Appointment
of David R. Wells as Consulting Chief Financial Officer
On
September 1, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Fusemachines Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
appointed David R. Wells as the Company’s Consulting Chief Financial Officer, Principal Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting
Officer, effective as of August 30, 2026.
Mr.
Wells, age 64, has more than 30 years of experience in finance, operations and administrative positions, primarily with medical and technology
companies. Since July 2021, Mr. Wells has been the owner of Atlas Bookkeeping, LLC, a Nevada corporation (“Atlas”) where
he provides CFO-level advisory services to public and private companies. Since December 2025, Mr. Wells has served as an Advising CFO
to Functional Brands Inc., (OTC Markets: MEHA) providing CFO guidance following the company’s listing on Nasdaq and subsequent
listing on the OTC Markets. From August 2023 to May 2025, Mr. Wells served as Chief Financial Officer of Envoy Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq:
COCH), where he provided strategic CFO guidance following the company’s deSPAC transaction. From June 2021 to September 2022, Mr.
Wells served as Chief Financial Officer of GHS Investments, LLC, a private equity fund. Since December 2022, Mr. Wells has served as
a member of the Board of Directors of HeartSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSCS). Mr. Wells has a bachelor’s degree in finance and entrepreneurship
from Seattle Pacific University and a master of business administration from Pepperdine Graziadio Business School.
In
connection with Mr. Wells’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, the Company entered into a Services Agreement, dated as of
September 1, 2026 (the “Services Agreement”), with Atlas, pursuant to which Atlas will provide chief financial officer services
to the Company, with Mr. Wells serving as the individual designated by Atlas to perform such services. Mr. Wells will serve as Consulting
Chief Financial Officer until the termination of the Services Agreement or his earlier replacement, resignation, or removal.
Pursuant
to the Services Agreement, the Company will pay Atlas a monthly advisory fee of $14,500 for CFO advisory services. In addition, the Company
paid Atlas a one-time retainer of $10,000 upon execution of the Services Agreement. Additionally, the Company will issue to Mr. Wells
(or such other designee of Atlas) monthly grants of 10,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2025
Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, with each such grant fully vesting on the date of grant.
The
Services Agreement commences upon execution and continues until terminated. Either party may terminate the Services Agreement upon 30
days’ written notice, or upon 15 days’ written notice in the case of an uncured material breach. The Services Agreement contains
customary confidentiality provisions, which survive for a period of two years following the termination of the Services Agreement, and
mutual non-solicitation provisions that apply during the term of the Services Agreement and for a period of one year following termination.
Atlas provides services to the Company as a general contractor and neither Atlas nor Mr. Wells are employees of the Company.
There
is no family relationship between Mr. Wells and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. The Company is not aware
of any transaction involving Mr. Wells that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, other than as set forth in
this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The
Company intends to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Wells in the Company’s standard form, consistent with the form
filed as an exhibit to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The
foregoing description of the Services Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Services Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein by reference.
