Price Chart
Executive Summary
Fermi Inc. filed a DEFA14A containing a preliminary consent revocation statement and press releases opposing former CEO Toby Neugebauer's consent solicitation to call a special meeting on June 30, 2026. The Board has amended bylaws to require 70% shareholder approval for board size changes, effectively blocking Neugebauer (who controls ~40% of shares) from stacking the board with his nominees to force a sale. The company has secured ~$1.0B in financing commitments and ~$1.4B in infrastructure, and its second-largest shareholder (Caddis Capital, ~9.3%) has reaffirmed support for management.
Actionable Insight
The proxy fight is escalating with the Board's bylaw amendment raising the bar to 70% for board changes, making it very difficult for Neugebauer to gain control even if he calls a special meeting. Watch for SEC clearance of the revocation statement and the outcome of the consent solicitation — if Neugebauer fails to get 50%+ of shares to demand a meeting, the activist threat is neutralized. The stock's 80% decline under Neugebauer and the Board's structural defenses suggest the incumbent team has the upper hand, but litigation over meeting validity remains a risk.
Key Facts
- Board amended bylaws to require 70% of outstanding shares to approve board size changes, blocking Neugebauer's ~40% stake from controlling the outcome
- Neugebauer was terminated for cause on April 30, 2026 for misrepresentations, unauthorized communications, and abusive conduct
- Company secured nearly $1.0 billion in financing commitments and established over $1.4 billion in infrastructure
- Second-largest shareholder Caddis Capital (~9.3%) reaffirmed support for the Board and management on May 11, 2026
- Stock declined more than 80% from IPO under Neugebauer's tenure as CEO
- Neugebauer received his stock pre-IPO for less than $0.01 per share, creating misalignment with public shareholders in a sale scenario
Financial Impact
Company has secured ~$1.0B in financing commitments and ~$1.4B in infrastructure; stock declined >80% under former CEO
Risk Factors
- Neugebauer may challenge the bylaw amendment or meeting cancellation in court, creating legal uncertainty
- If Neugebauer succeeds in calling a special meeting and winning board seats, a forced sale at depressed valuation could destroy value for public shareholders
- Counterparties have conditioned business on Neugebauer not exerting control — his return could jeopardize key partnerships and Project Matador
