ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
Section 6.07    Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. It is accordingly agreed that without posting bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party will allege, and each party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The parties agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 6.07, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section 6.07 shall require any party to institute any action for (or limit such party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 6.07 before exercising any other right under this Agreement.
Section 6.08    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic or pictorial appearance of a document.

Section 6.09    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.
Section 6.10    Public Disclosure. The parties shall agree on the form and content of any initial press release and, except with the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), shall not issue any other press release or other public statement or public communication with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the parties may, without the prior written consent of the other party, make such public statement or issue such public communication (a) as may be required by Law, any Governmental Authority or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange or interdealer quotation service; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by Law and practicable under the circumstances, the issuing party shall give the other party reasonable advance notice of any such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon prior to such public statement or communication being made, or (b) to enforce its rights or remedies under this Agreement.

Section 6.07    Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. It is accordingly agreed that without posting bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

We believe we are well positioned for growth and value creation in the years ahead.”

“I believe completing this transaction helps HC2 meet its key strategic objectives while positioning Continental to strategically expand its footprint and pursue new opportunities,” added Mr. Gorzynski. “We look forward to continuing to build a best-in-class organization that prioritizes policyholders.”

Exhibit 99.2

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 1, 2021, HC2 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HC2" or the "Company"), closed on the previously announced disposition of its Insurance segment, comprised of Continental Insurance Group LTD. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental General Insurance Company and Continental LTC Inc. (collectively, "CGI" or "Continental") to Continental General Holdings LLC (the "Buyer"). The Buyer is controlled by Michael Gorzynski, a director of the Company and beneficial owner of approximately 6.6% of the Company's outstanding common stock, the managing member of MG Capital Management, LTD., and has served as executive chairman of CGI since October 2020. The total consideration received is approximately $90 million, consisting of a combination of $65.0 million in cash plus the return of intercompany securities and certain assets held by CGI at cost plus accrued interest valued at approximately $25.7 million, which are eliminated in consolidation, less certain closing adjustments and transaction costs of $1.5 million.

The disposition of CGI (the "Insurance Disposition") constituted a significant disposition for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. As a result, the Company prepared the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements in accordance with Article 8 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Insurance Disposition qualified as discontinued operations in the historical Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, filed on May 7, 2021, as it represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 gives effect to the Insurance Disposition as if the transaction had occurred on March 31, 2021. The historical unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 of the Company gives effect to the Insurance Disposition as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on, and should be read in conjunction with:

Our historical unaudited consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the section entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, filed on May 7, 2021.

Our historical audited consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the section entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed on March 10, 2021.

The historical audited consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the transaction and, with respect to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the Company.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by HC2’s management in a manner consistent with the accounting policies of the Company and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the disposition been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they meant to be indicative of the Company's anticipated financial position or future results of operations that the Company will experience following the disposition.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the financial position and results from operations actually would have been had the disposition been completed at the date indicated and includes adjustments which are preliminary and may be revised. Such revisions may result in material changes. The financial position shown herein is not necessarily indicative of what the past financial position of the consolidated companies would have been, nor necessarily indicative of the financial position of the consolidated Company in the future.

2.    Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments

Adjustments included in the "Pro Forma Adjustments" column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 are as follows:

(a) This adjustment represents $65.0 million of cash proceeds received by HC2 at the close of the transaction. The cash received was reduced by $1.5 million, consisting of certain closing adjustments and estimated transaction costs.
Cash received $65.0 million
Intercompany securities and other intercompany assets at cost plus accrued interest $25.7 million
Gross proceeds $90.7 million
Less: Certain closing adjustments and estimated transaction costs ($1.5 million)
Net proceeds $89.2 million
Less: Elimination of intercompany securities and other intercompany assets at cost plus accrued interest ($25.7 million)
Consideration received, net of intercompany eliminations $63.5 million
(b) These adjustments represent the elimination of assets, liabilities, additional paid-in-capital, accumulated other comprehensive income, and non-controlling interest related to the Insurance segment, which were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2021. An additional $6.0 million of assets held for sale remaining on the balance sheet relate to activity from other HC2 subsidiaries, primarily HC2 Broadcasting Holdings station assets and certain discontinued operations in the United Kingdom related to HC2's Other segment.
(c) This adjustment represents accrued interest payable between DTV America and Continental General Insurance Company, which was previously eliminated in consolidation.
(d) This adjustment represents the HC2 Holdings, Inc. A & A-2 Preferred Stock of $16.2 million owned by Continental General Insurance Company, which was previously eliminated in consolidation and represents additional redeemable Preferred Stock.
(e) This adjustment represents the $40.9 million of DBM Global Intermediate Holdings, Inc. Preferred Stock owned by Continental General Insurance Company, which was previously eliminated in consolidation and represents redeemable non-controlling interest that is accounted for as a mezzanine equity instrument.
(f) This adjustment represents the loss arising from the sale of CGI. This estimated loss has not been reflected in the pro forma consolidated statement of operations as it is not included in continuing operations.
Net proceeds (as noted in item (a)) $89.2 million
Net book value of HC2's investment in Insurance segment immediately prior to the transfer of assets and cash related to the closing of the transaction $507.6 million
Less: Accumulated other comprehensive income $220.5 million

Estimated loss on sale (Net proceeds less net assets sold) ($197.9 million)

3.     Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations Adjustments

Adjustments included in the "Pro Forma Adjustments" column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
(g) As of March 31, 2021, all activity related to the Insurance segment was classified as discontinued operations and presented on the Income (loss) from discontinued operations line item. As such, no incremental adjustments were required.
(h) This adjustment reflects the elimination of net investment income, unrealized gains (losses), and life, accident and health earned premiums, net of the Insurance segment.
(i) This adjustment reflects the elimination of policy benefits, changes in reserves, and commissions of the Insurance segment.
(j) This adjustment reflects the elimination of operating and administrative expenses of Insurance segment. Not included in the pro-forma results are anticipated savings due to costs that may be reduced or eliminated.
(k) This adjustment reflects the elimination of depreciation and amortization expense, including negative Value of Business Acquired ("VOBA") amortization, of the Insurance segment. VOBA is a liability that reflects the estimated fair value of in-force contracts in a life insurance company acquisition less the amount recorded as insurance contract liabilities. It represents the portion of the purchase price that is allocated to the value of the rights to receive future cash flows from the business in force at the acquisition date. A VOBA liability (negative asset) occurs when the estimated fair value of in-force contracts in a life insurance company acquisition is less than the amount recorded as insurance contract liabilities. Amortization of negative VOBA reflects an increase to net income.
(l) This adjustment reflects the elimination of other income of the Insurance segment.
(m) This adjustment reflects the elimination of income tax expense of the Insurance segment.
(n)
Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using the two-class method, which allocates earnings among common stock and participating securities to calculate EPS when an entity's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities. As such, shares of any unvested restricted stock of the Company are considered participating securities. The dilutive effect of options and their equivalents (including non-vested stock issued under stock-based compensation plans), is computed using the "treasury" method as this measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period.
