Toby Neugebauer Launches UnlockFermiValue.com
New site will serve as central hub for shareholders and interested parties to understand the context behind the dual-track path Neugebauer is calling for to maximize shareholder value
DALLAS, May 28, 2026 – Toby Neugebauer, co-founder and largest shareholder of Fermi Inc. (“Fermi” or the “Company”), today launched UnlockFermiValue.com, a new site detailing his shareholder-led initiative focused on ensuring an independent, dual-path strategic process to maximize the extraordinary value of Project Matador for Fermi shareholders.
“As we make progress towards calling a special meeting of shareholders to vote on a new board majority, it’s important that Fermi stakeholders understand why we believe the best way to maximize shareholder value is through a 75-day dual-path process that considers a full-value transaction or strategic partnership, alongside evaluation of the standalone tenant plan. This starts with making sure shareholders and interested parties have access to the information they need about the asset, our highly-qualified independent board nominees, and the recommended strategic process, in order to make an informed decision on calling the special meeting, and ultimately on electing our new board majority. UnlockFermiValue.com provides this resource,” said Mr. Neugebauer.
“Since last week’s shareholder webinar, where we had hundreds of attendees, our bank partner’s phone has been ringing nonstop with multiple companies highly interested in competing for a potential full-value transaction or strategic partnership including hyperscalers and global investment firms uniquely positioned to value the company correctly and to execute the future of Project Matador. As we have been willing to do, we urge the board to exercise its fiduciary responsibility to consider the dual-track path to maximize shareholder value and we implore all shareholders to call for the June special meeting should the board refuse to take advantage of the momentum.”
Shareholders and interested parties are encouraged to visit UnlockFermiValue.com to view materials and sign up to receive updates, including about how to vote in favor of calling the special meeting and, ultimately, to voting at the special meeting.
For shareholders who have questions, please contact Saratoga, our proxy solicitor, at (888) 368-0379 (toll-free) or info@saratogaproxy.com.
