 common stock less attractive to investors.

We are a “smaller reporting company” and an “emerging growth company” under U.S. federal
securities laws. For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies, including
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. Furthermore, as an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of exemptions from certain reporting requirements including not
being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation. Investors may not find our common
stock attractive because we may rely on these exemptions and reduced disclosures. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more
volatile.

We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our
common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates
exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

We will remain an emerging
growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of CSLM’s IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.23 billion, or
(c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and
(2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
