| Q. | If my shares are held                                                           
 in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or nominee, will they automatically 
 vote my shares for me?                                                          |

| A. | No. If you are a beneficial                                                                      
 owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of         
 record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any proposal        
 for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. If a proposal is determined 
 to be discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is permitted to vote on         
 the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. If a proposal is determined         
 to be non-discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is not permitted to         
 vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. The Company believes        
 that the Extension Proposal, Trust Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal will         
 be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or other holder of record        
 holding your shares for you cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the       
 proposals presented. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other                     
 holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a non-discretionary      
 Proposal because the holder of record has not received voting instructions from the beneficial   
 owner.                                                                                           |

Abstentions and broker non-votes,
while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have no effect on the Proposals.
As a result, if you abstain from voting on any of the Proposals, your shares will be counted as present for purposes of establishing
a quorum (if so present in accordance with the terms of the Existing Charter), but the abstention will have no effect on the outcome
of such proposal.

| Q. | What will happen if I                                       
 abstain from voting or fail to vote at the General Meeting? |

| A. | At the General Meeting,                                                                             
 CSLM will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a                        
 particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions 
 will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of
