Q. How does the Sponsor intend to vote on the Proposals?

A. The Sponsor and HVII’s officers and directors have agreed to vote any HVII Class A Ordinary Shares and HVII Class B Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination and the Proposals. Currently, the Sponsor and HVII’s officers and directors own approximately 26.26% of the issued and outstanding HVII Ordinary Shares, including all of the HVII Class B Ordinary Shares.

The Sponsor and HVII’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates may purchase HVII Units, HVII Class A Ordinary Shares or HVII Rights or a combination thereof in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. If the Sponsor or its affiliates engage in such transactions prior to the completion of the Business Combination, the purchase will be at a price no higher than the price offered through the redemption process. Any such securities purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or any other third party that would vote at the direction of the Sponsor or its affiliates, will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination. However, they have no current commitments, plans, or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase HVII Units, HVII Class A Ordinary Shares or HVII Rights in such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of HVII Ordinary Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption Rights.

In the event that Sponsor and HVII’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their affiliates purchase HVII Class A Ordinary Shares in privately negotiated transactions from HVII Public Shareholders who have already elected to
