 of HVII’s initial
business combination, only holders of HVII’s Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the appointment or removal
of directors.

After
HVII’s initial business combination, it is possible that a majority of HVII’s directors and officers will live outside the
United States and all of HVII’s assets will be located outside the United States; therefore investors may not be able to enforce
federal securities laws or their other legal rights.

It
is possible that after HVII’s initial business combination, a majority of HVII’s directors and officers will reside outside
of the United States and all of HVII’s assets will be located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult, or
in some cases not possible, for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon all of
HVII’s directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties
on HVII’s directors and officers under United States laws.

In
particular, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or any other applicable jurisdictions would recognize
and enforce judgments of U. S. courts obtained against HVII or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions
of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands
or any other applicable jurisdiction’s courts against HVII or its directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of
the United States or any state in the United States.

For
a more detailed discussion, see Exhibit 4.2 of this Report captioned “ Description of Securities.”

HVII
may seek business combination opportunities in industries or sectors which may or may not be outside of its management’s area of
expertise.

HVII
may consider an initial business combination outside of its management’s area of expertise if an initial business combination candidate
is presented to HVII and it determines that such candidate offers an attractive business combination opportunity for HVII or HVII is
unable to identify a suitable candidate in other sectors after having expanded a reasonable amount of time and effort in an attempt to
do so. Although HVII’s management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular business combination candidate,
it cannot assure investors that it will adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. HVII also cannot assure investors
that an investment in HVII’s units will not ultimately prove
