 shareholder vote unless shareholder approval is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and
it chooses to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC for business or other reasons. So long as HVII maintains
a listing for its securities on Nasdaq, it is required to comply with such rules.

If
a shareholder vote is not required and HVII does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, it will, pursuant
to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association:

  conduct                                                                                          
  the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate    
  issuer tender offers; and

  file                                                                                             

Upon
the public announcement of its initial business combination, HVII and its sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with
Rule 10b5-1 to purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market if HVII elects to redeem its public shares through a tender offer,
to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.

In
the event HVII conducts redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, its offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business
days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and it will not be permitted to complete its initial business combination
until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public shareholders not tendering
more than the number of public shares HVII is permitted to redeem. If public shareholders tender more shares than HVII has offered to
purchase, it will withdraw the tender offer and not complete such initial business combination.

If,
however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or HVII decides
to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, it will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of
association:

  conduct                                                                                     
  file                                                                                        

HVII
expects that a final proxy statement would be mailed to public shareholders at least 20 days prior to the shareholder vote. However,
it expects that a draft proxy statement would be made available to such shareholders well in advance of such time, providing additional
notice of redemption if HVII conducts redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation. Although HVII is not required to do so,
