Fermi's Largest Shareholder Sues Three Directors Over Alleged Control Grab
FRMI is trading near its 52-week low of $4.47 (14% above the low) on elevated volume (2.5× avg).
Summary
Toby Neugebauer, Fermi's largest shareholder at ~22%, has filed a lawsuit against three directors, alleging a coordinated effort to seize control of the company and disenfranchise shareholders. This escalates an ongoing activist battle that has included a suspended proxy campaign, a director resignation, and a denied emergency request in Texas Business Court. The lawsuit introduces direct legal action against board members, raising governance risk and potential distraction from operations. The outcome could affect board composition and strategic direction, including the deferred REIT election and recent convertible note financing.
