Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
German term or phrase: HV
Es wäre schön wenn wir uns am kommenden Montag in der HV kurzfristig zu einem abschlieβendes Gespräch zusammenfinden könnten.

I am unsure whether 'HV' is a general German abbreviation or whether it is company-specific.

Explanation:
