HVII expects that a final proxy statement would be mailed to HVII Public Shareholders at least 20 days prior to the HVII Public Shareholder vote. However, it expects that a draft proxy statement would be made available to such HVII Public Shareholders well in advance of such time, providing additional notice of redemption if HVII conducts redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation. Although HVII is not required to do so, it currently intends to comply with the substantive and procedural requirements of Regulation 14A in connection with any HVII Public Shareholder vote even if it is not able to maintain its Nasdaq listing or Exchange Act registration.

In the event that HVII seeks HVII Public Shareholder approval of its initial business combination, it will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide its public shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.

If HVII seeks HVII Public Shareholder approval, unless otherwise required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rules, it will complete its initial business combination only if it receives approval pursuant to an ordinary resolution under the HVII Charter and under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the HVII Shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of HVII, voting together as a single class. In such case, the Sponsor and each member of its management team have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and HVII Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of its initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction). For purposes of seeking approval of an ordinary resolution, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of HVII’s initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. As a result, in addition to the Initial Shareholders’ Founder Shares and HVII Class A Ordinary Shares, HVII would need (i) 6,178,334, or 32.52%, of the 19,000,000 HVII Public Shares sold in the IPO to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Director Election Proposal and (ii) 10,515,556, or 55.3%, of the 19,000,000 HVII Public Shares sold in the IPO to
