ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESSGreenidge Generation Holdings Inc. ("Greenidge") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") own and operate a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation company. The Company owns and operates facilities at two locations: the Town of Torrey, New York (the "New York Facility") and Spartanburg, South Carolina (the "South Carolina Facility"). The Company generates revenue in U.S. dollars by providing hosting, power and technical support services to third-party owned bitcoin mining equipment and generates revenue in the form of bitcoin by earning bitcoin as rewards and transaction fees for supporting the global bitcoin network with application-specific integrated circuit computers ("ASICs" or "miners") owned by the Company, which may be operated at the Company's sites or at third-party hosting sites through short-term hosting agreements. The earned bitcoin are then exchanged for U.S. dollars. The Company also owns and operates a 106 megawatt ("MW") power facility that is connected to the New York Independent System Operator ("NYISO") power grid. In addition to the electricity used "behind the meter" by the New York datacenter, the Company sells electricity to the NYISO at all times when its power plant is running and increases or decreases the amount of electricity sold based on prevailing prices in the wholesale electricity market and demand for electricity.
