Introductory Note
As previously disclosed, Support.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Greenidge”), and GGH Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenidge (“Merger Sub”). On September 14, 2021, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenidge (the “Surviving Corporation”).
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company on March 22, 2021 and is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 2.01. | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive 0.115 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001, of Greenidge (the “Greenidge Class A Common Stock”), (ii) each outstanding stock option of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Options”) was accelerated, and the holder of each Option received the right to receive an amount of Greenidge Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Option, less a number of shares to be withheld in satisfaction of the aggregate exercise price of such Option and, unless such holder elected to satisfy such obligation with cash, such holder’s tax withholding obligations and (iii) each outstanding restricted stock unit of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “RSUs”) was accelerated, and the holder of each RSU received the right to receive an amount of Greenidge Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such RSU, less a number of shares to be withheld in satisfaction of such holder’s tax withholding obligation, unless such holder elected to satisfy such obligation with cash.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company notified representatives of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq Capital Market) (“NASDAQ”) that the Merger had been completed and requested that NASDAQ delist the Company Common Stock. As a result, trading of the Company Common Stock, which traded under the ticker symbol “SPRT” on NASDAQ, was suspended after the close of trading on NASDAQ on September 14, 2021. In addition, the Company requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 25 in order to effect the delisting of the shares of the Company Common Stock from NASDAQ and deregistration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company also intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 under the Exchange Act requesting the deregistration of the shares of the Company Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
