The amendment removes a near-term liquidity overhang by waiving a key project milestone covenant, but the $25 million fee is material. Monitor whether Fermi can secure a lease/offtake for Project Matador on acceptable terms — the covenant removal buys time but does not solve the underlying project risk.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Fermi Inc. amended its Equipment Supply Loan Financing Agreement with MUFG Bank, eliminating a covenant requiring a 400 MW lease/offtake arrangement at Project Matador by November 10, 2026, and removing the associated potential amortization increase. The company paid $25 million in amendment fees, but eliminated potential principal payments of approximately $22 million in Q4 2026, $19 million in Q1 2027, and $15 million in Q2 2027.
Key Facts
