SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 14, 2023, 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:

On November 9, 2023 we closed the Sale of the South Carolina Facility to complete the deleveraging transaction with NYDIG. In exchange for the sale to NYDIG of the upgraded 44 MW South Carolina mining facilities and the subdivided real estate of approximately 22 acres of land, Greenidge received total consideration of approximately $28 million:

◦The Senior Secured Loan with NYDIG with remaining principal of approximately $17.7 million was extinguished;

◦The B Riley Commercial Secured Promissory Note with remaining principal of approximately $4.1 million as of September 30, 2023, which NYDIG purchased from B. Riley Commercial on July 20, 2023 at par was extinguished;

◦A cash payment of approximately $4.5 million, and

◦The Company will also receive bonus payments earned of approximately $1.6 million as a result of the completion of the expansion of the upgraded mining facility and the facility's uptime performance,

which are payable at the completion of the transition services period, which is anticipated to occur in December 2023.

In conjunction with the sale, the Company and NYDIG terminated the South Carolina Hosting Order. As a result, at the time of closing the Company returned NYDIG's security deposit, which are included in other long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2023, resulting in a cash outflow of $2.2 million. Within thirty days of closing, the Company also expects to receive a cash inflow of $3.5 million from the return of its security deposit held by the local utility, which was included in prepaid expenses and other assets as of September 30, 2023.

Additionally, the Company paid the remaining accrued interest on the Senior Secured and Secured Promissory Note of $0.9 million. The Company also settled certain third party transaction costs and Greenidge's share of local taxes of $0.5 million.

Following the completion of the South Carolina Facility sale, the Company continues to own approximately 153 acres of land in South Carolina, and is assessing potential uses of the remaining site, which may include the sale of the property. The NYDIG Hosting Agreements related to the New York Facility were not impacted by this transaction and remain in place.
