Fermi Board Amends Bylaws to Protect Interests of ShareholdersMay 14, 2026 4:05 PM
PR Newswire (US) DALLAS, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ: FRMI) (LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™ ("Fermi" or the "Company"), today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved an amendment of the Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") to protect and empower shareholders unaffiliated with the Company's former Chief Executive Officer. The Bylaw amendments are intended to ensure the integrity of the Company's Board structure. Under the amended Bylaws, any proposed changes to the Board's size or classified structure will require approval from at least 70% of the Company's outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting as one class. Fermi's former CEO has claimed that he and his affiliates currently control approximately 40% of Fermi's outstanding shares, which represents an outsized level of influence under the previous Bylaws.Consistent with best governance practices for shareholder approval of conflicted transactions, a 70% vote to approve Mr. Neugebauer's proposal would require approximately half of the shareholders unaffiliated with him to amend the Bylaws as he intends. The Board's amendment does not change the percentage of shareholders necessary to call a special meeting, which remains at 50% of the Company's outstanding shares.Fermi notes that on May 11, 2026, Caddis Capital, LLC, the Company's second largest shareholder owning approximately 9.3% of the Company's outstanding common shares, reaffirmed its support for Fermi's Board, the Company's management team and its long-term strategic plan.The Board issued the following statement:The Fermi Board and management team are committed to taking steps that will position the Company for success. We are pleased with the support from our shareholders of the Company's strategic plan to build on the momentum of Project Matador as it executes Fermi 2.0. The Board will continue to evaluate strategic opportunities to maximize shareholder value and take actions that we believe protect our shareholders' interests.The Company today separately filed the Amended and Restated Bylaws on a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.About Fermi America™

Fermi Inc. Outlines Fermi 2.0 Strategic Evolution and Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsMay 14, 2026 7:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) Secures over 2 GW of power generation; advances ~11 GW of permitted capacity; closes ~$785 million in new equipment financing; strengthens governance; and accelerates commercial engagementDALLAS, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) (NASDAQ: FRMI) (LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™ ("Fermi" or the "Company"), today reported first quarter 2026 financial results. A conference call is scheduled for 9 a.m. Eastern Time / 2 p.m. British Time today, May 14, 2026. Accompanying slides and prepared remarks can be found at https://investor.fermiamerica.com/. Participation details are included in this release. Fermi 2.0: Strategic EvolutionFermi provided an update on its strategic evolution from an entrepreneurial startup into a scaled, institutional public company purpose-built to deliver gigawatt-scale private power to the AI economy."Fermi America is at a meaningful inflection point in its development," said Marius Haas, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "Fermi 2.0 is about pairing the tangible asset base we've already constructed with the institutional capability required to realize its full value. We've converted investor capital into more than $1.4 billion of infrastructure at a site that few, if any, competitors can replicate on a comparable timeline. Over the next 90 days, we're executing a disciplined plan that includes securing a binding tenant agreement, diligently managing working capital and liquidity, hiring our next CEO, exploring strategic partnerships for power/data center deployment acceleration, and delivering power at our project site. Our team is unified and focused on one primary objective to maximize long-term shareholder returns."Rick Perry, former Texas Governor, former U.S. Secretary of Energy and Co-Founder of Fermi America, said, "Fermi was founded to do something no one else in America is doing at this scale: bring gigawatts of private power to premier AI tenants in months, not years. Our strategy hasn't changed, and the team leading this next chapter has my full confidence and support. We have the right leadership, land, permits, equipment, and partners to scale to commercial operations and realize the full value of this unique project."Commercial Momentum and Accelerated EngagementTenant engagement has improved in recent weeks, and active discussions are ongoing with hyperscalers, neo-cloud providers, and enterprise compute operators.Anna Bofa, Co-President, Office of the CEO, said, "Fermi 2.0 is about making the company easier to work with and creating a more streamlined commercial interface for customers and partners who want to move quickly and confidently. The uptick in interest from prospective tenants confirms our business plan. Fermi can deliver reliable power at scale, execute on our timeline, and serve as a trustworthy long-term operating partner. In recent weeks, we've hosted multiple prospective tenants and strategic partners who continue to view Project Matador as one of the most advanced and customer-ready, large-scale power campuses. They are looking for credible near-term power, real infrastructure, secured equipment, permitting progress, land control, and a team that can execute. These attributes set Fermi apart and are driving increased urgency in our commercial conversations. It gives us momentum and confidence in reaching new non-binding long-term agreements in the near future."Project Matador Operational and Regulatory ProgressConstruction at Project Matador is progressing on schedule. Fermi's flagship behind-the-meter energy and compute campus spans more than 7,500 acres in Carson County, Texas. At full build-out, the project is designed to deliver up to 17 GW of power from lower-carbon natural gas, advanced nuclear, solar, and battery storage to premier tenants. Quarterly milestones include:Established a clear path to commercial power delivery later this year by securing more than 2 GW of total power generation across owned and contracted assets.Obtained a ~6 GW Clean Air Permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the second-largest permit of its kind in the United States.Filed an application with TCEQ for an additional ~5 GW Clean Air Permit, supporting full flexibility for build-out toward 17 GW.The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) named Project Matador an inaugural participant in its Environmental Impact Statement pilot program, an initiative designed to expedite nuclear licensing timelines for advanced reactor projects.Completed nearly 5 miles of natural gas lines, more than 11 miles of perimeter fencing, and over 7 miles of on-site water distribution lines.Both transmission systems were connected, which will deliver power upon grid interconnection later this year.The first six Siemens SGT-800 gas turbines arrived in the Port of Houston and cleared customs.Strengthened Governance and LeadershipAs part of Fermi 2.0, the Company has taken significant steps to enhance governance and leadership:In addition to Marius Haas assuming the role of Chairman of the Board, the Board was expanded from five to seven directors.Robert Masson joined as Interim Chief Financial Officer, bringing more than 20 years of public-company financial leadership.Executive recruiting firm Heidrick & Struggles was engaged to lead the search for the Company's next CEO, with an early slate of highly qualified candidates in hand.A new corporate headquarters is being established in Dallas, complementing the Company's permanent on-site presence in Amarillo.Financial Highlights and Liquidity$243 million of total cash and restricted cash on hand.$785 million of new equipment finance facilities secured during the quarter, anchored by a $500 million facility from MUFG, one of the world's leading infrastructure lenders.$156 million financing commitment secured with Yorkville for general corporate purposes.$421 million of outstanding debt reflecting new borrowings under equipment financing facilities and the full repayment of the Macquarie Term Loan.$189 million net loss in the quarter ($0.30 per diluted share) primarily driven by $134 million of non-cash share-based compensation and a $25 million extinguishment loss on the Macquarie Term Loan.$441 million of capital invested in Property, Plant, and Equipment, bringing the gross balance to approximately $1.4 billion as of quarter end.Future capital deployment will remain disciplined and aligned with commercial progress.Conference Call InformationFermi plans to host a conference call and webcast at 9 a.m. Eastern Time / 2 p.m. British Time today, May 14, 2026, to discuss its first quarter results.To participate, dial (888) 506-0062 in the U.S. or +1 973-528-0011 internationally approximately 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time and refer to conference code 791289.

Toby Neugebauer and His Family Believe Generosity is the Solution to Meet 5/50 REIT Compliance, Should Company Choose to Unnecessarily Elect REIT Status for 2025 and/or 2026May 12, 2026 6:54 PM
PR Newswire (US) DALLAS, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Toby Neugebauer, Co-Founder and largest shareholder of Fermi Inc.

The Neugebauer family, undeterred by threats, believe this is a far better result and are honored to be able to help others in this manner.A certain time after it becomes a REIT by making the relevant tax election, Fermi would be required to meet the 5/50 Rule, meaning that the Company's top five shareholders who are individuals cannot hold more than 50% ownership of Fermi. The Neugebauers believe that electing REIT status for 2025 and/or 2026 serves no material tax purpose today. However, the Neugebauers intend to make these supporting gifts to charitable organizations regardless.Gifting these shares was the Neugebauers' intention all along.

Fermi Board Announces Actions to Confirm No Special Meeting of Shareholders Has Been CalledMay 11, 2026 4:30 PM
PR Newswire (US) Former CEO Toby Neugebauer is Attempting to Fill the Board with His Acolytes to Force a Sale of the Company at a Depressed Valuation – Fermi's Stock Declined More than 80% During Neugebauer's TenureFermi Board Will Continue to Take Actions That it Believes is in the Best Interests of All ShareholdersDALLAS, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ: FRMI) (LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™ ("Fermi" or the "Company"), today announced the unanimous decision by the Risk and Disclosure Committee of its Board of Directors (the "Board") to confirm the prior cancellation of the special meeting of shareholders (the "Special Meeting") former CEO Toby Neugebauer attempted to call on the eve of his removal for cause and scheduled for May 29, 2026. Mr. Neugebauer attempted to call the Special Meeting to appoint five directors to the Board, thereby allowing him to take control of the Board and force the sale of the Company at a depressed valuation. As previously announced, Mr. Neugebauer was removed from the office of CEO and subsequently terminated for cause as a direct result of serious misconduct violating the terms of his employment agreement as well as multiple company policies. The Company did not consider the Special Meeting validly requested, and that request was previously rescinded by the Office of the CEO. Today's action was taken to confirm to shareholders that there is no Special Meeting on May 29, 2026, following Mr. Neugebauer's recent incorrect public statements to the contrary.The Board issued the following statement:While Mr. Neugebauer served as CEO of Fermi, the Company's stock price declined more than 80%. Following his ineffective stint as CEO, and as a result of conduct violating the terms of his employment agreement as well as multiple company policies, the Board determined to terminate Mr. Neugebauer's employment for cause.Mr. Neugebauer's proposals, taken together, would result in Mr. Neugebauer taking control of the Company and advance his stated goal of selling Fermi quickly. The Board believes this conduct reflects the actions of a disgruntled former executive that are not in the interests of the Company's shareholders.The Company believes that Fermi's market valuation does not reflect its intrinsic value, nor does it reflect the upside potential of the successful execution of Fermi 2.0 and the Company's strategic plan. Under the current Board, and following notable achievements for Project Matador across construction, buildout and regulatory milestones, Fermi is well positioned for its next chapter of innovation, operational excellence and client-focused service. As we build on our operational momentum, we believe we will maximize shareholder value.Embarking down the path that would be paved by Mr. Neugebauer's effort to call a Special Meeting will serve only to lock in the value destruction Fermi experienced under his leadership. The Fermi Board will continue to take action that it believes is in the best interests of all shareholders.Under Fermi's bylaws, the Board has authority to cancel any Special Meeting. On April 19, 2026, the Board validly delegated this authority to the Risk and Disclosure Committee.Mr. Neugebauer is also seeking to solicit shareholder consents to hold a second Special Meeting of Shareholders on or about June 30, 2026, for the same purpose of taking control of the Board and forcing a sale of the Company. Fermi believes Mr. Neugebauer's consent solicitation is not in the best interests of its shareholders and recommends that shareholders not tender their consent.About Fermi America™

Fermi Responds to Former CEO's Attempts to Take Control of Board and Reverse Board Actions Taken in Accordance with Their Fiduciary Duties to Remove Him as CEO and Terminate Him for CauseMay 5, 2026 9:04 PM
PR Newswire (US) Fermi Rejects Mr. Neugebauer's Self-Interested Attempt to Call Special Shareholder Meeting as Invalid and Urges Shareholders Not to Respond to His Consent Solicitation Company Has Received Significant Support for Fermi 2.0 from Shareholders Who Firmly Reject Mr. Neugebauer's Purported Efforts to Take Control of Company DALLAS, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ: FRMI) (LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™ ("Fermi" or the "Company"), today responded to two separate SEC filings made by its former chief executive officer Toby Neugebauer, the first to hold an invalidly called Special Meeting of Shareholders, and the second to solicit shareholder consents to call a Special Meeting, a tacit admission of the ineffectiveness of his first request. The Board is disappointed that Mr. Neugebauer has submitted these proposals and is seeking to take control of the Board and Fermi, believes the SEC filings reflect the actions of a disgruntled former CEO who was terminated for cause, and recommends that shareholders not take any action to support either solicitation. Fermi would note that in both requested actions, Mr. Neugebauer has proposed that Fermi reimburse Mr. Neugebauer for all of his costs associated with his efforts to take control of the Board. As previously disclosed, the decisions to remove Mr. Neugebauer from his CEO position and to subsequently terminate him for cause were taken after more than a month of attempts to negotiate a peaceful transition with Mr. Neugebauer, after careful deliberation by the Board and committee members, and in accordance with their fiduciary duties. The Company's stock price performance under Mr. Neugebauer's leadership speaks for itself, with a decline of over 80% on his watch. In addition, Mr. Neugebauer's removal from the office of CEO and subsequent termination for cause was the direct result of conduct violating the terms of his employment agreement as well as multiple company policies.With respect to the first of Mr. Neugebauer's proposals seeking to solicit proxies to vote at a Special Meeting of Shareholders on May 29, 2026, Mr. Neugebauer's Special Meeting request is not valid, has been rescinded by the officers who assumed the offices he once held, and at the time his request was made, by Mr. Neugebauer's own admission, when he knew he was going to be removed as CEO.With respect to the second of Mr. Neugebauer's proposals seeking to solicit shareholder consents to hold a second Special Meeting of Shareholders on or about June 30, 2026, Fermi believes Mr. Neugebauer's consent solicitation is not in the best interests of its shareholders and recommends that shareholders not tender their consent. Shareholders are also advised that Fermi's charter contains multiple provisions to protect its REIT status, one of which is a redemption provision which, upon exercise by the Company, would materially decrease Mr. Neugebauer's ownership position in the Company and another of which prevents Mr. Neugebauer and his family members and affiliates from acquiring additional shares of Company common stock and any new shareholders from accumulating more than 2.5% of the Company's outstanding stock.Considered together, each of Mr. Neugebauer's proposals seeks to expand the size of the Board, fill it with his nominees, take control of the Board and Fermi, and pursue his stated goal of selling Fermi, quickly. Notably, while Mr. Neugebauer's filings state that he "does not intend to return to management," he has made no binding commitment not to seek reappointment as CEO, and his stated lack of intent is expressly conditioned on his preference for a change-of-control transaction – leaving the door open for his return to an executive role if a sale does not materialize. As Fermi has previously indicated, an immediate sale at current trading levels is premature and could result in a transaction far below Fermi's intrinsic value, an outcome clearly not in the best interest of shareholders. Fermi's rejection of the request for an immediate sale has been validated by support from multiple stakeholders and potential counterparties who have expressed support for Fermi's change in leadership. Fermi is gratified that these investors and counterparties have communicated they firmly stand behind Fermi 2.0 and the Company's strategic plan to build on the continued momentum of Project Matador. Given this positive momentum, Mr. Neugebauer's calls for shareholder action are not in the best interest of shareholders, and they appear purposefully designed to derail any success Fermi 2.0 and the Company's strategic plan might achieve. Fermi encourages its shareholders to support the Board, its officers, and employees in making Fermi 2.0 a success.About Fermi America™Fermi America™ (Nasdaq & LSE: FRMI) develops next-generation private electric grids that deliver highly redundant power at gigawatt scale to support next-generation intelligence and AI compute.

SteinAffirms Ongoing Commitment to Project Matador Buildout, Texas Tech Partnership and Serving America's Energy NeedsDALLAS, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. ("Fermi" or the "Company") today announced a series of strategic and leadership initiatives under a new phase of the Company's evolution as it continues to progress along its path to becoming a mature, established entity, well positioned for long-term, sustainable growth. Following notable achievements for Project Matador across construction, buildout and regulatory milestones, these developments will position Fermi for its next chapter of innovation, operational excellence, and client-focused service.
A New Chapter: Fermi 2.0Fermi 2.0 represents a comprehensive progression of the Company's strategic direction, governance structure, and operating platform. Building on its existing strengths, the Company intends to:Deepen its relationships with academic and community partners, including the Texas Tech University System ("TTUS")Enhance the experience and outcomes for its clients and tenantsInvest in talent, technology, and infrastructure from its new Dallas headquarters and Amarillo officeStrengthen governance and leadership succession under an independent, high-caliber BoardMemorialize binding commitments for the first set of client-tenantsCultivate strategic investors including client-tenants, sovereign funds, and third parties whose participation will prove immediately accretive to shareholdersContinue to move forward at "FermiSpeed" with its nuclear buildout"Project Matador has the potential to deliver generational impact—not just for TTUS, but for national security, American energy independence, and the future of advanced research and industry in West Texas," said Chancellor Brandon Creighton. "TTUS remains firmly committed to our partnership with Fermi America and to the long-term opportunity this project represents for our region, our state, and the nation. Building on that progress, we are actively engaged in good-faith discussions to extend certain milestones in the lease agreement as we advance Project Matador into its next phase."Under Fermi 2.0, the Company will implement the following key changes:New LeadershipFermi has announced that, effective immediately, Lead Independent Board Director Marius Haas has stepped into the role of Chairman of the Board. Fermi co-founder Toby Neugebauer has departed from his role as Chief Executive Officer, but he remains a member of the Board."I'm incredibly proud of what our team has built and am honored to step into the position of Chairman," said Haas. "In addition to my role as a director on Fermi's Board since founding, I have served on a number of public company boards and leadership teams in the technology sector. I look forward to lending my expertise to chairing Fermi's Board at an exciting time in the Company's evolution as we continue to execute on the success of Project Matador and identify new leadership for our next chapter." In connection with this transition, Fermi is in negotiations with a candidate to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer. The Company looks forward to sharing details on its Interim CFO this week. Miles Everson has resigned as CFO and has been elected as a Board Director as a result of the exercise of director designation rights held by the Melissa A. Neugebauer 2020 Trust.Additionally, Jeffrey S. Stein has been elected to the Board of Directors, bringing extensive public and private company leadership and energy expertise.Creation of Office of the CEOTo ensure continuity and operational momentum during the CEO transition, Fermi's Board has established a new Office of the CEO that will act as the Company's interim operational leadership team. This office will be composed of Jacobo Ortiz Blanes, previously Chief Operating Officer, and Anna Bofa, previously a Board Advisor, each of whom has been appointed as a Co-President of the Company and share in the responsibilities previously held by Toby Neugebauer. In this capacity, Ortiz Blanes and Bofa will report to Board Chair Haas and collectively oversee day-to-day operations and execution of Fermi 2.0, while a search for a new CEO is underway.Bofa has been an instrumental advisor to Fermi's Board and leadership team, with a track record of building trusted relationships with key partners including TTUS, the Company's shareholders, and—most importantly—its clients and tenants, especially in the tech industry.Ortiz Blanes has led Fermi since its inception and has been pivotal to guiding the company's operational initiatives and driving its growth trajectory through partnerships, shareholder relationships, and the unprecedented buildout of Project Matador."The Office of the CEO is designed to provide stable, experienced leadership during this important transition," said Haas. "Jacobo and Anna each bring critical strengths that will help us maintain operational excellence, deepen our partnerships, and keep our clients and tenants at the center of everything we do."Leadership Search CommitteeFermi's Board of Directors has initiated a formal search process for the Company's next CEO and has engaged leading executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles. A committee composed of Haas and independent directors Lee McIntire and Cordel Robbin-Coker will work in conjunction with Heidrick to identify and recommend CEO candidates who can drive Fermi 2.0 forward and build on the legacy established by its founders."Our mandate is clear," said McIntire. "We are seeking a leader with strong operational expertise, a deep commitment to Fermi's mission, strong public company experience, and a demonstrated ability to work in close partnership with our stakeholders, including our clients, tenants, university and community partners, and shareholders."New Corporate OfficesAs part of Fermi 2.0, the Company will establish a new corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas and will be building out a corporate office presence at its Project Matador site in Amarillo, Texas. These new offices underscore Fermi's commitment to Texas as a strategic hub for its operations, partnerships, and growth, and reflect the Company's maturation from a start-up to a scaled enterprise."Dallas offers world-class talent, a dynamic business environment, and proximity to many of our key stakeholders, and Amarillo provides us with on-site presence to Project Matador's buildout and close proximity to our partners at TTUS," said Bofa."Fermi is evolving from an entrepreneurial start-up culture into a public-company-caliber professional enterprise. Establishing an official presence in Dallas (within a premier office park location to be announced) and Amarillo represents an important step in that evolution. Our new offices will serve as a platform for deeper collaboration with partners and will enhance our ability to serve our clients and tenants," said Ortiz Blanes.Biographies:Marius Haas – Chairman of the BoardMarius Haas is a Founding Partner of BayPine.

PR Newswire (US)
TCEQ Issued Fermi America's First ~6 GW Clean Air Permit on February 25, 2025As Promised, New 5 GW Application Filed Within Weeks of the Site's First 6 GW Clean Air Permit ApprovalWith a Potential 11 GW of Clean Natural Gas, 4.4 GW of Nuclear, Solar and Battery Power, Campus Targets 17 GW of CapacityAMARILLO, Texas, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) (NASDAQ & LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™ today filed an additional 5 GW Clean Air Permit Application with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
The filing, made directly on the heels of Project Matador's first approved 6 GW Clean Air Permit last month reflects Fermi's target of ~17 GW of total power including 11 GW of clean natural gas, combined with nuclear energy, solar and battery sources."America's hyperscalers need power certainty at a scale that the grid simply can't accommodate at this time," said Toby Neugbauer, Co- founder and CEO of Fermi America. "While the industry looks to add measurable power to the grid in the coming years, Fermi has already secured the assets to bring ~2.5 GW of gas-fired power generation (in combined cycle) online."America's energy needs are surging across every sector — from AI and advanced computing to domestic manufacturing, defense, and industrial reshoring. Fermi's private power grid is being built to meet the need without expecting hard-working Americans to foot the bill.As the only private power grid of its kind with over 2 GW of secured long lead time generation assets, an approved ~6 GW Clean Air Permit, a filed 5 GW Clean Air Permit Application, committed equipment finance, and a clear path to 17 GW of power, Fermi America is positioned to meet hyperscaler demand so that America's great innovators can continue to grow with the sense of urgency that this moment in time demands.For media inquiries:

PR Newswire (US)
Fermi America Executes Second Turbine Warehouse Financing Facility in Two Months, Surpassing $865 Million in Equipment Financing for Project MatadorThis Fleet of Siemens Energy Units is Scheduled to Arrive in 2028, Consistent with Project Matador's Scheduled Power RampAMARILLO, Texas, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) (NASDAQ & LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™, today announced that it has secured a $165 million senior secured, first lien delayed draw term loan from CSG Investments, Inc., an affiliate of Beal Bank USA, to finance the remaining progress payments on its previously ordered six Siemens Energy SGT-800-57 gas turbines, with delivery scheduled in 2028.
A private energy campus built to deliver power at true hyperscale so that the world's leading companies can continue innovating at the speed of capitalism — Project Matador combines clean natural gas, advanced nuclear, solar, and battery storage into a single, integrated HyperGrid™. Anchored by Siemens Energy SGT-800 gas turbines as the near-term foundation, the campus is designed to ultimately generate 17GW of firm, low-carbon, on-demand power — with AP1000 advanced nuclear reactors as the long-term backbone. With an approved ~6GW Clean Air Permit, plans to file an additional ~5GW Clean Air Permit, and over $865 million in equipment financing, Project Matador continues to accelerate and execute key milestones that are critical to achieving near and long term success.The Borrower of the facility is Fermi Turbine Warehouse II LLC, a wholly owned special purpose entity of Fermi Inc.The transaction follows Fermi America's $500 million turbine warehouse facility with MUFG Bank, Ltd. and the ~$200 million facility from Keystone National Group, both closed in February 2026."Every dollar of capital we secure is highly intentional and is a vote of confidence in Project Matador," said Toby Neugebauer, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Fermi America. "At a time when supply chain logs for long lead time items and connection queues are holding back America's leading companies, Fermi is helping provide the ramp needed to access clean, redundant power certainty in an uncertain market.""We have tremendous respect for the CSG and Beal Bank USA teams - they brought real expertise in asset finance to this transaction and moved with speed and professionalism at every step," affirmed John Donovan, Executive Vice President of Capital Markets for Fermi America. "This facility is a testament to the growing institutional confidence in Project Matador's asset quality and our team's ability to execute. We look forward to deepening this relationship as we continue to scale our platform."Key Financing Highlights$165 million senior secured, first lien delayed draw term loan with CSG Investments, Inc., an affiliate of Beal Bank USARepeatable warehouse structure designed to support future turbine equipment purchases prior to project financingFinances six Siemens Energy SGT-800-57 (57MW) gas turbines with deliveries scheduled in pairs throughout 2028Funds 100% of remaining Siemens Energy progress payment obligationsVinson & Elkins LLP served as Fermi's transaction counsel and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP served as Lender's Counsel.Fermi America recognizes Siemens Energy for its continued partnership in securing these long-lead, high-demand generation assets central to Project Matador's power delivery timeline.America's demand for firm, reliable, private power has never been greater. Hyperscalers, defense contractors, semiconductor manufacturers, and advanced computing operators are confronting the same reality: the public grid was not designed for the voracious compute needs of AI, nor should ratepayers fund the solution.For media inquiries:

PR Newswire (US)
New Permit to be Filed Within Weeks of the Site's First 6GW Clean Air Permit ApprovalSignals Project Matador's Plans for 17GW of Total Campus Power, Making It Largest in the WorldAdding additional high-paying construction jobs and permanent careers to the Texas PanhandleAMARILLO, Texas, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) (NASDAQ & LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™, in partnership with the Texas Tech University System (TTU System), today announced its intention to file an additional 5GW Clean Air Permit with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
The announcement made right on the heels of Project Matador's first 6GW Clean Air Permit, approved two weeks ago, signals the campus' plan to achieve ~17GW of total power including 11GW of clean natural gas, 4.4GW of nuclear energy, solar and battery sources."Leave it to Texas to answer the call for America's energy crisis," stated Toby Neugebauer, Co-Founder and CEO of Fermi America. "Why would we settle for 6GW of clean natural gas when the country needs more power, not less, and our site is beyond capable of safely producing 11GW? Fermi is pleased to steward this land and environment well, while creating additional high-paying jobs and economic development for the region."With winter storms causing grid power issues and President Trump's recent Ratepayer Protection Pledge, the only answer is private power grids. America's energy needs are surging across every sector — from AI and advanced computing to domestic manufacturing, defense, and industrial reshoring. The public grid was not designed to scale at the speed of AI, nor should hard-working Americans foot the bill.As the only private grid campus of its kind with over 2GW of secured long lead time generation assets, an approved ~6GW Clean Air Permit, equipment finance, and a clear path to 17GW of power, Fermi America is positioned to meet hyperscaler demand so that America's great innovators can continue to grow at the speed of capitalism.

Fermi America™ Chief Nuclear Construction Officer Mesut Uzman Addresses NRC Regulatory Information Conference 2026, Showcasing Project Matador's Position as America's Most Advanced Nuclear BuildMarch 11, 2026 7:25 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Project Matador Holds the Only Active Combined Operating License Application Accepted by the NRC in More Than 15 Years — Greenlight by NRC to Break Ground ImmediatelyFermi America's Nuclear Program Advances in Lockstep with President Trump's Executive Orders to Restore American Nuclear LeadershipUzman Highlights Strategic Partnerships with Westinghouse, Hyundai E&C, and Doosan as Necessary to Lock Up Long Lead Time Assets and Deliver 4.4 GW of New Nuclear on Time, on BudgetAMARILLO, Texas, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) (NASDAQ & LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™, in partnership with the Texas Tech University System (TTU System), today announced that Mesut Uzman, Chief Nuclear Construction Officer of Fermi America, took the stage at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Regulatory Information Conference (NRC RIC 2026) in Rockville, Maryland — the nation's premier annual forum where nuclear policy, regulation, and industry execution converge.
"We are answering the President's call to jumpstart America's nuclear renaissance," said Mesut Uzman, Chief Nuclear Construction Officer of Fermi America. "The only site construction-ready today, we have secured the talent, the only active large nuclear power plant COL application in progress with the NRC, and the best global nuclear partners in Hyundai E&C and Doosan Enerbility, given their track record of building dozens of reactors successfully across the globe.""China is building 30+ reactors today," added Fermi America CEO Toby Neugebauer. "Fermi did exactly what the President mandated at Fermi speed to jumpstart nuclear on American soil. Once the U.S. Government approves Project Matador for Korean investment under the recently approved Korean trade deal, we are the only site that will be ready to break ground on nuclear in 2026, a feat no one thought possible."Uzman represented the only project in America with a large-scale LWR combined license application accepted by the NRC in more than 15 years — and the only one ready to break ground. He joined an elite panel for the session "T4 Critical Links: Strengthening the Nuclear Supply Chain for Tomorrow's Reactors," sharing the floor with Mr. Matthew Vazquez, Senior Director of Standards and Certification at ASME; Mr. Rajwant Jolly, Manager of Quality at Bechtel Corporation; Mr. Sean Jones, Vice President of APX Supply Chain at Westinghouse; and Mr. HyeonSoo Kim, Director at Doosan Enerbility.The composition of the panel speaks directly to Fermi America's position at the center of America's nuclear industrial base. Westinghouse and Doosan Enerbility are both strategic partners in Project Matador's nuclear program. Their joint appearance alongside Fermi America at the NRC's most prominent annual forum signals the depth and seriousness of the partnerships driving Project Matador forward.In just nine months, Fermi America has assembled the partnerships, permits, personnel, and property to position Project Matador as the only nuclear project ready to deliver on President Trump's executive orders to restore American nuclear leadership:Fermi America filed the first Combined Operating License (COLA) in more than 15 years, accepted by the NRC for review last September.Fermi America has secured a 99-year lease from the Texas Tech University System on property adjacent to Pantex — the Department of Energy facility that has stewarded America's nuclear arsenal for 70 years.Fermi has retained the world's leading nuclear construction experts, a team, including Uzman, with a combined track record of 16 reactors successfully built on time and on budget across the globe.Fermi has partnered with Westinghouse, Hyundai E&C, and Doosan — forging the international ties required to lock up long lead time assets necessary to deliver on the President's executive orders.Hyundai E&C has committed to providing Fermi America favorable contract terms for AP1000 reactor construction at Project Matador, consistent with the proven performance of their domestic Korean nuclear builds and the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant successfully delivered in the UAE. Fermi has launched its FEED study, with a proposal to break ground on 4.4 GW of nuclear construction at Project Matador on July 4th — with the President.The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has granted final approval of the nation's second largest Clean Air Permit, covering 6 GW of clean natural gas power generation at the 11 GW campus as a bridge to nuclear power.Korea's leading nuclear industrial champions — Hyundai E&C and Doosan Enerbility — have entered into formal contractual relationships with Fermi America and have designated Project Matador as a top priority within their U.S. nuclear portfolios, bringing decades of proven reactor construction expertise to America's most advanced nuclear build.Project Matador is designed to answer the nation's call at a pivotal moment. As AI infrastructure, semiconductor fabrication, advanced manufacturing, and defense modernization drive an unprecedented surge in electricity demand, America needs gigawatt-scale, reliable, clean power that the public grid was never designed to deliver. Project Matador's 11 GW behind-the-meter private power grid — combining natural gas, AP1000 nuclear, solar, and battery storage — is built to meet that demand without burdening ratepayers or straining the public grid.Uzman underscored the critical role of international partnerships in delivering Project Matador on schedule. "We cannot achieve this epic goal by ourselves," Uzman said. "We are working with Doosan, Hyundai E&C, and Westinghouse — and Hyundai has been involved in the construction of 18-plus nuclear reactors in recent decades without liquidated damages. That is an unmatched global track record."Fermi America's nuclear program advances in direct alignment with President Trump's executive orders to accelerate domestic nuclear deployment, restore American nuclear manufacturing, and ensure the United States wins the AI and energy race with China.For media inquiries:

FRMI Court Alert: Fermi Inc. Investors File Securities Fraud Class Action Following Cancellation of $150 Million Customer Agreement – Contact BFA Law by March 6 DeadlineFebruary 26, 2026 7:07 AM
Business Wire
Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ: FRMI), certain of the Company’s senior executives and directors, and underwriters of Fermi’s Initial Public Offering after a significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in Fermi, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/fermi-inc-class-action-lawsuit.
Key Details of the Fermi ($FRMI) Class Action:
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: March 6, 2026
Alleged Misconduct: Misstatements regarding tenant demand and funding
Stock Decline: November 13, 2025 – 33% Stock Drop
Court: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights
Investors have until March 6, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Fermi securities, as well as claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired Fermi common stock pursuant and traceable to the Company’s Initial Public Offering. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Lupia v. Fermi Inc., et al., No. 1:26-cv-00050.
Why is Fermi Being Sued for Violations of the Federal Securities Laws?
Fermi is an energy and AI infrastructure company that purportedly intends to build multiple, large scale nuclear reactors to support its own network of large, grid-independent data centers powered by nuclear and other energy to power AI companies. Fermi’s first project is Project Matador, its flagship, first-of-its kind energy and AI infrastructure campus designed to provide dedicated power for AI workloads.
Fermi completed its IPO in October 2025. In the IPO Registration Statement, Fermi represented that it “entered into a letter of intent . . . with an investment grade-rated tenant (the ‘First Tenant’) to lease a portion of the Project Matador Site . . . for an initial lease term of twenty years.” The Company also represented there was strong demand for Project Matador and that construction of the facility would be funded by “tenant payments” and “lease agreements.” Following the IPO, Fermi announced that the First Tenant entered into an Advance in Aid of Construction Agreement, through which it would advance up to $150 million to Fermi to fund Project Matador construction costs.
As alleged, in truth, Fermi overstated tenant demand for Project Matador and misrepresented the agreement with the First Tenant.
Why did Fermi’s Stock Drop?
On December 12, 2025, Fermi disclosed that “[o]n December 11, 2025, the First Tenant notified the Company that it is terminating the [Advance of Aid of Construction Agreement]” after “[t]he exclusivity period set forward in the letter of intent expired.” Fermi also stated that it had “commenced discussions with several other potential tenants” and “continue[s] to negotiate the terms of a lease agreement at Project Matador” with the First Tenant. This news caused the price of Fermi stock to drop $5.16 per share, or more than 33%, from a closing price of $15.25 per share on December 11, 2025, to $10.09 per share on December 12, 2025.

Fermi America™ Secures Final 6GW Clean Air Permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for World's Largest 11 GW Private Power GridFebruary 25, 2026 4:41 PM
PR Newswire (US)
Final Air Permit Positions Fermi America Years Ahead, Having Already Contractually Secured Over 2 GW of Long Lead Time Natural Gas Generation AssetsSecures Key Regulatory Milestone, Positioning Fermi America to Mobilize Previously Announced Gas Generation Units and Supports Transition to Vertical Power Generation ConstructionBehind-the-Meter Model Preserves Public Grid Reliability and Protects Consumers and Small Businesses from Higher Utility RatesAMARILLO, Texas, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) NASDAQ & LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™ in partnership with the Texas Tech University System (TTU System), today announced that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has granted final approval of the nation's second largest Clean Air Permit for 6 gigawatts (GW) of clean natural gas-based power generation at its landmark 11 GW Project Matador campus.
TCEQ approval confirms compliance with state and federal emissions standards and is a significant regulatory milestone, granting the Clean Air Permit required to begin the vertical phase of power generation construction.With air permitting secured — one of the longest lead-time approvals for large-scale energy infrastructure — Project Matador now advances into the final stages of the project finance and tenant negotiations phase. As the project transitions into the next phase of execution, Fermi America is positioned to mobilize its previously announced Siemens Energy SGT-800 gas turbine fleet, six assets currently in the port of Houston, Texas, to the Amarillo campus.The TCEQ approval underscores Texas's leadership in enabling high-impact private energy infrastructure while protecting consumer utility costs and strengthening national energy security."When it comes to responsible, scalable energy production, it's no surprise that Texas is leading the way," said Toby Neugebauer, Co-Founder and CEO of Fermi America. "We appreciate Governor Abbott's leadership, the State of Texas, and the TCEQ for their diligence in this process, while protecting the grid and ensuring that Texas ratepayers aren't left footing the bill for private AI power demand. And we are grateful for the incredible support of the Amarillo community, where we look forward to adding thousands of jobs and billions of dollars to the region's economy.""Securing the second largest Clean Air Permit in the country is yet one more significant milestone for our 11 GW private grid campus," added Fermi America Chief Communications Officer and Director of Strategic Initiatives, Cathy Landtroop. "With the issuance of today's air permit, the support of our fellow West Texans, and Toby's foresight to lock up over 2 GW of long lead time power assets, Fermi is uniquely positioned to help America's hyperscalers quickly secure the private power they need at scale."The permit follows a rigorous environmental and public review process, including technical evaluation by TCEQ engineers, air quality modeling to confirm compliance with state and federal standards, and a public notice and comment period. Final issuance confirms the project meets all applicable air quality requirements under Texas law and the federal Clean Air Act and that it will be protective of public health and the environment. Post additional analysis, environmental experts anticipate Project Matador will ultimately support up to 11 GW of clean natural gas, which the company intends to pursue.Project Matador is positioned at a pivotal moment as the United States enters a historic surge in electricity demand driven by AI, advanced manufacturing, industrial electrification, reshoring of critical supply chains, EV adoption, defense modernization, and the expansion of the digital economy. As grid capacity tightens in key regions, large commercial and industrial users are increasingly seeking dedicated, scalable generation solutions. Project Matador's gigawatt-scale platform is designed to meet this structural load growth, strengthen American competitiveness, and provide long-term, reliable power without burdening the public grid.For media inquiries:
