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.

SUPPORTSOFT, INC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared to reflect the June 23, 2009 sale of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of the Company’s Enterprise Business (the Enterprise Business) to Consona, which we refer to herein as “Consona” or the “Buyer”. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information sets forth the pro forma consolidated results of operations of SupportSoft, Inc. (“SupportSoft” or the “Company”) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the pro forma consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2009.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial information and gives effect to the sale of the Enterprise Business to Consona as if it had occurred on January 1, 2007. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial information and gives effect to the sale of the Enterprise Business in exchange for approximately $20 million in cash as if it had occurred on March 31, 2009.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes and do not reflect any adjustments for non-recurring items or changes in operating strategies arising as a result of the transaction. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include no assumptions regarding the use of proceeds (other than to pay transaction related expenses), which are presented as additional cash on the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the actual effect of the transaction, due to this and other factors, could differ from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. However, management believes that the assumptions used and the adjustments made are reasonable under the circumstances and given the information available.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or the financial position that would have been achieved had the transaction been consummated as of the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as amended, and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information gives effect to the sale of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of the Company’s Enterprise Business by Consona in exchange for approximately $20 million in cash. The Company will account for the disposition as a discontinued operation in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets .

During the periods presented, the Enterprise Business was operated as an operating segment within the Company. As such, the Company did not maintain separate, stand-alone financial statements for the Enterprise Business. Accordingly, the financial information of the Enterprise Business has been prepared from the historical accounting records of the Company and does not purport to reflect a balance sheet and statement of operations that would have resulted if the Enterprise Business had been a separate, stand-alone company.

Prior to 2007, SupportSoft’s only business was the Enterprise Business. Accordingly, the historical statement of operations of SupportSoft for the year ended December 31, 2006, represents the Enterprise Business in its entirety. Therefore, pro forma financial information for any period prior to January 1, 2007 is not presented.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial information and give effect to the transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2007. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 has been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial information and gives effect to the transaction as if it had occurred on March 31, 2009.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes and do not reflect any adjustments for non-recurring items or changes in operating strategies arising as a result of the transaction. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include no assumptions regarding the use of proceeds (other than to pay transaction related expenses), which are presented as additional cash on the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the actual effect of the transaction, due to this and other factors, could differ from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. However, management believes that the assumptions used and the adjustments made are reasonable under the circumstances and given the information available.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or the financial position that would have been achieved had the transaction been consummated as of the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as amended, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009.
