Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 26, 2017, HC2 Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "HC2") announced that it priced an offering of $55 million aggregate principal amount of its 11.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the "Notes") at an issue price of 100.000% plus accrued interest from December 1, 2016 the ("Notes Offering"). A copy of the press release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Jefferies LLC, the initial purchaser named therein (the "Initial Purchaser"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase, and the Company has agreed to sell, $55 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's Notes. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants and closing conditions that are customary for transactions of this type. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the issuance of the Notes to refinance the 11.000% Senior Secured Bridge Note due 2019 issued by HC2 Holdings 2, Inc. ("HC2 2"), for working capital for the Company and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions and investments. The offering is expected to close on January 31, 2017, subject to certain closing conditions. The Notes are to be issued under the same indenture as, and will constitute part of a single class of securities with, the Company's existing 11.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2019.
The Notes will be offered solely by means of a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes to be issued in this offering have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any security in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This Current Report on Form 8- K contains information about pending transactions, and there can be no assurance that these transactions will be completed.
In connection with the Notes Offering, HC2 is providing investors with certain financial and other information of HC2, which HC2 is furnishing with this report.
