 person but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to “critical technologies,” certain “critical infrastructure” and/or “sensitive personal data.” If a potential business combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, the parties may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the business combination.

The Sponsor is a Nevada limited liability company controlled by Hennessy Capital Group LLC, and Daniel J. Hennessy and Thomas D. Hennessy, the Sponsor’s managing members, are citizens of the United States of America. As a result, the Sponsor is a U.S. person under CFIUS regulations. Other entities or individuals associated with or otherwise involved in the Business Combination are controlled by, or have substantial ties with, a U.S. person. Specifically, ONE Nuclear is a Delaware limited liability company and a majority of the ONE Nuclear Units are beneficially owned by citizens of the United States. As a result, ONE Nuclear is a U.S. person under CFIUS regulations. Therefore, ONE Nuclear and HVII do not anticipate the Business Combination will be subject to review by CFIUS.

If CFIUS does determine to intervene in the Business Combination, parties to the Transaction may be required to make a mandatory filing or they may choose to submit a notification to CFIUS. CFIUS ultimately has the power to block or delay the Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to the Business Combination or order the divestment of all or a portion of a U.S. business (if any) of ONE Nuclear, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent ONE Nuclear from pursuing certain opportunities in the United States that ONE Nuclear believes would otherwise be beneficial to it and its shareholders.

The process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because HVII must complete its initial business combination before the Business Combination Deadline, its failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require it to liquidate. If HVII winds up and liquidates, HVII Public Shareholders may only receive the redemption value per share, and HVII Rights will expire worthless. This will also cause investors to lose any potential investment opportunity in ONE Nuclear.

HVII Shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against HVII to the extent of distributions received
