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

Business Wire2 days ago
PITTSFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GREE) ('Greenidge' or the 'Company'), a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation company, today announced the early results of its previously announced concurrent tender and exchange offers (collectively, the 'Tender/Exchange Offer' or the 'Offer') to exchange or to purchase, at the election of each holder, its outstanding 8.5% Senior Notes due 2026 (the 'Old Notes') as set forth in the Offer to Purchase/Exchange, dated as of June 17, 2025 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the 'Offer to Purchase/Exchange'), which trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ('Nasdaq') under the symbol 'GREEL,' and an increase in the Cash Payment Limit for the Tender Option (as those terms are defined in the Offer to Purchase/Exchange) from $3,000,000 to $3,204,477, representing an additional acceptance of less than 1% of the principal amount of the Old Notes outstanding.
According to the information provided to Greenidge by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the exchange agent in connection with the Offer, the following aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes set forth in the table below was validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Option (as defined in the Offer to Purchase/Exchange) and not properly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 2, 2025 (the 'Early Tender Date') for cash in an amount equal to $9.00 for each $25.00 principal amount of Old Notes tendered, subject to a $3,204,477 cash payment limit:
According to the information provided to Greenidge by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the exchange agent in connection with the Offer, an aggregate principal amount of $1,373,475 of Old Notes have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Option (as defined in the Offer to Purchase/Exchange) as of the Early Tender Date.
Although the Tender/Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on July 18, 2025 (the 'Expiration Date'), because the aggregate purchase price of the Old Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Option and not properly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date exceeded the Cash Payment Limit, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any Old Notes that are tendered pursuant to the Tender Option after the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration Date. However, holders of Old Notes may still tender pursuant to the Exchange Option (as defined in the Offer to Purchase/Exchange).
Greenidge intends to take the position that the Old Notes and the New Notes constitute securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, that consummation of exchanges of Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer likely qualifies as a tax-free recapitalization.
In accordance with the terms of the Offer, Greenidge has elected to exercise its right to make payment for all Old Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Option and not properly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase on July 9, 2025 (the 'Early Settlement Date').
For each $25.00 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date pursuant to the Tender Option, eligible holders were eligible to receive $9.00 in cash plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.
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.
Information Relating to the Tender/Exchange Offer
The complete terms and conditions of the Tender/Exchange Offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 16, 2025 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the 'Offer to Purchase'), which sets forth a detailed description of the Tender/Exchange Offer. Greenidge refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender/Exchange Offer. Investors with questions regarding the terms and conditions of the Tender/Exchange Offer may contact our information agent as follows:

ACHV: Achieve's Busy Day

By John Vandermosten, CFA NASDAQ:ACHV READ THE FULL ACHV RESEARCH REPORT Achieve Life Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACHV) posted a flurry of press releases last week announcing the submission of its new drug application (NDA), a partnership with Omnicom for cytisinicline commercialization, a proposed public offering and the pricing of the offering. The capital raise was closed on June 30th. This is the culmination of more than a decade of work developing cytisinicline for smoking cessation. Now that the development phase of cytisinicline for smoking cessation is coming to a close, we look towards the regulatory and commercialization phases. We expect to see the FDA formally accept the NDA by late August and Achieve's management team to turn its attention towards the sales effort. Assuming normal turnaround times, we expect the FDA to set a target action date sometime in 2Q:26. NDA Submission Achieve announced its NDA submission of cytisinicline for smoking cessation in a June 26th press release. The company conducted two Phase III studies, an open label safety study and other studies that evaluated over 2,000 participants with the results demonstrating the safety, efficacy and tolerability of cytisinicline. We expect to see acceptance of the NDA within 60 days and further expect additional safety data from the ongoing ORCA-OL trial to be shared with the agency near year end. Commercialization Partnership Now that the new drug application has been submitted, Achieve is further advancing its commercialization efforts. During its earnings calls, the company has outlined its commercialization strategy and is now partnering with Omnicom Group to execute the plan. Omnicom Group provides brand and advertising services to thousands of clients globally and is one of the world's largest advertising and marketing services companies. Achieve will work with Omnicom subsidiary Credera, which is focused on digital transformation services. Credera combines consulting, artificial intelligence (AI) and technology expertise to build consumer technology platforms, integrate marketing technology systems and provide strategic consulting services. It will help Achieve to precisely target and engage healthcare professionals and patients through optimization of channel performance and acceleration of meaningful engagement. The team executing the initiative will include Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, DDB Health, and Ketchum Health which are health care-focused subsidiaries of the Omnicom marketing group. The various subsidiaries will provide expertise in consumer brand development, medical education and strategic public relations and communications, applying industry insights to support cytisinicline launch. In the Achieve partnership, Ketchum Health brings public relations and communications expertise, while Credera handles technology, Goodby Silverstein provides creative advertising, and DDB Health focuses on healthcare marketing. The partnership will use generative AI, predictive analytics and social listening to enhance targeting and personalization. Using a comprehensive approach, it will also employ healthcare applications, pharmacies and data providers to expand the reach and depth of insights. Omnicom has worked as media agency, digital and brand experience for other pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients including established firms such as AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Novartis and Moderna among others. Achieve will be the first small company that Omnicom has supported in commercializing a newly approved drug. Therefore, Omnicom will take on a broader strategic role than in its past partnerships. The Omnicom team will help communicate the optimal message to the provider and patient and monitor its effectiveness in real time. This will allow for rapid course corrections and focus on high value activities. Achieve has identified several target groups for its marketing efforts that are stratified by age, social media use and other demographic data. It was able to identify these groups based on subject experiences in the company's many clinical trials. We anticipate that the structure of Achieve's internal marketing team will be heavily tilted toward supporting the digital campaign with contract representatives available for in-person physician meetings when appropriate. Public Offering On June 30th, 2025 Achieve closed its $45 million capital raise. 15 million shares were issued at $3.00, each of which included an attached warrant exercisable at $3.00 per share. An additional 1,766,666 warrants were issued upon the partial exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares, bringing total issued warrants to approximately 16.8 million. Net proceeds from the capital raise are estimated to be $41.3 million as disclosed in the June 27th Form 8-K filing. ORCA-OL Safety Trial Achieve began 2025 by announcing that 300 participants had completed six months of treatment in the Ongoing Research of Cytisinicline for Addiction Program, Open Label (ORCA-OL) trial. The Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) identified no safety concerns as of this milestone allowing registrational filing with the FDA. As of May 2025, a third DSMC safety review was completed which also found no unexpected treatment-related adverse events. As of the first quarter reporting date, more than 100 subjects had completed one year of cytisinicline treatment. Furthermore, about 75% of the 479 (~360) individuals remained on treatment in the trial. We think that it is a material real-world positive that so many participants would remain on a smoking cessation product for that long a period suggesting that cytisinicline is well tolerated. This is particularly notable given the high discontinuation rates for Chantix and the associated unpleasant side effects such as nausea, headache, abnormal dreams and constipation.[1] Achieve expects to complete the one-year safety data package in the next few months and will submit this to the FDA by the 120-day safety review milestone. This should be around year-end 2025. Achieve expects that it will far exceed the 100-patient minimum required for one year of safety observations and could see as many as 300 patients with one year of exposure. Since one of the secondary endpoints is efficacy, this study should be able to show a wealth of data that can help providers use cytisinicline more effectively especially in chronic areas of disease such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and cardiology.

Services for Deaf Ontarians to be Restored as Tentative Settlement Reached Between CUPE 2073 and Canadian Hearing Services

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A tentative agreement has been reached between CUPE 2073 and Canadian Hearing Services (CHS), pointing to a possible end to the ten-week-long strike that began on April 28 and has drawn considerable attention from the Deaf community, labour allies, and politicians. No details of the tentative deal will be released until the membership has had the opportunity to review and vote on the deal. The vote will take place on Monday, July 7. The earliest possible date workers could be back on the job is Monday, July 14. 'Our members are incredibly eager to get back to jobs they love,' said Mara Waern, president of CUPE 2073 and an employment consultant with more than three decades of experience at CHS. 'The Deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing communities all supported us throughout this strike, walking our lines, sharing their stories, and now it's our turn to support them by providing the kind of services they deserve. To the people and organizations that showed solidarity and fought alongside us: every one of our members thanks you.' CUPE 2073 represents workers in 18 communities across the province. They remove barriers for the Deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing, providing supports as general services counsellors, literacy instructors, audiologists, employment consultants, sign language interpreters, and in other critical roles. 90 per cent of workers are women, and many of them are Deaf.

This $11.5M Startup Backed By Niklas Zennström Wants To Help You Launch A Million-Dollar AI Business From Your Sofa

Henrik Werdelin, co-founder of BarkBox and longtime startup advisor, has launched a new venture named Audos, which recently raised $11.5 million in seed funding led by True Ventures. Other investors include Offline Ventures, Bungalow Capital, and notable angel investors Niklas Zennström and Mario Schlosser, TechCrunch reports. Based in New York, Audos offers AI tools and startup-building support to everyday people who want to launch small businesses without any technical background. Unlike accelerators or traditional venture models, TechCrunch says that Audos charges a 15% perpetual revenue share instead of taking equity from founders. Don't Miss: Invest early in CancerVax's breakthrough tech aiming to disrupt a $231B market. Tired of Grid Failures and Charging Deserts? This Startup Has a Solar Fix and $25M+ in Sales — Werdelin, who previously built startup studio Prehype, told TechCrunch that Audos combines years of startup-building expertise into an accessible platform anyone can use to launch a digital product. "What we're trying to do is to figure out how you make a million companies that do a million dollars [in annual revenue]," Werdelin said. That goal, if realized, would create what he calls a trillion-dollar turnover business, a term that sets a new benchmark for bottom-up innovation. The company uses social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook to reach potential founders and identify whether their business ideas can generate customers at a sustainable cost. According to TechCrunch, Audos's AI agent interacts with users directly, helping them clarify their offer and go to market quickly using natural language inputs. Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — So far, Audos has supported the launch of what Werdelin calls "low hundreds" of businesses in its beta phase, TechCrunch reports. These include ventures like a virtual golf swing coach, an AI nutritionist, a mechanic offering quote evaluations, and even an "after-death logistics" consultant. Each founder received up to $25,000 in funding, access to Audos's proprietary tools, and support in distributing their offer through paid social ads. According to TechCrunch, Werdelin refers to these micro-businesses as "donkeycorns," signaling modest yet profitable ventures that aim to support personal freedom rather than billion-dollar exits. According to TechCrunch, Audos's model may spark discussion over the long-term cost of a 15% revenue share, which continues indefinitely like Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) App Store platform fee. While some entrepreneurs may welcome the no-equity route, others could see the permanent cut as a costly tradeoff over acknowledged that the market is rapidly filling with similar AI tools, saying, "the world is full of these tools" and they are "getting better rapidly," TechCrunch says. Audos distinguishes itself by helping non-technical users go to market quickly using natural language prompts and social media targeting. True Ventures partner Tony Conrad expressed confidence in Audos, citing its potential to support thousands who want to start small, independent businesses with real revenue potential. "There are just lots and lots of people" who need this opportunity, Conrad told TechCrunch. Audos currently operates with just five employees but aims to expand its impact exponentially without building a large internal team. Werdelin believes the next wave of entrepreneurship should be built by people previously left out of the ecosystem. "We believe that the world is better with more entrepreneurship," he told TechCrunch, pointing to mom-and-pop shops as his inspiration rather than venture-backed unicorns.
