 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 the proposals. |

If a shareholder who holds share in “street name” does not give the broker voting instructions, the broker is not permitted under applicable self-regulatory organization rules to vote the shares on “non-routine”proposals, such as the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. These “broker non-votes”will also count as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the Proposals.

| Q. | What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote? |

| A. | Signed and dated proxies received by CSLM without an indication of how the shareholder intends to vote on a 
 proposal will be voted as recommended by the Board.                                                         |

| Q. | If I am not going to attend the General Meeting, should I return my proxy card instead? |

| A. | Yes. Whether you plan to attend the General Meeting virtually or not, please read the proxy statement                                       
 carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. |

| Q. | May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card? |

| A. | Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the General Meeting. You may revoke
