**Neugebauer Fermi Shareholder Update Call**

**"Securing Maximum Value for Fermi Shareholders"**

**May 21, 2026**

**<u>Participants</u>**

Toby Neugebauer - Co-Founder, Fermi America

**<u>Operator:</u>**

Good afternoon. Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Neugebauer Fermi Shareholder Update Call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. Legal disclaimers for this call are at the start of the presentation for you to review shortly.

I'd now like to turn the call over to Toby Neugebauer, the Co-Founder and largest shareholder of Fermi America.

**<u>Toby Neugebauer - Co-Founder, Fermi America:</u>**

I intended to join this call, this webinar by video today, but I've had an allergic reaction and my face is swollen up like Will Smith in the movie Hitch. The sight of my face may hurt the stock price as the rumor will be that the proxy fight has turned physical. But seriously, I wanted to have this webinar because I think communicating through press releases and reporters is not the best way for the shareholders and other stakeholders to make the best decisions for Fermi.

There's been a lot written about me, my motivations, and my state of mind. Well, I want to be able to tell you directly where I am is in a state of deep pride of what Fermi accomplished in the last 15 months. It's just too hard to take the joy of the accomplishment away. Obviously, I'm disappointed that I will not lead it. But again, I'm so proud of what we accomplished and it is the driver of my thoughts on what should happen next.

I want to take my grandkids in 2035 to Amarillo and show them America's largest energy campus, the largest platform for generating AI compute. So my view is the next steward of this amazing project brings together the 3Cs. And what I mean by that is the natural owner of the asset will be someone with a low cost of capital. This will be one of the most capital intensive projects in the world. The second natural owner of the asset is someone with strong construction capability.

We bring a really good power construction team, but I think we want the natural owner will be great at the constructing of data centers. The third one, it's either a customer or it's someone who has customers. I just do want to set the record straight. We were not looking for customers at our departure on April 17. We were working on delivering on expanded ask by customer groups. My sons hate it when I say this. The way I looked at it is we set out to sell steak and the market loved our steak so much they wanted us to add lobster.

And we were out looking for the lobster and in the data center world, that was the cooling, the MEP, we talked about at the earnings call. Well, when I originally put together this presentation, I was hoping you'd be able to hear a diversity of voices. But unfortunately compliance requires that it just be me. What I want to do with the purpose of this presentation is to explain to you why we're calling a special shareholder meeting to elect a new board majority. The thing that we believe is critical is that Fermi must explore every option and the shareholders must have a strong voice in that decision.

As I've said over and over, we cannot be more proud of what we built at Project Matador. It is a uniquely rare asset, but we are entering into a new set of risks as we transition from laying the initial groundwork and infrastructure into the actual construction of both the power generation and the data centers themselves. As we see where the business lies today, I think we see four major risks that warrant an evaluation of all the options. Leasing price risk. I think this is one of the things that concern our family the most.

It's not just good enough to get a tenant. We need a tenant deal that sets a precedent for the terminal value of the campus for the next 11 years. And I know there's a general thought that, Hey, you can get a better deal on the next deal. I don't know I believe that as much. In my conversations, I'm picking a name. Microsoft doesn't want to subsidize Alpha, Meta doesn't want to subsidize Amazon. And the terms will be pretty transparent.

The other issue is the financing risk. And whether we like it or not, it's changed our cost of capital. What got me to realize that the asset needed a strategic review is I do believe our cost of capital and the intensity of the capital associated with potentially needing the money for the MEP has gone up at the same time, which gets us to dilution risk.

And Fermi 2.0, really to me, this is Fermi 3.0. We started Fermi 2.0 in December as we prepared for this next phase of execution. But the bottom line is the capital intensity combined with our increased cost of capital has made the risk for dilution to the existing shareholders very, very high. Counterparty risk across our customers, our contractors and vendors. Our remedy is an independent dual track process that evaluates every market outcome before irreversible value and market opportunity is lost.

It involves an independent committee led by leading bankers. It is not taking away the company's desire to go look for and enter into a contracts with tenants. And we just want an evidence based decision. We want a board that hasn't made a preconceived determination on what the outcome should be. We want a board that wants to evaluate all of the options so that we can maximize value.

How did we get here? There are five reasons. Again, the board refused to run a process and the shareholders, I think deserve one. The second problem with our company, and you're going to see it in the chart later on, is the stock overhang caused by the Pencross showing their interest in October and November had led to a severe stock overhang issue. So that even while we execute, we don't get the benefit of the execution as we're going to show you in the chart later on.

And then when you add the drama associated with our family's position, you've just made an overhang issue even more dramatic. Time to power is an asset. Any delay that we get in this process erodes the premium that the buyer will pay. The bottom line, to quote, Goose from Top Gun, "I feel the need, the need for speed". The reason we all feel the need for speed is because it will determine the market premium that we get.

The beautiful part of the dual track process is it gets the people focused on just leasing it, the pressure of knowing that they're competing against people who want to buy it. And the same thing happens is the people who want to buy it have to be competitive with the economics that we could get from a lease agreement. So the Neugebauer family has 240 million reasons to want to get the best terminal value for this thing, period. As I said, I'm not seeking the CEO role. I think it is not because of my view of the job that occurred. I think it is the cost of capital problem.

This is not a one outcome solution. When we sought new board members, only thing we ask for them is just tell us what you think the best outcome is for this company. We understand our period of stewardship over this asset is over, but what now we want to do is end that stewardship by making sure every shareholder gets the maximum value and it's not just the maximum value, the maximum risk adjusted outcome. We do have an extraordinary thing that we've built.

We've tied up one of the most valuable pieces of real estate on the planet. We have 50 full time employees with expertise in developing power assets, which I think is going to be a really competitive advantage. As you know, we've secured two plus gigawatts of generation capacity that is secured. We've got more coming on the way. We've got water. We've got the clean air permit.

Obviously, we were highly successful in financing facilities. We installed the gas pipeline, the water pipeline in record time. And then our leadership on coal is pretty much what everyone in the world is now adopting, the Fermi nuclear strategy. So what makes this valuable is that our platform is difficult to replicate at speed.

So we have five connected assets, each valuable, independently, see, a world class platform. And if you talk to anyone in this business right now, it's all about speed to token. And there's no other place on the planet you can get to speed to token at scale over the next five years than Project Matador. As you can see what we did on the construction side. This isn't a PowerPoint. This is a reality.

And again, I can't be more proud of the speed at which we were able to execute. So again, many of you all have been to the site. I don't know how many helicopter tours. I think they said we did 150 helicopter tours. People just were blown away. And that you want to talk about the key to getting customers? It's not charm, even though Noah, my son, who was in charge of our interactions with our customers is incredibly charming. It's about execution. These are huge projects. They have experienced delays in almost all of their other projects.

And so when you want to get a customer, what they really want to know is, are you going to do what you said you're going to do when you're going to do it? And what they saw from Fermi is something they had not witnessed in any of their other projects in the world. Unfortunately, the execution, and I'm going to start with the execution is you look at the story of the stock, not reflective of what really has happened at the company in terms of execution. We'll talk about the tenant delay here in a minute. Absent the tenant delay, we did everything we said we were going to do essentially when we said we were going to do it on the roadshow.

But what we were coming up against is if you all remember, the original IPO was 35 million shares. Through a series of unfortunate events, there was a shareholder, frankly, I thought who had non-voting shares. So I wasn't worried about his lockup, who had 56 million shares of stock. He has partners, office partners with Griffin Perry, and they began exploring liquidity when the stock was at the higher levels, both in Europe and in New York. Originally, we had hoped that that would occur through a strategic sale to someone accretive, but they began showing the block into the open market.

And I was forced to pledge his shares on October 31. At that time, the stock was at right under $30 a share. And even with the good news with the AICA and all of the positive things, I have three, the Water being approved, the AICA with Tenant 1 being approved, the stock declines by 46% before the announcement of postpone. And again, that first announcement was a postponement of the negotiations with Tenant 1. Those continued on into February, But you can see we had already lost 46% of the value.

And so you've got a block being shopped that's huge, and then you have the bad news around the AICA being terminated, and it just put us in a tough position with the stock. Then when you go into January and February, we had an awesome February where we got the Siemens units delivered, we got the MUFG bank facility done, we got the $100 million Keystone Equipment loan. We got the clean air permit approved. And every one of those days, we would get like five to six percent, but then we'd just get crushed with people. It was kind of like Whack-a-Mole.

We would get success and get a pop, then Whack-a-Mole down. So that is where we saw Pencross doing another sale. And again, I view these events in the '06, '07, and '08, '09. When Pencross is out there in that market, it's just really hard for us to get momentum on the stock. Then what we then had coming into the earnings lockup was things were going really good. I was terminated, the stock was up 38%. And I think we would have had even more than that. We were coming up with the -- when you think about that, Griffin had said he was selling, and then we had the lockup expiration for all of the early pre-IPO investors.

So we were really feeling the momentum go our way. And then obviously when they terminated me, we had a pretty bad day. You take out the drama outside of the execution. So let's definitely, we'll own the AICA termination, but you take out the drama, you have a 46% drop from the Pencross block sale. You have another 6% drop from the Pencross block sale. So that gets us to 52. Then you have another 13 with Griffin's sale.

And then you take another 22% from the termination of me, you can see this isn't an execution story, this is an external story. And the point is there's nothing kind of what I said before, there's no need to cry over the spilled milk. I think this has impaired this stock's cost of capital moving forward. So that's just what we want to do is going about making sure we make the best decisions just in light of the fact that now there's another 240 million share overhang on this stock, and let's just figure it all out together.

Our thesis for our go to market transaction, we have been working, looking at strategic options for our block, obviously. And so we have had engagement with investment bankers and have a really good feel for one independent process. The new independent board would evaluate credible structures within both paths of the same framework. A change of control transaction, credible structures, with a cash stock mix, controlling stake, full acquisitions, we're indifferent. The new slate of Directors, I've told them, I bring no preconceived notion on what it looks like. So again, in order to deal with our increased cost of capital, that's just embedded into our shares today, what we're proposing is a dual track process.

The new board pursues the M&A transaction and the management team continues its tenant strategy. I can tell you on the new board, our view is we are open to anything. I'm like, I really don't care and bring no preconceived notion to the table. I want the best risk adjusted outcome for the shareholders. Obviously, we are the largest.

And as it relates to the management team to continue its tenant strategy, go get them. No one's rooting you on more than us. But what we are is we're very cautious about, it's not just the price, the headline price, which that matters, but it's also the terms and specifically around the performance penalties and all of those things. These are big contracts. They're complicated contracts. And we just want to make sure that all of those risks are embedded into our decision-making. So when we think about the buyers, okay, is two kinds. You've got that, what I call the bottleneck strategics. These are people that must have power. So that includes your chip makers, your hyperscalers, that's your developers.

If you were around me on a daily basis, what's he talking about? I'm saying the word three Cs non-stop all the time. And it's really how I think about who's the natural steward for this asset. And first of all, it's cost of capital. This will be, I believe, one of the most capital intensive projects in the world. And we're showing $70 billion for Phase 1 through 4. That depends on if we're providing the lobster, i.e. the MEP, these numbers could get even higher. So one of the big things I've learned being in the energy business for a long time is cost of capital matters because it's your most expensive cost.

The second is a customer. I think of it, this asset belongs to someone who has customers or is a customer. And then finally, construction. As we have great competency at Fermi around the energy construction component being able to take it from the energy construction component to AI compute ready, the group that's naturally going to navigate or go towards this asset is going to have a great path towards construction.

So when I look at that, I got to six categories of buyers. The hyperscalers are rapidly becoming leaders in the construction of their own projects. The oil and gas majors, I think longer term, it may be too soon today for them, but they have the cost of capital and they have the construction credibility. The data center developers understand that the grid power game is over, and so they know they're going to need to get into the business of developing the power.

What Fermi offers them is a plug and play team ready to get that started today. Obviously, we're getting interest from the infrastructures and the PE sovereign wealth funds, especially your infrastructure funds. They're used to large scale energy projects. So it's something they can -- a lot of these were big energy people that then gravitated into the data center development based on their being able to manage and finance large scale projects.

Some of these NeoClouds, the word "neo" doesn't even feel appropriate for a trillion dollar new company. These people are trying to lock up their path to growth. Their companies are being valued on very high growth rates, so they are a natural, some of these would be companies I would really like to have shares in. So when I look through this list, which one I want -- cash from or which one I want stock, I probably could spend the rest of the afternoon philosophizing with you all on that.

And then I think the natural people that need to buy this are the chips companies. I think they're quickly realizing they can't sell more chips than there is power to buy those. And there is no place that they can bring their customers to Project Matador and show them a clear path to significant amount of AI token production. What we've been looking at is we're numbers people at our shop and is what does the value of a gigawatt get to each buyer type. So a data center developer, we would expect them to make about $990 million off of the gigawatt of power at our site.

And then you start looking at the hyperscaler, because they're closer to that token compute. They can make up $5.6 billion per gigawatt annual EBITDA. And but then I get to the chip companies and I know one right now is just hot to trot for it that is more than capable of buying it. And the reason they're hot to trot is, we estimate with our bankers that they could make a $10.5 billion of annual EBITDA offer providing the chips to that business. So you can see that we have an asset that really can move the needle for these companies.

So when you look at the multiples and you all on this call know these multiples better than I do, but you look at the data center developers, they're trading at about 20x. The hyperscalers are trading at 15x, but really their growth businesses are really trading higher and their more legacy businesses are trading lower. So I argue that the forward multiple for the hyperscalers for the AI compute business is actually higher and that the more mature businesses is lower. And then the chip and semiconductor businesses are 22.

So you take those numbers of estimated EBITDA and then you look at the forward multiples and you can see why we're believing that this board must take a hard look at a strategic transaction. Now, I think one of my favorite ideas and almost did the nuclear separate to begin with. And I believe our nuclear business is way more diverse than just the AP1000s. Having said that, I believe the AP1000s are going to get built. I think the smart heads are going to prevail in Washington. I think the Koreans remain committed to it.

But we also have other types. We have other SMR companies that are interested in at the site, and we have some of the derivative companies that are going to provide services in and around the nuclear industry that are very interested in the site. And what's great about our nuclear business is we have two of the top executives in the world. When you've got Mesut, who's our domestic partner -- leader, and then you have Dr. Choi in Korea, who's, really, expertise in this is unmatched. So I have absolutely advocated and almost to this day regret not bringing the nuclear business out.

So we're thinking of everything. I think we've had a lot of drama in the press and right out of the gate, I wrote a very positive press release. As I said already in this call, I believe Fermi's days are brighter ahead. And I did call for a review of all the possible transactions to maximize value for all shareholders. The company within 24 hours said that it was not interested. The word on the street is that a couple of bankers have reached out to them, gave them very specific, wonderful names that were interested in a strategic transaction, and the board made it clear it was not interested in engaging.

If I'm willing to not make it a personal thing about them, and do the right thing for the company, I would just ask them to consider us doing the right thing and evaluating all of our options. Kind of in the 27 days, the Board has been incredibly aggressive. I think everybody's read the release. Bottom line is, I have never received a negative view, a letter of how we're running the business wrong ever.

I have sent multiple letters to this Board starting in January outlining concerns I've had with governance and things happening at the board level. And not here to defend it. Bottom line, all we're asking for is a vote. The latest stunt is just devastating to this new Texas equity capital markets we're trying to create here when you basically raise the threshold for decisions in the middle of a dispute.

So say they wanted to do that in January or at the beginning, but changing the rules in the middle of the game, the analogy we use for it is, we're playing basketball, and they took away the rim on our side because they were afraid we were going to hit the goal. And that's not a way to treat people. It's not the way to treat shareholders. Bottom line, they came up with their number based on what they thought. The insiders have about 22.5% of the shares.

So what we want to do is, one of my favorites, I know you're tired of the movie analogies, but we had the horse racing season and my favorite one is Seabiscuit where we want a match race. We just want to vote and it's not a predetermined vote on whether it's a strategic sale, it's not a predetermined vote, whether it's a tenant deal, it's a post new board vote on what's in the best interest of our company. And that's all we're out to do.

Now, I want to talk about the people that I brought in for our board slate. I have no prior relationship with anybody here except Toby Neugebauer. I take that back. I've known Juan peripherally for a while, but David Daglio is the former CIO of Mellon Investments, very qualified person. Charles Elson is one of the top corporate governance advisors in the country. John, I loved because he's been doing big projects for BP around the world. So he can help us evaluate our construction risk relative to an outright sale.

Janet is a dynamo and I hope to be involved with her longer term. She's a significant energy background and I think you all will be more impressed as you get to know her. Juan is the former Vice Chairman, PwC Global Advisory. He led it. And then he's been one of the key directors at Wells Fargo. So in terms of how to run a rodeo, to use a Texas phrase, Juan's background is second to none.

Sheila is the same way. She's been doing this at the highest levels for a long time. So again, but what I really went out to do was to just go find the best people that I thought would give an honest assessment and add to the governance of the company. Right now, the company has essentially been hijacked into a kind of a three person committee and we've had governance issues going on for a while and we need to get back to traditional, what I call Texas style, which is the golden rule governance with this company.

The engagement is already underway. Everyone already knows about Fermi, right. There's been four rounds of institutional investors. The hyperscalers have been engaged. Obviously, the hyperscalers almost all have been there. Most of them have been there multiple times. They've all been in the data rooms. So what's great about it is we're not introducing a new concept. And I think we can have, by June 30, we will know exactly across those six buyer categories. There's about 30 really legitimate buyers and that's what's great about it.

This isn't like we got to get three buyers. I mean, we have 30 legitimate across six buyer categories and our banker shortlist is complete. I think we can have the process almost, I think we could get the meeting done by June 30th, I don't see any reason that we don't know who the owner is by August 1st. Again, I don't think this is going to take a long period of time. So we think, start to finish from today, it's kind of a 75-day process.

I hate to be, "This part of company's claim versus facts." It feels a little defensive. I was hoping somebody else would be able to do this, but I've talked about the stock decline. We had a 35 million share IPO. Mr. Perry and Mr. Mizell office together and have been communicating their intents and to provide to dispose of those shares in the market since October. And it's just been incredibly hard for me to every -- it's like every time we get some momentum, we get basically what was going on at the company is the management team was feeling like they were only working for Stephen Mizell so that every time they created a success that it was being absorbed in the stock through the stock overhang. It has been my number one issue at the company. In the letter I wrote to the board, this overhang issue was critical.

Intent, it is not an ill-advised attempt for immediate sale. My heart is completely in the right place. As I said, I intend to be out with my grandkids on that site in 2035, and I would do nothing to jeopardize not seeing that happen. I am unaware of the cause after a careful comprehensive process. We'll be pushing back pretty hard on that. I think the market has the article in the Wall Street Journal, there has been significant differences between Governor Perry and myself. That is an accurate report, but there's -- but not a text or an email saying, I think you should do this better or that better. I'm was caught off-guard on that one.

The proof is out there. The execution I will put what this team accomplished in the last 15 months of any start up and that we can't transact. I mean, you go look at the volume of transaction from the -- I mean, just the sheer number of deals we had to make to get this company in this place. And on the execution side, I was in the process. The real Fermi 2.0, you can ask any member of the management team, started in December as I prepared this company to have better contracting, better accountability on the cost at the site in preparation for deploying billions of dollars.

And we lost seven really great people as a result of this event. And frankly, I think they would have lost more if it hasn't been my encouragement, encouraging people that the days ahead are great for Fermi, and they are going to get to build the world's largest energy complex and just hold on.

I hear the public valuation. I think we've talked about the overhang problem, the near-term liquidity. You know, what we did every day is from three to four, and we did liquidity as the senior leadership team, and I'm talking about 20 people on, we would do liquidity management. In terms of I had gotten some very favorable refunds coming, I'm afraid those are the people who complained to the board about me the most were the people I was demanding some refunds from overbilling. Tenant negotiations, I said it in our May 30th earnings call that the tenants had bought the steak, they wanted lobster, and we were going out to procure the lobster and to be able to finance it, i.e., the cooling.

So bottom line, this is about shareholders should decide the future Fermi. This is about achieving maximum value for everybody. As I said, this is a shareholder democracy issue for me, and this shouldn't even be this hard. We shouldn't be spending any money or legal, which we're spending way too much on, to do what's the right thing for everybody and that's to let the shareholders decide.

Another thing I would point out as we close out here is in my conversations with the people, the most knowledgeable stakeholders in the business, they are all for a dual track process. And again, these are people from key vendors and suppliers to large shareholders and echoing our point of view.

And finally, as we close this call out, I want to say to my former colleagues, I want to say to the city of Amarillo and all the Fermi stakeholders, I am certain that Project Matador's best days are ahead of it. And as I started the call with, I cannot wait to take Melissa and my grandkids to Amarillo in 2035 to show them what our family had the privilege to conceive and launch.

**Toby Neugebauer Details Strategic Plan to Maximize Value for Fermi Shareholders During Today's Investor Presentation**

*Mr. Neugebauer has called for a shareholder meeting to elect highly qualified slate of new, independent board<br> members willing to run a full strategic process and weigh all opportunities that maximize shareholder value*

 

*Mr. Neugebauer outlines core belief: Fermi is a world class company and Project Matador is a world class <br> asset – deserving of the right stewards to realize its full potential*

DALLAS, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Toby Neugebauer, co-founder and largest shareholder of Fermi Inc. ("Fermi" or the "Company"), today hosted a presentation clearly defining an optimal 75-day plan to maximize value for all Fermi shareholders.

"I couldn't be prouder of my and the team's execution in the last 15 months. We built a world class asset in Project Matador, and my sole focus is on ensuring Fermi reaches its full potential – I want to take my grandkids in ten years' time to Amarillo to show them America's largest energy campus and largest platform for generating AI compute.

To do so and fulfill our obligations to shareholders, we need to evaluate every strategic path for the company at Fermi speed – that is why I've nominated a highly-qualified, independent board slate to conduct a dual-track process that includes both a full-market-value sale or strategic partnership, alongside evaluation of the standalone tenant plan.

I have never been more optimistic about the future of Fermi America, and I am certain that Project Matador's best days are yet to come. I will continue to do everything in my power to support my former colleagues, ensure shareholder interests are protected, investment value is maximized, and the city of Amarillo and Texas Panhandle get the high-paying jobs and economic development they deserve," said Toby Neugebauer.

The plan laid out by Mr. Neugebauer involves:

● **A shareholder-called special meeting to elect seven new members to the Fermi board.** All shareholders deserve an independent board laser-focused on evaluating all opportunities and maximizing value.

● **A dual-path process that includes a full-market-value sale or strategic partnership, alongside evaluation of the standalone plan.** There are many credible potential counterparties including hyperscalers, neoclouds/data-center platforms, chip manufacturers, and financial sponsors. A dual-track process can maximize competitive tension.

● **Evaluation of potential buyers that have the "Three C's": Capital, Customer, and Construction.** The best buyer of Project Matador, who will maximize value for Fermi shareholders, must satisfy the "Three C's": a low cost of capital and an investment-grade balance sheet, captive customer demand for state-of-the-art AI compute, and proven world-class construction capability.

Mr. Neugebauer also dispelled false claims that have been pushed out by a faction of the current board. On the webinar, Mr. Neugebauer made clear:

● **He is not seeking to return as CEO.** Mr. Neugebauer has nominated six highly qualified and completely impartial candidates to the Fermi board. Mr. Neugebauer has not asked them to do anything other than what is in the best interest of shareholders. He is not seeking the role of CEO.

● **He is not seeking an immediate sale of the company.** Mr. Neugebauer is calling for the board to fulfill its fiduciary obligation by considering all options through an impartial process led by a qualified board, not a limited committee of the incumbent board exercising sweeping, undisclosed powers.

● **He was not terminated for cause.** On April 17, the board terminated Mr. Neugebauer without cause. Fermi's attempt to remove him for cause two weeks later was legally invalid and is subject to pending litigation.

The current board is using multiple legal tactics to suppress shareholder votes. Most recently, they filed a federal lawsuit to block investor action but lost in court. Hours after that defeat, they pushed through last-minute bylaw amendments. If left unchecked, these changes create a functional insider veto over the size of the board.

Mr. Neugebauer is refusing to let these stalling tactics succeed. He is moving forward with his solicitation to convene a Special Meeting of Shareholders on or around June 30, 2026. This meeting gives public investors the power to elect seven new board nominees and seat a new majority dedicated to maximizing shareholder value.

![](ea029193201_img4.jpg)

E X E C U T I V E S U M M A R Y Fermi Must Explore Every Option - and Shareholders Must Decide T H E C O M P A N Y Fermi has built an extraordinary business on a uniquely rare asset - but execution of the next phase remains highly contingent at this critical early phase of Project Matador. T H E P R O B L E M The current Board is asking shareholders to stomach four major risks and expressly forgo the opportunities that may arise from a strategic alternatives process. L E A S E P R I C I N G R I S K Rushing a tenant contract and sacrificing on pricing may anchor terminal value for 15–20 years. F I N A N C I N G R I S K Further parent-level capital and several billions of dollars of project capital required to support the first campus alone. D I L U T I O N R I S K Fermi 2.0 'strategic investors' (client- tenants, sovereign wealth funds, third parties) have yet to be sized, priced, or named. This process might heavily dilute current shareholders E X E C U T I O N R I S K Counterparty risk across customers, contractors, and vendors - defaults can trigger substantial liquidated damages and financing guarantees. O U R R E M E D Y An independent, dual-track process that evaluates every market outcome - before irreversible value and market opportunity is lost. I N D E P E N D E N T C O M M I T T E E Independent directors lead the review - with no prior commitment to any outcome. B A N K E R - L E D M A R K E T T E S T Six buyer categories engaged through a formal process led by an independent banker. D U A L T R A C K Strategic bids tested side-by-side with the company's standalone leasing path on the same evaluation framework. E V I D E N C E - B A S E D D E C I S I O N The path producing the best risk-adjusted outcome for all shareholders wins.

Why We Called A Shareholder Vote We are calling on shareholders to elect a Board willing to evaluate every path to maximize value — before any value erodes W H Y W E D I D T H I S Five reasons we are calling on shareholders to elect a new Board 01 The Board Refused to Run a Process — Shareholders Must Force One The Board declined to run a strategic alternatives review or test market interest. Shareholders deserve a Board willing to evaluate every option. 02 Stock Overhang & Decline has Impaired Cost of Capital As seen in the November (2025) stock decline, large shareholders can exert negative pressure on Fermi's share price. In addition, the recent Fermi leadership changes have widened the cost-of-capital gap. Every month of uncertainty makes it harder to finance the build at acceptable terms. 03 Time-to-Power is the Asset — Delay Erodes the Premium a Buyer Will Pay Our competitive moat is our head start. Permits, OEM slots, and capital have been lined up and replicating Project Matador as it stands today would take a competitor over 5 years. Further, delay erodes the premium a buyer will pay. 04 Credible Buyers Exist — Dual-Track Maximizes Competitive Tension We believe there are many credible potential counterparties – including hyperscalers, neoclouds/data-center platforms, chip manufacturers, and financial sponsors. A dual-track process can maximize competitive tension. 05 The Wrong Long-Term Contract Hurts Terminal Value Forever A poorly structured tenant agreement would lock in pricing that can erode Fermi's value for decades. A focused Board running a dual-path process would negotiate from strength - not under duress. W H A T T H I S I S N O T Anticipating — and rejecting — three counter-narratives ✕ Toby Neugebauer Is NOT Seeking the CEO Role This has nothing to do with management succession. Toby is not running for CEO. Toby expects that the Independent Nominees will run a CEO search or continue the search led by the Board. ✕ This is NOT a One Outcome Solution We are seeking a Board willing to evaluate all options - including a standalone build, strategic partnership, or a sale. The current Board refuses to listen to all market alternatives. The new Board will look - and let the market speak. ✕ Interests are 100% Aligned with Shareholders We are large shareholders acting in the interest of 100% of Fermi shareholders. The singular question is which path maximizes value for every shareholder, and a Board that will not even ask the question cannot answer it. Neither Toby, his Vicksburg entity, or the Melissa A Neugebauer 2020 Trust has sold a single share since IPO lockup expired E X E C U T I V E S U M M A R Y

O U R T H E S I S - T H E B E S T O W N E R P R I N C I P L E Shareholders Want to Sell to the Buyers Who Pay the Most Two buyers can look at Fermi today. They see the same company and asset, but have very different motivations to own it. S T R A T E G I C P A R T N E R O R A C Q U I E R The Bottlenecked Strategic A hyperscaler, chipmaker, industry-adjacent financial sponsor, or data-center developer with a capacity problem they can't solve on the open market. Capacity-constrained: must have power Industry strategics are competing intensely for an edge to advance their business models and capture market share. Fermi has some of the most abundant near-term supply of a critical input to that mission. Lower cost of capital: benefits accelerated execution and value realization Companies with investment-grade balance sheets or tier-1 sponsors can accelerate timelines and execution quality on major financings and project deliveries. Captures synergies: pays for control, not just yield Vertical integration with their own compute, fab, or colo demand turns Fermi's MW into their margin, not someone else's. Pays through their own multiple Hyperscaler / chip / DC developers are stabilized and well-diversified. Earnings from the Fermi asset, coupled with the strong multiples the potential buyers trade at, should be accretive to their shareholders. C U R R E N T M A R K E T B U Y E R The Public Market Investor A passive shareholder underwriting Fermi's standalone execution at today's $5–7 share price. Underwrites execution risk through the multiple Near and long-term milestones across tenant contracting, construction, financing, permitting, and procurement are all major risks to shareholder value. Discounts for capital risk at every raise Billions are required at the SPV level to satisfy construction of the first campus alone - contingent on tenant lease terms and guarantees. Future parent-level equity raises can be dilutive to shareholders. Cannot underwrite future tenant pricing and applies a haircut Tenant lease terms may set a market precedent that impacts the terminal value of the asset. Discounts the asset, doesn't capture synergies Peer shareholders likely apply a higher discount rate given Fermi is a first time developer and the recent noise around management changes. There are no operating synergies to monetize for current passive shareholders. Source: Fermi 10-K (3/30/2026), 10-K/A (4/30/2026), 10-Q (5/15/2026).

O U R T H E S I S What the Ideal Best Buyer Will Bring – The Three C's The lens through which an independent process should evaluate every potential buyer – and the framework that converts the standalone risk profile into a derisked platform. 0 1C Capital Low cost of capital · investment-grade balance sheet • Funds remaining $70B+ Phase 1–4 capex without dilutive equity raises • Sub-5% cost of debt vs. depressed standalone WACC • Can absorb larger completion and liquidity (financing) guarantees D E R I S K S Financing & dilution risk 0 2C Customer Captive offtake or anchor-tenant capability • Existing AI compute or power demand to internalize • Acts as anchor tenant for the first phase of capacity • Validates remaining capacity for sub-tenant agreements D E R I S K S Texas Tech lease & tenant contracting risk 0 3C Construction Hyperscale data center or large-scale power expertise • Track record building hyperscale data centers and/or generation at scale • Operational capability to execute the full 11+ GW build-out D E R I S K S Execution & cost- overrun risk A L L T H R E E T O G E T H E R The Best Buyer Each C alone is only partial. Together the Three C's convert Project Matador's standalone risk profile into a derisked, fundable, and executable platform

O U R T H E S I S The Value Uplift Justifies a Premium Price The acquisition of 2.2 GW of co-located gross power, with significant room to scale, supports a consistent pipeline of earnings measured in the billions. Capitalized at each acquirer's prevailing forward multiple, that cash flow translates into a material uplift in enterprise value. Data Center Developer Stabilized, contracted real-estate income, secured against the delivered power footprint on a long-dated, net-lease basis. F O R W A R D M U L T I P L E ~20x Capitalized on developer / core-infrastructure multiples. Hyperscaler The same capacity monetized as captive AI compute, generating recurring platform-level operating cash flow at scale. F O R W A R D M U L T I P L E ~15x Capitalized on prevailing platform earnings multiples. Chip / Semiconductor Highly sticky product suite that recycles several times throughout the customer's lease term. F O R W A R D M U L T I P L E ~22x Capitalized on sector multiples, normalized for hold. Across all three acquirer profiles, the same underlying asset yields a clear and defensible valuation uplift. Forward multiples reflect sector medians per FactSet (5/1/2026); semiconductor multiple normalised to reflect a sustained long-term hold.

B A C K G R O U N D T O P R O X Y Timeline of Board Entrenchment In 27 days, the Board has pulled rights away from shareholders and concentrated them in its own hands. 1 Mr. Neugebauer Calls May 29 Meeting Toby calls the May 29 Special Meeting - shareholders' first chance to vote on Fermi's future after the CEO removal. A P R 1 7 Solicitation Statement, 5/5/26 2 Founder Ex-CEO Calls for a Sale Private letter to the Board calling for sale exploration to a third party. Same-day press release reiterating the call. A P R 2 0 Toby PR, 4/20/26 3 Board Flips Same Day AM: reps convey the Board will explore a sale. PM: Company declares no sale - without any Board review, advisor process, or deliberation. A P R 2 1 Fermi PR, 4/21/26 4 Office of CEO Cancels Meeting An "Interim Office of CEO" announces the May 29 meeting is cancelled — no statutory or governance authority cited. M A Y 4 Fermi announcement, 5/4/26 5 List Refused; Federal Suit Filed Refuses shareholder list under TX law / SEC rules. Sues Toby and nominees in federal court — in violation of its own charter — to block the meeting. M A Y 7 – 8 5/7 demand response · Fed.

M A Y 1 1 Fermi announcement, 5/11/26 7 Court Denies; 70% Bylaws Same Day Federal court denies Fermi's silencing bid. Hours later, Fermi adopts 70% supermajority bylaws — an effective "insider veto" (Board allies own ~20–25%). M A Y 1 3 Fed. Ct. 5/13 · 8-K 5/14 (Ex. 3.1) 8 Suit Dropped; Solicitation Paused Fermi drops its own lawsuit. With May 29 now legally impossible to hold, Toby pauses his solicitation and pivots to the shareholder-called meeting. M A Y 1 5 – 1 9 Dismissal 5/15 · Toby PR 5/19 T H E N E T E F F E C T Sources: Fermi press releases 4/21, 5/4, 5/11, 5/14 (Item 5.03 + Ex. 3.1); Toby Neugebauer press releases 4/20, 5/19; Solicitation Statement 5/5; Fermi v. Neugebauer et al. (N.D. Tex.) — complaint filed 5/8/26, court order denying preliminary injunction 5/13/26, voluntary dismissal 5/15/26. Powers that previously sat with shareholders - calling meetings, expanding the board, amending the bylaws – are now purposefully less viable due to Board action. The pattern of actions above transfers a right outward from holders and inward to incumbents. Company loses challenge and immediately takes unprecedented step to change the rules in the middle of the game, in violation of every corporate governance norm – shareholders deserve better.

Founders must get effectively every single public shareholder's vote to expand the size of the board and elect new directors. Given allowance for no-votes, voting against, or abstaining, there is a razor thin margin of error for a fair shareholder test. A 70% threshold with ~22.5% blocked by Board insiders is mathematically equivalent to a Board veto. This rule was changed by the Board mid-game to ensure shareholder votes cannot change anything.

C O M P A N Y C L A I M F A C T 01 S T O C K P E R F O R M A N C E Fermi's stock decline during Mr. Neugebauer's tenure reflects his failed leadership. Management did not receive one negative letter or correction from the incumbent board who governed the Company during the decline. Stock pressure came from a number of external factors including pre-IPO holders selling their interests and tenant delays 02 I N T E N T Mr. Neugebauer has made an ill-advised call for an immediate sale of Fermi. Mr. Neugebauer is calling for the Board to fulfill its fiduciary obligation by considering all options through an impartial process led by a qualified board, not a limited committee of the incumbent board exercising sweeping, undisclosed powers. 03 T E R M I N A T I O N Mr. Neugebauer was terminated for cause after a careful and comprehensive process. On April 17, the Board terminated Mr. Neugebauer without cause. The Company's attempt to recharacterize his removal as "for cause" two weeks later is legally invalid and subject to pending litigation. 04 E X E C U T I O N Fermi needs to operate differently from the previous leadership team. At his departure: 2+ GW generation, ~6 GW permitted, initial construction complete, ~$1B financing closed. Since termination, seven top executives have left, including those leading tenant acquisition, permitting, and finance. 05 G O V E R N A N C E Mr. Neugebauer is trying to take control of the Company Mr. Neugebauer has nominated six highly qualified and completely impartial candidates to the Fermi board. Neugebauer has not asked them to do anything other than what is in the best interest of shareholders. Neugebauer is not seeking the role of CEO.

C O M P A N Y C L A I M F A C T 06 M A N A G E M E N T & B O A R D Strengthened team — new Interim CFO, CEO search underway. Restructuring director brought on to oversee execution. The Company has appointed restructuring-focused directors with a clear mandate: do not consider a sale. That is not impartial governance; it is a predetermined outcome. 07 T E N A N T N E G O T I A T I O N S Active engagement with several potential tenants, currently in late-stage conversations with one. Rushed tenant deals lock in pricing for 15+ years — terminal value, forever. A long-term lease signed under duress sets the asset's price for two decades. A proper process produces competition and price discovery — not surrender. 08 N E A R - T E R M L I Q U I D I T Y Plans to raise near-term capital from a combination of client-tenants, sovereign wealth funds, and third-party strategic investors. Issuing equity at ~$6.00 (80% below peak) destroys value. Every share issued at depressed prices is the most expensive capital available. A sale or strategic recapitalization avoids permanent dilution at the bottom of the cycle. 09 P U B L I C V A L U A T I O N Actively executing on current business plan — aiming to reassure markets via announcements of new tenant and development partner. Press releases don't close the 75% IPO-to-current gap, buyers do. The decline is a structural disconnect between fundamentals and public-market discount rates. A competitive process is the only mechanism that resets the price.

Shareholders Should Decide the Future of Fermi. This is about achieving maximum value for shareholders — and the shareholder democracy required to do it. Mr. Neugebauer does not intend to return to management. His focus — and the Nominees' focus — is ensuring that Fermi's value is maximized for all shareholders. A credible, independent process can do that. The current Board has demonstrated, in fewer than 90 days, that it cannot. 25 / 25
