If a HVII Public Shareholder vote is not required and HVII does not decide to hold a HVII Public Shareholder vote for business or other reasons, it will, pursuant to the HVII Charter:

| ● | conduct                                                                                       
 the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate 
 issuer tender offers; and                                                                     |

| ● | file                                                                                            
 tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing its initial business combination        
 which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business 
 combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange       
 Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.                                               |

Upon the public announcement of its initial business combination, HVII and the Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase HVII Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market if HVII elects to redeem its Public Shares through a tender offer, to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.

In the event HVII conducts redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, its offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and it will not be permitted to complete its initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on HVII Public Shareholders not tendering more than the number of HVII Public Shares HVII is permitted to redeem. If HVII Public Shareholders tender more shares than HVII has offered to purchase, it will withdraw the tender offer and not complete such initial business combination.

If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or HVII decides to obtain HVII Public Shareholder approval for business or other reasons, it will, pursuant to the HVII Charter:

| ● | conduct                                                                                    
 the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the 
 Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender  
 offer rules; and                                                                           |

| ● | file                          
 proxy materials with the SEC. |
