RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kand our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,and in the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in the aforementioned filings and below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.

We may not be able to complete the Proposed Business Combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

CSLM’s sponsor, CSLM Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, is
controlled by US persons and CSLM’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are also US persons. CSLM has one independent director that resides outside the United States, however, we do not anticipate that he will be
affiliated with the company upon completion of a business combination. In addition, the Target for the Business Combination is a US company with US management. For these reasons, we believe that CSLM should not be considered a “foreign
person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and should not be considered as such in the future. However, the Proposed Business Combination with a U.S. business may be subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the
Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“F
