collaborate with business partners; demand for GrabAGun’s current and future offerings; risks that orders that have been placed for GrabAGun’s products are cancelled or modified; risks related to increased competition; risks that GrabAGun is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; risks of product liability or regulatory lawsuits relating to GrabAGun’s products; risks that the post-combination company experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner, or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Colombier II’s securities; the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed by Colombier II’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Colombier II; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against GrabAGun, Colombier II, Pubco or others with respect to the proposed Business Combination and transactions contemplated thereby; the ability of GrabAGun to execute its business model; and those risk factors discussed in documents of Pubco and Colombier II filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Colombier II nor GrabAGun presently know or that Colombier II and GrabAGun currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Colombier II’s, Pubco’s and GrabAGun’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Colombier II, Pubco and GrabAGun anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Colombier II’s, Pubco’s and GrabAGun’s assessments to change. However, while Colombier II, Pubco and GrabAGun may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Colombier II, Pubco and GrabAGun specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Readers are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by Colombier II. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by U.S. federal securities laws.
