Support of Minority Shareholder Interests

The Shareholder Forum had offered to support Appraised Value Rights ("AVR") of DBM (f/k/a Schuff International) minority shareholders in 2014 following a $31.50 per share tender offer by the company's controlling shareholder, HC2 Holdings, Inc., with the stated intent to proceed with a short-form merger "as soon as practicable.”

HC2 acquired DBM shares in the 2014 tender offer and other purchases bringing its total holdings to 92% of outstanding DBM shares, but has not proceeded with a merger. The Forum has continued to support the minority shareholder interests of its AVR participants in this context.

Activist Action

Shareholders of HC2 Holdings Inc., the publicly-traded successor to embattled hedge fund manager Philip Falcone's Harbinger Group, requisitioned a survey of the firm's investor base. The survey, conducted by Gary Lutin's The Shareholder Forum, and disclosed on Sept. 27 found that only 24% of shareholders polled had confidence in the current board and executives and that 68% of shareholders supported adding at least some new directors. Respondents who owned more than 100,000 shares showed a much stronger two-third level of support for replacing all or most board members.

Upcoming Date and Event

HC2's annual meting is likely to take place in June. The deadline to submit shareholder proposals is January 3.
