 the Trust Account only upon a completion of an initial business combination. These financial incentives may cause them to have potential conflicts of interest in rendering any such additional services to HVII, including, for example, in connection with the sourcing and consummation of an initial business combination.

HVII may engage one or more of its IPO underwriters or one of their respective affiliates to provide additional services to HVII, including, for example, identifying potential targets, providing M&A advisory services, acting as a placement agent in a private offering, or arranging debt financing transactions. For example, CCM is serving as non-exclusive financial advisor, capital markets advisor and placement agent to HVII in connection with the Business Combination and related PIPE Investment. HVII may pay such IPO underwriter or its affiliate fair and reasonable fees or other compensation that would be determined at that time in an arm’s length negotiation. No agreement was entered into with any of the IPO underwriters or their respective affiliates and no fees or other compensation for such services was paid to any of the IPO underwriters or their respective affiliates prior to the date that was 60 days from the date of the IPO.

The IPO underwriters are also entitled to receive Deferred Underwriting Commissions that are conditioned on the completion of an initial business combination. The IPO underwriters’ or their respective affiliates’ financial interests tied to the consummation of a business combination transaction may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in providing any such additional services to HVII, including potential conflicts of interest in connection with the sourcing and consummation of an initial business combination. The IPO underwriters are under no obligation to provide any further services to HVII in order to receive all or any part of the Deferred Underwriting Commissions.

If HVII is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for HVII to complete its initial business combination.

| ● | restrictions

 on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for HVII to complete its 
 initial business combination                                                                |

 as an investment company; |
