As previously disclosed, on January 22, 2024, CSLM Acquisition Corp. ("CSLM") entered into a Merger Agreement, by and among CSLM, CSLM Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CSLM ("Merger Sub"), and Fusemachines Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Fusemachines") (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, following the Domestication (as defined below) Merger Sub will merge with and into Fusemachines (the "Merger"), after which Fusemachines will be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSLM (the "Business Combination"). On August 27, 2024, CSLM entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement (the "First Amendment") whereby CSLM shall continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation by means of a merger of CSLM with and into a newly formed Delaware corporation pursuant to the Cayman Islands Companies Law and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, with such newly formed Delaware corporation becoming the surviving corporation in the merger (the "Domestication"). In addition, the First Amendment included a provision that increased the amount the Company may borrow from the Sponsor from $2,000,000 to $2,750,000. On February 4, 2025, CSLM entered into a second amendment to the Merger Agreement (the "2nd Amendment") to (a) amend the definition of the "PIPE Investment Amount" to mean the sum of (i) $8,840,000, and (ii) the Contingent PIPE Investment Amount, if any; and (b) remove the delay fees incurred in connection with delivery of Fusemachines' financial statements. In connection with the 2nd Amendment, an affiliate (the "Sponsor Affiliate") of Consilium Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, CSLM's sponsor (the "Sponsor"), provided financing to Fusemachines in the amount of $2,160,000, in exchange for a new convertible note which note shall convert into shares of common stock of Fusemachines at a price of $0.44 per share (a) automatically at the time of the Business Combination, or (b) on July 12, 2025 at the option of the holder, if not, then payable in cash (the "Escrow Note"). The funds from the Escrow Note shall be put in an escrow account held at Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, CSLM's transfer agent ("CST") pursuant to an escrow agreement among CSLM, the Sponsor Affiliate, Fusemachines and CST (the "Escrow Agreement") and shall be released to the Surviving Corporation upon the consummation of the Business Combination. In addition, the maturity dates on the two promissory notes issued by Fuse to the Sponsor Affiliate on January 25, 2024 in the amounts of $4.5 million and $2 million, were extended to July 12, 2025. On February 4, 2025, in connection with the 2nd Amendment, the parties to that certain Subscription Agreement dated January 25, 2024 among Fusemachines, the Company, the Sponsor and an affiliate of the Sponsor (the "Subscription Agreement"), entered into an amendment to the Subscription Agreement to revise the PIPE Investment Amount to $8,840,000 (the "Subscription Agreement Amendment").

On July 28, 2025, the Company held the Extraordinary Meeting ("Meeting") to approve the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated therewith. On June 9, 2025, the record date for the Meeting, there were 6,116,437 ordinary shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting. This included 6,116,436 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A Shares"), and one Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class B Shares" and together being the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, referred to as the "Shares"). At the Meeting, 5,186,264 or 84.79% of such Shares were represented in person or by proxy.

The final results for each of the matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

#### Forward-Looking Statements
The disclosure herein includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "project," "forecast," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial, performance and operational metrics and projections of market opportunity; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination and the projected future financial performance of Fusemachines following the Proposed Business Combination; (3) changes in the market for Fusemachines' services and technology, expansion plans and opportunities; (4) the sources and uses of cash in connection with the Proposed Business Combination; (5) the anticipated capitalization and enterprise value of the combined company following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; (6) the projected technological developments of Fusemachines; (7) current and future potential commercial and customer relationships; (8) the ability to operate efficiently at scale; (9) anticipated investments in capital resources and research and development, and the effect of these investments; (10) the ability of the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in the future; (11) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; (12) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Fusemachines or CSLM following announcement of the Proposed Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby; (13) the inability to complete the Proposed Business Combination due to, among other things, the failure to obtain CSLM stockholder approval on the expected terms and schedule as well as the risk that regulatory approvals required for the Proposed Business Combination are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; (14) the risk that the Proposed Business Combination or another business combination may not be completed by CSLM's business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline; (15) unexpected costs related to the Proposed Business Combination; (16) limited liquidity and trading of CSLM's securities; (17) geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations; (18) the possibility that CSLM and/or Fusemachines be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (19) the inability to obtain the listing of the combined company's common stock on Nasdaq following the Proposed Business Combination, including but not limited to redemptions exceeding anticipated levels or the failure to meet Nasdaq's initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; and (20) expectations related to the terms and timing of the Proposed Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of CSLM's and Fusemachines' management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of CSLM and Fusemachines. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, as set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in CSLM's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, and/or will be contained in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when available, and in those other documents that CSLM has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties above are not exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither CSLM nor Fusemachines presently know or that CSLM and Fusemachines currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward looking statements reflect CSLM's and Fusemachines's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. CSLM and Fusemachines anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause CSLM's and Fusemachines's assessments to change. However, while CSLM and Fusemachines may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, CSLM and Fusemachines specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing CSLM's and Fusemachines's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

#### No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase, any securities in any jurisdiction, or the solicitation of any vote, consent or approval in any jurisdiction in connection with the Business Combination, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of any securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, such offer, solicitation or sale may be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction.
