The activist campaign is escalating with concrete evidence of third-party interest. Monitor for the definitive proxy statement and the board's response. If the special meeting proceeds, the probability of a sale or strategic transaction increases materially. The stock should re-rate on M&A optionality.

Executive Summary
Co-founder and former CEO Toby Neugebauer launched a website and press release escalating his proxy fight to force a special meeting and elect a new board majority at Fermi Inc., advocating for a 75-day dual-track strategic process (sale/partnership vs. standalone) for Project Matador. The filing signals the activist is gaining momentum, citing multiple interested parties from hyperscalers and global investment firms, and is pushing for a June 30 special meeting.
Key Facts
- Toby Neugebauer, co-founder and largest shareholder, launched UnlockFermiValue.com on May 27, 2026.
- Neugebauer is calling for a 75-day dual-path process: full-value transaction or strategic partnership alongside standalone tenant plan.
- Neugebauer claims multiple hyperscalers and global investment firms are interested in a transaction.
- A special meeting is anticipated on or around June 30, 2026, to vote on a new board majority.
- Neugebauer and affiliates beneficially own 278,032,070 shares (combined from 13G filed Nov 14, 2025).
- The board previously removed Neugebauer as CEO on April 17, 2026, and terminated him for cause on April 30, 2026.
- The board opposes the special meeting, calling it premature and not in shareholders' best interests.
Financial Impact
Neugebauer and affiliates control a large block (~278M shares) of a $4.2B market cap company; a sale or strategic partnership of Project Matador could unlock significant value, though no specific valuation is provided.
Risk Factors
- Board may successfully block the special meeting through legal or procedural means.
- No guarantee that third-party interest translates into a binding offer at attractive terms.
- Neugebauer's termination for cause and the board's opposition create uncertainty and potential litigation.
