ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Greenidge" or the "Company") owns and operates a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation company. The Company owns and operates facilities in the Town of Torrey, New York (the "New York Facility") and the Town of Columbia, Mississippi (the "Mississippi Facility"), operates a facility under a lease in the Town of Underwood, North Dakota (the "North Dakota Facility") and owned and operated a facility in 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 either exchanged for U.S. dollars or held as a treasury reserve asset pursuant to the Company's bitcoin retention strategy. 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.
