Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VII Unit (HVIIU-0.30%) has submitted its Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
The filing details that HVIIU is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 27, 2024, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
HVIIU completed its initial public offering on January 21, 2025, raising $190 million through the sale of 19,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-twelfth of a Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination.
The company has placed $190 million in a trust account, which will be used to complete its initial business combination. HVIIU intends to focus on industries that complement its management team's background, particularly in the industrial technology and energy transition sectors.
HVIIU's management team is led by Daniel J. Hennessy, who has extensive experience in SPACs and private equity. The team has been involved in multiple SPACs and business combinations across various industries.
The filing outlines potential risks, including the possibility that HVIIU may not be able to complete its initial business combination within the allotted time frame, which could lead to the liquidation of the trust account and the expiration of share rights.
HVIIU's sponsor, HC VII Sponsor LLC, has agreed to indemnify the trust account in certain circumstances, but there is no assurance that the sponsor will have sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations.
The company is subject to various regulatory requirements and risks, including potential classification as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, which could impose additional compliance burdens.
The filing also notes that HVIIU is an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, which allows it to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.
HVIIU has not identified any specific target for its initial business combination but intends to pursue opportunities with an expected aggregate enterprise value of $500 million or greater.
