Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 15, 2021, the date at which the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and the Company has concluded that no such events or transactions took place that would require disclosure herein except as stated directly below.
Registered Notes Offering
On October 13, 2021, Greenidge completed a registered public offering of $55.2 million of the Company’s 8.50% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in
right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Company received net proceeds after discounts and commissions, but before expenses and payment of the structuring fee, of approximately $53.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes for general corporate purposes, including funding capital expenditures, future acquisitions, investments and working capital and repaying indebtedness.
Purchase of South Carolina Property
In October 2021, a subsidiary of Greenidge entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “LSC Agreement”) with a subsidiary of LSC Communications, Inc.

750,000
square feet of industrial buildings (the “Property”). As previously disclosed, LSC Communications, Inc. is a portfolio company of private investment funds managed by Atlas Holdings LLC. Greenidge’s controlling shareholder consists of certain funds associated with Atlas Holdings LLC.
The purchase price of the Property is $15.0 million (the “Purchase Price”). Under the terms of the LSC Agreement, Greenidge has deposited $2.5 million in escrow, with such amount to be applied at closing to the Purchase Price. The transaction is expected to close in early December 2021. The LSC Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and closing conditions as well as other customary provisions. Greenidge expects to finance the Purchase Price with cash on hand.
