• Board Files Consent Revocation Statement

  Fermi Inc. filed a preliminary Consent Revocation Statement on May 15, 2026, formally responding to former CEO Toby Neugebauer's solicitation to hold a Special Meeting on or about June 30, 2026.

• Rejection of Former CEO's Proposals

  The Board argues Neugebauer's proposals are not in shareholders' best interests, citing his termination for cause due to misconduct and poor performance (stock declined over 80% during his tenure).

• Concerns Over Forced Sale

  The company alleges Neugebauer's proposals aim to force a sale at a depressed valuation, primarily benefiting him and his affiliates who acquired shares at a negligible cost pre-IPO.

• Governance Stability at Risk

  Critical commercial partners have conditioned continued business on Neugebauer not exerting control, and his return would jeopardize these relationships and the company's strategic direction.
