Senior Secured Loan On March 21, 2022, Greenidge, as guarantor, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries GTX Gen 1 Collateral LLC, GNY Collateral LLC and GSC Collateral LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a Master Equipment Finance Agreement (the "NYDIG Financing Agreement") with NYDIG, as lender, whereby NYDIG agreed to lend to the Borrowers approximately $81 million under loan schedules that were partially funded for approximately $54 million in March 2022, with additional funding of $17 million through December 31, 2022, to finance the acquisition of certain miners and related equipment (the "Financed Equipment"). The Borrowers' obligations under the NYDIG Financing Agreement were fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Greenidge. Outstanding borrowings under the NYDIG Financing Agreement were secured by all assets of the Borrowers, including without limitation, the Financed Equipment and proceeds thereof (including bitcoin). The loan schedules bore interest at a rate of 13% per annum and had terms of 25 months. Certain loan schedules were interest-only for a specified period and otherwise payments on loan schedules included both an interest and principal payment. Pursuant to the terms of the NYDIG Financing Agreement, the Borrowers and with certain exceptions, the Company, were subject to certain covenants and restrictive provisions which, among other things limited: the Borrowers’ ability to incur additional indebtedness for borrowed money; additional liens on the collateral or the equity interests of any of the Borrowers; consolidations or mergers including the Borrowers or the Company unless such would not constitute a Change in Control (as defined therein); disposing of the collateral or any portion of the collateral with certain exceptions; the Borrowers’ ability to make certain restricted payments and investments; and the ability to create certain direct obligations of the Borrowers or the Company unless the NYDIG Financing Agreement is at least pari passu in right of payment; each of which were subject to customary and usual exceptions and baskets. The loans under the NYDIG Financing Agreement could not be voluntarily partially prepaid, but could be prepaid in whole subject to a make-whole calculation. The NYDIG Financing Agreement is denoted in the table above as "Equipment Financings: A - D and F." At December 31, 2022, Greenidge owed a payment of principal and interest in the amount of approximately $1.0 million due on December 25, 2022. Prior to defaulting on any payments, the Company and NYDIG entered into a waiver that stated both parties agreed that failure to pay the December 25, 2022 and the January 10, 2023 payments when due would not be an event of default if payment was made in full by January 27, 2023. On January 30, 2023, the Company concurrently entered into a debt settlement agreement (the "Debt Settlement Agreement"), the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "NYDIG Purchase Agreement"), and a Senior Secured Loan Agreement (the "Senior Secured Loan") with NYDIG in order to refinance and replace certain outstanding indebtedness under certain Master Equipment Financing Agreements and related loan documentation (the "MEFAs"). The $75.8 million in debt previously outstanding under the MEFAs was reduced by $58.5 million pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement and the remaining $17.3 million outstanding under the MEFAs was refinanced. In exchange for this reduction in debt, the Company transferred under the NYDIG Purchase Agreement $50.0 million of bitcoin miners to NYDIG and $8.5 million of miner deposits and coupons that remained accrued to Greenidge for previous purchases of mining equipment with a bitcoin miner manufacturer. As part of the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company entered into the Senior Secured Loan Agreement, as borrower, with NYDIG, as administrative agent and as collateral agent and is denoted in the table above as "Senior Secured Loan". The Company evaluated the amendment under ASC 470-50, "Debt Modification and Extinguishment", and concluded that the updated terms qualified as a debt modification; therefore, no gain or loss was recorded. The initial principal balance under the Secured Loan (the "Refinanced Amount") was approximately $17.3 million. Interest is payable monthly at an interest rate of 15% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30-day months through January 30, 2025. The Secured Loan includes clauses requiring the Company to maintain cash balances in excess of $10 million, and failure to maintain this balance may be considered an event of default by the lender. The Secured Loan contains customary representations, warranties and covenants including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, restricted payments and dividend, investments, asset sales and similar covenants and contains customary events of default. In addition, the Secured Loan allowed for a voluntary prepayment of the loan in kind of approximately $10.2 million by transferring ownership of certain mining infrastructure assets to NYDIG if NYDIG entered into a binding agreement by April 30, 2023, facilitated by Greenidge, securing rights to a site for a future mining facility. The Company was informed on April 30, 2023 that NYDIG would not be entering into the binding agreement for the future mining facility and that portion of the debt remained outstanding, and as a result, accrued interest of approximately $0.4 million was capitalized into the principal balance at April 30, 2023. In order to facilitate the transactions contemplated by a non-binding term sheet associated with the sale of the Company's South Carolina mining site to NYDIG, on August 11, 2023, NYDIG granted a limited waiver (the "Limited Waiver") to the Company with respect to reducing the Company’s minimum cash requirement from $10 million to $6 million and agreed to amend the NYDIG Senior Secured Loan on August 21, 2023 to extend the waiver of the minimum cash requirement as well as to suspend interest and principal payments due under both the NYDIG Senior Loan and the B Riley Commercial Note until the earlier of (i) the completion of the transactions contemplated by the non-binding term sheet, or (ii) December 29, 2023. On November 9, 2023, the Company completed the sale of the South Carolina mining site to NYDIG which resulted in the settlement of the Senior Secured Loan as part of the consideration received in the sale. This settlement resulted in the termination of all liens, mortgages and security interests previously securing the loan, as well as all related covenants. See note 14, Subsequent Events for further details. Secured Promissory Note On March 18, 2022, Greenidge issued a secured promissory note, as borrower, in favor of B. Riley Commercial as noteholder (the "Noteholder"), evidencing a $26.5 million aggregate principal amount loan by B. Riley Commercial to Greenidge (the "Secured Promissory Note"). The Secured Promissory Note is guaranteed by certain of Greenidge’s wholly-owned subsidiaries: Greenidge South Carolina LLC, GSC RE LLC and 300 Jones Road LLC. The loan outstanding under the Secured Promissory Note originally bore interest at a rate of 6% per annum and originally matured on July 20, 2022, subject to up to five 30-day extensions, through December 2022, that could have been e l ected by Greenidge provided no Event of Default (as defined therein) occurred and is continuing and Greenidge pays an Exit Fee (as defined therein) to the B. Riley Commercial. Pursuant to the terms of the Secured Promissory Note, Greenidge and its subsidiaries were subject to certain covenants and restrictive provisions which will, among other things, limit their ability to incur additional indebtedness for borrowed money or additional liens other than debt and liens permitted pursuant to the Secured Promissory Note; consolidate or merge unless Greenidge survives; or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; make certain restricted payments or investments; have a Change of Control (as defined therein); modify certain material agreements; and engage in certain types of transactions with affiliates; each of which are subject to customary and usual exceptions and baskets. The Secured Promissory Note is secured by a first priority mortgage lien on certain real property together with related improvements, fixtures and personal property located at Greenidge's South Carolina Facility. Greenidge’s obligations under the Secured Promissory Note may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalties or fees. On August 10, 2022, Greenidge and B. Riley Commercial agreed to amend the terms of the Secured Promissory Note, by extending the maturity to June 2023, reducing scheduled monthly amortization payments and revising the interest rate to 7.5%. The Exit Fees (as defined therein) associated with the four 30-day extensions subsequent to August 10, 2022, were accelerated and added to the principal balance as of that date. The principal balance following the amendment was $16.4 million as of August 10, 2022. Additionally mandatory repayments of the Secured Promissory Note were revised, such that 65% of the net cash proceeds received from sales of stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement would be paid to B. Riley Commercial to repay the Secured Promissory Note. The Company evaluated the amendment under ASC 470-50, "Debt Modification and Extinguishment", and concluded that the updated terms qualified as a debt modification, and therefore, no gain or loss was recorded. On January 13, 2023, Greenidge and B. Riley Commercial entered into a Waiver and Acknowledgement Letter (the "B Riley Waiver") regarding the terms of the Amended and Restated Bridge Promissory Note dated August 10, 2022 executed by Greenidge in favor of B. Riley Commercial. Under the B Riley Waiver, B. Riley Commercial agreed that Greenidge’s failure to pay the approximately $1.5 million payment of principal and interest due under the BRCC Note on December 20, 2022 would not be an event of default if that payment were made in full by the earlier of January 20, 2023 or the date that Greenidge and B. Riley Commercial enter into a mutually satisfactory amendment to the BRCC Note addressing, among other things, future amortization requirements under the Secured Promissory Note. The waiver left the due dates for other scheduled payments under the BRCC Note unaffected. On January 30, 2023, Greenidge entered into the Consent and Amendment No. 1 to the Promissory Note (the "B. Riley Amendment") with B. Riley Commercial. The B. Riley Amendment modified the payment dates and principal and interest payment amounts under the Promissory Note, requiring no principal and interest payments until June 2023 and monthly payments thereafter through November 2023. Under the terms of the B. Riley Amendment, each of B. Riley Commercial and Atlas Holdings LLC ("Atlas"), or an affiliate thereof, purchased $1 million of Greenidge’s Class A common stock under the ATM Agreement. B. Riley Commercial purchased common stock on a principal basis at $7.50 per share and Atlas or its affiliate purchased common stock at market prices through B. Riley acting as sales agent. Greenidge also paid a $1 million dollar amendment fee to B. Riley Commercial, payable by the delivery of Greenidge Class A common stock to B. Riley Commercial, as principal under the ATM Agreement, at a price of $7.50 per share. Under the B. Riley Amendment, Greenidge is required to make mandatory monthly debt repayments under the Promissory Note of 15% of the net proceeds of sales of equity, including sales under the ATM Agreement and the equity purchase agreement. The monthly principal amortization payments are $1.5 million beginning June 20, 2023. The Company evaluated the amendment under ASC 470-50, "Debt Modification and Extinguishment", and concluded that the updated terms qualified as a debt modification, therefore, no gain or loss was recorded. On July 20, 2023, NYDIG purchased the secured promissory note from B. Riley Commercial. Under the Limited Waiver discussed in the description of the Senior Secured Loan, NYDIG agreed to amend the NYDIG the Secured Promissory Note on or before August 21, 2023 to suspend interest and principal payments due under the B Riley Commercial Note until the earlier of (i) the completion of the transactions contemplated by the non-binding term sheet, or (ii) December 29, 2023. On November 9, 2023, the Company completed the sale of the South Carolina mining site to NYDIG which resulted in the settlement of the Secured Promissory Note as part of the consideration received in the sale. This settlement resulted in the termination of all liens, mortgages and security interests previously securing the loan, as well as all related covenants. See note 14, Subsequent Events for further details. Senior Unsecured Notes During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company sold $72.2 million of 8.50% Senior Notes due October 2026 (the "Notes") pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-1. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year to the holders of record at the close of business on the immediately preceding January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, respectively. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment with the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.
