- Support.com (NASDAQ:SPRT) has completed its merger with Greenidge Generation (GREE) and will now operate as a subsidiary of Greenidge.
- The combined company will trade today under the ticker "GREE."
- The company filed with the SEC after the bell yesterday 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."
- The company said every share of SPRT is "cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted" to the right to 0.115 share of GREE. That puts the conversion at 1 share of Greenidge (GREE) for about 8.7 shares of Support.com (SPRT). Fractional holdings will be converted using cash.
- SPRT closed down another 38% yesterday to close at $11.80. More than 2.7M shares changed hands in extended-hours trading yesterday, bringing the stock down further, below $11.
- The stock has lost more than 40% since shareholders approved the merger on Friday.
- It's down more than 65% from its high of the year, but still up more than 400% year to date.
- Those hoping for a squeeze have been speculating online that short-sellers would be forced to cover as GREE starts trading, but there was no sign of a move to cover huge short positions, with short interest above 70% at the time of the close of the merger.
