CSLM Acquisition Corp. (CSLMF) extends merger deadline to Oct 18, 2025

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

CSLM Acquisition Corp. reported that on October 3, 2025 it deposited $15,000 into its trust account to extend the time it has to complete a business combination to October 18, 2025. This payment keeps the special purpose acquisition company’s structure in place a bit longer while it continues to seek and finalize a merger target.

The company may continue to extend the available time on a semi-monthly basis by depositing an additional $15,000 for each semi-month extension, up to the same October 18, 2025 deadline. This arrangement preserves the SPAC’s ability to complete a deal in the near term while requiring small periodic cash contributions to the trust.
