 prior De-SPAC transactions completed by HVII’s management team. See the section of the proxy statement/prospectus entitled “ The Business Combination — HVII’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” for additional information.

Q. What interests do HVII’s officers and directors and other parties have in the Business Combination?

A. When considering the HVII Board’s recommendation that HVII Public Shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, HVII Public Shareholders should be aware that the Sponsor and HVII’s executive officers, and directors have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of HVII Public Shareholders. These interests include:

 beneficial ownership of the Sponsor and certain members of the HVII Board and officers of an aggregate of (a) 6,333,333 HVII Class B Ordinary Shares, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25,000 prior to the IPO, which 
 shares would likely be worthless if HVII is unable to effectuate an initial business combination by the end of the Completion Window                                                                                                                       
 and HVII is therefore required to liquidate, as HVII Class B Ordinary Shares are not entitled to participate in any redemption                                                                                                                             
 or liquidation of the Trust Account and (b) 500,000 HVII Private Placement Units, consisting of 500,000 HVII Class A Ordinary Shares                                                                                                                       
 and 500,000 HVII Rights, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5 million simultaneously with the                                                                                                                           
 consummation of the IPO, which underlying HVII Rights would become worthless if HVII does not complete an initial business combination                                                                                                                     
 within the Completion Window. Such HVII Class B Ordinary Shares and Private Placement Units have an aggregate market value of approximately
