 unless CSLM provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding
Public Shares.

CSLM expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any
creditors, will be funded from amounts held outside the Trust Account, although it cannot assure

222

you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing CSLM’s plan of dissolution,
to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, CSLM may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of CSLM’s creditors which would have higher
priority than the claims of CSLM’s Public Shareholders. CSLM cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. See
“Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and CSLM—If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in CSLM’s IPO)” and other risk factors contained herein. While CSLM intends to pay such amounts, if
any, CSLM cannot assure you that CSLM will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although CSLM will
seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than CSLM’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which CSLM does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any
kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of CSLM’s Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing
claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case
