Separate Trading of Units, Ordinary Shares and Warrants

As previously disclosed, on August 28, 2025, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”), which consisted of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value (“Class A Ordinary Share”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000.

As of August 28, 2025, a total of $230,000,000, consisting of the net proceeds received by the Company after deduction for commissions from the IPO and a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement, which amount included up to $9,200,000 in deferred underwriting commissions (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), was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to (i) pay any income, franchise or excise taxes, payable by the Company, and (ii) pay up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of: (1) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination within the required time period; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (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 an initial business combination within the required time period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to our pre-business combination activity and related shareholders’ rights; and (3) the Company’s redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares if the Company has not completed an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.

An audited balance sheet as of August 28, 2025, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
