May 18:
- Fermi says ex-CEO Toby Neugebauer was terminated for cause over alleged misconduct, value-destructive sale plans
- Fermi filed a preliminary consent revocation statement with the SEC opposing Neugebauer’s bid to call a special meeting.
May 19: Toby Neugebauer, co-founder and largest shareholder of Fermi Inc., issued a letter to the owners of the Company
- "We need the opportunity to determine the future of Fermi ourselves, rather than having major decisions dictated by a small committee within a Board that has never answered to shareholders. The stakes are too high, and the opportunity too urgent, for directors who have never faced a shareholder vote to control the outcome."
- Neugebauer reiterates belief that Fermi's current cost of capital requires a dual-path process that must include a full-market-value sale or strategic partnership in order to maximize shareholder value.
- Given the Company's multiple legal tactics to suppress shareholder votes, Mr. Neugebauer announced that he plans to pause his solicitation of shareholders at the Special Meeting of Shareholders that he called for May 29, 2026, and will instead proceed with his solicitation to call a Special Meeting of Shareholders that he intends to hold on or around June 30, 2026.
