 Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically be canceled and each holder will receive one share of New ONE Nuclear Common Stock and one Domesticated HVII Right.

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will authorize a change of HVII’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while HVII is currently governed by the Companies Act, upon the Domestication, New ONE Nuclear will be governed by the DGCL. HVII encourages shareholders to carefully consult the information set out in the section entitled “ Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights.”

Reasons for the Domestication

The HVII Board believes that it would be in the best interests of HVII to effect the Domestication on the Closing Date. Further, the HVII Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. In addition, because New ONE Nuclear will operate within the United States following the Business Combination, it was the view of the HVII Board that New ONE Nuclear should be structured as a corporation organized in the United States.

The HVII Board believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of HVII and its shareholders. These additional reasons can be summarized as follows:

| ● | Prominence,                                                                                       
 Predictability and Flexibility of Delaware Law. For many years, Delaware has followed             
 a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has        
 been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate         
 laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws.         
 Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently 
 changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state             
 of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware         
 have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing   
 business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal          
 and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state        
 corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses   
 such as ours.                                                                                     |

 Principles of Corporate Governance. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware        
 courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation        
 and to the conduct of a company’s board
