 lead to an economic downturn or recession or have an adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, geopolitical risks could affect our customers’ budgets and policies. These and other factors may adversely

Our business is heavily dependent upon our international operations, particularly in Nepal, and any disruption to those operations would adversely affect us.

Our business and future growth depend largely on
continued demand for our services performed from Nepal. Various factors, such as changes in the governments, could trigger significant changes in Nepal’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies and disrupt business and economic
conditions in Nepal generally and our business in particular. Our business and our international operations may also be affected by actual or threatened trade war or tariffs or other trade controls. If we are unable to continue to leverage the
skills and experience of our international workforce, particularly in Nepal, we may be unable to provide our solutions at an attractive price and our business could be materially and negatively impacted.

We have significant fixed costs related to lease facilities.

We have made and continue to make significant contractual commitments related to our leased facilities. These expenses will have a significant
impact on our fixed costs, and if we are unable to grow our business and revenue proportionately, our operating results may be negatively affected.

Our sites operate on leasehold property, and our inability to renew our leases on commercially acceptable terms or at all may adversely affect
our results of operations.

Our sites operate on leasehold property. Our leases are subject to renewal and we may be unable to renew such
leases on commercially acceptable terms or at all, which may have an adverse impact on our operations. In addition, in the event of non-renewal of our leases, we may be unable to locate suitable replacement properties for our sites or we may
experience delays in relocation that could lead to a disruption in our operations.

Catastrophic events, including those which impact third parties on which we materially rely, could materially adversely affect Fusemachines’ business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

A disruption or failure of our systems or operations, or the systems or operations of a third party on which we materially rely, such as in the
event of a major earthquake, weather event, fire, explosion, failure to contain hazardous materials, industrial accident, utility failure, cyber-attack, IT failure, terrorist attack, public health crisis, pandemic, or other catastrophic event could
