CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”), including, without limitation, statements under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). HVII’s forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding HVII or its management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future and any other statements that are not statements of current or historical facts. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “should,” “will,” or “would,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

HVII cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that its actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and developments in the industry in which it operates, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, and undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. In addition, even if HVII’s results or operations, financial condition and liquidity and developments in the industry in which it operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on HVII’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on HVII. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting HVII will be those that it has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond HVII’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors:

●HVII’s ability to select an appropriate target business or businesses;
●HVII’s ability to complete its initial business combination;
●HVII’s expectations around the performance of a prospective target business or businesses;
●HVII’s success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, its officers, key employees or directors following its initial business combination;
●HVII’s officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with HVII’s business or in approving its initial business combination;
●HVII’s potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete its initial business combination;
●HVII’s pool of prospective target businesses, including the location and industry of such target businesses;
●the ability of HVII’s officers and directors to generate a number of potential business combination opportunities;
●HVII’s public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;
●the lack of a market for HVII’s securities;
●the availability to HVII of funds from interest income on the trust account balance;
●the trust account not being subject to claims of third parties;
●HVII’s financial performance; or
●the other risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report and in HVII’s final prospectus filed in connection with its initial public offering.

The foregoing risks and uncertainties may not be exhaustive. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of HVII’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. HVII undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
