 our proprietary rights or interruption or cessation of our operations. Any such claims or lawsuit could:

| • |     | be time-consuming and expensive to defend, whether meritorious or not; |

| • |     | require us to stop providing products or services that use the technology that allegedly infringes the other 
 party’s intellectual property;                                                                               |

| • |     | divert the attention of our technical and managerial resources; |

| • |     | require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements with third-parties, which may not be available on 
 terms that we deem acceptable;                                                                             |

| • |     | prevent us from operating all or a portion of our business or force us to redesign our products, services or                                            
 technology platforms, which could be difficult and expensive and may make the performance or value of our product or service offerings less attractive; |

| • |     | subject us to significant liability for damages or result in significant settlement payments; or |

| • |     | require us to indemnify our customers. |

Furthermore, during the course of litigation, confidential information may be disclosed in the form of documents or testimony in connection with discovery requests, depositions or trial testimony. Disclosure of our confidential information and our involvement in intellectual property litigation could materially adversely affect our business. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of intellectual property litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any litigation could significantly harm our relationships with current and prospective customers. Any of the foregoing could disrupt our business and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. 76

Fusemachines depends on its management team and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could adversely affect its business.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. The loss of the services of any
of our key personnel, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel, or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly in engineering and sales, may seriously and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Although we have entered into employment or consulting agreements with our personnel, their employment is generally for no specific duration.

Our future performance also depends on the continued services and continuing contributions of our senior management team, including Sameer
Maskey, our Founder and Chief Executive Officer, to execute on our business plan and to identify and pursue new opportunities and product innovations. The
