Traders should watch for shareholder response to Neugebauer's solicitation and any court rulings on the special meeting. If Neugebauer gains sufficient support, Fermi may be forced into a sale process, driving the stock higher. Conversely, a loss could lead to management entrenchment and downside. The proxy fight is escalating, making FRMI a high-volatility event-driven play.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Former CEO and co-founder Toby Neugebauer filed additional proxy solicitation materials (DFAN14A) on June 30, 2026, urging shareholders to appoint him as agent to call a special meeting.
