These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New ONE Nuclear or its directors, officers, or other employees and may discourage these types of lawsuits. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation or bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. New ONE Nuclear notes that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(E) Proposal No. 5E — Shareholder Action by Written Consent

Unless otherwise provided in the articles of association, a Cayman Islands company may take any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders without a meeting by unanimous written resolutions of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares.

These provisions might delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of New ONE Nuclear capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

In connection with the Domestication, all HVII Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically be converted into HVII Class A Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the terms of the HVII Charter. Upon the conversion of the HVII Class B Ordinary Shares to HVII Class A Ordinary Shares, the HVII Board has determined that there will no longer be a need to continue with two series of ordinary shares (or their common stock equivalents) and, therefore
