Capital Structure
Greenidge intends to finance its expansion plans with cash on hand, including the proceeds of its recent $55.2 million senior notes offering, as well as operating cash flow. Additional debt and/or equity financing could contribute to further expansion or to the acceleration of the expected timeframe of expansion.
Separately, in response to investor inquiry, the company is providing clarification regarding certain topics pertaining to its Common Equity:
As previously disclosed, in September, Greenidge announced it had entered into an equity purchase agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital, LLC and filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement (the “Equity Purchase S-1”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the equity purchase agreement. The maximum number of shares that Greenidge can sell pursuant to the Equity Purchase S-1 is 3.5 million, which would increase the number of Greenidge’s outstanding shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock from approximately 38.7 million shares as of October 1, 2021, to 42.2 million shares, an increase of 9.0%.
Additionally, Greenidge is clarifying that its controlling shareholder, which consists of certain funds associated with Atlas Holdings LLC (“Atlas Funds”), has not sold any of its shares of Greenidge Common Stock to date. Following Greenidge’s 4:1 stock split in January 2021, Atlas Funds’ holdings of Greenidge Common Stock have remained at approximately 26.8 million shares of Class B Common Stock.
Atlas Funds’ holdings of Greenidge Common Stock are subject to Form 4 filing requirements with the SEC. As such, any sales by Atlas Funds of Greenidge Common Stock are required to be reported on Form 4.
As previously disclosed, LSC is a portfolio company of private investment funds managed by Atlas Holdings LLC.
