EXPLANATORY NOTE - AMENDMENT




HC2 Holdings, Inc. ("HC2" or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A ("Form 10-K/A") to include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2018 (the “Annual Report”), consolidated financial statements and related notes of Huawei Marine Systems Co. Limited (“Huawei Marine”), an unconsolidated joint venture based in Hong Kong in which the Company's consolidated operating subsidiary, Global Marine Systems Limited (“GMSL”) owned a 49% non-controlling interest, during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides that if a 50% or less owned person accounted for by the equity method meets the first or third condition of the significant subsidiary tests set forth in Rule 1-02(w), substituting 20% for 10%, separate financial statements for such 50% or less owned person shall be filed.

The consolidated financial statements of Huawei Marine included as an exhibit hereto have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). Additionally, because the consolidated financial statements of Huawei Marine are presented in accordance with IFRS, reconciliations between IFRS and U.S. GAAP are not required pursuant to SEC Release 33-8879 and 34-57026 and have been omitted.

Only Item 15 of Part IV of the Annual Report is being supplemented or amended by this Form 10-K/A to include the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Huawei Marine, as provided in Exhibit 99.1. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 15 of Part IV of the Annual Report also has been amended to include the consent of the independent auditors of Huawei Marine and certifications from the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The consent of the independent auditors and the certifications of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Form 10-K/A as Exhibits 23.2, 31.3, 31.4, 32.2, respectively. This Form 10-K/A does not otherwise update any exhibits as originally filed and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Annual Report.
