Our Business



We are a diversified holding company with principal operations conducted through
seven operating platforms or reportable segments: Construction ("DBMG"), Energy
("ANG"), Telecommunications ("ICS"), Insurance ("CIG"), Life Sciences
("Pansend"), Broadcasting, and Other, which includes businesses that do not meet
the separately reportable segment thresholds.

Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentations, including:



•The reclassification of GMSL's results to discontinued operations. Further, the
reclassification of prior period assets and liabilities have been classified as
held for sale;

•As a result of the sale of GMSL, and in accordance with ASC 280, the Company no
longer considers the results of operations and Balance Sheets of GMH and its
subsidiaries as a separate segment. Formerly the Marine Services segment, these
entities and the investment in HMN have been reclassified to the Other segment.

•The restatement of Earnings per share in the prior period, as a result of the
discontinued operations noted above. This includes presenting EPS for Net (loss)
income from continuing operations, Net (loss) income from discontinuing
operations, and Net (loss) income.

We continually evaluate acquisition opportunities, as well as monitor a variety
of key indicators of our underlying platform companies in order to maximize
stakeholder value. These indicators include, but are not limited to, revenue,
cost of revenue, operating profit, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow.
Furthermore, we work very closely with our subsidiary platform executive
management teams on their operations and assist them in the evaluation and
diligence of asset acquisitions, dispositions and any financing or operational
needs at the subsidiary level. We believe that this close relationship allows us
to capture synergies within the organization across all platforms and
strategically position the Company for ongoing growth and value creation.

The potential for additional acquisitions and new business opportunities, while
strategic, may result in acquiring assets unrelated to our current or historical
operations. As part of any acquisition strategy, we may raise capital in the
form of debt and/or equity securities (including preferred stock) or a
combination thereof. We have broad discretion and experience in identifying and
selecting acquisition and business combination opportunities and the industries
in which we seek such opportunities. Many times, we face significant competition
for these opportunities, including from numerous companies with a business plan
similar to ours. As such, there can be no assurance that any of the past or
future discussions we have had or may have with candidates will result in a
definitive agreement and, if they do, what the terms or timing of any potential
agreement would be. As part of our acquisition strategy, we may utilize a
portion of our available cash to acquire interests in possible acquisition
targets. Any securities acquired are marked to market and may increase
short-term earnings volatility as a result.

Our Operations

Refer to Note 1. Organization and Business to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Seasonality and Cyclical Patterns



Our segments' operations can be highly cyclical and subject to seasonal
patterns. Our volume of business in our Construction segment may be adversely
affected by declines or delays in projects, which may vary by geographic region.
Project schedules, particularly in connection with large, complex, and
longer-term projects can also create fluctuations in the services provided,
which may adversely affect us in a given period.

                                       43
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, in connection with larger, more complicated projects, the timing of
obtaining permits and other approvals may be delayed, and we may need to
maintain a portion of our workforce and equipment in an underutilized capacity
to ensure we are strategically positioned to deliver on such projects when they
move forward.

Examples of other items that may cause our results or demand for our services to
fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter include: weather or project site
conditions, financial condition of our customers and their access to capital;
margins of projects performed during any particular period; economic, and
political and market conditions on a regional, national or global scale.

Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Impact on our Business



On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the
novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic resulting in action from federal,
state and local governments that has significantly affected virtually all facets
of the U.S. and global economies. The U.S. federal and various state
governments, have implemented enhanced screenings, quarantine requirements, and
travel restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Company's top priority is to protect its employees and their families, and
those of the Company's customers. The Company is taking precautionary measures
as directed by health authorities and the local government, including changing
operational procedures as necessary, providing additional protective gear and
cleaning to protect them, which has resulted and may continue to result in in
disruptions to and increased costs of the Company's operations. We may take
further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we
determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners,
vendors, and suppliers. Work-from-home and other measures introduce additional
operational risks, including cybersecurity risks, and have affected the way we
conduct our operations. There is no certainty that such measures will be
sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, and illness and workforce
disruptions could lead to unavailability of key personnel and harm our ability
to perform critical functions.

The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial
performance will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to,
the duration and spread of the outbreak and related travel advisories and
restrictions, and its impact to the U.S. and global financial markets, all of
which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Preventing the effects from
and responding to this market disruption if any other public health threat,
related or otherwise, may further increase costs of our business and may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from
authorities, including federal, state and local public health departments, and
may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these
circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to
adjust our plans. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot
reasonably estimate the impact of COVID-19 on our results of operations,
financial condition, or cash flows in the future. However, we do expect that it
could have a material adverse impact on our future revenue growth as well as our
overall profitability and may lead to revised payment terms with certain of our
customers.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the effects of COVID-19 and
the related actions undertaken in the U.S. to attempt to control its spread,
specifically impact certain of our segments as follows:

Construction



DBMG is dependent on its workforce to carry out its services. Developments
resulting from governmental responses to COVID-19 such as social distancing and
shelter-in-place directives have impacted, and will continue to impact, DBMG's
ability to deploy its workforce in its facilities and project sites efficiently.
The nature of DBMG's business does not permit alternative workforce arrangements
in its facilities and project sites such as remote work schemes to be
implemented effectively, and as a result of potential workforce disruptions,
DBMG may experience delays or suspensions of projects. DBMG has incurred
significant costs related to inefficiency and additional procedures to maintain
COVID-19 related safety measures. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2020, $8.4 million and $8.8 million were incurred. DBMG may also experience
disruptions in the supply chain depending on the spread of COVID-19 and related
governmental orders. These delays, suspensions, and impacts to supply chain, may
negatively impact DBMG's results of operations, cash flows or financial
condition. This could cause the timing of revenue to be delayed and possibly
impact earnings and backlog. Persistent delays, suspensions or cancellations of
projects under contract may occur while governments implement policies designed
to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such continued loss or suspension of
projects under contract may negatively impact the DBMG's results of operations,
cash flows or financial condition.

                                       44
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Insurance



Our Insurance segment has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including
multiple reductions in target interest rates by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, and significant market volatility, driving actual and
projected results of our business operations as well as our views on potential
effectiveness of certain prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The
Company's June 30, 2020 results reflected in earnings are primarily impacted by
the Insurance segment's net unrealized losses on investments of $17.9 million,
included in the Net realized and unrealized gains (loss) on investments line,
primarily driven by preferred stock mark to market adjustments. The impact on
other comprehensive income was $9.2 million of unrealized gain on fixed maturity
securities, a significant improvement as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2020 results, which reflected $355.5 million of unrealized loss on
fixed maturity securities. Both of these were largely attributable to market
factors caused by the COVID-19 crisis for each of the three month periods ended
March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Additional future recovery of
losses will largely depend upon market reaction to additional COVID-19 stimulus
packages, interest rates and timing and manner in which the economy is reopened.
The unrealized losses are considered temporary in nature, as we have the ability
to hold these securities to maturity.

Broadcasting

As a result of COVID-19, our Broadcasting segment has experienced adverse effects on its advertising business because of weakness in the advertising market as advertisers seek to reduce their own costs in response to the pandemic's impact on their businesses. We are not able to predict when or whether advertising budgets and the advertising market generally, will return or be comparable to historical levels.

In addition, COVID-19 could impact our Broadcasting segment's business, financial condition and results of operations in a number of other ways, including, but not limited to:



•negative impact on our broadcast station revenue, as many of our customers also
rely on advertising revenues and might be negatively affected by COVID-19;
•slow-down of our ability to build out additional broadcast television stations,
as illness, social distancing, and other pandemic-related precautions may result
in equipment delivery delays and labor shortages, including the availability of
tower crews, an already limited, highly-specialized work force necessary to
install broadcast equipment;
•negative impact on our network distribution revenues, as consumers may seek to
reduce discretionary spending by cutting back or foregoing subscriptions to
cable television or other multichannel video programming distributors;
•negative impact on our financial condition or our ability to fund operations or
future investment opportunities due to an increase in the cost or difficulty in
obtaining debt or equity financing, or refinancing our debt in the future, or
our ability to comply with our covenants;
•impairments of our programming inventory, goodwill and other indefinite-lived
intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; and
•increased cyber and payment fraud risk, as cybercriminals attempt to profit
from the disruption, given increased online activity.

The magnitude of the impact on our Broadcasting segment will depend on numerous
evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the
duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and
foreign governmental actions, consumer behavior in response to the pandemic and
such governmental actions, and the economic and operating conditions that we may
face in the aftermath of COVID-19. Even after COVID-19 has subsided, we may
experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global
economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the
future.

For further discussion regarding the potential future impacts of COVID-19 and
related economic conditions on the Company's liquidity and capital resources,

Debt Obligations



In March 2020, with the proceeds received from the sale of GMSL, the Company
repaid $15.0 million of its 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement and $76.9 million of
its Senior Secured Notes.

In April 2020 and May 2020, HC2 drew $10.0 million and $5.0 million on its 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement, respectively.

In June 2020, with the cash proceeds from the sale of New Saxon's 30% interest in HMN, HC2 redeemed an additional $50.6 million of its Senior Secured Notes.

Dividends

HC2 received $0.5 million in dividends from our Telecommunications segment during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

HC2 received $1.1 million and $2.9 million in net management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.



HC2 received $13.5 million in dividends from its Construction segment during
three and six months ended June 30, 2020. On August 6, 2020 the Construction
segment paid a cash dividend of $5.0 million, or $1.30 per share. HC2 received
approximately $4.5 million of the total dividend payout.

Separation from Philip A. Falcone



The Company has engaged in ongoing negotiations with Mr. Falcone, the former CEO
and Chairman of the Company, regarding his separation. Mr. Falcone rejected the
Company's most recent severance offer. In addition, Mr. Falcone made two books
and records demands of the Company in his capacity as a director, which the
Company, among other reasons, has denied in light of the fact that Mr. Falcone
is no longer a director of the Company.

Other



On April 16, 2020, R2 received $10 million in funding from Huadong Medicine
Company Limited as part of Huadong's $30 million Series B equity investment in
R2. These funds will be used to commercialize R2's revolutionary CryoAesthetic
technology which promises physicians a new way to lighten, brighten and
rejuvenate skin. This investment represents the second tranche of Huadong's
investment at an approximate post-money valuation of $90 million and reduces
Pansend's ownership by 7.8% to 56.1%.

(1) The Insurance segment results are inclusive of realized and unrealized gains
and net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and
2019, inclusive of transactions between entities under common control, which are
eliminated or are reclassified in consolidation.

Net revenue: Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$102.2 million to $377.0 million from $479.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2019. The decrease in revenue was driven by our Telecommunications
segment, which can be attributed to changes in customer mix and fluctuations in
wholesale traffic volumes, and our Construction segment primarily driven by
lower revenues from our structural steel fabrication and erection business.
These were partially offset by increases at our Energy segment due to the
Alternative Fuels Tax Credit ("AFTC") revenue related to CNG sales recognized in
the current period and the acquisition of the ampCNG stations.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $106.4 million to
$821.8 million from $928.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The
decrease in revenue was driven by our Telecommunications segment, which can be
attributed to changes in customer mix and fluctuations in wholesale traffic
volumes, and our Construction segment primarily driven by lower revenues from
our structural steel fabrication and erection business. The decrease is also due
to our Insurance segment, net of eliminations, largely driven by unrealized
losses resulting from unfavorable market movements in values for preferred stock
holdings. These were partially offset by increases at our Energy segment due to
AFTC revenue related to CNG sales recognized in the current period and the
acquisition of the ampCNG stations.

Income (loss) from operations: Income from operations for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 decreased $28.7 million to $4.9 million from $33.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in operations was primarily
driven by our Insurance segment due to an increase in policy benefits, changes
in reserves, and commissions due to non-recurring favorable claims activity
recognized in the comparable period along with unfavorable claims activity and
reserves development in the current quarter, and our Construction segment
primarily due to lower revenues from our structural steel fabrication and
erection business and COVID-19 related costs.

Income (loss) from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$81.1 million to a loss of $21.9 million from income of $59.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by our
Insurance segment due to an increase in policy benefits, changes in reserves,
and commissions due to non-recurring favorable claims activity recognized in the
comparable period along with unfavorable claims activity and reserves
development in the first half of 2020. In addition there was a decline in
revenues, due to unrealized losses from unfavorable market movements in
preferred stock holdings. The decrease is also attributable to our Construction
segment due to lower revenues from our structural steel fabrication and erection
business.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020
increased $2.3 million to $21.4 million from $19.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020
increased $4.8 million to $42.7 million from $37.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2019. The increases were attributable to an increase in the
aggregate principal amount of debt at our Broadcasting and Energy segments.

Loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt: Loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $3.4 million. This was driven by the 4.5% redemption premium on the $50.6 million redemption of the Senior Secured Notes and the write-off of deferred financing costs and original issuance discount.



Loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt for the six months ended
June 30, 2020 was $9.2 million. This was driven by the write-off of deferred
financing costs and original issuance discount related to the $15.0 million pay
down of the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement and the $76.9 million redemption of
the Senior Secured Notes at a 4.5% premium in the first quarter of 2020 and the
$50.6 million redemption of the Senior Secured Notes at a 4.5% premium in the
second quarter of 2020.

(Loss) income from equity investees: (Loss) income from equity investees for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $7.4 million to a loss of $0.2
million from income of $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The decrease was driven by lower profit for the HMN investment, generally
attributable to the timing of turnkey project work.

(Loss) income from equity investees for the six months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $4.0 million to a loss of $2.7 million from income of $1.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was driven by an increase in
losses for the HMN investment, which is generally attributable to the timing of
turnkey project work.

Other income (loss): Other income (loss) for the three months ended June 30,
2020 increased $68.8 million to a gain of $64.0 million from a loss of $4.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Other income (loss) for the
six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $68.2 million to a gain of $66.8
million from a loss of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The
increases were primarily driven by the gain recognized on the First HMN Sale
partially offset by the loss recognized on the Convertible Note embedded
conversion feature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Income tax expense: Income tax expense was an expense of $15.4 million and $1.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The
income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily
relates to tax expense incurred in China from the partial sale of HMN and
projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for tax paying entities, primarily
the Insurance segment, which is no longer in a valuation allowance.
Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the HC2
Holdings, Inc. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses
have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is
more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration. The
income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2019 relates to
the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities offset
by a benefit from the release of the valuation allowance of the Insurance
segment due to an increase in current year income.

Income tax expense was an expense of $2.8 million and $5.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The income tax expense
recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily relates to tax expense
incurred in China from the partial sale of HMN and projected expense as
calculated under ASC 740 for tax paying entities, primarily the Insurance
segment, which is no longer in a valuation allowance, mostly offset by a tax
benefit from the carryback of net operating losses at the Insurance segment as a
result of the enactment of the CARES Act. Additionally, the tax benefits
associated with losses generated by the HC2 Holdings, Inc. U.S. consolidated
income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full
valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the
losses will be utilized prior to expiration. The income tax expense recorded for
the six months ended June 30, 2019 relates to the projected expense as
calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities offset by a benefit from the
release of the valuation allowance of the Insurance segment due to an increase
in current year income.

Loss from discontinued operations (including loss on disposal of $39.3 million):
Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $7.7 million to zero from $7.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 2019. Loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30,
2020 increased $45.7 million to $60.0 million from $14.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in loss was largely driven by the $39.3
million loss on the sale of GMSL in the first quarter of 2020. Also contributing
to the increase in loss was a $9.0 million increase in net loss from the
discontinued entity, GMSL. The company did not recognize a tax benefit in
discontinued operations from the loss on sale of GMSL and its subsidiaries due
to the application of the UK Substantial Shareholder Exception, which exempt
capital gains and losses from taxation.

Preferred dividends, deemed dividends, and repurchase gains: Preferred
dividends, and deemed dividends, and repurchase gains for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 remained unchanged from the three months ended June 30, 2019 at
loss of $0.4 million. Preferred dividends, and deemed dividends, and repurchase
gains for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.6 million to a loss of
$0.8 million compared to a gain of $0.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 2019. The decrease was largely driven by the Insurance segment's 2019
purchase of 10,000 shares of the Company's Series A-2 Preferred Stock at a
$1.7 million discount.

Construction segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $39.0
million to $348.8 million from $387.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2019. The decreases were primarily driven by lower revenues from our structural
steel fabrication and erection business, which had increased activity in the
comparable period on certain large commercial construction projects that are now
at or near completion and lower revenues from our construction modeling and
detailing business.

Construction segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $20.3
million to $297.8 million from $318.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2019. The decreases were primarily driven by the timing of project work under
execution and change in backlog mix, including a reduction in large commercial
construction projects in the current period. The decrease was partially offset
by higher costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative from
our Construction segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.6
million to $18.6 million from $20.2 million for the three months ended June 30,

six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.5 million to $38.5 million from
$40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases were
primarily driven by lower travel expenses, acquisition costs, and bonus expense
in the current period, partially offset by higher costs incurred due to COVID-19
pandemic.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization from our
Construction segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.3
million to $2.7 million from $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30,

months ended June 30, 2020 increased $10.1 million to $20.7 million from $10.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases were primarily
driven by higher volume-related revenues attributable to the inclusion of the
acquired ampCNG stations, which was acquired in June 2019. Additionally, the
increases were driven by AFTC revenue related to CNG sales recognized in the
current period. The AFTC had not yet been renewed for 2019 in the comparable
period.

for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $3.2 million to $9.7 million
from $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases were due
to the overall growth in volume of gasoline gallons delivered and higher
commodity and utility costs driven by the acquisition of ampCNG stations.

Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative
expenses from our Energy segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020
increased $0.4 million to $1.4 million from $1.0 million for the three months

Energy segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.1 million to
$3.0 million from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The
increases were driven by the overall growth of the Energy segment as it
continues to increase its national footprint.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization from our Energy
segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $0.5 million to $2.0
million from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Depreciation
and amortization from our Energy segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020
increased $1.2 million to $4.1 million from $2.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2019. The increases were due to additional depreciation and
amortization from the acquisition of ampCNG stations completed in June 2019.

our Telecommunications segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$49.1 million to $289.6 million from $338.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2019. The decreases were directly correlated to the fluctuations in
wholesale voice termination volumes, in addition to a slight reduction in margin
mix attributed to market pressures on call termination rates.

Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative
expenses from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended June 30,
2020 decreased $0.4 million to $1.7 million from $2.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2019. Selling, general and administrative expenses from
our Telecommunications segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$1.0 million to $3.6 million from $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2019. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in compensation expense due
to a lower headcount.

Other operating expense: Other operating expense expenses from our
Telecommunications segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $0.5 million to zero from $0.5 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2019. The decreases were driven by impairment of goodwill in the
comparable period as a result of declining performance at the segment.

Life, accident and health earned premiums, net: Life, accident and health earned
premiums, net from our Insurance segment for the three months ended June 30,
2020 decreased $0.4 million to $29.7 million from $30.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is due to run-off of the closed blocks
of business, partially offset by an increase in KIC LTC premiums from rate
increases, outpacing terminations on this block.

Life, accident and health earned premiums, net from our Insurance segment for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.7 million to $58.2 million from
$59.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily
related to run-off of the closed blocks of business.

Net investment income: Net investment income from our Insurance segment for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.3 million to $51.2 million from
$52.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was due to
decreased holdings in preferred stocks and short term investments, largely
offset from an increase in bonds due to increased holdings.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments: Net realized and
unrealized gains (losses) on investments from our Insurance segment for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $24.9 million to a loss of $19.4 million
from a gain of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease
was driven by unfavorable market movements in common and preferred stocks driven
by interest rate reductions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Policy benefits, changes in reserves, and commissions: Policy benefits, changes
in reserves, and commissions from our Insurance segment for the three months
ended June 30, 2020 increased $15.0 million to $63.0 million from $48.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Policy benefits, changes in reserves,
and commissions from our Insurance segment for the six months ended June 30,
2020 increased $34.7 million to $135.4 million from $100.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2019. The increases were due to non-recurring favorable
claims activity recognized in the comparable period primarily driven by an
increase in contingent non-forfeiture option activity as a result of in-force
rate actions approved and implemented and unfavorable claims activity and
reserves development in the first half of 2020.

Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative
expenses from our Insurance segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $0.4 million to $8.8 million from $9.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2019. Selling, general and administrative expenses from our
Insurance segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.3 million
to $18.7 million from $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The
increases were driven by increases in miscellaneous software expenses, legal
expenses, additional premium taxes, and third party management fees.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization from our Insurance
segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $0.5 million to $5.5
million from $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Depreciation
and amortization from our Insurance segment for the six months ended June 30,
2020 decreased $1.1 million to $11.4 million from $12.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases were driven by a reduction in negative
VOBA amortization largely due to lower policy terminations for the LTC policies
acquired in 2018.

Sciences segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $3.1 million
to $6.6 million from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The
increases were driven by higher expenses at R2 Technologies, which increased

segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $0.2 million to $19.6
million from $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases
were primarily driven by a decrease in advertising revenues at the Azteca
network driven by the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset
by higher station revenues as our Broadcasting segment grew the number of
operating stations and launched new customers across its broadcast platform.

Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue from our Broadcasting segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $0.7 million to $11.1 million from $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by cost reductions at Network, partially offset by increased cost of revenues associated with the higher number of operating stations.



Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative
expenses from our Broadcasting segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $0.7 million to $11.3 million from $12.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower stock-based
compensation, legal and other overhead expenses.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization from our
Broadcasting segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $0.2
million to $1.7 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30,

months ended June 30, 2020 increased $0.5 million to $3.4 million from $2.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases were driven by
additional amortization of fixed assets at new stations which were acquired
subsequent to the comparable period.

the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.1 million to $2.1 million from

from our Broadcasting segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased

from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020
increased $3.4 million to $17.1 million from $13.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2019. The increases were driven by legal costs incurred
associated with the consent revocation, acquisition costs, and the annual
stockholder meeting related to the current board solicitation matter with
certain stockholders of the Company. This was partially offset by a decrease in
bonus, stock compensation expense and overhead costs in the current period.

Life Sciences: Loss from equity investees within our Life Sciences segment for
the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $0.9 million to $1.1 million from
$0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Loss from equity
investees within our Life Sciences segment for the six months ended June 30,
2020 increased $0.8 million to $2.1 million from $1.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2019. The increases in losses were largely due to higher equity
method losses recorded from our investment in MediBeacon due to the timing of
clinical trials.

Other: Income (loss) from equity investees within our Other segment for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $6.5 million to income of $0.9
million from income of $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Income (loss) from equity investees within our Other segment for the six months
ended June 30, 2020 decreased $3.2 million to a loss of $0.6 million from income
$2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was driven by
the equity investment in HMN, as the joint venture produced lower profits than
in the prior periods, which is generally attributable to timing of turnkey
project work, and a reduction in ownership as a result of the partial sale in
the second quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

Adjusted EBITDA



Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement recognized under U.S. GAAP. In addition,
other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which could
limit its usefulness.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful
information for gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used
by the financial community to provide insight into an organization's operating
trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition
of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of
differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a
useful measure of a company's ability to service debt. While management believes
that non-U.S. GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such
adjusted results are not intended to replace our U.S. GAAP financial results.
Using Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure has inherent limitations as an
analytical tool as compared to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial
measures, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain items, including items that
are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of
the exclusions, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation and does
not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP
financial measures as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA
excludes the results of operations and any consolidating eliminations of our
Insurance segment.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income
(loss) as adjusted for depreciation and amortization; Other operating (income)
expense, which is inclusive of (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets, lease
termination costs, and FCC reimbursements; asset impairment expense; interest
expense; net gain (loss) on contingent consideration; loss on early
extinguishment or restructuring of debt; gain (loss) on sale of subsidiaries;
other (income) expense, net; foreign currency transaction (gain) loss included
in cost of revenue; income tax (benefit) expense; noncontrolling interest; bonus
to be settled in equity; share-based compensation expense; discontinued
operations; non-recurring items; costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,
and acquisition and disposition costs.

To help our board, management and investors assess the impact of COVID-19
pandemic on our results of operations, we are excluding the impacts of COVID-19
response initiatives for the cost of personal protective equipment distributed
to employees, cleaning and sanitization equipment and procedures, and additional
overhead costs to maintain proper social distancing from Adjusted EBITDA. Our
board and management find the exclusion of the impact of these COVID-19 response
initiatives from Adjusted EBITDA to be useful because it allows us and our
investors to assess the impact of these response initiatives on our results of
operations.

Construction: Net income (loss) from our Construction segment for the three
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $7.3 million to income of $1.6 million
from income of $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted
EBITDA from our Construction segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $4.0 million to $19.1 million from $23.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA can be attributed to the
timing of project work under execution and change in backlog mix, including a
reduction in large commercial construction projects in the current period.

Energy: Net income (loss) from our Energy segment for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 increased by $1.1 million to income of $0.4 million from a loss of
$0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA from our
Energy segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $2.9 million
to $4.2 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The
increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher volume-related
revenues from the acquisition of ampCNG stations in June 2019 and the AFTC
recognized in the current period which had not yet been renewed in the
comparable period. Partially offsetting these increases were higher selling,
general and administrative expenses as a result of the acquisition of the ampCNG
stations.

Telecommunications: Net income (loss) from our Telecommunications segment for
the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $0.5 million to a loss of $0.1
million from income of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 decreased $0.6 million to $0.2 million from $0.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily
due to a decline in the contracting of call termination margin as a result of
the continued decline in the international long distance market, partially
offset by a decrease in compensation expense due to headcount decreases.

Life Sciences: Net loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months
ended June 30, 2020 decreased $0.2 million to a loss of $1.2 million from a loss
of of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA
loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020
increased $2.7 million to $4.5 million from $1.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven
by higher expenses at R2 Technologies, which increased spending from the
comparable period to ramp up efforts to achieve commercialization of its
products.

Broadcasting: Net loss from our Broadcasting segment for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 increased $1.2 million to $4.7 million from $3.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Broadcasting
segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $0.2 million to $1.1
million from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Other and Eliminations: Net income from our Other and Eliminations segment for
the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $45.0 million to $46.1 million
from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA from
our Other and Eliminations segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $6.5 million to $0.9 million from $7.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in EBITDA for Other and Eliminations was
driven by lower profits for the HMN investment, which is generally attributable
to the timing of turnkey project work.

Non-operating Corporate: Net loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for
the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $16.4 million to $38.9 million
from $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA
loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the three months ended June
30, 2020 decreased $0.8 million to $3.6 million from $4.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was driven by
lower bonus and overhead costs compared to the prior period.

Construction: Net income from our Construction segment for the six months ended
June 30, 2020 decreased $9.5 million to $1.5 million from $11.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA from our Construction segment
for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $7.4 million to $28.1 million
from $35.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in
Adjusted EBITDA can be attributed to the timing of project work under execution
and change in backlog mix, including a reduction in large commercial
construction projects in the current period.

Energy: Net income (loss) from our Energy segment for the six months ended June
30, 2020 increased by $2.3 million to income of $1.0 million from a loss of $1.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA from our Energy
segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $5.7 million to $8.0
million from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase
in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher volume-related revenues from
the acquisition of ampCNG stations in June 2019 and the AFTC recognized in the
current period which had not yet been renewed in the comparable period.
Partially offsetting these increases were higher selling, general and
administrative expenses as a result of the acquisition of the ampCNG stations.

Telecommunications: Net income from our Telecommunications segment for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $0.5 million to $0.5 million from $1.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA from our
Telecommunications segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.0
million to $0.6 million from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decline in call
termination margin as a result of the continued decline in the international
long distance market, partially offset by a decrease in compensation expense due
to headcount decreases.

Life Sciences: Net loss from our Life Sciences segment for the six months ended
June 30, 2020 increased $0.4 million to $4.4 million from $4.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences
segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $4.0 million to $8.7
million from $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase
in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven by higher expenses at R2
Technologies, which increased spending from the comparable period to ramp up
efforts to achieve commercialization of its products and higher equity method
losses recorded from our investment in MediBeacon due to the timing of clinical
trials.

Broadcasting: Net loss from our Broadcasting segment for the six months ended
June 30, 2020 increased $3.0 million to $10.9 million from $7.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Broadcasting
segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.3 million to $2.1
million from $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The overall
decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven by increased revenue from
broadcast stations, as well as cost reductions at Network, partially offset by
increased cost of revenues associated with the higher number of operating
stations, and a decrease in advertising revenues at the Azteca network driven by
the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other and Eliminations: Net income (loss) from our Other and Eliminations
segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $8.7 million to income
of $4.0 million from a loss of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
2019. Adjusted EBITDA from our Other and Eliminations segment for the six months
ended June 30, 2020 decreased $3.2 million to a loss of $0.7 million from income
of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in EBITDA
for Other and Eliminations was driven by lower profits for the HMN investment,
which is generally attributable to the timing of turnkey project work.

Non-operating Corporate: Net loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $23.9 million to a loss of $70.0
million from a loss of $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the six months
ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.9 million to $8.6 million from $10.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was
driven by non-recurring severance payments made in the comparable period and
reduced overhead expenses.

Adjusted Operating Income - Insurance



Adjusted Operating Income ("Insurance AOI") and Pre-tax Adjusted Operating
Income ("Pre-tax Insurance AOI") for the Insurance segment are non-U.S. GAAP
financial measures frequently used throughout the insurance industry and are
economic measures the Insurance segment uses to evaluate its financial
performance. Management believes that Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI
measures provide investors with meaningful information for gaining an
understanding of certain results and provide insight into an organization's
operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies. However,
Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI have certain limitations, and we may not
calculate it the same as other companies in our industry. It should, therefore,
be read together with the Company's results calculated in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.

Similarly to Adjusted EBITDA, using Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI as
performance measures have inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared
to income (loss) from operations or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as these
non-U.S. GAAP measures exclude certain items, including items that are recurring
in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions,
Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI should not be considered in isolation
and do not purport to be an alternative to income (loss) from operations or
other U.S. GAAP financial measures as measures of our operating performance.

Management defines Insurance AOI as Net income for the Insurance segment
adjusted to exclude the impact of net investment gains (losses), including OTTI
losses recognized in operations; asset impairment; intercompany elimination;
gain on bargain purchase; gain on reinsurance recaptures; and acquisition costs.
Management defines Pre-tax Insurance AOI as Insurance AOI adjusted to exclude
the impact of income tax (benefit) expense recognized during the current period.
Management believes that Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI provide
meaningful financial metrics that help investors understand certain results and
profitability. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall
performance of the Insurance segment, market conditions impacting these items
can overshadow the underlying performance of the business. Accordingly, we
believe using a measure which excludes their impact is effective in analyzing
the trends of our operations.

The table below shows the adjustments made to the reported Net income (loss) of
the Insurance segment to calculate Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI (in
millions). Refer to the analysis of the fluctuations within the results of

(1) The Insurance segment revenues are inclusive of realized and unrealized
gains and net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, inclusive of transactions between entities under common control, which
are eliminated or are reclassified in consolidation.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $18.9 million to
$11.4 million from $30.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Pre-tax Insurance AOI for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $18.4
million to $14.6 million from $33.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
2019. The decrease was primarily driven by non-recurring favorable claims
activity recognized in the comparable period driven by an increase in contingent
non-forfeiture option activity as a result of in-force rate actions approved and
implemented and additional unfavorable claims activity and reserve developments
in the current year. Additionally, the Insurance segment incurred larger
expenses due to additional premium taxes, miscellaneous software expenses, third
party management fees, and legal expenses.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $52.7 million to
$11.4 million from $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Pre-tax
Insurance AOI for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $40.5 million to
$21.2 million from $61.7 million for six months ended June 30, 2019. The
decrease was primarily driven by non-recurring favorable claims activity
recognized in the comparable period driven by an increase in contingent
non-forfeiture option activity as a result of in-force rate actions approved and
implemented and additional unfavorable claims activity and reserve developments
in the current year. Additionally, the Insurance segment incurred larger
expenses due to additional premium taxes, miscellaneous software expenses, third
party management fees, and legal expenses.

Backlog



Projects in backlog consist of awarded contracts, letters of intent, notices to
proceed, change orders, and purchase orders obtained. Backlog increases as
contract commitments are obtained, decreases as revenues are recognized and
increases or decreases to reflect modifications in the work to be performed
under the contracts. Backlog is converted to sales in future periods as work is
performed or projects are completed. Backlog can be significantly affected by
the receipt or loss of individual contracts.

Construction Segment



At June 30, 2020, DBMG's backlog was $410.3 million, consisting of $349.9
million under contracts or purchase orders and $60.4 million under letters of
intent or notices to proceed. Approximately $96.6 million, representing 23.5% of
DBMG's backlog at June 30, 2020, was attributable to five contracts, letters of
intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more of these projects
terminate or reduce their scope, DBMG's backlog could decrease substantially.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

HC2 is a holding company and its liquidity needs are primarily for interest payments on its Senior Secured Notes, 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement, 7.5% convertible notes due 2022 (the "Convertible Notes"), dividend payments on its Preferred Stock and recurring operational expenses.



As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $203.8 million of cash and cash equivalents
compared to $228.8 million as of December 31, 2019. On a stand-alone basis, as
of June 30, 2020, HC2 had cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million compared to
$11.6 million at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents
in our Insurance segment was $139.5 million compared to $170.5 million at
December 31, 2019.

Our subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in
operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including
purchases of steel construction equipment and subsea cable equipment, fueling
stations, network equipment (such as switches, related transmission equipment
and capacity), and service infrastructure, liabilities associated with insurance
products, development of back-office systems, operating costs and expenses, and
income taxes.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $654.6 million of indebtedness on a consolidated basis compared to $805.0 million as of December 31, 2019. On a stand-alone basis, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, HC2 had indebtedness of $412.4 million and $540.0 million, respectively.



HC2's stand-alone debt consists of the $342.4 million aggregate principal amount
of the Senior Secured Notes, the $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of the
Convertible Notes, and the $15.0 million 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement. HC2 is
required to make semi-annual interest payments on its Senior Secured Notes and
Convertible Notes, and quarterly interest payments on its 2020 Revolving Credit
Agreement.

HC2 is required to make dividend payments on its outstanding Preferred Stock on January 15th, April 15th, July 15th, and October 15th of each year.

HC2 received $0.5 million in dividends from our Telecommunications segment during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

HC2 received $1.1 million and $2.9 million in net management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.



HC2 received $13.5 million in dividends from its Construction segment during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and on July 17, 2020 the construction
segment announced it will pay a cash dividend of $5.0 million, or $1.30 per
share. HC2 received approximately $4.5 million of the total dividend payout.

We have financed our growth and operations to date, and expect to finance our
future growth and operations, through public offerings and private placements of
debt and equity securities, credit facilities, vendor financing, capital lease
financing and other financing arrangements, as well as cash generated from the
operations of our subsidiaries. In the future, we may also choose to sell assets
or certain investments to generate cash.

                                       59
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, we believe that we will be able to continue to meet our liquidity
requirements and fund our fixed obligations (such as debt service and operating
leases) and other cash needs for our operations for at least the next twelve
months through a combination of distributions from our subsidiaries and from
raising of additional debt or equity, refinancing of certain of our indebtedness
or preferred stock, other financing arrangements and/or the sale of assets and
certain investments. Historically, we have chosen to reinvest cash and
receivables into the growth of our various businesses, and therefore have not
kept a large amount of cash on hand at the holding company level, a practice
which we expect to continue in the future. The ability of HC2's subsidiaries to
make distributions to HC2 is subject to numerous factors, including restrictions
contained in each subsidiary's financing agreements, regulatory requirements,
availability of sufficient funds at each subsidiary and the approval of such
payment by each subsidiary's board of directors, which must consider various
factors, including general economic and business conditions, tax considerations,
strategic plans, financial results and condition, expansion plans, any
contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, and
such other factors each subsidiary's board of directors considers relevant. Our
ability to sell assets and certain of our investments to meet our existing
financing needs may also be limited by our existing financing instruments.
Although the Company believes that it will be able to raise additional equity
capital, refinance indebtedness or preferred stock, enter into other financing
arrangements or engage in asset sales and sales of certain investments
sufficient to fund any cash needs that we are not able to satisfy with the funds
expected to be provided by our subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that it
will be able to do so on terms satisfactory to the Company if at all. Such
financing options, if pursued, may also ultimately have the effect of negatively
impacting our liquidity profile and prospects over the long-term. In addition,
the sale of assets or the Company's investments may also make the Company less
attractive to potential investors or future financing partners.

We have begun to see significant costs increases, primarily at our Construction
segment, driven by expenses associated with maintaining a safe work environment,
and while executing on their projects. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020, $8.4 million and $8.8 million of COVID-19 costs were incurred.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on the HC2's
liquidity in the first half of 2020, management believes the continuation of the
pandemic and its related effect on the U.S. and global economies could introduce
added pressure on the Company's liquidity position and financial performance.
Our sources of liquidity are primarily from the dividends from our operating
subsidiaries, tax sharing agreement with DBMG, cash proceeds from completed and
anticipated monetization's and other arrangements.

Additionally, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our corporate staff is
predominantly working remotely and many of our key vendors, and consultants have
similarly begun to work remotely. As a result of such remote work arrangements,
certain operational, reporting, accounting and other processes may slow, which
could result in longer time to execute critical business functions.

Indebtedness

See Note 14. Debt Obligations, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of our long-term debt.

Restrictive Covenants



The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes dated November 20, 2018, by and
among HC2, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a
national banking association ("U.S. Bank"), as trustee (the "Secured
Indenture"), contains certain affirmative and negative covenants limiting, among
other things, the ability of the Company, and, in certain cases, the Company's
subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in
sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of
capital stock; make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in
transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell
substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject
to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The Company is also required to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, which are similarly subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants include maintenance of (1) liquidity; (2) collateral coverage; (3) secured net leverage ratio; and (4) fixed charge coverage ratio.



The maintenance of liquidity covenant provides that the Company will not permit
the aggregate amount of (i) all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, (ii) amounts available for drawing under
revolving credit facilities and undrawn letters of credit of the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors and (iii) dividends, distributions or payments that are
immediately available to be paid to the Company by any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to be less than the Company's obligation to pay interest on the
Senior Secured Notes and all other debt, including Convertible Preferred Stock
mandatory cash dividends or any other mandatory cash pay Preferred Stock but
excluding any obligation to pay interest on Convertible Preferred Stock or any
other mandatory cash pay Preferred Stock which, in each case, may be paid by
accretion or in-kind in accordance with its terms of the Company and its
Subsidiary Guarantors for the next six months. As of December 31, 2019, the
Company was in compliance with this covenant.

The maintenance of collateral coverage provides that the Company's Collateral
Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Secured Indenture as the ratio of (i) the Loan
Collateral to (ii) Consolidated Secured Debt (each as defined therein))
calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter may
not be less than 1.50 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in
compliance with this covenant.

                                       60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The maintenance of secured net leverage ratio provides that the Company's
Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Secured Indenture) as of any date
of determination calculated on a pro forma basis after accounting for the net
proceeds from any Asset Sale which the Company has determined to apply to the
repayment of any Debt to exceed 7.75 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2020, the Company
was in compliance with this covenant.

The maintenance of fixed charge coverage ratio provides that commencing with the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, that the Company will not permit the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Secured Indenture) calculated as of the
last day of each fiscal year of the Company to be less than 1.00 to 1.00 or that
the Company's "HC2 Corporate Overhead" (as defined in the Secured Indenture) in
any fiscal year not exceed the sum of $29.0 million for such fiscal year. As of
June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance.

The instruments governing the Company's Preferred Stock also limit the Company's
and its subsidiaries ability to take certain actions, including, among other
things, to incur additional indebtedness; issue additional Preferred Stock;
engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain restricted payments.
These limitations are subject to a number of important exceptions and
qualifications.

The Company intends to conduct its operations in a manner that will result in
continued compliance with the Secured Indenture; however, compliance with
certain financial covenants for future periods may depend on the Company or one
or more of the Company's subsidiaries undertaking one or more non-operational
transactions, such as the management of operating cash outflows, a monetization
of assets, a debt incurrence or refinancing, the raising of equity capital, or
similar transactions. If the Company is unable to remain in compliance and does
not make alternate arrangements, an event of default would occur under the
Company's Secured Indenture which, among other remedies, could result in the
outstanding obligations under the indenture becoming immediately due and payable
and permitting the exercise of remedies with respect to the collateral. There is
no assurance the Company will be able to complete any non-operational
transaction it may undertake to maintain compliance with covenants under the
Secured Indenture or, even if the Company completes any such transaction, that
it will be able to maintain compliance for any subsequent period.
