Event Summary

Toby Neugebauer>>>, co-founder and largest shareholder of Fermi Inc.>>>, is refuting allegations made by the company's board regarding his leadership. The board claims Toby Neugebauer>>> 'damaged relationships' with commercial counterparties, which he asserts is a misrepresentation of his fiduciary efforts to stop systemic overbilling by contractors. Toby Neugebauer>>> and Fermi Inc.>>>'s CFO, Miles Everson>>>, initiated audits of third-party contracts in December 2025, leading to the termination or renegotiation of bloated contracts and saving the company millions. Toby Neugebauer>>> also instituted daily budget calls to ensure financial discipline. He argues that the board's narrative of 'strained relationships' is a result of contractors being upset about the cessation of overbilling. Toby Neugebauer>>>, along with affiliated entities Vicksburg Investments Management LLC>>> and Melissa A. Neugebauer 2020 Trust>>>, and other 'Participants', intend to file a definitive proxy statement with the United States — United States Securities and Exchange Commission>>> to call a special meeting of shareholders around June 30, 2026, to address these issues and focus on maximizing shareholder value.
