or “ HVII”), Solis Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser
(“ Merger Sub”), and ONE Nuclear Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Company”), entered into
a business combination agreement (the “ Business Combination Agreement”) that contemplates a $1.0 billion equity valuation
of the Company and an all-stock combination transaction. The Company is an independent developer of large-scale energy solutions powered
by natural gas and advanced nuclear small modular reactor (SMR) technologies.

Pursuant

on which the Closing occurs, the “ Closing Date”), the Company will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser,
and Purchaser will be a publicly traded company operating under the name “ ONE Nuclear.” Following the Closing, the Purchaser’s
shares of Common Stock (defined below) are expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ ONEN.”
