 Private Placement Units, the proceeds of the sale of its securities in connection with its initial business combination (pursuant to any forward purchase, backstop or similar agreements HVII may enter), if any, its equity, debt or a combination of these as the consideration to be paid in its initial business combination. HVII may seek to complete its initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject HVII to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.

If HVII’s initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt securities or not all of the funds released from the Trust Account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with its initial business combination or used for redemption of HVII Public Shares, HVII may apply the balance of the cash released to it from the Trust Account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of post-transaction businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing its initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies, or for working capital.

HVII may seek to raise additional funds in connection with the completion of its initial business combination through a private offering of equity securities or debt securities or loans, and HVII may effectuate its initial business combination using the proceeds of such offerings or loans rather than using the amounts held in the Trust Account. In the case of an initial business combination funded with assets other than the Trust Account assets, HVII’s tender offer documents or proxy materials disclosing the business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by applicable law, HVII would seek HVII Public Shareholder approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on HVII’s ability to raise funds privately or through loans in connection with its initial business combination. At this time, HVII is not a party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising any additional funds through the sale of securities or otherwise.

Although HVII’s management will assess the risks inherent in a particular target business with which HVII may combine, HVII cannot assure investors that this assessment will result in identifying all risks that a target business may encounter. Furthermore, some of those risks may be outside of HVII’s control, meaning that HVII can do nothing to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business.

The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete HVII’s initial business combination, and the costs associated with this
