Fermi Director Resigns Over Records Access Dispute Amid Proxy War
FRMI sits 46% above its 52-week low of $4.47 on elevated volume (3.7× avg).
Summary
Director Miles Everson, the board designee of former CEO and activist Toby Neugebauer, resigned effective July 10, citing a dispute over access to books and records and the board's delegation of financing oversight to the Finance Committee. The resignation comes amid a heated proxy battle where Neugebauer has been pushing for a special shareholder meeting to overhaul the board, recently suspending his campaign after gaining advisory firm support. Everson's departure removes a key insider aligned with the activist and signals deepening governance fractures at a company already facing a going concern warning and severe liquidity issues. The dispute over financial transparency raises questions about what the board may be shielding from shareholders. With the proxy fight paused but unresolved, the next move from Neugebauer or the board will determine whether this escalates further.
