The forward purchase agreement provides a backstop for trust redemptions, reducing the risk that the business combination fails due to excessive redemptions. Monitor the final redemption tally and the closing of the business combination — if redemptions remain high, the prepaid forward helps ensure sufficient cash remains in the combined company.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
HVII (Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VII) entered into a prepaid share forward agreement with New Circle Capital Solutions LP, under which New Circle will purchase up to 5,000,000 HVII Class A ordinary shares from third parties at a price up to the trust redemption price (~$10.60/share as of Sept 18, 2026). The SPAC will prepay the full amount from its trust account at the close of its pending business combination with ONE Nuclear Energy LLC. The forward matures 90 days post-combination, with New Circle waiving redemption rights and retaining the prepayment amount at maturity. This is a financing mechanism to provide committed capital and reduce trust redemptions ahead of the de-SPAC vote.
Key Facts
- New Circle Capital Solutions LP will purchase up to 5,000,000 HVII Class A ordinary shares from third parties at a price no higher than the trust redemption price.
- HVII will prepay the full amount from its trust account at the closing of the business combination with ONE Nuclear Energy LLC.
- The forward matures 90 days after the business combination closes; at maturity, New Circle retains the prepayment amount in exchange for returning the shares.
- New Circle waived all redemption rights on the purchased shares during the forward term.
- As of Sept 18, 2026, the redemption price was approximately $10.60 per share and shareholders had submitted redemption requests for 18,796,132 shares.
- The agreement provides HVII/New ONE Nuclear with a termination right if a resale S-1 for a committed equity line of credit becomes effective.
Financial Impact
Up to ~$53M prepaid from trust (5,000,000 shares × ~$10.60/share). The actual prepayment amount depends on the final number of shares purchased and the final redemption price at closing.
Risk Factors
- If the business combination does not close, the forward terminates and New Circle has no monetary obligation to HVII or ONE Nuclear.
- The final number of shares purchased and the prepayment amount depend on market conditions and the final redemption price, which are not yet determined.
- The forward creates potential dilution for existing shareholders if New Circle sells shares post-combination via optional early termination.
