Risk Factors Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors related to New Fusemachines' business and operations and the Business Combination set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled " Risk Factors ," which information is incorporated herein by reference. Ongoing and escalating political volatility in Nepal may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Nepal has experienced significant governmental turnover since the 2008 abolition of the country's monarchy government. Beginning on September 8, 2025, thousands of demonstrators converged on central Kathmandu to protest alleged entrenched corruption, high unemployment, and perceived democratic backsliding. Security forces responded violently. Parallel and subsequent protests, demonstrations, and work stoppages have disrupted transportation and public services nationwide. Should similar or further unrest occur, we could face, among other things: restrictions on the movement of personnel and goods; interruptions to supply chains; delays in permitting or licensing; selective enforcement or abrupt changes in tax, labor, foreign-exchange, or investment regulations; increased security costs; and reputational damage. There can be no assurance that Nepal's government will stabilize, that further violent protests will not occur, or that new regulations or emergency decrees will not materially impair our operations in the country. Any of the foregoing events, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Financial Information The audited financial statements of CSLM for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 included in
