Business Description

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd (formerly known as, CSLM Acquisition Corporation II, Ltd) (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 26, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target, and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to an initial Business Combination with the Company. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 26, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company may generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash, cash equivalents, and United States Treasury Securities and dividend income from marketable securities purchased from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. On August 28, 2025, the Company consummated the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), including the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 230,000,000 . Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Public Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 891,250 units (the “Private Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Private Units being offered, the “Private Placement Shares”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, CSLM Acquisition Sponsor II, Ltd (the “Sponsor”), and Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (“CCM”), the representative of the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering, generating gross proceeds of $8,912,500. Each Private Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Transaction costs amounted to $ 14,245,395 , consisting of $ 4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee, up to $ 9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee (based on the percentage of funds remaining in the Trust Account after redemptions of Public Shares in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and CCM), and $ 445,395 of other offering costs. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less deferred underwriting commissions). The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).…
