The activist has escalated with new social media outreach ahead of the June 30 special meeting. Monitor for the definitive proxy statement (GREEN card) and any management settlement or poison pill response. The cross-filing PREC14A from management indicates strong opposition, but the activist's large stake and multi-pronged campaign (board seats + bylaw changes + sale advocacy) suggest a high-probability catalyst for strategic change or premium realization.

Executive Summary
Co-founder and former CEO Toby Neugebauer escalated his proxy fight against Fermi Inc. by posting new soliciting materials on LinkedIn and X (Twitter) on June 4, 2026, urging shareholders to support his campaign to call a special meeting on or around June 30, 2026. The Neugebauer Group, which collectively owns approximately 278 million shares (stake percentage not disclosed in this filing), is seeking to expand the board and elect seven nominees, including Neugebauer himself, to force a strategic review or sale of the company. This filing follows management's May 15 revocation solicitation opposing the special meeting and Neugebauer's termination for cause in April 2026.
