HVII is aware of litigation against certain SPACs asserting that, notwithstanding the foregoing, those SPACs should be considered investment companies. Although HVII believes that these claims are without merit, it cannot guarantee that HVII will not be considered an investment company and thus be subject to the Investment Company Act.

Changes in laws or regulations, or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, may adversely affect HVII’s business, including its ability to negotiate and complete its initial business combination and results of operations.

These rules may materially adversely affect HVII’s ability to engage
