Fermi Accuses Former CEO of 'False Claims,' Urges Shareholders to Block Takeover Attempt
FRMI has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $4.47 on elevated volume (2.3× avg).
Summary
Fermi Inc. is publicly refuting recent claims by its former CEO and largest shareholder, Toby Neugebauer, urging shareholders to return the WHITE Consent Revocation Card to block his attempt to call a Special Meeting. This is a direct escalation in the ongoing proxy contest, which began with Neugebauer's termination for cause in late April and his subsequent filings to replace the board. Fermi asserts that Neugebauer's goal is a quick sale benefiting him at other shareholders' expense, and that his return would jeopardize current strategic partnerships and tenant discussions. The outcome of this shareholder solicitation will determine the company's future leadership and strategic direction.
