ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As of the date of this Quarterly
Report, except as detailed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in HVII’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or
material adverse effect on HVII’s results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to HVII
or that HVII currently deems immaterial may also impair HVII’s business or results of operations. HVII may disclose changes to such
risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in its future filings with the SEC.

Changes in international
trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on HVII’s search for a business
combination target or the performance or business prospects of a post-business combination company.

There have recently been significant
changes to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials
or other changes in trade policy could negatively affect HVII’s search for a target business and/or HVII’s ability to complete
its business combination.

Recently, the U.S. has implemented
a range of new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs. In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., other countries have imposed,
are considering imposing, and may in the future impose new or increased tariffs on certain exports from the U.S. There is currently significant
uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations
and tariffs. HVII cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue or trade policies will change in the future.

Tariffs, or the threat of tariffs
or increased tariffs, could have a significant negative impact on certain businesses (either due to domestic businesses reliance on imported
goods or dependence on access to foreign markets, or foreign businesses’ reliance on sales into the U.S.). In addition, retaliatory
tariffs could have a significant negative impact on foreign businesses that rely on imports from the U.S., and domestic businesses that
rely on exporting goods internationally. These tariffs and threats of tariffs and
