 is not completed, those restrictions may make it harder for CSLM to complete an alternate business combination before its liquidation date.

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, neither CSLM nor Fusemachines may solicit,
assist, facilitate the making, submission or announcement of, or intentionally encourage any alternative acquisition proposal, such as a merger, material sale of assets or equity interests or other business combination, with any third party, even
though any such alternative acquisition could be more favorable to their respective shareholders than the Proposed Transaction. In addition, if the Business Combination is not completed, these provisions will make it more difficult for CSLM to
complete an alternative business combination following the termination of the Merger Agreement due to the passage of time during which these provisions have remained in effect.

There is no guarantee that a Public Shareholder’s decision to redeem its Public Shares will put the shareholder in a better future economic position.

CSLM can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the
future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative initial business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in
CSLM’s share price and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of CSLM might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem its shares, the shareholder will
bear the risk of ownership of the Pubco Common Stock after the consummation of the Business Combination and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in
this proxy statement/prospectus. A shareholder should consult the shareholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

CSLM redeem their Public Shares for their respective pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the
Trust Account (which interest will be net of taxes payable). Public Shareholders who seek to exercise this Redemption Right must (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the
