Greenidge Generation Announces Commencement of Cash Tender Offer and Exchange Offer for Senior Notes Due 2026

Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:GREE) ("Greenidge" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation company, today announced the commencement of two separate concurrent offers (collectively, the "Tender/Exchange Offer" or the "Offer") to exchange or to purchase, at the election of each holder, its outstanding 8.50% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Old Notes"), which trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "GREEL," subject to the Cash Payment Limit described below.

The Tender/Exchange Offer consists of the following:

• An offer to exchange (the "Exchange Option") the Old Notes for a new series of 10.00% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "New Notes"), in an amount equal to $11.00 principal amount of New Notes for each $25.00 principal amount of Old Notes exchanged; and,
• An offer to purchase (the "Tender Option") the Old Notes for cash, in an amount equal to $8.50 for each $25.00 principal amount of Old Notes tendered, provided that if the holder elects to tender at or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 (the "Early Tender Date"), then cash in the amount equal to $9.00 (the "Early Tender Premium") for each of the $25.00 principal amount of Old Notes tendered shall be paid. If the cash required to purchase all of the Old Notes tendered under the Tender Option exceeds $3.0 million (the "Cash Payment Limit"), Greenidge will accept the Old Notes tendered for purchase on a pro rata basis.

As of June 16, 2025, the closing price of the Old Notes was $7.98 per Old Note on Nasdaq. The Exchange Option represents a premium of 38% to the closing trading price as of June 16, 2025, a 43% premium to the Old Notes' 30-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") and a 50% premium to the 60-day VWAP as of June 16, 2025. The Early Tender Date option represents a premium of 13% to the closing trading price as of June 16, 2025, a 17% premium to the Old Notes' 30-day VWAP and a 23% premium to the 60-day VWAP as of June 16, 2025. The Tender Option represents a premium of 7% to the closing trading price as of June 16, 2025, an 11% premium to the Old Notes' 30-day VWAP and a 16% premium to the 60-day VWAP as of June 16, 2025. The Company intends to list the New Notes on Nasdaq under the symbol "GREEN."

The maximum aggregate principal amount of Old Notes that may be exchanged and purchased pursuant to the terms of the Tender/Exchange Offer is $58,274,700. The Tender/Exchange Offer is subject to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase/Exchange, the accompanying Letter of Transmittal and the other related offering documents.

Certain information regarding the terms of the Tender/Exchange Offer is summarized in the table below:

The Tender/Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on Thursday, July 17, 2025 (the "Expiration Date"), unless earlier terminated or extended by the Company. Tendered Old Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 (the "Withdrawal Date"), but not thereafter, except in limited circumstances described in the Offer to Purchase/Exchange. Old Notes that are not tendered or that are withdrawn before the Withdrawal Date will remain outstanding.

Only holders validly tendering their Old Notes pursuant to the Tender Option at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Old Notes are accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the Early Tender Premium. Holders validly tendering their Old Notes pursuant to the Tender Option after the Early Tender Date and at or prior to the Expiration Date and whose Old Notes are accepted for purchase will only be eligible to receive the $8.50 for each such Old Note. In the event the Cash Payment Limit is reached as of the Early Tender Date, the Company reserves the right, at its option, not to accept any additional Old Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date pursuant to the Tender Option.

Promptly following the Early Tender Date, whether or not the Tender/Exchange Offer is fully subscribed, the Company may, at its option, accept for purchase Old Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Option, subject to certain adjustments and other terms and conditions of the Offer. In the event that the Company exercises such option and the Cash Payment Limit is reached as of the Early Tender Date, proration shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase/Exchange as of the Early Tender Date. Payment for such accepted Old Notes, if any, will be made promptly following the Early Tender Date (the date of such payment, the "Early Settlement Date") at the Early Tender Premium, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date, on Old Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Option and not withdrawn will be paid in cash. Accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date, on Old Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Option and not withdrawn will be added to the principal amount of the New Notes. Only Old Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Tender/Exchange Offer will be purchased or exchanged in the Tender/Exchange Offer. Old Notes not properly tendered in the Tender/Exchange Offer will be returned to the tendering holders, at the Company's expense, promptly after the expiration of the Tender/Exchange Offer.

Following the completion of the Tender/Exchange Offer, the Company may engage in additional transactions to purchase or repay any Old Notes not tendered in the Tender/Exchange Offer on terms that could be more or less favorable to holders than the terms of the Tender/Exchange Offer and it may issue additional New Notes. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, purchase or retire additional amounts of its outstanding Old Notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for our other securities, in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, or through subsequent tender or exchange offers, repayment at maturity or otherwise, if it can do so on attractive terms. Any such purchases may be made on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to holders than the terms of the Tender/Exchange Offer.

Greenidge is relying on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to exempt the New Notes issued in the Exchange Option portion of the Tender/Exchange Offer from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company is also relying on Section 18(b)(4)(C) of the Securities Act to exempt the New Notes issued in the Exchange Option portion of the Tender/Exchange Offer from the registration and qualification requirements of state securities laws. The Company has no contract, arrangement or understanding relating to, and will not, directly or indirectly, pay any commission or other remuneration to any broker, dealer, salesperson, agent or any other person for soliciting tenders in the Tender/Exchange Offer.
