ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements may occur and not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting described below was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may decline. 67 As permitted by SEC guidance, management excluded from its assessment the operations of the Banker Steel acquisition made during 2021, which is described in Note 5. Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Deconsolidations to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report. Banker Steel constituted 26.6% and 270.1% of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2021, and 22.4% and 6.1% of revenues and net income (loss), respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, we were in the process of integrating Banker Steel's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting. Such exclusion was in accordance with the SEC guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted in management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting, providing the acquisition took place within twelve months of management’s evaluation. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. This assessment was based on updated criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021. Auditor Attestation Report Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which is on page F-5 of this report. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

New York, NY Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of INNOVATE Corp. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated March 9, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Revenue Recognition - Estimated Costs to Complete As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, with respect to the Company's Infrastructure segment (DBM Global Inc.), the Company recognizes a significant portion of its revenue over time using the input method to measure the progress of costs incurred for its service and construction contracts. The cost estimation process for these contracts is based on the knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and the Company’s revenue recognition. F-2 We identified estimated costs to complete on specific revenue contracts as a critical audit matter. The determination of the total estimated cost and progress toward completion requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Total estimated costs to complete projects include various costs such as direct material, labor, subcontract costs, indirect labor, and fabrication plant overhead costs. Changes in these estimates can have a significant impact on the revenue recognized each period. Auditing these elements involved especially challenging auditor judgment in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumptions and estimates over the duration of these contracts. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: • Assessing the reasonableness of the estimated costs to complete for a sample of open projects through: (i) evaluating the reasonableness of project budgets and the nature of costs required to complete open projects, (ii) assessing the status of completion of respective projects through testing of a sample of project costs incurred to date, (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of project status by performing inquiries of project managers and assessing the nature of activities required to complete open projects, and (iv) performing retrospective review for open projects and investigating budget to actual variances (if any). • Assessing the reasonableness of changes in estimated costs to complete during quarterly reviews and at year end and investigating reasons for changes in expected costs and project margins. • Evaluating the reasonableness of a sample of project budgets for projects completed during the year through a retrospective review against actual performance at project completion. Valuation of Investment in Securities With respect to the sale of the Company's Insurance segment, Continental Insurance Group Ltd (“CIG”) disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying value of the deconsolidated entity included Level 3 fixed maturity securities and equity securities at the sale closing date, a portion of which were valued based on non-binding broker quotes, as disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The lack of visibility into assumptions used in non-binding broker quotes are significant unobservable inputs, which create greater subjectivity when determining the fair values. We identified the use of non-binding broker quotes as a critical audit matter. The use of non-binding broker quotes was the significant unobservable input and assumption used by the Company in determining the fair value of certain financial instruments reflected as Level 3 fixed maturity securities and equity securities in circumstances where vendor pricing was not available at the sale closing date. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: • Evaluating the valuation methodologies used by the Company for Level 3 fixed maturity securities and equity securities at the sale closing date. • Comparing the Company’s fair value estimates of Level 3 fixed maturity securities and equity securities at the sale closing date to a range of fair value estimates independently calculated utilizing valuation specialists. We evaluated information that corroborated or contradicted the Company’s fair value estimates, including observable yields, transaction data for similar securities, and historical collateral performance data. Accounting for Issuance of Preferred Stock As described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 1, 2021 and as a part of the sale of CIG which resulted in the deconsolidation of the entity, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange the remaining shares of the Series A and Series A-2 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock held by the now deconsolidated CGIC for an equivalent number of Series A-3 and Series A-4 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and issued DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock to the now deconsolidated CGIC. The terms of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 remained substantially the same, except that the Series A-3 and Series A-4 will mature on July 1, 2026. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock were classified as temporary equity as of December 31, 2021. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, or at any time or by the holder prior to July 2026. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock was classified as temporary equity as of December 31, 2021. F-3 We identified the accounting for issuance of preferred stock as a critical audit matter. Significant judgments and highly complex technical accounting guidance are required in the determination of the scope of the applicable accounting guidance and appropriate balance sheet classification, including the identification and evaluation of embedded features potentially requiring bifurcation as derivatives as well as the determination of initial and subsequent recognition and measurement, and the determination of any resulting adjustments to earnings per share. Auditing these elements involved especially challenging and complex auditor judgment due to extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized skills or knowledge needed. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: • Reading and analyzing the contract terms related to the issuance of Series A-3 and A-4 Preferred Stock and the issuance of DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock. • Evaluating the reasonableness of the conclusions made by the Company related to the accounting treatment for issuance of preferred stock, including the Company’s consideration of relevant accounting standards to analyze the proper balance sheet classification, the embedded features, and the initial and subsequent recognition and measurement. • Reviewing and recalculating the computation of the Company’s earnings per share as of December 31, 2021. • Utilizing personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in the relevant technical accounting guidance to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of Management’s application of relevant accounting guidance for the issuance of Preferred Stock. Accounting for Exchange of Convertible Notes As described in Notes 2 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, on February 1, 2021, the Company entered into exchange agreements by which the Company exchanged the 2022 Convertible Notes for newly issued 7.50% convertible notes due 2026. The Company accounted for this exchange under the debt extinguishment model and the embedded conversion feature contained in the 2026 Convertible Notes was recorded as a premium on the 2026 Convertible Notes. We identified accounting for the exchange of convertible notes as a critical audit matter. Significant judgments and highly complex technical accounting guidance are required in the determination of (i) whether the exchange of convertible notes was a modification or extinguishment of debt; (ii) whether the conversion feature should be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative and the substantial premium model should be applied, and (iii) whether the convertible notes should be recorded as a liability in its entirety. Auditing these elements involved especially challenging and complex auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to evaluate management’s application of highly complex technical accounting guidance to these elements, including the extent of specialized skills or knowledge needed. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: • Reading and analyzing the contract terms of the Indenture for the 7.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 related to the exchange of convertible notes. • Evaluating the reasonableness of the conclusions made by the Company related to the accounting treatment for modification or extinguishment of debt, including the Company’s consideration of relevant accounting standards to analyze the conversion feature, premium and classification and presentation of the instrument as a whole in the consolidated balance sheet. • Utilizing personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in the relevant technical accounting guidance to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of management’s application of relevant technical accounting guidance to the exchange of convertible notes. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2011. /s/ BDO USA, LLP New York, NY March 9, 2022 F-4 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Shareholders and Board of Directors INNOVATE Corp. New York, NY Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited INNOVATE Corp. and subsidiaries’ (the “Company’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes and our report dated March 9, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 9A, Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As indicated in the accompanying Item 9A, Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Banker Steel Holdco LLC, which was acquired on May 27, 2021, and which is included in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. Banker Steel Holdco constituted 26.6% and 270.1% of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2021, and 22.4% and 6.1% of revenues and net income (loss), respectively, for the year then ended. Management did not assess the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of Banker Steel Holdco LLC because of the timing of the acquisition which was completed on May 27, 2021. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Banker Steel Holdco, LLC. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. F-5 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ BDO USA, LLP New York, NY March 9, 2022 F-6 INNOVATE CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and all other subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the results of DBMG, Genovel, R2, Broadcasting, CIG, GMH and Beyond6 have been consolidated into the Company’s results based on guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" 810, Consolidation) . The remaining interests not owned by the Company are presented as a noncontrolling interest component of total equity. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein have been prepared in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain prior amounts have been reclassified or combined to conform to the current year presentation. Liquidity 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 from the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements through a combination of available cash and distributions from our subsidiaries. The ability of INNOVATE’s subsidiaries to make distributions to INNOVATE is subject to numerous factors, including restrictions contained in each subsidiary’s financing agreements, 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. Although the Company believes, to the extent needed, 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 on hand or 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. 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. 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. COVID-19 There are many uncertainties regarding the current coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, and the Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effectiveness of the vaccine programs, on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels and any potential prolonging or worsening of the pandemic due to COVID-19 variants. We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company's financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. However, as the pandemic continues, it may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. F-13 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED COVID-19 has continued to cause supply chain challenges related to labor shortages and supply chain disruptions, which may create significant delays in our ability to complete projects or deliver products. The receipt of material from impacted areas has been slowed or disrupted and our suppliers are expected to face similar challenges in fulfilling orders. In addition, reductions in the number of ocean carrier voyages, ocean freight capacity issues, congestion at major international gateways and other economic factors continue to persist worldwide due to COVID-19 and worldwide supply impacts as there is much greater demand for shipping and reduced capacity and equipment, which has resulted in recent price increases per shipping container. In addition, in the United States, trucking costs have risen dramatically due to driver shortages and increased labor costs, as well as new federal and state safety, environmental and labor regulations. These changes, as well as COVID-19 related state and local restrictions on domestic trucking and the operation of distribution centers, may disrupt our supply chain, which may result in a delay in the completion of our projects and cause us to incur significant additional costs. Although we may attempt to pass on certain of these increased costs to our customers, we may not be able to pass all of these cost increases on to our customers. As a result, our margins may be adversely impacted by such cost increases. These supply chain disruptions and transportation challenges could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised principally of amounts in money market accounts with original maturities of three months or less. Acquisitions The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Estimates of fair value included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , represent the Company’s best estimates and valuations developed, when needed, with the assistance of independent appraisers or, where such valuations have not yet been completed or are not available, industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions. Such estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the valuations will be realized, and actual results could vary materially. Equity Method Investments The Company utilizes the equity method to account for investments when it possesses the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when an investor possesses more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee, such as with our investments in MediBeacon and Triple Ring, of which we own an approximately 47 % interest in MediBeacon and an approximately 26 % interest in Triple Ring. This presumption may be overcome based on specific facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise significant influence is restricted, such as with our 19 % equity method investment in HMN, as we continue to maintain a seat on the entity's board of directors and can exert significant influence. The Company applies the equity method to investments in common stock and to other investments when such other investments possess substantially identical subordinated interests to common stock. In applying the equity method, the Company records the investment at cost and subsequently increases or decreases the carrying amount of the investment by its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses in (Loss) income from equity investees and other comprehensive income of the investee. The Company records dividends or other equity distributions as reductions in the carrying value of the investment. In the event that net losses of the investee reduce the carrying amount to zero, additional net losses may be recorded if other investments in the investee are at-risk, even if the Company has not committed to provide financial support to the investee. Such additional equity method losses, if any, are based upon the change in the Company's claim on the investee’s book value. Fair Value Measurements General accounting principles for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. These principles also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are defined as having the following characteristics for the measured asset/liability: (i) many transactions, (ii) current prices, (iii) price quotes not varying substantially among market makers, (iv) narrow bid/ask spreads and (v) most information publicly available. The Company’s Level 1 financial instruments consist primarily of publicly traded equity securities and highly liquid government bonds for which quoted market prices in active markets are available. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or market standard valuation techniques and assumptions with significant inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by F-14 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Such observable inputs include benchmarking prices for similar assets in active, liquid markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active and observable yields and spreads in the market. The Company’s Level 2 financial instruments include corporate and municipal fixed maturity securities, mortgage-backed non-affiliated common stocks priced using observable inputs. Level 2 inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, corroborated broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities. When non-binding broker quotes can be corroborated by comparison to similar securities priced using observable inputs, they are classified as Level 2. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the related assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose value is determined using market standard valuation techniques. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard techniques for determining the estimated fair value of certain securities that trade infrequently, and therefore have little transparency, rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value and that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. These unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management judgment or estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even though unobservable, management believes these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing similar assets and liabilities. For the Company’s invested assets, most of which relate to the 2020 held-for-sale assets of the Insurance segment, this category primarily includes private placements, asset-backed securities, and to a lesser extent, certain residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, among others. Prices are determined using valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flow models and other similar techniques. Non-binding broker quotes, which are utilized when pricing service information is not available, are reviewed for reasonableness based on the Company’s understanding of the market, and are generally considered Level 3. Under certain circumstances, based on its observations of transactions in active markets, the Company may conclude the prices received from independent third-party pricing services or brokers are not reasonable or reflective of market activity. In those instances, the Company would apply internally developed valuation techniques to the related assets or liabilities. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company may utilize information from third parties, such as pricing services and brokers, to assist in determining the fair value for certain assets and liabilities; however, management is ultimately responsible for all fair values presented in the Company’s financial statements. This includes responsibility for monitoring the fair value process, ensuring objective and reliable valuation practices and pricing of assets and liabilities, and approving changes to valuation methodologies and pricing sources. The selection of the valuation technique(s) to apply considers the definition of an exit price and the nature of the asset or liability being valued and significant expertise and judgment is required . Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Our allowance for doubtful accounts considers historical experience, the age of certain receivable balances, credit history, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect the counterparty’s ability to pay. The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer. Once collection efforts by the Company are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $ 0.1 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively. Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value under the first-in, first-out method. Provision for obsolescence is made where appropriate and is charged to cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Short-term work in progress on contracts is stated at cost less foreseeable losses. These costs include only direct labor and expenses incurred to date and exclude any allocation of overhead. The policy for long-term work in progress contracts is disclosed within the Revenue and Cost Recognition accounting policy. Accounting for Income Taxes We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of transactions and events. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. If necessary, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount that is determined to be more likely than not recoverable. We must make significant estimates and assumptions about future taxable income and future tax consequences when determining the amount of the valuation allowance. The additional guidance provided by ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. Expected outcomes of current or anticipated tax examinations, refund claims and tax-related litigation and estimates regarding additional tax liability (including interest and penalties thereon) or refunds resulting therefrom will be recorded based on the guidance provided by ASC 740 to the extent applicable. F-15 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. These assessments of uncertain tax positions contain judgments related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which we transact business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, expiration of statutes of limitations, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, tax laws and regulations. At December 31, 2021, our U.S. and foreign companies have significant deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforwards. Additionally, the deferred tax assets generated by certain businesses that do not qualify to be included in the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return have been reduced by a full valuation allowance. Based on consideration of both positive and negative evidence, we determined that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets of the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated filing group will not be realized. Therefore, a valuation allowance was maintained against the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated filing group’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021. The appropriateness and amount of the valuation allowance are based on cumulative history of losses and our assumptions about the future taxable income of each affiliate and the timing of the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities. In relation to tax effects for accumulated OCI, our policy is to release the tax effects of amounts reclassified from accumulated OCI to pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations. Any remaining tax effect in accumulated OCI is released following a portfolio approach. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost includes major expenditures for improvements and replacements which extend useful lives or increase capacity of the assets as well as expenditures necessary to place assets into readiness for use. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Cost includes finance costs incurred prior to the asset being available for use. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Costs for internal use software that are incurred in the preliminary project stage and in the post-implementation stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, beginning when the software project is ready for its intended use, over the estimated useful life of the software. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 40 years for buildings and leasehold improvements, 3 to 15 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures, and 3 to 20 years for transportation equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the leases or estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. Assets under construction are not depreciated until they are complete and available for use. When assets are sold or otherwise retired, the costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the books and the resulting gain or loss is included in operating results. Property, plant and equipment that have been included as part of the assets held for sale are no longer depreciated from the time that they are classified as such. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment based upon the estimated cash flows to be generated by the related assets. If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise. Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to the provisions of ASC 360, Property, plant, and equipment ("ASC 360"). Goodwill impairment is tested at least annually (October 1st) or when factors indicate potential impairment using a two-step process that begins with a qualitative evaluation of each reporting unit. If such test indicates potential for impairment, a one-step quantitative test is performed and, if there is excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, impairment is recorded, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires various assumptions including projections of future cash flows, perpetual growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s assessment of a number of factors, including the reporting unit’s recent performance against budget, performance in the market that the reporting unit serves, and industry and general economic data from third-party sources. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in those future cash flows. Changes to the underlying businesses could affect the future cash flows, which in turn could affect the fair value of the reporting unit. Intangible assets not subject to amortization consist of certain licenses. Such indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test shall consist of a comparison of the fair value of an intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to the excess. F-16 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Intangible assets subject to amortization consists of certain trade names, customer contracts and developed technology. These finite lived intangible assets are amortized based on their estimated useful lives. Such assets are subject to the impairment provisions of ASC 360, wherein impairment is recognized and measured only if there are events and circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group. An impairment loss is recorded if after determining that it is not recoverable, the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. In addition to the foregoing, the Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The factors that the Company considers important, and which could trigger an impairment review, include, but are not limited to: a more likely than not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit; a significant decline in the market value of our common stock or debt securities for a sustained period; a material adverse change in economic, financial market, industry or sector trends; a material failure to achieve operating results relative to historical levels or projected future levels; and significant changes in operations or business strategy. For details regarding goodwill impairment, see Note 8. Goodwill and Intangibles, net. Licensing: Television broadcast licenses generally are granted for eight-year periods. They are renewable after application and reviewed by the FCC and historically are renewed except in rare cases in which a petition to deny, a complaint or an adverse finding as to the licensee's qualifications results in loss of the license. Valuation of Long-lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In making such evaluations, the Company compares the expected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the assets. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company is required to make estimates of the fair value of the long-lived assets in order to calculate the impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets. The Company makes significant assumptions and estimates in this process regarding matters that are inherently uncertain, such as determining asset groups and estimating future cash flows, remaining useful lives, discount rates and growth rates. The resulting undiscounted cash flows are projected over an extended period of time, which subjects those assumptions and estimates to an even larger degree of uncertainty. While the Company believes that its estimates are reasonable, different assumptions could materially affect the valuation of the long-lived assets. The Company derives future cash flow estimates from its historical experience and its internal business plans, which include consideration of industry trends, competitive actions, technology changes, regulatory actions, available financial resources for marketing and capital expenditures and changes in its underlying cost structure. The Company makes assumptions about the remaining useful life of its long-lived assets. The assumptions are based on the average life of its historical capital asset additions and its historical asset purchase trend. In some cases, due to the nature of a particular industry in which the company operates, the Company may assume that technology changes in such industry render all associated assets, including equipment, obsolete with no salvage value after their useful lives. In certain circumstances in which the underlying assets could be leased for an additional period of time or salvaged, the Company includes such estimated cash flows in its estimate. The estimate of the appropriate discount rate to be used to apply the present value technique in determining fair value was the Company’s weighted average cost of capital which is based on the effective rate of its debt obligations at the current market values (for periods during which the Company had debt obligations) as well as the current volatility and trading value of the Company’s common stock. Leases The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases , which requires the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating and finance leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, current operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Finance leases are included in finance lease assets, current finance lease liabilities and long-term finance lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. For lease agreements that contain non-lease components, the Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has operating leases for land, office space, and certain Company vehicles and equipment and finance leases for certain Company vehicles and equipment. The leases are expiring between 2022 and 2045. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheets. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. As of December 31, 2021, the operating lease liability does not include any options to extend or terminate leases. F-17 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Presentation of Taxes Collected The Company reports a value-added tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between the Company and a customer on a net basis (excluded from revenues). Foreign Currency Transactions Foreign currency transactions are transactions denominated in a currency other than a subsidiary’s functional currency. A change in the exchange rates between a subsidiary’s functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated increases or decreases the expected amount of functional currency cash flows upon settlement of the transaction. That increase or decrease in expected functional currency cash flows is reported by the Company as a foreign currency transaction gain (loss). The primary component of the Company’s foreign currency transaction gain (loss) is due to agreements in place with certain subsidiaries in foreign countries regarding intercompany transactions. The Company anticipates repayment of these transactions in the foreseeable future, and recognizes the realized and unrealized gains or losses on these transactions that result from foreign currency changes in the period in which they occur as foreign currency transaction gain (loss). Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the reporting date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The net effect of such translation gains and losses are reflected within AOCI in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. If there is a planned or completed sale or liquidation of the Company's ownership in a foreign operation, the relevant foreign currency translation adjustment is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Convertible Instruments The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities. Applicable U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principals ("GAAP") requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. The Company accounts for convertible instruments, when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities. Deferred Financing Costs The Company capitalizes certain expenses incurred in connection with its debt and line of credit obligations and amortizes them over the term of the respective debt agreement. The amortization expense of the deferred financing costs is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. If the Company extinguishes portions of its debt prior to the maturity date, deferred financing costs are charged to expense on a pro-rata basis and are included in loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt on the consolidated statements of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the extent of progress towards completion on contracts, contract revenue and costs on long-term contracts, valuation of certain investments and the insurance reserves, market assumptions used in estimating the fair values of certain assets and liabilities, the calculation used in determining the fair value of INNOVATE’s stock options required by ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"), income taxes and various other contingencies. Estimates of fair value represent the Company’s best estimates developed with the assistance of independent appraisals or various valuation techniques and, where the foregoing have not yet been completed or are not available, industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions. The estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond the F-18 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the valuations will be realized, and actual results could vary materially. Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 . All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for using a fair-value based method. The Company records share-based compensation expense for all new and unvested stock options that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. The Company uses a Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the grant date fair value of share-based compensation under ASC 718. The Black-Scholes model incorporates various assumptions including the expected term of awards, volatility of stock price, risk-free rates of return and dividend yield. The expected term of an award is no less than the option vesting period and is based on the Company’s historical experience. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The risk-free interest rate is approximated using rates available on U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term similar to the option’s expected life. The Company uses a dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model as it does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Share-based compensation is recorded net of actual forfeitures. Concentrations of Credit Risk and of Significant Suppliers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains all cash and cash equivalents at accredited financial institutions, in amounts that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company holds $ 4.7 million and $ 8.5 million cash in foreign accounts as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company attempts to minimize the risks related to cash and cash equivalents by investing in a range of financial instruments as defined by the Company. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited by the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and their geographic and business dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2021, one customer exceeded 10% of the Company's revenue and accounted for approximately 13.9 %. No customers accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenue and no customers accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2021, one supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts payable for approximately 15.1 %. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, no suppliers accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts payable. Income (Loss) Per Common Share Basic income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock, adjusted for the dilutive effect of potential common stock and related income from continuing operations, net of tax. Potential common stock, computed using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, includes options, warrants, restricted stock, restricted stock units and convertible preferred stock. In periods when the Company generates income, the Company calculates basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") using the two-class method, pursuant to ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share . The two-class method is required as the shares of the Company’s preferred stock qualify as participating securities, having the right to receive dividends should dividends be declared on common stock. Under this method, earnings for the period are allocated to the common stock and preferred stock to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The Company does not use the two-class method in periods when it generates a loss as the holders of the preferred stock do not participate in losses. Discontinued Operations In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations , the Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results when the business is disposed of or classified as held-for-sale. Under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment , assets may be classified as held-for-sale even though the discontinued operations criteria is not met. The results of discontinued operations are reported in Loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. F-19 INNOVATE CORP.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year Accounting for Investments-Equity Securities ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) , was issued by the FASB in January 2020. This update clarifies the interaction between the accounting for investments in equity securities, investment in equity method and certain derivatives instruments. The Company adopted this update as of January 1, 2021 and the update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Debt with Conversion Options ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity , was issued by the FASB in August 2020. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options , that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share , to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The standard is effective on January 1, 2024, but the Company elected early adoption as of January 1, 2021. A modified retrospective method of transition was applied, which resulted in no impact to the Company. Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805) was issued by the FASB in October 2021. This update requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue Recognition (Topic 606) . At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts by assessing how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree's financial statements. The Company adopted this update as of January 1, 2021, and applied the guidance to the Company's acquisition of Banker Steel. Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted Subsequent to December 31, 2021 Credit Loss Standard ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, was issued by FASB in June 2016. This standard is effective January 1, 2020 (with early adoption permitted). This new standard changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model and adds certain new required disclosures. Under the expected loss model, entities will recognize estimated credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument rather than delaying recognition of credit losses until it is probable the loss has been incurred. The FASB has voted to delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to January 1, 2023 for smaller reporting companies with a revised ASU in the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company will not be required to adopt Topic 326 until January 1, 2023. Currently, the Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of the new standard on its financial results. Subsequent Events ASC 855, Subsequent Events requires the Company to evaluate events that occur after the balance sheet date as of which the financial statements are issued, and to determine whether adjustments to or additional disclosures in the financial statements are necessary. See Note 19. Subsequent Events for the summary of the subsequent events. F-21 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED 3. Discontinued Operations The results of GMSL, ICS, Beyond6, and CIG and the related expenses directly attributable to the entities were reported as discontinued operations. Summarized operating results of the discontinued operations are as follows (in millions): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Revenue $ 1.7 $ 519.6 Life, accident and health earned premiums, net 55.7 115.1 Net investment income 92.4 188.9 Realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments 5.1 ( 15.0 ) Total revenue 154.9 808.6 Cost of revenue 0.8 492.4 Policy benefits, changes in reserves, and commissions 126.0 250.0 Selling, general and administrative 21.1 62.0 Depreciation and amortization ( 11.0 ) ( 8.3 ) Other operating expenses — 0.3 Income from operations 18.0 12.2 Interest expense ( 0.5 ) ( 12.1 ) Loss on sale and liquidation of subsidiaries ( 159.9 ) ( 44.1 ) Income from equity investees — 0.5 Other loss ( 3.1 ) ( 2.3 ) Pre-tax loss from discontinued operations ( 145.5 ) ( 45.8 ) Income tax expense ( 4.4 ) ( 2.6 ) Loss from discontinued operations $ ( 149.9 ) $ ( 48.4 ) Sale of CIG The sale of CIG closed on July 1, 2021 to Continental General Holdings LLC, an entity controlled by Michael Gorzynski, a director of the Company and, as of December 31, 2021, a beneficial owner of approximately 6.6 % of the Company's outstanding common stock who has also served as executive chairman of Continental since October 2020. The Insurance segment, which primarily consisted of a closed block of long-term care insurance, had a book value, inclusive of intercompany eliminations, at the time of the sale of $ 544.0 million, inclusive of $ 344.0 million of Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The carrying value of the Insurance segment at the time of sale excluded cash of $ 62.5 million and investments of $ 26.7 million which were distributed to the Company through an extraordinary dividend immediately prior to the sale. The extraordinary dividend was approved by our domestic regulator in connection with the approval of the sale. The amount included in AOCI was reversed from equity at the time of the sale and offset the loss recognized. While several factors impacted the fair value of the Insurance segment at the end of 2019, following discussions with our domestic regulator, changes in the asset management fee arrangement and expectations of future dividends primarily and ultimately resulted in the full impairment of the goodwill associated with the Insurance segment during the year ended December 31, 2019. While these factors did not have a major impact on the operations of the stand-alone business, they did have a significant impact on the economic benefit that could be realized by the Company. As a result of the factors described above, combined with the risks associated with the long-term care insurance industry, the Company exited the segment and sold the business resulting in a $ 200.8 million loss on the sale of CIG. Sale of Beyond6 On December 31, 2020, the Company announced a plan to sell Beyond6 to an affiliate of Mercuria Investments US, Inc., pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") among Beyond6, Greenfill, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), Greenfill Merger Inc., a newly-formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and an affiliate of INNOVATE as the Stockholder Representative for the Beyond6 stockholders. The sale closed on January 15, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a $ 39.2 million gain on the sale. During the third quarter of 2021, as a result of releases of related escrows and hold backs, the Company recognized an additional $ 0.5 million gain on the sale. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Beyond6 were used to repay $ 15.0 million of the then outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement and repay $ 27.9 million of the Company's 2021 Senior Secured Notes.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a gain on sale of $ 2.4 million as a result of the cash collateralized bonding facility release. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $ 1.2 million as a result of an indemnity release. The net proceeds from the sale of GMSL were used to repay $ 15.0 million of the then outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement and redeem $ 76.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 11.5 % senior secured notes due 2021 (the "2021 Senior Secured Notes"), plus accrued and unpaid interest since December 1, 2019 (the last regularly scheduled interest payment date).

To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps in accordance with ASC 606: Identify the contract with a customer A contract with a customer exists when: (a) the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, (b) the rights of the parties can be identified, (c) payment terms can be identified, (d) the arrangement has commercial substance, and (e) collectability of consideration is probable. Judgment is required when determining if the contractual criteria are met, specifically in the earlier stages of a project when a formally executed contract may not yet exist. In these situations, the Company evaluates all relevant facts and circumstances, including the existence of other forms of documentation or historical experience with our customers that may indicate a contractual agreement is in place and revenue should be recognized. In determining if the collectability of consideration is probable, the Company considers the customer’s ability and intention to pay such consideration through an evaluation of several factors, including an assessment of the creditworthiness of the customer and our prior collection history with such customer. Identify the performance obligations in the contract At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract and identifies, as a separate performance obligation, each distinct promise to transfer goods or services to the customer. The identified performance obligations represent the "unit of account" for purposes of determining revenue recognition. In order to properly identify separate performance obligations, the Company applies judgment in determining whether each good or service provided is: (a) capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and (b) distinct within the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. F-24 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED In addition, when assessing performance obligations within a contract, the Company considers the warranty provisions included within such contract. To the extent the warranty terms provide the customer with an additional service, other than assurance that the promised good or service complies with agreed upon specifications, such warranty is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. In determining whether a warranty provides an additional service, the Company considers each warranty provision in comparison to warranty terms which are standard in the industry. Determine the transaction price The transaction price represents the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to our customers. The consideration promised within a contract may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. To the extent the performance obligation includes variable consideration, including contract bonuses and penalties that can either increase or decrease the transaction price, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price utilizing one of two prescribed methods, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled. Such methods include: (a) the expected value method, whereby the amount of variable consideration to be recognized represents the sum of probability weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts, and (b) the most likely amount method, whereby the amount of variable consideration to be recognized represents the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts. When applying these methods, the Company considers all information that is reasonably available, including historical, current and estimates of future performance. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable, in the Company’s judgment, that a significant future reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This threshold is referred to as the variable consideration constraint. In assessing whether to apply the variable consideration constraint, the Company considers if factors exist that could increase the likelihood or the magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue, including, but not limited to, whether: (a) the amount of consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence, such as the actions of third parties, (b) the uncertainty surrounding the amount of consideration is not expected to be resolved for a long period of time, (c) the Company’s experience with similar types of contracts is limited or that experience has limited predictive value, (d) the Company has a practice of either offering a broad range of price concessions or changing the payment terms and conditions of similar contracts in similar circumstances, and (e) the contract has a large number and broad range of possible consideration amounts. Pending change orders represent one of the most common forms of variable consideration included within contract value and typically represent contract modifications for which a change in scope has been authorized or acknowledged by our customer, but the final adjustment to contract price is yet to be negotiated. In estimating the transaction price for pending change orders, the Company considers all relevant facts, including documented correspondence with the customer regarding acknowledgment and/or agreement with the modification, as well as historical experience with the customer or similar contractual circumstances. Based upon this assessment, the Company estimates the transaction price, including whether the variable consideration constraint should be applied. Changes in the estimates of transaction prices are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. Such changes in estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. Such changes in estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the ultimate outcome differs from the Company’s previous estimate. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price. The Company determines the standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation would have been sold separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If the standalone selling price is not observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account all available information such as market conditions and internal pricing guidelines. In certain circumstances, the standalone selling price is determined using an expected profit margin on anticipated costs related to the performance obligation. Recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied The Company recognizes revenue at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to its customers. A good or service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains control. The Company can transfer control of a good or service and satisfy its performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time if one of the following three criteria are met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as we perform, (b) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or (c) the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For our performance obligations satisfied over time, we recognize revenue by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion can be either an input method or an output method and requires judgment based on the nature of the goods or services to be provided. F-25 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Revenue from contracts with customers consist of the following (in millions): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Revenue Infrastructure $ 1,159.7 $ 676.6 Spectrum 42.0 40.3 Life Sciences 3.5 — Total revenue $ 1,205.2 $ 716.9 Accounts receivables, net from contracts with customers consist of the following (in millions): December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Accounts receivables with customers Infrastructure $ 226.8 $ 118.5 Spectrum 9.4 7.3 Life Sciences 0.3 — Total accounts receivables with customers $ 236.5 $ 125.8 Infrastructure Segment DBMG performs its services primarily under fixed-price contracts and recognizes revenue over time using the input method to measure progress for its projects. The nature of the projects does not provide measurable value to the customer over time and control does not transfer to the customer at discrete points in time. The customer receives value over the term of the project based on the amount of work that has been completed towards the delivery of the completed project. The most reliable measure of progress is the cost incurred towards delivery of the completed project. Therefore, the input method provides the most reliable method to measure progress. Revenue recognition begins when work has commenced. Costs include all direct material and labor costs related to contract performance, subcontractor costs, indirect labor, and fabrication plant overhead costs, which are charged to contract costs as incurred. Revenues relating to changes in the scope of a contract are recognized when DBMG and customer or general contractor have agreed on both the scope and price of changes, the work has commenced, it is probable that the costs of the changes will be recovered and that realization of revenue exceeding the costs is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Revisions in estimates during the course of contract work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts requiring the revision become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period a loss on a contract becomes determinable. Payment Terms The timing of customer billings is generally dependent upon advance billing terms, milestone billings based on completion of certain phases of work, or when services are provided. Under the typical payment terms of master and other service agreements and fixed price contracts, the customer makes progress payments based on quantifiable measures of performance by the Company as defined by each specific agreement. Progress payments, generally net of amounts retained, are paid by the customer over the duration of the contract. Amounts billed and due from customers, as well as the amount of contract assets, are generally classified within current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6. Accounts Receivable, net and Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities for related discussion. Amounts expected to be collected beyond one year are classified as other long-term assets. Service Contracts For service contracts (including maintenance contracts) where we have the right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value received by the customer based on our performance to date, revenue is recognized when services are performed and contractually billable. For all other types of service contracts, revenue is recognized over time using the input method to measure progress because it best depicts the transfer of value to the customer. Costs include all direct material and labor costs, subcontractor costs, and allocated overhead costs related to contract performance. Construction contracts with customers generally provide that billings are to be made monthly in amounts which are commensurate with the extent of performance under the contracts. Contract receivables arise principally from the balance of amounts due on progress billings on jobs under construction. Retention on contract receivables are amounts due on progress billings, which are withheld until the completed project has been accepted by the customer. F-26 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Disaggregation of Revenues DBMG's revenues are principally derived from contracts to provide fabrication and erection services to its customers. Contracts represent majority of the revenue of the Infrastructure segment and are generally recognized over time. A majority of contracts are domestic, fixed priced, and are in excess of one year. Disaggregation of the Infrastructure segment, by market or type of customer, is used to evaluate its financial performance. The following table disaggregates DBMG's revenue by market (in millions): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Commercial $ 539.8 $ 217.7 Industrial 292.5 214.9 Convention 85.8 10.6 Government 68.0 65.0 Healthcare 59.8 29.5 Transportation 52.7 72.6 Leisure 23.2 42.8 Other 37.7 22.8 Total revenue from contracts with customers 1,159.5 675.9 Other revenue 0.2 0.7 Total Infrastructure segment revenue $ 1,159.7 $ 676.6 Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from our long-term construction projects when revenue recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress exceed the amounts invoiced to our customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of our contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from our customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements, as well as our contracts to perform turnaround services within the United States industrial services segment, are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets and/or unbilled receivables being recorded, as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Also included in contract assets are amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders or modifications in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and/or price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Our contract assets do not include capitalized costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Retainage for which the Company has an unconditional right to payment that is only subject to the passage of time are classified as accounts receivable. Retainage receivable subject to conditions other than the passage of time, or conditional retainage, do not meet the definition of a receivable and are therefore included in contract assets and contract liabilities, as determined on a contract by contract basis. Contract liabilities from our long-term construction contracts occur when amounts invoiced to our customers exceed revenues recognized. Contract liabilities additionally include advanced payments from our customers on certain contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation. The Company classifies contract assets and liabilities that may be settled beyond one year from the balance sheet date as current, consistent with the length of time of the Company’s project operating cycle. Retainage receivable represents amounts invoiced to customers where payments have been partially withheld (usually less than 10 %) pending the completion of certain milestones, satisfaction of other contractual conditions or the completion of the project. Retainage agreements vary from project to project and balances could be outstanding for several months or years depending on a number of circumstances, such as contract-specific terms, project performance and other variables that may arise as the Company makes progress toward completion. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the amount of retainage receivable estimated by management to be collected beyond one year is approximately 24.6 % and 1.0 % of the balance, respectively. When payment of the retainage is contingent upon the Company fulfilling its obligations under the contract it does not meet the criteria to be included in accounts receivable and remains in the contract’s respective contract assets or contract liability, determined on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company has reflected such amounts within the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. While retainage receivable have historically been presented and disclosed within accounts receivable, the impact to correct this immaterial error in the December 31, 2020 balance sheet resulted in a reduction of previously stated accounts receivable amounting to $ 50.0 million, offset by an increase of $ 31.0 million to current contract assets and a $ 19.0 million reduction to current contract liabilities.

The change in contract liabilities is a result of periodic contract liabilities of $ 72.7 million driven largely by new commercial projects and $ 38.6 million of contract liabilities for projects acquired as a result of the Banker Steel acquisition, offset by revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period in the amount of $ 65.4 million. Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied performance obligations consisted of the following (in millions): Within one year Within five years Total Commercial $ 452.6 $ 502.0 $ 954.6 Industrial 278.9 7.6 286.5 Transportation 21.6 16.1 37.7 Government 26.9 — 26.9 Leisure 17.1 — 17.1 Healthcare 85.6 — 85.6 Convention 109.3 40.0 149.3 Other 8.0 — 8.0 Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations $ 1,000.0 $ 565.7 $ 1,565.7 DBMG's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations, otherwise referred to as backlog, increase with awards of new contracts and decrease as it performs work and recognizes revenue on existing contracts. DBMG includes a project within its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations at such time the project is awarded and agreement on contract terms has been reached. DBMG's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include amounts related to contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned when a reasonable estimate of total transaction price can be made. DBMG expects to recognize this revenue over the next twenty four months. Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts. Although many of DBMG's contracts are subject to cancellation at the election of its customers, in accordance with industry practice, DBMG does not limit the amount of unrecognized revenue included within its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations due to the inherent substantial economic penalty that would be incurred by its customers upon cancellation. F-28 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Life Sciences Segment Beginning in 2021, R2 Technologies commercially launched its first systems product, the GlacialRx, and other topical consumables. The GlacialRx system is primarily sold to dermatologist offices for an initial upfront fee. Software on the device controls the number of times the device may be used to perform a treatment. The initial upfront fee entitles the user to a defined number of uses. After the initial prepurchased uses are exhausted, the dermatologist office can purchase additional uses of the treatment for an additional fee, resulting in recurring revenues to R2 Technologies as the devices are utilized. Further, topical consumables are also separately sold to dermatologist offices which patients can utilize post-treatment to increase the efficacy of the treatment. The following table disaggregates the Life Sciences segment's revenue by type (in millions): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Systems and consumables revenue $ 3.5 $ — Total Life Sciences segment revenue $ 3.5 $ — Spectrum Segment Network advertising revenue is generated primarily from the sale of television airtime for programs or advertisements. Network advertising revenue is recognized when the program or advertisement is broadcast. Revenues are reported net of agency commissions, which are calculated as a stated percentage applied to gross billings. The Network advertising contracts are generally short-term in nature. Network distribution revenue consists of payments received from cable, satellite and other multiple video program distribution systems for their retransmission of our network content. Network distribution revenue is recognized as earned over the life of the retransmission consent contract and varies from month to month. Variable fees are usage/sales based, calculated on the average number of subscribers, and recognized as revenue when the usage occurs. Transaction prices are based on the contract terms, with no material judgments or estimates. Broadcast station revenue is generated primarily from the sale of television airtime in return for a fixed fee or a portion of the related ad sales recognized by the third party. In a typical broadcast station revenue agreement, the licensee of a station makes available, for a fee, airtime on its station to a party which supplies content to be broadcast during that airtime and collects revenue from advertising aired during such content. Broadcast station revenue is recognized over the life of the contract, when the program is broadcast. The fees that we charge can be fixed or variable and the contracts that the Company enters into are generally short-term in nature. Variable fees are usage/sales-based and recognized as revenue when the subsequent usage occurs. Transaction prices are based on the contract terms, with no material judgments or estimates. Payment Terms We have an unconditional right to receive payment of the amount billed generally within 30 days of the invoice date. Payment terms are expressly stated in our standard terms and conditions. The invoiced amount to be received is recorded in accounts receivable on our balance sheet. Disaggregation of Revenues The following table disaggregates the Spectrum segment's revenue by type (in millions): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Broadcast station $ 18.6 $ 15.5 Network advertising 18.1 18.4 Network distribution 3.2 4.0 Other 2.1 2.4 Total Spectrum segment revenue $ 42.0 $ 40.3 Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied performance obligations consisted of $ 0.3 million, $ 4.3 million, and $ 0.1 million of network advertising, broadcasting station revenues, and other revenues, respectively, of which $ 3.3 million is expected to be recognized within one year and $ 1.4 million is expected to be recognized within five years . 5. Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Deconsolidations Infrastructure Segment F-29 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Banker Steel Acquisition On March 15, 2021, the Company announced that DBMG entered into an agreement to acquire 100 % of Banker Steel Holdco LLC ("Banker Steel") for $ 145.0 million, which closed on May 27, 2021. The acquisition was financed with $ 64.1 million from a partial draw on a new $ 110.0 million revolving credit facility, $ 49.6 million of sellers' notes, $ 6.3 million of assumed debt of Banker Steel, and $ 25.0 million in cash received from INNOVATE in the settlement of certain intercompany balances. Banker Steel provides full-service fabricated structural steel and erection services primarily for the East Coast and Southeast commercial and industrial construction market, in addition to full design-assist services. Banker Steel consists of six operating companies: Banker Steel Co., LLC; NYC Constructors, LLC; Memco LLC; Derr & Isbell Construction LLC; Innovative Detailing and Engineering Solutions; and Lynchburg Freight and Specialty LLC. The transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition and the valuation was finalized in the last quarter of 2021. The allocation of the fair value of consideration transferred among the identified assets acquired, liabilities assumed, intangibles and residual goodwill is summarized as follows (in millions): Purchase Consideration at Fair Value Partial draw on new $ 110.0 million revolving credit facility $ 64.1 Sellers' notes 49.6 Bankers Steel debt - assumed 6.3 Cash 25.0 Gross consideration 145.0 Less: Seller transaction costs - assumed 0.4 Less: Bankers debt - assumed 6.3 Less: R&W premium paid by seller 0.5 Net consideration $ 137.8 Cash and cash equivalents $ 9.3 Accounts receivable, net 70.9 Contract assets 22.6 Assets held for sale 0.7 Inventory 5.7 Other current assets 1.7 Property, plant, and equipment, net 58.6 Other assets 40.1 Intangibles, net 60.8 Goodwill 16.7 Total assets to be acquired 287.1 Accounts Payable 39.1 Contract liabilities 38.6 Other current liabilities 31.1 Other liabilities 34.2 Long-term debt, less current portion 6.3 Total liabilities to be assumed 149.3 Total net assets acquired $ 137.8 During the 2021 measurement period, adjustments to our acquisition accounting were made to certain amounts. These include updates to accounts receivable based on additional information obtained regarding collectability, values assigned to intangible assets, and additional accrued liabilities. As such, the valuation was finalized during the fourth quarter of 2021. Goodwill was determined based on the residual differences between fair value of consideration transferred and the value assigned to acquired assets and liabilities. Among the factors that contributed to goodwill was approximately $ 60.8 million assigned to intangibles, including customer relationships of $ 33.8 million with a useful life of 18 years, trade names of $ 7.4 million with a useful life of 15 years, existing customer contracts of $ 17.6 million with a useful life of 2 years and leasehold interests of $ 2.0 million with varying useful life. Goodwill is not amortized. The portion of goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes is $ 14.0 million. F-30 INNOVATE CORP.

The extraordinary dividend was approved by our domestic regulator in connection with the approval of the sale. The amount included in AOCI was reversed from equity at the time of the sale and offset the loss recognized. While several factors impacted the fair value of the Insurance segment at the end of 2019, following discussions with our domestic regulator, changes in the asset management fee arrangement and expectations of future dividends primarily and ultimately resulted in the full impairment of the goodwill associated with the Insurance segment during the year ended December 31, 2019. While these factors did not have a major impact on the operations of the stand-alone business, they did have a significant impact on the economic benefit that could be realized by the Company. As a result of the factors described above, combined with the risks associated with the long-term care insurance industry, the Company exited the segment and sold the business resulting in a $ 200.8 million loss on the sale of CIG.

Goodwill and Intangibles, net On an annual basis, the Company performs its goodwill impairment review in accordance with ASC 350. Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires various assumptions including projections of future cash flows, perpetual growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s assessment of a number of factors, including the reporting unit’s recent performance against budget, performance in the market that the reporting unit serves, and industry and general economic data from third-party sources. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in those future cash flows. Changes to the underlying businesses could affect the future cash flows, which in turn could affect the fair value of the reporting unit. After considering all quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company has determined that, other than noted below, it is more likely than not that the reporting units' fair values exceed carrying values as of the period end. The Company reports goodwill impairment charges within the Asset impairment expense line of our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on each of the reporting units. Further, the Company assessed the current market capitalization, forecasts and the amount of headroom in the 2021 impairment test. Spectrum As a result of the goodwill assessment, the Company determined that COVID-19's impact to the Spectrum segment in the first quarter of 2020 was a “triggering event” and, as required, performed a quantitative analysis, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, of the value of the Spectrum reporting unit and its indefinite-lived intangible assets. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of the Spectrum reporting unit and the related indefinite-lived intangible assets continue to exceed their carrying values and were not impaired as of March 31, 2020. F-33 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Determining the fair value of the Spectrum reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible assets requires significant judgment and estimates by management, utilizing the income-approach, which utilizes several key inputs, including future cash flows consistent with management’s strategic plans, sales growth rates and a discount rate, amongst others. Estimating sales growth rates requires significant judgment by management in areas such as future economic conditions, growth rates, pricing, and consumer tastes and preferences. Given the inherent uncertainties in estimating the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on global macroeconomic conditions and interest rates in general and on the Spectrum business, actual results may differ from management’s current estimates and could have an adverse impact on one or more of the assumptions used in our quantitative models related to the Spectrum reporting unit, resulting in potential impairment charges in subsequent periods. At March 31, 2020, while the fair value of the Spectrum reporting unit declined, the fair value of the Spectrum reporting unit continued to exceed its carrying value. At December 31, 2021 and at December 31, 2020, the Company further reviewed qualitative factors of potential impairment for Goodwill and Intangible assets, inclusive of further impact of COVID-19, and there were no triggering events which would indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill by segment was as follows (in millions): Infrastructure Spectrum Total Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 89.6 $ 21.4 $ 111.0 Acquisitions 16.7 — 16.7 Translation ( 0.3 ) — ( 0.3 ) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 106.0 $ 21.4 $ 127.4 Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets The carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets was as follows (in millions): December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 FCC licenses $ 106.5 $ 113.0 Total $ 106.5 $ 113.0 For the year ended December 31, 2021, FCC licenses decreased $ 6.5 million predominantly as a result of our Spectrum segment selling non-core FCC licenses. In addition, for the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 0.7 million and $ 13.5 million, respectively, in Other operating loss (gain) related to select FCC licenses which were sold in order to bring their carrying value equal to the agreed upon sales price prior to the execution of the sale. The weighted-average period prior to the next renewal for FCC licenses was 3.0 years and 2.4 years as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, after taking into consideration licenses that were successfully renewed shortly after year-end. While broadcast television licenses are issued for a fixed period of time (generally eight years), renewals of these licenses have occurred routinely and at nominal cost. In addition, the Company does not believe that the expiration or non-renewal of any of our FCC licenses would have a material adverse effect on the expected future cash flows and profitability.

The remaining $ 42.5 million, 10.50 % tranche (the “ 10.50 % Note”) was a modification of the existing Secured Note, with certain institutional investors. The 2020 Notes had an original maturity date of October 2020, and were amended multiple times during 2020 as further described below. The net proceeds from the financing were used to retire Broadcasting’s existing debt, as well as fund pending acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection with the issuance of the 10.50 % Note due 2020, Spectrum issued warrants to the same institutional investors to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $ 176.4 per share for a total purchase price of $ 8.8 million, or net settled, if exercised as of the issuance date, and as may be adjusted at any future exercise of the warrant pursuant to its terms. The warrant has a five-year term and is immediately exercisable. In February 2020, Spectrum amended its agreement governing its 8.50 % Note funded by MSD Partners, L.P., increasing the principal balance to $ 39.3 million. The proceeds were used to repay principal and interest on existing debt. In August 2020, Spectrum modified its agreement with MSD Partners, L.P. and Great American Life Insurance Company to extend the maturity on its 8.50 % Note and 10.50 % Note to October 2021.

The extinguishment of the 2021 Senior Secured Notes yielded a loss on extinguishment of $ 4.5 million. The extinguishment of the $ 51.8 million of 2022 Convertible Notes yielded a loss on extinguishment of $ 5.5 million, an acceleration of the amortization of discount of $ 5.3 million, and extinguishment of the bifurcated conversion option classified as equity of $ 7.7 million. 2021 Senior Secured Notes The Senior Secured Notes were issued under an indenture dated November 20, 2018, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association ("U.S. Bank"), as trustee (the "Secured Indenture").

The amount recorded primarily relates to tax expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. tax consolidated group 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. F-46 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED The income tax expense was $ 7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020. The amount recorded primarily relates to tax expense incurred in China from the partial sale of HMN and the tax expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities which was 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 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. tax consolidated group and certain other businesses were reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized. Deferred income taxes reflect the net income tax effect of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. Net deferred tax balances are comprised of the following as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in millions): December 31, 2021 2020 Net operating loss carryforwards $ 63.8 $ 77.0 Basis difference in fixed assets 0.7 0.8 Deferred compensation 6.7 6.6 Sec. 163(j) Carryforward 58.1 58.6 Lease liability 20.9 13.0 Other deferred tax assets 13.4 20.5 Total deferred tax assets 163.6 176.5 Valuation Allowance ( 102.8 ) ( 115.5 ) Total net deferred tax assets 60.8 61.0 Basis difference in fixed assets ( 14.1 ) ( 22.1 ) Right of use assets ( 19.8 ) ( 12.1 ) Basis difference in intangibles ( 26.1 ) ( 22.2 ) Other deferred tax liabilities ( 6.9 ) ( 8.6 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 66.9 ) ( 65.0 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ ( 6.1 ) $ ( 4.0 ) Deferred tax assets refer to assets that are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets in essence represent future savings of taxes that would otherwise be paid in cash. The realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income, including capital gains. If it is determined that the deferred tax assets cannot be realized, a valuation allowance must be established, with a corresponding charge to net income. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company establishes valuation allowances for deferred tax assets that, in its judgment are not more likely-than-not realizable. These judgments are based on projections of future income or loss and other positive and negative evidence by individual tax jurisdiction. Changes in industry and economic conditions and the competitive environment may impact these projections. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, during each reporting period the Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be realized and determines if adjustments to its valuation allowances are appropriate. Management evaluated the need to maintain the valuation allowance against the deferred taxes of the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated tax group (“the group”) for each of the reporting periods based on the positive and negative evidence available. The objective negative evidence evaluated was the group’s historical operating results over the prior three-year period. The group is in a cumulative three-year loss as of December 31, 2021 which provide negative evidence that is difficult to overcome and would require a substantial amount of objectively verifiable positive evidence of future income to support the realizability of the group’s deferred tax assets. While positive evidence exists by way of unrealized gains in the Company’s investments, management concluded that the negative evidence now outweighs the positive evidence. Thus, it is more likely than not that the group’s US deferred tax assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances have been maintained against deferred tax assets based on losses generated by certain businesses that do not qualify to be included in the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return. At December 31, 2021, the Company has gross U.S. net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of the U.S. consolidated group in the amount of $ 164.5 million. The Company expects that approximately $ 95.7 million of the gross U.S. net operating loss carryforwards would be available to offset taxable income in 2022. This estimate may change based on changes to actual results reported on the 2021 U.S. tax return. The amount of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards reflected in the financial statements differ from the amounts reported on the U.S. tax return due to uncertain tax positions related to tax laws and regulations that are subject to varied interpretation by the IRS. Additionally, the Company has $ 103.6 million of gross U.S. net operating loss carryforwards from its subsidiaries that do not qualify to be included in the INNOVATE Corp. U.S. consolidated income tax return, including $ 66.2 million from R2, $ 33.1 million from DTV America, and other entities of $ 4.3 million. F-47 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Due to U.S. enacted Public Law 115-97, known informally as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") in 2017, U.S. net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $ 58.1 million, generated after 2017 have an indefinite carryforward period. U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, in the amount of $ 106.4 million, generated prior to 2018 will expire, if unused, by 2037. Pursuant to the rules under Section 382, the Company believes that it underwent an ownership changes on May 29, 2014 and $ 46.1 million gross U.S. net operating losses recorded in the consolidated financial statements are subject to an annual limitation under IRC Sec. 382 of approximately $ 2.3 million. On November 4, 2015, INNOVATE issued 8.5 million shares of its stock in a primary offering. The Company believes the issuance resulted in a Section 382 ownership change and $ 31.7 million gross U.S. net operating losses recorded in the consolidated financial statements are subject to IRC Sec. 382. The purchase of GrayWolf Industrial on November 30, 2018 triggered a Section 382 ownership change. $ 57.1 million of federal net operating losses acquired are subject to an annual limitation between $ 3.0 million and $ 4.0 million for the first five years beginning in 2019 and $ 1.1 million afterwards. $ 25.4 million of the GrayWolf U.S. net operating losses subject to Section 382 were generated in 2018, and, therefore, they do not expire. Additionally, the Company has $ 11.4 million of acquired U.S. net operating losses from DTV America, which is subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had foreign operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 2.5 million. The Company follows the provision of ASC 740 which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as regulatory taxes . The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 related to uncertain tax positions that would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. The company has reduced the net operating loss carryforward by $ 58.7 million for uncertain tax positions based on our interpretation of tax laws and regulations that are subject to varied interpretation by the IRS. Below is a tabular reconciliation of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (in millions): December 31, 2021 2020 Uncertain tax benefits - January 1 $ 22.9 $ — Gross increases - Tax positions in prior period — — Gross decreases - Tax positions in prior period ( 5.3 ) — Gross increases - Tax positions in current period — 22.9 Settlement — — Lapse in statute of limitations — — Uncertain tax benefits - December 31 $ 17.6 $ 22.9 The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, INNOVATE or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Tax years 2002-2020 remain open for examination. The Company is currently under examination in various domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits, there is a risk that disputes may arise. F-48 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED 13.

The amounts are fixed and determinable and do not include variable components. Litigation The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for its Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Any legal or other expenses associated with the litigation are accrued for as the expenses are incurred. Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances with counsel in each of the matters disclosed, management has provided for what is believed to be a reasonable estimate of loss exposure. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate outcome of litigation will not have a material effect on its financial position and will defend itself vigorously. VAT assessment On February 20, 2017, and on August 15, 2017, the Company's subsidiary, PTGi International Carrier Services Ltd. (“PTGi-ICS Ltd”), received notices from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs office in the U.K. (the "HMRC") indicating that it was required to pay certain Value-Added Taxes ("VAT") for the 2015 and 2016 tax years. On February 15, 2022, the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery) Chamber (the "Tax Tribunal") found in favor of PTGi-ICS Ltd. HMRC has acknowledged that it will not appeal the Tax Tribunal’s decision and it must pay reasonable legal fees incurred by PTGi-ICS Ltd.

In the FVI Action, FVI alleges that the Company, in its capacity as DBMG’s controlling stockholder, and DBMG’s current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to DBMG and DBMG’s minority stockholders by approving certain transactions that allegedly provide disproportionate benefits to the Company. FVI challenges the following transactions: (i) DBMG’s payments to the Company from 2016–present pursuant to a Tax Sharing Agreement between DBMG and the Company; (ii) DBMG acting as a guarantor or providing collateral for loans taken on by the Company; (iii) DBMG’s issuance of dividends to its common and preferred stockholders in 2017–2020; (iv) DBMG’s issuance of preferred stock to the Company to finance DBMG’s 2018 acquisition of GrayWolf Industrial; and (v) the Company’s appointment of directors to DBMG’s board of directors by written consent in lieu of holding an annual stockholder meeting. On February 23, 2021, FVI filed an Amended Verified Stockholder Class Action Complaint (the "Amended Complaint"). In the Amended Complaint, FVI named two additional defendants: the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Wayne Barr, and DBMG’s General Counsel, Scott D. Sherman. The Amended Complaint includes additional fact allegations in support of the largely similar claims raised in the original complaint. Defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint on April 23, 2021. The Court heard argument on the motions to dismiss on January 21, 2022. Ruling from the bench, the Court granted Defendants’ motions to dismiss, in part. The Court dismissed all claims against all individual defendants other than Ronald Yagoda, including all claims against AJ Stahl, Kenneth S. Courtis, Robert V. Leffler, Jr., Philip A. Falcone, Michael J. Sena, and Paul Voigt. As to the two remaining defendants—INNOVATE Corp. and Ronald Yagoda—the Court dismissed all claims regarding (i) DBMG acting as a guarantor or providing collateral for loans taken on by the Company; (ii) DBMG’s issuance of dividends to its common and preferred stockholders in 2017–2020; (iii) the Company’s appointment of directors to DBMG’s board of directors by written consent in lieu of holding an annual stockholder meeting; and (iv) DBMG’s payments to the Company in 2016 and May 2017 pursuant to a Tax Sharing Agreement between DBMG and the Company. The Company believes the surviving claims in the FVI Amended Complaint relating to (i) DBMG’s payments to the Company after May 2017 pursuant to a Tax Sharing Agreement between DBMG and the Company and (ii) DBMG’s issuance of preferred stock to the Company to finance DBMG’s 2018 acquisition of GrayWolf Industrial are without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously defend this litigation. DTV Derivative Litigation On March 15, 2021, twenty-two DTV stockholders and eight holders of DTV stock options filed a stockholder class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery in an action styled Bocock, et al., v. HC2 Holdings, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 2021-0224 (Del. Ch.). Plaintiffs named as defendants INNOVATE Corp. (f/k/a HC2 Holdings, Inc.), HC2 Broadcasting Holdings, Inc., HC2 Broadcasting Inc., and Continental General Insurance Corporation (the “INNOVATE Entities”) and certain current and former officers and directors of the INNOVATE Entities and DTV, including Phillip Falcone, Michael Sena, Wayne Barr, Jr., Les Levi, Paul Voigt, Ivan Minkov, and Paul Robinson (the “Individual Defendants”). Plaintiffs principally allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and/or aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty by participating in a “scheme” in which the INNOVATE Entities (i) acquired majority voting and operating control over DTV; (ii) exploited that control to misappropriate DTV’s assets and business opportunities for the benefit of the INNOVATE Entities; and (iii) purchased DTV stock at a discount to fair value and diminished the value of DTV stock options. Plaintiffs allege that the Individual Defendants (i) “prompted” the INNOVATE Entities to purchase more than 100 low-power television (“LPTV”) broadcast stations originally identified for potential acquisition by DTV, (ii) allowed the INNOVATE Entities to misappropriate DTV technology, known as “DTV Cast,” (iii) caused DTV to transfer unspecified LPTV broadcasting station licenses to INNOVATE affiliates “without paying any value,” and (iv) transferred to the INNOVATE Entities unspecified DTV broadcasting stations that had been “repacked” by the FCC. Defendants moved to dismiss the Complaint on May 19, 2021. On June 23, 2021, plaintiffs amended their complaint. In the amended complaint, plaintiffs assert the same claims they asserted in their initial complaint, added a claim for waste associated with DTV’s purported transfer of licenses and construction permits for less than fair value, and dropped Paul Robinson as a defendant. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety on August 25, 2021, and the parties completed briefing on the motions to dismiss on November 10, 2021. The Court will hear argument on the motions to dismiss on March 29, 2022. The Company believes the allegations in the amended complaint are without merit and the INNOVATE-related defendants intend to move to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company intends to vigorously defend this litigation. Separation from Philip A. Falcone The Company has engaged in ongoing negotiations with Philip A. Falcone, the former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, regarding his separation. On December 18, 2020, Mr. Falcone filed a demand for arbitration against the Company with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The Company filed its Answering Statement and Counterclaims with the AAA on March 5, 2021. The Company contends that the claims in Mr. Falcone’s demand are without merit and that the Company has both factual and legal defenses. Mr. Falcone filed his Answer to the Company’s Counterclaims on March 19, 2021. The Company and Mr. Falcone mediated on July 14, 2021, and on July 19, 2021, both the Company and Mr. Falcone accepted the mediator’s proposal, and the Company has reserved for an amount consistent with the mediator’s proposal. The parties executed an agreement on January 31, 2022 memorializing the terms of their settlement. The Company paid the settlement amount in February 2022 in accordance with the agreement except for a portion of the amount that will be paid following court approval. The settlement reached was consistent with the amount accrued for. F-50 INNOVATE CORP.

Share-based Compensation On April 11, 2014, INNOVATE’s Board of Directors adopted the INNOVATE Corp. Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "2014 Plan"), which was originally approved at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 12, 2014. On April 21, 2017, the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, adopted the Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Restated 2014 Plan"). The Restated 2014 Plan was approved by INNOVATE's stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 14, 2017. Subject to adjustment as provided in the Restated 2014 Plan, the Restated 2014 Plan authorizes the issuance of 3,500,000 shares of common stock of INNOVATE, plus any shares that again become available for awards under the 2014 Plan, plus any shares that again become available for awards under the Restated 2014 Plan. On April 20, 2018, the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, adopted the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Second A&R 2014 Plan"). The Second A&R 2014 Plan was approved by INNOVATE's stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 13, 2018. Subject to adjustment as provided in the Second A&R 2014 Plan, the Second A&R 2014 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock of INNOVATE plus any shares that again become available for awards under the 2014 Plan or the Amended 2014 Plan. The Second A&R 2014 Plan provides that no further awards will be granted pursuant to the Amended 2014 Plan. However, awards previously granted under either the 2014 Plan or the Amended 2014 Plan will continue to be subject to and governed by the terms of the 2014 Plan and Amended 2014 Plan, respectively. The Compensation Committee of INNOVATE's Board of Directors administers the 2014 Plan, the Amended 2014 Plan and the Second A&R 2014 Plan and has broad authority to administer, construe and interpret the plans. The Second A&R 2014 Plan provides for the grant of awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock based awards, performance compensation awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing. The Company typically issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, as opposed to using treasury shares. The Company follows guidance which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions whereby an entity receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The guidance generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method and share-based compensation expense be recorded, based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the guidance, for all new and unvested stock awards that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered. The Company granted zero and 143,096 options during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted was $ 1.47 per option. Year Ended December 31, 2020 Expected option life (in years) 4.3 years Risk-free interest rate 0.24 % Expected volatility 62.23 % Dividend yield — % Total share-based compensation expense recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries under all equity compensation arrangements was $ 2.4 million and $ 3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. All grants are time based and vest either immediately or over a period established at grant, typically with a requisite service period of two to three years for the employee to vest in the stock-based award, subject to discretion by Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. There are no other substantive conditions for vesting. The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity awards, reduced by actual forfeitures, using the straight-line basis. The Company was authorized to issue approximately 2.2 million and 4.8 million shares for awards for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. F-51 INNOVATE CORP.

Equity Rights Offering On September 9, 2020, INNOVATE announced its intention to commence a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), pursuant to which each holder of its outstanding common stock and participating preferred stock would receive transferable subscription rights entitling such stockholder to purchase shares of INNOVATE’s common stock at a subscription price equal to $ 2.27 per share based on the last sale price for our common stock on the trading day prior to September 9, 2020. F-52 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED On the same date, INNOVATE entered into an investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") with Lancer Capital LLC ("Lancer Capital"), an investment fund led by Avram Glazer, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, pursuant to which Lancer Capital agreed to purchase up to $ 35.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below) in connection with the Rights Offering based on subscription participation of common shareholders (the "Backstop Commitment"). The Investment Agreement provides for an advance of up to $ 10.0 million of the Backstop Commitment at the option of the Company. On September 17, 2020, Lancer Capital funded $ 5.56 million, receiving 5,560 shares of Series B Preferred stock. The Investment Agreement provides that, to the extent that Lancer Capital is precluded by applicable rules and regulations (including those of the NYSE, the Texas Department of Insurance and any other applicable regulators) from purchasing common stock by exercising rights received in the Rights Offering, Lancer Capital will purchase additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock (in excess of any Initial Funding amount) equivalent to its allocable participation right. The Investment Agreement also restricts Lancer Capital from purchasing or otherwise acquiring any other rights we issue in the Rights Offering. Lancer Capital did not receive any compensation or other consideration for entering into or consummating the Investment Agreement. The Backstop Commitment is defined as a financial instrument and measurable at fair value on each reporting period. INNOVATE used both market observable inputs and unobservable data to derive the fair value as of the reporting date. The Backstop Commitment was classified as Level 3. Fair value for the Backstop Commitment as of September 30, 2020, was zero . The Backstop Commitment ceased upon the consummation of the Rights Offering. On November 20, 2020, INNOVATE's stockholders voted to approve (i) an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 160,000,000 shares and (ii) the conversion of up to 35,000 shares of Series B preferred stock of the Company in connection with the Company’s Rights Offering.

("Corrib"), then a holder of 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and certain investment entities managed by Luxor Capital Group, LP ("Luxor"), that together then held 9,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. In conjunction with the conversions, the Company agreed to provide the following two forms of additional consideration for as long as the Preferred Stock remained entitled to receive dividend payments (the "Additional Share Consideration"): F-53 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED • The Company agreed that in the event that Corrib and Luxor would have been entitled to any Participating Dividends payable, had they not converted the Preferred Stock (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation), after the date of their Preferred Share conversion, then the Company will issue to Corrib and Luxor, on the date such Participating Dividends become payable by the Company, in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the number of shares of common stock equal to (a) the value of the Participating Dividends Corrib or Luxor would have received pursuant to Sections (2)(c) and (2)(d) of the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificates of Designation, divided by (b) the Thirty Day VWAP (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificates of Designation) for the period ending two business days prior to the underlying event or transaction that would have entitled Corrib or Luxor to such Participating Dividend had Corrib’s or Luxor’s Preferred Stock remain unconverted. • The Company agreed that it will issue to Corrib and Luxor, on each quarterly anniversary commencing May 29, 2017 (or, if later, the date on which the corresponding dividend payment is made to the holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock), through and until the Maturity Date (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificates of Designation), in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the number of shares of common stock equal to (a) 1.875 % the Accrued Value (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificates of Designation) of Corrib’s or Luxor’s Preferred Stock as of the Closing Date (as defined in applicable Voluntary Conversion Agreements) divided by (b) the Thirty Day VWAP (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) for the period ending two business days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation). For the year ended December 31, 2021, 119,784 and 13,477 shares of the Company's common stock have been issued to Luxor and Corrib, respectively, in conjunction with the conversion agreements. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 278,194 and 31,379 shares of the Company's common stock have been issued to Luxor and Corrib, respectively, in conjunction with the conversion agreements. The fair value of the Additional Share Consideration for the year ended December 31, 2021 was valued by the Company at $ 0.3 million and for the year ended December 31, 2020 was valued by the Company at $ 0.8 million on the date of issuance and was recorded within Preferred stock and deemed dividends from conversion line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a deemed dividend. On May 29, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Additional Share Consideration, the final Participating Dividend payments were made to Luxor and Corrib. Redemption and Conversion of Series A and A-2 Shares On May 29, 2021, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, holders of the Series A and A-2 Preferred Stock caused the Company to redeem the Series A and A-2 Preferred Stock at the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A and A-2 Preferred Stock), of which $ 10.4 million was paid in cash to holders of the Series A and A-2 Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A and A-2 Preferred Stock that was not so redeemed was automatically converted into shares of common stock at the conversion price then in effect, of which 50,410 shares of the Company's common stock were issued in lieu of cash to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, CGI, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a letter agreement with the Company to not redeem at maturity or seek redemption of 6,125 shares of the Company's Series A and 10,000 shares of the Company's Series A-2 Preferred Stock with a combined redemption value of $ 16.1 million with a current fair value as of December 31, 2021 of $ 18.8 million. Series A-3 and A-4 Share Issuance and Conversion On July 1, 2021 (the "Exchange Date") and as a part of the sale of CIG, INNOVATE entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the now deconsolidated CGIC, who held the remaining shares of the Series A and Series A-2 Preferred Stock. Per the Exchange Agreement, INNOVATE exchanged the Series A and Series A-2 shares that CGIC held for an equivalent number of Series A-3 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A-3") and Series A-4 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A-4"), respectively. The terms remained substantially the same, except that the Series A-3 and Series A-4 will mature on July 1, 2026. A cash payment of $ 0.3 million was made as a part of the exchange for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A and Series A-2 being exchanged. Upon issuance of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on July 1, 2021, the Series A-3 and Series A-4 have been classified as temporary equity in the Company's Balance Sheet. Dividends. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock accrues a cumulative quarterly cash dividend at an annualized rate of 7.50 %. The accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock will accrete quarterly at an annualized rate of 4.00 % that is reduced to 2.00 % or 0.0 % if the Company achieves specified rates of growth measured by increases in its net asset value; provided, that the accreting dividend rate will be 7.25 % in the event that (A) the daily volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock is less than a certain threshold amount, (B) the Company's common stock is not registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (C) the Company's common stock is not listed on certain national securities exchanges or the Company is delinquent in the payment of any cash dividends. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock is also entitled to participate in cash and in-kind distributions to holders of shares of Company's common stock on an as-converted basis. F-54 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Subsequent Measurement. The Company has elected to account for the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock by immediately recognizing changes in the redemption value as they occur. The carrying value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock will be adjusted to equal what the redemption amount would be as if the redemption were to occur at the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock. Any cash dividends paid will directly reduce the carrying value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock until the carrying value equals the redemption value. The Company has a history of paying dividends on its preferred stock and expects to continue to pay such dividends each quarter. Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 may be converted by the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at any time based on the then-applicable Conversion Price. Each share of Series A-3 is initially convertible at a conversion price of $ 4.25 (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the "Series A-3 Conversion Price"), and each share of Series A-4 is initially convertible at a conversion price of $ 8.25 (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the "Series A-4 Conversion Price") (“collectively the “Conversion Prices”). The Conversion Prices are subject to adjustment for dividends, certain distributions, stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers, recapitalizations and similar events, as well as in connection with issuances of equity or equity-linked or other comparable securities by the Company at a price per share (or with a conversion or exercise price or effective issue price) that is below the Conversion Prices’ (which adjustment shall be made on a weighted average basis). Actual conversion prices at the time of the exchange were $ 3.52 for the Series A and $ 5.33 for the Series A-2. Redemption by the Holder / Automatic Conversion. On July 1, 2026, holders of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem the Series A-3 and Series A-4 at the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4). Each share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 that is not so redeemed will be automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. Upon a change of control (as defined in each Certificate of Designation) holders of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem their shares of Series A-3 and Series A-4 at a price per share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 equal to the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock), and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 were converted into shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the change of control. Redemption by the Company / "Company Call Option". At any time after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company may redeem the Series A-3/Series A-4, in whole but not in part, at a price per share generally equal to 150 % of the accrued value per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of the Series A-3/Series A-4), subject to the holder's right to convert prior to such redemption. Forced Conversion . The Company may force conversion of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 into shares of the Company's common stock if the common stock's thirty-day VWAP exceeds 150 % of the then-applicable Conversion Price and the Common Stock’s daily VWAP exceeds 150 % of the then-applicable Conversion Price for at least twenty trading days out of the thirty trading day period used to calculate the thirty-day VWAP. In the event of a forced conversion, the holders of Series A-3 and Series A-4 will have the ability to elect cash settlement in lieu of conversion if certain market liquidity thresholds for the Company's common stock are not achieved. Liquidation Preference . In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (any such event, a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series A-3 and Series A-4 will be entitled to receive per share the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4), and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Series A-4 and Series A-4 were converted into shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to such occurrence. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 will rank junior to any existing or future indebtedness but senior to the Company's common stock and any future equity securities other than any future senior or pari passu preferred stock issued in compliance with each Certificate of Designation. The Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock rank at parity. Voting Rights. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of the shares of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis), as applicable, and the holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company's common stock with the holders of New Preferred Stock on certain matters, and separately as a class on certain limited matters. Consent Rights. For so long as any of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 is outstanding, consent of the holders of shares representing at least 75 % of certain of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 then outstanding is required for certain material actions. Participation Rights. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements entered into with the initial purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, subject to meeting certain ownership thresholds, certain purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock are entitled to participate, on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their ownership percentage, determined on an as-converted basis, in issuances of equity and equity linked securities by the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Preferred Share Dividends During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, INNOVATE's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared cash dividends with respect to INNOVATE’s issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, excluding the Series A and Series A-2 Preferred Stock which was owned by CGIC and was eliminated in consolidation prior to the sale of the Insurance segment on July 1, 2021, as presented in the following table (in millions): 2021 Declaration Date March 31, 2021 May 29, 2021 September 30, 2021 December 31, 2021 Holders of Record Date March 31, 2021 May 29, 2021 September 30, 2021 December 31, 2021 Payment Date April 15, 2021 June 4, 2021 October 15, 2021 January 15, 2022 Total Dividend $ 0.2 $ 0.1 $ 0.3 $ 0.3 2020 Declaration Date March 31, 2020 June 30, 2020 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2020 Holders of Record Date March 31, 2020 June 30, 2020 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2020 Payment Date April 15, 2020 July 15, 2020 October 15, 2020 January 15, 2021 Total Dividend $ 0.2 $ 0.2 $ 0.2 $ 0.2 DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock Issuance On November 30, 2018, CGIC purchased 40,000 shares of DBMGi's Series A Preferred Stock, which was eliminated in consolidation. On July 1, 2021, as a part of the sale of CIG which results in the deconsolidation of the entity, INNOVATE was deemed to have issued $ 40.9 million of DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock to the now deconsolidated CGIC. Upon issuance of the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock on July 1, 2021, the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as temporary equity in the Company's Balance Sheet. Redemption Option . The DBMGi Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, or at any time or by the holder prior to July 2026. Dividends. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock will accrue a cumulative quarterly cash or payment in kind dividend at a rate of (a) for the first five years following the date of issuance, (i) 9.00 % per annum if dividends are paid in kind or (ii) 8.25 % per annum if dividends are paid in cash and (b) starting on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) plus a spread of 5.85 % (together, the “LIBOR Rate”) per annum, plus 0.75 % if dividends are paid in kind or (ii) the LIBOR Rate per annum in the case of dividends paid in cash. Subsequent Measurement. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock will be subsequently measured each reporting period at its maximum redemption value, which is equal to the stated value plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends as of the end of each reporting period as they are currently redeemable. The Company pays accrued dividends quarterly in cash (with an option to PIK), and there will likely not be any subsequent measurement adjustments recorded to the initial carrying amount. As such no accretion will be recognized until future dividend payments would otherwise reduce the carrying value below its redemption value. In such a case, the Company will adjust the carrying value to its maximum redemption amount. During the year ending December 31, 2021, DBMGi's Board of Directors declared cash dividends with respect to DBMGi’s issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, as presented in the following table (in millions): 2021 Declaration Date September 30, 2021 December 31, 2021 Holders of Record Date September 30, 2021 December 31, 2021 Payment Date October 15, 2021 January 15, 2022 Total Dividend $ 0.8 $ 0.9 F-56 INNOVATE CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED Stockholders’ Rights Agreement On August 30, 2021, the Company entered into a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the “Plan”) with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”), and the Board of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2021 (the “Record Date”). Each Right is governed by the terms of the Plan and entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share (a “Unit”) of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $ 20.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). The Plan is intended to help protect the Company’s ability to use its tax net operating losses and certain other tax assets (“Tax Benefits”) by deterring an “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Code”) . Initially, the Rights will be attached to all common stock certificates representing shares of our common stock then outstanding, and no separate rights certificates (“Rights Certificates”) will be distributed. Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Plan, the Rights will separate from our shares of common stock then outstanding and a distribution date (the “Distribution Date”) will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) has become the beneficial owner of 4.9 % or more of our common stock and (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the Board shall determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the earliest of (i) 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on August 30, 2022 or such later date and time as may be determined by the Board and approved by the stockholders of the Company by a vote of the majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company prior to 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on August 30, 2022 (which later date and time shall be in no event later than 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on August 30, 2024), (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed or exchanged as provided in the Plan, (iii) the time at which the Board determines that the Plan is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of Tax Benefits, and (iv) the close of business on the first day of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Tax Benefits may be carried forward. Unless terminated early, the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan will terminate on August 30, 2022, unless at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting the Company’s stockholders approve an extension of the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, in which case the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan would be extended and expire at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share 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 "if-converted method" as this measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period. The Company had no dilutive common share equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 due to results from continuing operations being a loss, net of tax. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) used in basic and diluted EPS calculations (in millions, except per share amounts): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Loss from continuing operations $ ( 86.3 ) $ ( 53.7 ) Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest 7.8 ( 5.9 ) Loss from continuing operations attributable to the Company ( 78.5 ) ( 59.6 ) Less: Preferred dividends, deemed dividends and repurchase gains 2.2 3.6 F-60 INNOVATE CORP.
