Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 23, 2009, support.com, Inc. (formerly known as SupportSoft, Inc.) (the “Company”) completed the sale of the Company’s Enterprise Business (the “Enterprise Business”) to Consona Corporation (“Buyer”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of April 5, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer has acquired certain assets and assumes certain liabilities related to the Enterprise Business as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), the Company received a cash payment of approximately $20.0 million. The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities.

The foregoing description of the Transaction does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was filed with the Current Report on Form 8-K on April 6, 2009, as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company has included in Exhibit 99.1 pro forma financial statements giving effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred at the start of each period presented.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 30, 2009, as a consequence of the sale of the Enterprise Business, Michael Sayer will be leaving his employment with the Company and therefore will cease to be a Named Executive Officer of the Company under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. As described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 6, 2009, the Company amended and restated the employment offer letter with Mr. Sayer to provide that certain payments may be provided to Mr. Sayer under certain circumstances following the closing of an Enterprise Sale (as such term is defined in the amended and restated employment offer letter). The Transaction qualifies as an Enterprise Sale and, therefore, Mr. Sayer became entitled to such payments as of the Closing.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 22, in connection with the Transaction, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Name Change Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to effect a change in its name from SupportSoft, Inc. to support.com, Inc. A copy of the Name Change Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
