We have so many choices – let's choose the best one

Assuming it's the same group Neugebauer told market they were contracting on the earnings call before Toby was terminated, the family likes that tenant group a lot.

Proxy is not about can Fermi get a tenant;

Proxy is about restoring normal governance,

And evaluating all potential strategic full value transactions,

To ensure the best risk-adjusted outcome for all shareholders, employees, and the people of the Texas Panhandle

DALLAS, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Toby Neugebauer, co-founder and largest individual shareholder of Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ:FRMI), today issued the following letter about his solicitation for shareholders to call a Special Meeting of Shareholders to allow shareholders to have their first voice on the future of Fermi.

Dear Fellow Fermi Shareholder:

I have a high degree of confidence a tenant deal will be announced soon. I can say that because our deal team was in the contracting phase before our departure. As I said on my last earnings call, we were focused on financing and partnering on the expanded scope of what our customers wanted:

"When we got the air permit is when the C-suites of our customers got very, very serious about buying. . . . We're in the contracting phase of this process."¹

Adding to my confidence good news is on the horizon, TDK recently announced what appears to be a closing of our Fermi 2.0 Engineering and Project Management Agreement and Fermi recently advised shareholders:

"Although no assurances can be made, the Company is increasingly confident it will announce one or more transactions with a tenant and/or joint venture partner."²

Assuming the Company's announcement is the group we teed up, the Neugebauer family likes that tenant a lot. We had killed Fermi 1.0 and rebuilt as Fermi 2.0 last December so we could deliver on the terms serious customers demand. Former Fermi CFO, Miles Everson, hired Broadhaven, who was effusive in its praise of our efforts to find partners and capital for the expanded tenant ask, and the stock moved 36% the week we were in the market. I know the project financing market was ready as well—we built that trust with them most notably from our firm stance on tenant one.

We put Fermi on the green. I know Marius can sink the putt with the counterparties he has close relationships with.

I can only assume the stock will pop once the Company announces the good news. We will all celebrate. And three minutes after traders sell and the board has its stolen valor moment "saving" the company from me— then what? A tenant deal is the beginning of an execution challenge, not the end of the story. The Company will be left with a lot of execution risk, which may be great. But that can only be judged in comparison to all alternatives. To say you have evaluated alternatives is just not true. Three major banks, including two of Elon's favorites, have reached out to my investment banker, representing in excess of seven parties.

To long-term shareholders, my former colleagues holding RSUs, and Class B shareholders: you are shouldering the execution risk. Unlike Steven, Charlie, Jacobo, the Perrys and even me – who can sell at any time — many of you are locked up for three years. I had you in mind when I proposed a strategic value maximizing change of control process. It's time for you all to be honest with yourselves and the Board about what Fermi 2.0 was about. How much has changed. Your family wealth should not be influenced by the Texas-sized egos at work – who are more interested in being "right" than being rich and who want to take credit for "saving" the company.

The proxy was never about a tenant. It was about restoring normal governance to Fermi, ensuring all strategic alternatives are honestly evaluated, and giving every shareholder the best risk-adjusted outcome. A tenant deal and broken governance can both be true at the same time. Demanding a 70% supermajority to silence shareholders and give the Perrys control over a company they did not create, changing the rules mid-contest, operating through undisclosed committees—the majority Board has earned a reputation for unprecedented bad governance. If elected, my highly-qualified 100% independent board nominees (none of whom had a relationship with me prior to this process but were identified by a third-party based on each nominee's stellar finance, energy, tech and publicly traded company board experience) would restore good governance so that all shareholders are heard and value is maximized. As I said in last week's Open Letter, I'm committed to 'protecting my baby," so I will respect a healthy board's decision, even if that confirms the best path for maximum shareholder value is the current track, because it will have taken into consideration the board's logical fiduciary responsibility to run a full-value risk-adjusted strategic process.

We have so many choices – let's choose the best one,

Toby Neugebauer
