CUSIP No.  42365Q103   SCHEDULE 13D Page 3 of 4

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) to Schedule 13D amends the corresponding items in the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission by Mr. Sokol (the “Reporting Person”) on April 14, 2015, as amended on April 6, 2016 (as amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”), as specifically set forth herein, and except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 2, all other items of the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged in all material respects.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to report that, as a result of the closing of the liquidity transactions (the “Liquidity Transactions”) effected by InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. (“IMP”) as disclosed in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 24, 2016 (the “Current Report”), the Reporting Person, as a limited partner of IMP, received an in-kind pro rata distribution of equity securities of the Issuer (“HMG Equity”) but ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuer’s Class A common stock.  The Reporting Person’s percentage of beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Class A common stock decreased solely due to the conversion of 9,226,420 shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock (including 419,383 Forfeiture Shares (as defined in the Current Report)) into an equal number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock in connection with the Liquidity Transactions, and not due to any disposition of shares of capital stock by the Reporting Person.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows: 

In order to provide liquidity options to its limited partners, IMP offered its limited partners several alternatives with respect to the HMG Equity owned by IMP, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, InterMedia Cine Latino, LLC (“IMCL” and together with IMCL, “IM”).  As a limited partner of IMP, the Reporting Person elected the option to receive an in-kind pro rata distribution of HMG Equity.  At the closing of the Liquidity Transactions, the Report Person received 44,538 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock and 3,300 warrants exercisable for 1,650 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock.  IM retained shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock subject to forfeiture unless the last sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within at least one 30-trading day period before April 4, 2018 (the “Vesting Condition”).  Upon the satisfaction of the Vesting Condition, the Reporting Person will receive his pro rata portion of the Forfeiture Shares held by IM.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows: 

(a) and (b) The Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of 1,052,741 shares of Class A common stock representing approximately 4.8% of the Class A common stock, including 456,553 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock, 3,300 warrants exercisable at any time at the option of the Reporting Person into 1,650 shares of Issuer’s Class A common stock and 550,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options exercisable within 60 days of October 21, 2016.  Percentage ownership is based on 21,607,230 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding as of October 21, 2016, as reported in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 24, 2016. On a fully diluted basis, assuming conversion of all shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, the Reporting Person owns approximately 2.5% of the Issuer’s capital stock.

(c) and (d) Not applicable.

(e) As of October 21, 2016, the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Class A common stock of the Issuer.
