Secures $20 Million Committed Equity Facility
to Enhance Financial Flexibility for Execution on Company’s Growth
Roadmap
Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GREE) (“Greenidge”
or the "Company"), a vertically integrated cryptocurrency
datacenter and power generation company, today announced that it
recently implemented a new self-mined bitcoin retention strategy
that enables it to accumulate bitcoin from its owned miners in
order to increase its bitcoin holdings and further drive the
Company’s growth. The new strategy follows recent progress
Greenidge has made reducing its costs while positioning each of its
business lines for sustained growth.
Leveraging the advantages of Greenidge’s internal power
generation capabilities and newly built bitcoin mining sites
replacing third-party operated sites, direct costs for its Bitcoin
mining operations have decreased. With the implementation of this
new strategy, the Company’s liquidity position will continue to be
balanced with additional revenue received from Greenidge’s hosting
business and electricity sales.
Greenidge CEO Jordan Kovler commented: “As we continue to expand
our mining operations across the country, the ability to retain
more of the bitcoin we earn from our self-mining activities is not
just a logical evolution of our strategy but it is one that closely
aligns with our belief in both bitcoin and Greenidge’s long-term
growth prospects. With 122 MW of current total power capability and
approximately 8,000 owned miners in operation across our four
active sites, we have the infrastructure in place to mine bitcoin
at a lower cost than the vast majority of companies accumulating
bitcoin.”
Kovler continued: “We are excited about the opportunities ahead
to continue to expand our operational footprint by locating sites
with the potential for low-cost power expansion and determining the
best utilization of each – bitcoin mining or AI/HPC datacenter
development – in order to benefit the short- and long- term
interests of all stockholders.”
To support Greenidge’s continued growth and expansion, the
Company has also entered into a $20 million common stock purchase
agreement (the “Agreement”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC
(“B. Riley”).
Under the Agreement, B. Riley has committed to purchasing,
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to $20
million of Greenidge Class A common stock (the “common stock”),
with the per share price to be determined based on market prices.
Greenidge is under no obligation to sell its common stock under the
Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the
discretion of Greenidge. The price, amount, and maximum number of
shares of common stock sold per sale will be determined by the
terms of the Agreement.
Christian Mulvihill, Chief Financial Officer of Greenidge,
commented, “Financial flexibility is essential for driving our
expansion strategy as we scale our footprint in attractive markets
and pursue new growth opportunities, including those resulting from
our self-mined bitcoin retention strategy. This committed equity
facility from B. Riley is expected to not only help accelerate
Greenidge’s growth trajectory but also to enhance shareholder value
within a shorter timeframe.”
The issuance of the shares of common stock under the Agreement
with B. Riley will not be registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be issued in
reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof
provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. This press
release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any of the
securities referred to in this press release in any state or
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Further details about the Agreement are included in a Form 8-K
that Greenidge filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”).
