15 1. Continuing Progress of AI Initiative Current State: Limited Power Supply for AI “In a middle-ground scenario, by 2027 A.I. servers could use between 85 to 134 terawatt hours (Twh) annually. That’s similar to what Argentina, the Netherlands and Sweden each use in a year, and is about 0.5 percent of the world's current electricity use.” “According to estimates from the federal Energy Information Administration, U.S. miners of Bitcoin used 70 terawatthours to power their datacenters last year. That's merely 10% of the electricity that A.I. might be drawing in 2030.” “The nation’s 2,700 data centers sapped more than 4 percent of the country’s total electricity in 2022, according to the International Energy Agency. Its projections show that by 2026, they will consume 6 percent. Industry forecasts show the centers eating up a larger share of U.S. electricity in the years that follow…” Proven operators with in-house engineering and electrical capabilities having successfully designed, built and operated over 4 EH/s of bitcoin mining data center operations and over 160 MW of power infrastructure at multiple locations Blueprint to execute on buildouts with new partners for data center capabilities; partnership already inked with Infinite Reality Greenidge has strong relationship with its controlling shareholder who has access to potentially actionable sites Greenidge is the Solution (1) (2) (3) 1.

Case Study: Infinite Reality Data Center D  Access to power assets convertible into data centers through existing sites  Network of potential stranded power assets through Controlling Shareholder D  High demand for power to support rapid growth of Infinite Reality  Existing power options (e.g. AWS) are prohibitively expensive D Blueprint for future buildouts with new partners Data center multiples are extremely robust (~20x / EBITDA) Cheaper option to power AI needs and support business growth ROFR on GREE sites; runway for continued expansion Further diversify revenue base Significant Opportunity for Mutual Growth Situation Overview © Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc.
