 voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of New ONE Nuclear entitled to vote at an election of directors. We believe that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the HVII Board was cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold a substantial beneficial ownership of our common stock following the Transaction. The HVII Board further believes that going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages the person seeking control of the post-combination corporation to negotiate with the board of directors to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

(D) Proposal No. 5D — Exclusive Forum Provision

Furthermore, to prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, the New ONE Nuclear Bylaws further provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision is intended to benefit and may be enforced by New ONE Nuclear, its officers and directors, the underwriters to any offering giving rise to such complaint, and any other professional entity whose profession gives authority to a statement made by that person or entity and who
