CSLM ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Organization and General
CSLM ACQUISITION CORP. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on April 13, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements include CSLM Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSLM Acquisition Corp. and are presented on a consolidated basis (the “Financial Statements”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic location for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from April 13, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below, and pursuit of a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate
non-operating
income in the form of investment income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
On July 13, 2023, the Company submitted a certificate of incorporation of name change to the Cayman Islands Registry of Companies to change our name from “Consilium Acquisition Corp I, LTD.” to “CSLM Acquisition Corp.”. The name change of the Company to CSLM Acquisition Corp. was effected on Nasdaq at the open of trading on July 18, 2023 and continued trading under the same ticker symbol “CSLM”. The name change does not affect the rights of the Company’s securities holders.
Financing
On January 18, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 18,975,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 2,475,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”), one right to acquire
one-tenth
of an Ordinary Share, and
one-half
of one redeemable warrant
of the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $189,750,000.
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 7,942,500 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Consilium Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,942,500. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)); (2) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.
A total of $2,250,000 was deposited to the Company’s operating account and a total of $191,647,500, comprised of a portion of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the Company’s completion of an initial business combination; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination by October 18, 2024 after depositing $70,000 into the Trust Account for each one month Extension or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial
business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed its initial business combination by October 18, 2024, subject to applicable law.
 
5

On July 13, 2023 as approved by its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on July 13, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), The Company, and its trustee, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company amended (the “Amendment”) the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) and the Company, in order to allow the Company to extend the time to complete a business combination by fifteen (15) additional one (1) month periods until, October 18, 2024 (the “Termination Date” or the “Combination Period”). The Company is required to deposit $70,000 into the Trust Account for each of the fifteen (15) additional one (1) month extension periods. At the Special Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved a special resolution to the Articles of Association to extend the time to consummate a business combination until October 18, 2024 and the Amendment in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association (the “Articles of Association”).
In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special Meeting, 14,202,813 Class A shares were tendered for redemption. Shareholders validly redeemed their shares for $149,486,187, or approximately $10.53 per class A share. The trustee processed the redemptions on July 11, 2023 and distributed amounts from the Trust Account to the redeeming shareholders on July 26, 2023.
Immediately after the Special Meeting, the Company extended the time to complete the business combination by one (1) month to August 18, 2023, and deposited the sum of $70,000 into the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has exercised twelve (12) of the fifteen (15) additional one (1) month extension periods, depositing an aggregate of $840,000 into the Trust Account, to extend the time to complete the business combination to July 18, 2024. On July 17, 2024, the Company deposited $70,000 into the Trust Account to extend the time to complete the business combination by one (1) month from July 18, 2024 to August 18, 2024 (see Note 9).
Merger Agreement
On January 22, 2024, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, CSLM Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Fusemachines Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fusemachines”) (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”).

Risks and Uncertainties
Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine and the middle east.
Any of the foregoing consequences, including those we cannot yet predict, may cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price of our ordinary shares to be adversely affected. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Going Concern Consideration
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $62,710 and $138,283 in cash, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $2,834,967 and $1,676,487, respectively, excluding Marketing Securities held in the Trust Account and the Deferred Underwriter Fee liability.
The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2024 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B ordinary shares” and shares thereof, “founder shares”), the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants (see Note 3 and Note 4). Additionally, the Company drew on an unsecured promissory note to pay certain offering costs and an unsecured promissory note bearing interest at 4.75% per annum for working capital needs.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period within one year after the date that the Financial Statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through related party loans from the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates (“Working Capital Loans”) (see Note 5) and effecting a Business Combination. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period.
The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
7

The accompanying Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 
30
, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim periods
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 18, 2022, an amount of $191,647,500 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in the Trust Account and may be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial
Business Combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the public shareholders as part of redemption of the public shares.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per Class A redeemable ordinary shares and income (loss) per
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares following the
two-class
method of income per common stock. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares, the Company first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of stock. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was treated as dividends paid to the public shareholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, the Company split the amount to be allocated using the total number of shares outstanding for each share class at each respective period, before and after redemptions and conversions, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, reflective of the respective participation rights. The Company split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 80% for the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and 20% for the
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, reflective of the respective participation rights.

Fair value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Fair value measurements are classified on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:
 
   
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
 
   
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
   
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as calculations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
In many cases, if a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy described above, the lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then
re-valued
at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or
non-current
based on whether or not
net-cash
settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
11

Warrants and Rights
The Company accounts for the public and private warrants and rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Pursuant to the Company’s evaluation, the Company concluded that the public and private warrants and rights do not meet the criteria to be accounted for as liability under ASC 480. The Company further evaluated the public and private warrants and rights under “ASC
815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC
815-40”)
and concluded that the public warrants, private placement warrants and rights are indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ deficit.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special meeting of shareholders held by the Company on June 29, 2023, 14,202,813 Class A ordinary shares were tendered for redemption for an aggregate value of $149,486,187 and distributed from the Trust Account on July 26, 2023. Accordingly, at June 30, 2024, 4,772,187 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented, at redemption value equal to the amount held in the Trust Account, as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet.
 
12

The proceeds of the offering were allocated to the Class A ordinary shares and the Public Warrants and Rights based on their relative fair values. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares
s
ubject to possible redemption immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional
paid-in
capital, or in the absence of additional capital, in accumulated deficit. The Company has recorded remeasurements of $899,680 and
$
2,318,917 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1,789,022 and $4,424,169 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability, method as required by this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to the period when assets are realized or liability is settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the operation of statement in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
 
13

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or
income
tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was
zero
for the period presented.
Covenant Fees
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Fusemachines is covenanted to deliver to the Company its audited financial statements for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (the “Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements”) for inclusion in the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”), and that such Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis and in accordance with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for public companies. Fusemachines has covenanted to provide the Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements no later than February 29, 2024, or incur delay fees in the amount equal to $35,000 for the first one-month delay to March 31, 2024 (pro-rated for a partial month), $50,000 for the second one-month delay to April 30, 2024 and thereafter $70,000 for each subsequent one-month delay (pro-rated for any partial month). As of June 30, 2024, Fusemachines has not provided the Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements to the Company. As such, the Company has recorded $190,000 and $225,000 of covenant fees as other income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and as an other receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024. Collection of the covenant fees is not probable as of June 30, 2024. As such, the Company established a reserve for credit losses against the other receivable. The Company has recorded $225,000 to credit losses as other expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Related Parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. Exposure to cash and cash equivalents credit risk is reduced by placing such deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU
2023-09”),
which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU
2023-09
will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU
2023-09
will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU
2023-09.
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no additional new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on the current information.
NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 18,975,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary shares, one right and
one-half
of one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant is anticipated to entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).
An aggregate of $10.10 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering was held in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule
2a-7
of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company.
NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT
The Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,942,500 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $7,942,500 in the aggregate in a private placement that occurred substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of ordinary shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants will be added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
In July 2021, the Sponsor purchased 4,743,750 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 618,750 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s overallotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares collectively represented approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. In August 2021, the Sponsor transferred 50,000 founder shares to each of the Company’s independent director nominees. The Company will account for the transfer of founder shares under ASC
718-10-15-4
and record a compensation expense upon completion of a Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share capitalization, share subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
30-trading
day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into a support services agreement, commencing on the effective date of the initial public offering, pursuant to which the Company will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The Sponsor has waived all payments under the support services agreement. The Company has recorded the waived payments as capital contributions from the Sponsor and has recorded $30,000 and $0 to the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $60,000 and $0 to the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Promissory Note — Related Party
In July 2021, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. On January 18, 2022, the Company repaid $206,313 for amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note balance, resulting in an overpayment of $25,000. The Company also made payments related to Sponsor invoices. These items are recorded within due from related party on the condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
In February 2023, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “WC Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The WC Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum and is payable on the earlier of the date by which the Company has to complete a business combination or the effective date of a business combination. On January 18, 2024, the Company issued an amended and restated promissory note (the “A&R WC Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000. The A&R WC Promissory Note does not amend any other existing terms. The Company drew an aggregate of $2,130,000 and has accrued $70,616 of interest on principal amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and drew an aggregate of $1,230,000 and has accrued $28,288 of interest on principal amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had drawn $130,000 in excess of the $2,000,000 borrowing base. The Company has recorded accrued interest on the $130,000 in excess of the borrowing base as of June 30, 2024.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, of the post Business Combination entity. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

NOTE 6 — SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special meeting of shareholders held by the Company on June 29, 2023, 14,202,813 redeemable Class A ordinary shares were tendered for redemption for an aggregate value of $149,486,187 and distributed from the Trust Account on July 26, 2023. On July 13, 2023, the Company issued 4,743,749 shares of its
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B ordinary shares. The
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares are the same as the Class B ordinary shares in that they do not have redemption rights and are not entitled to proceeds from liquidation from the Trust Account if the Company does not consummate a business combination. However, unlike the Class B ordinary shares, the
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares do not have voting rights to appoint or remove directors of the Company. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 4,743,749
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding 4,772,187 redeemable Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding subject to possible redemption, at redemption value.
Class B Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On July 13, 2023, the Company issued 4,743,749 shares of its
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B ordinary shares. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was one (1) shares of Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including any vote in connection with our initial business combination, except as required by law, holders of our Founder Shares and holders of our public shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote. However, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors and may remove members of the board of directors for any reason.
The shares of Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a
one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an
as-converted
basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and excluding any private placement warrants issued to our sponsor, its affiliates or any member of our management team upon conversion of working capital loans.
Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive
one-tenth
(1/10) of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its
pre-business
combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the
one-tenth
(1/10) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination.
 
16

The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands law. As a result, the holders of the rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company redeems the Public Shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless.
Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless a unit holder purchases at least two units, they will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (b) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Public Warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless the share of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon such Public Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Public Warrants.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the public warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the public warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares is at the time of any exercise of a public warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, public warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise public warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a) (9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the public warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
 
   
in whole and not in part;
 
   
at a price of $
0.01
per warrant;
 
   
upon not less than
30
days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
 
   
if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $
18.00
per share for any
20
trading days within a
30-trading
day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
 
17

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are
non-redeemable
by the Company.
NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders will have the right to require us to register for resale these securities pursuant to a shelf registration under Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The holders of a majority of these securities will also be entitled to make up to three demands, plus short form registration demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders will be entitled to certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriter a
45-day
option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 2,475,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on January 18, 2022, the date of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,795,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,641,250 in the aggregate. The deferred fee is payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
On November 28, 2023, the Company and the underwriter entered into an agreement under which (i) the Sponsor will transfer 426,000 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor to the underwriter upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the underwriter will waive the deferred underwriter fee payable and any deferred underwriting commissions payable pursuant to the underwriter agreement dated April 22, 2021. For avoidance of doubt, the agreement applies only if the initial Business Combination is consummated, and the transfer of shares is effective and completed. Except as specifically amended in the agreement, all terms of the underwriting agreement dated April 22, 2021 shall remain in full force and effect.
Consulting Agreements
The Sponsor entered into consulting services agreements (the “Consulting Services Agreements”) with a service provider (the “Consultant”) on April 10, 2023 and September 5, 2023 to provide consulting, advisory and related services to the Sponsor and to the Company on behalf of the Sponsor. In accordance with the Consulting Services Agreements, the Consultant will purchase and the Sponsor will sell 75,000 shares of its Class B ordinary shares of the Company at a price of $0.006 per share in return for such services. The Consulting Services Agreements are contingent upon the consummation of the initial business combination. Compensation due to the Consultant is in scope of ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and SAB Topic 5T. The consummation of the initial business combination is considered a performance condition under ASC 718 and stock based compensation should not be recognized until the performance condition is considered probable. As business combinations are not considered probable until consummated, the Company will not recognize compensation costs related to the Consulting Services Agreements until the consummation of the initial business combination.
Capital Markets Advisory Agreement
The Company entered into a capital markets advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with a service provider (the “Advisor”) on June 21, 2024 to provide capital markets advisory services to the Company. In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will be paid an advisory fee comprised of $100,000 in cash and 75,000 common shares of the post initial business combination entity (the “Advisory Fee”). The Advisory agreement is contingent upon consummation of the initial business combination. The cash compensation due to the Advisor is in scope of ASC 450 Contingencies (“ASC 450”) and the share based compensation due to the Advisor is in scope of ASC 718. The consummation of the initial business combination is considered a loss contingency under ASC 450 and is considered a performance condition under ASC 718 and the Advisory Fee should not be recognized until considered probable. As business combinations are not considered probable until consummated, the Company will not recognize compensation costs related to the Advisory Fee until the consummation of the initial business combination.

Overview

CSLM Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on April 13, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic location for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from April 13, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and pursuit of a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

On July 13, 2023, the Company submitted a certificate of incorporation of name change to the Cayman Islands Registry of Companies to change our name from “Consilium Acquisition Corp I, LTD.” to “CSLM Acquisition Corp.”. The name change of the Company to CSLM Acquisition Corp. was effected on Nasdaq at the open of trading on July 18, 2023 and continued trading under the same ticker symbol “CSLM”. The name change does not affect the rights of the Company’s securities holders.

On January 18, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 18,975,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 2,475,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”), one right to acquire one-tenth of an Ordinary Share, and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $189,750,000.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 7,942,500 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Consilium Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,942,500. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as

they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)); (2) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.

A total of $2,250,000 was deposited to the Company’s operating account and a total of $191,647,500, comprised of a portion of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the Company’s completion of an initial business combination; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination by October 18, 2024 after depositing $70,000 into the Trust Account for each one-month Extension or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed its initial business combination by October 18, 2024, subject to applicable law.

On July 13, 2023 as approved by its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on July 13, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), The Company, and its trustee, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company amended (the “Amendment”) the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) and the Company, in order to allow the Company to extend the time to complete a business combination by fifteen (15) additional one (1) month periods until, October 18, 2024 (the “Termination Date” or the “Combination Period”). The Company is required to deposit $70,000 into the Trust Account for each one-month Extension.

In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special Meeting, 14,202,813 Class A shares were tendered for redemption. Shareholders validly redeemed their shares for $149,486,187, or approximately $10.53 per class A share. The trustee processed the redemptions on July 11, 2023 and distributed amounts from the Trust Account to the redeeming shareholders on July 26, 2023.

Immediately after the Special Meeting, the Company extended the time to complete the business combination by one (1) month to August 18, 2023, and deposited the sum of $70,000 into the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has exercised twelve (12) of the fifteen (15) additional one (1) month extension periods, depositing an aggregate of $840,000 into the Trust Account, to extend the time to complete the business combination to July 18, 2024. On July 17, 2024, the Company deposited $70,000 into the Trust Account to extend the time to complete the business combination by one (1) month from July 18, 2024 to August 18, 2024.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from inception through June 30, 2024 relates to our formation, the Initial Public Offering and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, a search for a Business Combination candidate.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $2,093,294, which consisted of $433,018 realized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and $1,885,899 of dividends on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, offset by $62,906 in legal and accounting expenses, $119,110 of insurance expense, $37,794 dues and subscriptions expense, and $5,813 of interest, general and administrative expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $3,711,924, which consisted of $2,538,270 realized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and $1,885,899 of dividends on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, offset by $326,532 in legal and accounting expenses, $236,912 of insurance expense, $140,940 dues and subscriptions expense, and $7,861 of interest, general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $62,710 and $138,283 in cash, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $2,834,967 and $1,676,487, respectively, excluding Marketing Securities held in the Trust Account and the Deferred Underwriter Fee liability.

The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2024 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B ordinary shares” and shares thereof, “founder shares”), the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants. Additionally, the Company drew on an unsecured promissory note to pay certain offering costs and an unsecured promissory note bearing interest at 4.75% per annum to pay for working capital needs.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through related party loans from the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates (“Working Capital Loans”) and effecting a Business Combination. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. In addition, management is currently evaluating the impact of various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2024.

The underwriter of the IPO is entitled to a deferred discount of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,641,250 in the aggregate. The deferred discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On November 28, 2023, the Company and the underwriter entered into an agreement under which (i) the Sponsor will transfer 426,000 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor to the underwriter upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the underwriter will waive the deferred underwriter fee payable and any deferred underwriting commissions payable pursuant to the underwriter agreement dated April 22, 2021. For avoidance of doubt, the agreement applies only if the initial Business Combination is consummated, and the transfer of shares is effective and completed. Except as specifically amended in the agreement, all terms of the underwriting agreement dated April 22, 2021 shall remain in full force and effect.

Commitments and Contingencies

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders will have the right to require us to register for resale these securities pursuant to a shelf registration under Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The holders of a majority of these securities will also be entitled to make up to three demands, plus short form registration demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders will be entitled to certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 2,475,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on January 18, 2022, the date of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,795,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,641,250 in the aggregate. The deferred fee is payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On November 28, 2023, the Company and BTIG entered into an agreement under which BTIG waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation and instead receive 426,000 Class A ordinary shares from shares held by the Sponsor only in the event of the closing of a Business Combination. Accordingly, BTIG will not receive any portion of the $6,641,250 deferred underwriting fee in the event of the closing of a Business Combination. Pursuant to the Waiver, BTIG resigned from every capacity, role or involvement in which BTIG may otherwise be described in any registration statement as acting or agreeing to act in the future with respect to any business combination of CSLM and/or its Sponsor. The Company has agreed to register shares received by BTIG from Consilium Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC, the Company’s Sponsor, upon the closing of its initial Business Combination. In the event that such shares are not registered, the underwriter’s deferred fee shall be reinstated.

Founder Transaction Bonus Agreement

The founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fusemachines (the “Executive”) is eligible to receive a transaction bonus in cash equal to the lesser of (i) 20% of each dollar of Parent closing cash in excess of $1,000,000, and (ii) $1,000,000 at the time of the closing of the business combination (the “Closing”). The Founder Transaction Bonus Agreement is subject to (i) the Executive actively supporting and working towards the completion of all of the requirements necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Company and Parent, prior to the Closing, (ii) the Executive continuing to be employed in good standing by the Company from the date hereof through the Closing, and (iii) the Closing of the Merger. If all of the foregoing conditions are satisfied, the Founder Transaction Bonus Agreement amount shall be paid to the Executive concurrently with the Closing.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us or any of our officers or directors in their corporate capacity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales

Prior to our initial public offering, our sponsor, paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of us in exchange for 4,743,750 founder shares, resulting in an effective purchase price paid for the founder shares of approximately $0.006 per share. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon completion of this offering.

Our sponsor purchased 7,942,500 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($7,942,500 in the aggregate), in a private placement that closed substantially concurrently with the closing of our initial public offering.

These issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.

Use of Proceeds

On January 18, 2022, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 18,975,000 units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $189,750,000. BTIG, LLC and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. acted as the book-running managers of the offering and BTIG, LLC acted as the representative of the underwriters. The securities sold in the initial public offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-261570). The SEC declared the registration statements effective on January 12, 2022.

In connection with the initial public offering, we incurred offering costs of approximately $11,236,250 (including deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $6,641,250). Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of preparation fees related to the initial public offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the initial business combination, if consummated) and the initial public offering expenses, $191,647,500 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering and certain of the proceeds from the private placement of the private placement warrants (or $10.00 per unit sold in the initial public offering) was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the initial public offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants are held in the Trust Account and invested as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On July 13, 2023 as approved by its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on June 29, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), CSLM and its trustee, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company amended (the “Amendment”) the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) and the Company, in order to allow the Company to extend the time to complete a business combination by fifteen (15) additional one (1) month periods until, October 18, 2024 (the “Termination Date”) by depositing into the Trust Account $70,000 for each one-month extension (each an “Extension”).

In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special Meeting, 14,202,813 Class A shares were tendered for redemption.

On July 13, 2023, as was approved by the shareholders at the Special Meeting, the Company submitted a certificate of incorporation of name change to the Cayman Islands Registry of Companies to change our name from “Consilium Acquisition Corp I, LTD.” to “CSLM Acquisition Corp.” The name change of the Company to CSLM Acquisition Corp. was effected on Nasdaq at the open of trading on July 18, 2023 and continued trading under the same ticker symbol “CSLM”.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization and Business Background
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Organization and General
CSLM ACQUISITION CORP. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on April 13, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements include CSLM Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSLM Acquisition Corp. and are presented on a consolidated basis (the “Financial Statements”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic location for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from April 13, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below, and pursuit of a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate
non-operating
income in the form of investment income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
On July 13, 2023, the Company submitted a certificate of incorporation of name change to the Cayman Islands Registry of Companies to change our name from “Consilium Acquisition Corp I, LTD.” to “CSLM Acquisition Corp.”. The name change of the Company to CSLM Acquisition Corp. was effected on Nasdaq at the open of trading on July 18, 2023 and continued trading under the same ticker symbol “CSLM”. The name change does not affect the rights of the Company’s securities holders.
Financing
On January 18, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 18,975,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 2,475,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”), one right to acquire
one-tenth
of an Ordinary Share, and
one-half
of one redeemable warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $189,750,000.
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 7,942,500 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Consilium Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,942,500. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)); (2) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.
A total of $2,250,000 was deposited to the Company’s operating account and a total of $191,647,500, comprised of a portion of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the Company’s completion of an initial business combination; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination by October 18, 2024 after depositing $70,000 into the Trust Account for each one month Extension or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial
business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed its initial business combination by October 18, 2024, subject to applicable law.
 
On July 13, 2023 as approved by its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on July 13, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), The Company, and its trustee, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company amended (the “Amendment”) the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) and the Company, in order to allow the Company to extend the time to complete a business combination by fifteen (15) additional one (1) month periods until, October 18, 2024 (the “Termination Date” or the “Combination Period”). The Company is required to deposit $70,000 into the Trust Account for each of the fifteen (15) additional one (1) month extension periods. At the Special Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved a special resolution to the Articles of Association to extend the time to consummate a business combination until October 18, 2024 and the Amendment in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association (the “Articles of Association”).
In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special Meeting, 14,202,813 Class A shares were tendered for redemption. Shareholders validly redeemed their shares for $149,486,187, or approximately $10.53 per class A share. The trustee processed the redemptions on July 11, 2023 and distributed amounts from the Trust Account to the redeeming shareholders on July 26, 2023.
Immediately after the Special Meeting, the Company extended the time to complete the business combination by one (1) month to August 18, 2023, and deposited the sum of $70,000 into the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has exercised twelve (12) of the fifteen (15) additional one (1) month extension periods, depositing an aggregate of $840,000 into the Trust Account, to extend the time to complete the business combination to July 18, 2024. On July 17, 2024, the Company deposited $70,000 into the Trust Account to extend the time to complete the business combination by one (1) month from July 18, 2024 to August 18, 2024 (see Note 9).
Merger Agreement
On January 22, 2024, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, CSLM Merger Sub Inc. (“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, Merger Sub will merge with and into Fusemachines, after which Fusemachines will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine and the middle east.
Any of the foregoing consequences, including those we cannot yet predict, may cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price of our ordinary shares to be adversely affected. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Going Concern Consideration
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $62,710 and $138,283 in cash, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $2,834,967 and $1,676,487, respectively, excluding Marketing Securities held in the Trust Account and the Deferred Underwriter Fee liability.
The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2024 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B ordinary shares” and shares thereof, “founder shares”), the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants (see Note 3 and Note 4). Additionally, the Company drew on an unsecured promissory note to pay certain offering costs and an unsecured promissory note bearing interest at 4.75% per annum for working capital needs.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period within one year after the date that the Financial Statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through related party loans from the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates (“Working Capital Loans”) (see Note 5) and effecting a Business Combination. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period.
The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
The accompanying Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 
30
, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim periods
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 18, 2022, an amount of $191,647,500 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in the Trust Account and may be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial
Business Combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the public shareholders as part of redemption of the public shares.
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per Class A redeemable ordinary shares and income (loss) per
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares following the
two-class
method of income per common stock. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares, the Company first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of stock. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was treated as dividends paid to the public shareholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, the Company split the amount to be allocated using the total number of shares outstanding for each share class at each respective period, before and after redemptions and conversions, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, reflective of the respective participation rights. The Company split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 80% for the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and 20% for the
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, reflective of the respective participation rights.

Fair value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Fair value measurements are classified on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:
 
   
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
 
   
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
   
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as calculations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
In many cases, if a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy described above, the lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then
re-valued
at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or
non-current
based on whether or not
net-cash
settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
Warrants and Rights
The Company accounts for the public and private warrants and rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Pursuant to the Company’s evaluation, the Company concluded that the public and private warrants and rights do not meet the criteria to be accounted for as liability under ASC 480. The Company further evaluated the public and private warrants and rights under “ASC
815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC
815-40”)
and concluded that the public warrants, private placement warrants and rights are indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ deficit.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special meeting of shareholders held by the Company on June 29, 2023, 14,202,813 Class A ordinary shares were tendered for redemption for an aggregate value of $149,486,187 and distributed from the Trust Account on July 26, 2023. Accordingly, at June 30, 2024, 4,772,187 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented, at redemption value equal to the amount held in the Trust Account, as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet.
 
The proceeds of the offering were allocated to the Class A ordinary shares and the Public Warrants and Rights based on their relative fair values. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares
s
ubject to possible redemption immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional
paid-in
capital, or in the absence of additional capital, in accumulated deficit. The Company has recorded remeasurements of $899,680 and
$
2,318,917 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1,789,022 and $4,424,169 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability, method as required by this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to the period when assets are realized or liability is settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the operation of statement in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
 
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or
income
tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was
zero
for the period presented.
Covenant Fees
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Fusemachines is covenanted to deliver to the Company its audited financial statements for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (the “Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements”) for inclusion in the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”), and that such Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis and in accordance with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for public companies. Fusemachines has covenanted to provide the Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements no later than February 29, 2024, or incur delay fees in the amount equal to $35,000 for the first one-month delay to March 31, 2024 (pro-rated for a partial month), $50,000 for the second one-month delay to April 30, 2024 and thereafter $70,000 for each subsequent one-month delay (pro-rated for any partial month). As of June 30, 2024, Fusemachines has not provided the Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements to the Company. As such, the Company has recorded $190,000 and $225,000 of covenant fees as other income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and as an other receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024. Collection of the covenant fees is not probable as of June 30, 2024. As such, the Company established a reserve for credit losses against the other receivable. The Company has recorded $225,000 to credit losses as other expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Related Parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. Exposure to cash and cash equivalents credit risk is reduced by placing such deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU
2023-09”),
which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU
2023-09
will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU
2023-09
will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU
2023-09.
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no additional new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on the current information.

718-10-15-4
and record a compensation expense upon completion of a Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share capitalization, share subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
30-trading
day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into a support services agreement, commencing on the effective date of the initial public offering, pursuant to which the Company will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The Sponsor has waived all payments under the support services agreement. The Company has recorded the waived payments as capital contributions from the Sponsor and has recorded $30,000 and $0 to the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $60,000 and $0 to the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Promissory Note — Related Party
In July 2021, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. On January 18, 2022, the Company repaid $206,313 for amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note balance, resulting in an overpayment of $25,000. The Company also made payments related to Sponsor invoices. These items are recorded within due from related party on the condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
In February 2023, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “WC Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The WC Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum and is payable on the earlier of the date by which the Company has to complete a business combination or the effective date of a business combination. On January 18, 2024, the Company issued an amended and restated promissory note (the “A&R WC Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000. The A&R WC Promissory Note does not amend any other existing terms. The Company drew an aggregate of $2,130,000 and has accrued $70,616 of interest on principal amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and drew an aggregate of $1,230,000 and has accrued $28,288 of interest on principal amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had drawn $130,000 in excess of the $2,000,000 borrowing base. The Company has recorded accrued interest on the $130,000 in excess of the borrowing base as of June 30, 2024.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, of the post Business Combination entity. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT
NOTE 6 — SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special meeting of shareholders held by the Company on June 29, 2023, 14,202,813 redeemable Class A ordinary shares were tendered for redemption for an aggregate value of $149,486,187 and distributed from the Trust Account on July 26, 2023. On July 13, 2023, the Company issued 4,743,749 shares of its
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B ordinary shares. The
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares are the same as the Class B ordinary shares in that they do not have redemption rights and are not entitled to proceeds from liquidation from the Trust Account if the Company does not consummate a business combination. However, unlike the Class B ordinary shares, the
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares do not have voting rights to appoint or remove directors of the Company. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 4,743,749
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding 4,772,187 redeemable Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding subject to possible redemption, at redemption value.
Class B Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On July 13, 2023, the Company issued 4,743,749 shares of its
non-redeemable
Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B ordinary shares. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was one (1) shares of Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including any vote in connection with our initial business combination, except as required by law, holders of our Founder Shares and holders of our public shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote. However, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors and may remove members of the board of directors for any reason.
The shares of Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a
one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an
as-converted
basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and excluding any private placement warrants issued to our sponsor, its affiliates or any member of our management team upon conversion of working capital loans.
Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive
one-tenth
(1/10) of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its
pre-business
combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the
one-tenth
(1/10) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination.
 
The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands law. As a result, the holders of the rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company redeems the Public Shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless.
Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless a unit holder purchases at least two units, they will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (b) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Public Warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless the share of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon such Public Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Public Warrants.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the public warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the public warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares is at the time of any exercise of a public warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, public warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise public warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a) (9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the public warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
 
   
in whole and not in part;
 
   
at a price of $
0.01
per warrant;
 
   
upon not less than
30
days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
 
   
if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $
18.00
per share for any
20
trading days within a
30-trading
day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
 
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are
non-redeemable
by the Company.

Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders will have the right to require us to register for resale these securities pursuant to a shelf registration under Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The holders of a majority of these securities will also be entitled to make up to three demands, plus short form registration demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders will be entitled to certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriter a
45-day
option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 2,475,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on January 18, 2022, the date of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,795,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,641,250 in the aggregate. The deferred fee is payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
On November 28, 2023, the Company and the underwriter entered into an agreement under which (i) the Sponsor will transfer 426,000 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor to the underwriter upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the underwriter will waive the deferred underwriter fee payable and any deferred underwriting commissions payable pursuant to the underwriter agreement dated April 22, 2021. For avoidance of doubt, the agreement applies only if the initial Business Combination is consummated, and the transfer of shares is effective and completed. Except as specifically amended in the agreement, all terms of the underwriting agreement dated April 22, 2021 shall remain in full force and effect.
Consulting Agreements
The Sponsor entered into consulting services agreements (the “Consulting Services Agreements”) with a service provider (the “Consultant”) on April 10, 2023 and September 5, 2023 to provide consulting, advisory and related services to the Sponsor and to the Company on behalf of the Sponsor. In accordance with the Consulting Services Agreements, the Consultant will purchase and the Sponsor will sell 75,000 shares of its Class B ordinary shares of the Company at a price of $0.006 per share in return for such services. The Consulting Services Agreements are contingent upon the consummation of the initial business combination. Compensation due to the Consultant is in scope of ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and SAB Topic 5T. The consummation of the initial business combination is considered a performance condition under ASC 718 and stock based compensation should not be recognized until the performance condition is considered probable. As business combinations are not considered probable until consummated, the Company will not recognize compensation costs related to the Consulting Services Agreements until the consummation of the initial business combination.
Capital Markets Advisory Agreement
The Company entered into a capital markets advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with a service provider (the “Advisor”) on June 21, 2024 to provide capital markets advisory services to the Company. In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will be paid an advisory fee comprised of $100,000 in cash and 75,000 common shares of the post initial business combination entity (the “Advisory Fee”). The Advisory agreement is contingent upon consummation of the initial business combination. The cash compensation due to the Advisor is in scope of ASC 450 Contingencies (“ASC 450”) and the share based compensation due to the Advisor is in scope of ASC 718. The consummation of the initial business combination is considered a loss contingency under ASC 450 and is considered a performance condition under ASC 718 and the Advisory Fee should not be recognized until considered probable. As business combinations are not considered probable until consummated, the Company will not recognize compensation costs related to the Advisory Fee until the consummation of the initial business combination.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
The accompanying Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 
30
, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim periods
Emerging Growth Company
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 18, 2022, an amount of $191,647,500 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in the Trust Account and may be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial
Business Combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the public shareholders as part of redemption of the public shares.
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per Class A redeemable ordinary shares and income (loss) per
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares following the
two-class
method of income per common stock. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares, the Company first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of stock. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was treated as dividends paid to the public shareholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, the Company split the amount to be allocated using the total number of shares outstanding for each share class at each respective period, before and after redemptions and conversions, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, reflective of the respective participation rights. The Company split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 80% for the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and 20% for the
non-redeemable
Class A and Class B ordinary shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, reflective of the respective participation rights.

Fair value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Fair value measurements are classified on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:
 
   
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
 
   
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
   
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as calculations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
In many cases, if a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy described above, the lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then
re-valued
at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or
non-current
based on whether or not
net-cash
settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Warrants and Rights
Warrants and Rights
The Company accounts for the public and private warrants and rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Pursuant to the Company’s evaluation, the Company concluded that the public and private warrants and rights do not meet the criteria to be accounted for as liability under ASC 480. The Company further evaluated the public and private warrants and rights under “ASC
815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC
815-40”)
and concluded that the public warrants, private placement warrants and rights are indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ deficit.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Special meeting of shareholders held by the Company on June 29, 2023, 14,202,813 Class A ordinary shares were tendered for redemption for an aggregate value of $149,486,187 and distributed from the Trust Account on July 26, 2023. Accordingly, at June 30, 2024, 4,772,187 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented, at redemption value equal to the amount held in the Trust Account, as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet.
 
The proceeds of the offering were allocated to the Class A ordinary shares and the Public Warrants and Rights based on their relative fair values. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares
s
ubject to possible redemption immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional
paid-in
capital, or in the absence of additional capital, in accumulated deficit. The Company has recorded remeasurements of $899,680 and
$
2,318,917 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1,789,022 and $4,424,169 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income taxes
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability, method as required by this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to the period when assets are realized or liability is settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the operation of statement in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
 
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or
income
tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was
zero
for the period presented.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Fusemachines is covenanted to deliver to the Company its audited financial statements for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (the “Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements”) for inclusion in the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”), and that such Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis and in accordance with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for public companies. Fusemachines has covenanted to provide the Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements no later than February 29, 2024, or incur delay fees in the amount equal to $35,000 for the first one-month delay to March 31, 2024 (pro-rated for a partial month), $50,000 for the second one-month delay to April 30, 2024 and thereafter $70,000 for each subsequent one-month delay (pro-rated for any partial month). As of June 30, 2024, Fusemachines has not provided the Fusemachines Audited Financial Statements to the Company. As such, the Company has recorded $190,000 and $225,000 of covenant fees as other income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and as an other receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024. Collection of the covenant fees is not probable as of June 30, 2024. As such, the Company established a reserve for credit losses against the other receivable. The Company has recorded $225,000 to credit losses as other expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Related Parties
Related Parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. Exposure to cash and cash equivalents credit risk is reduced by placing such deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
