Toby Neugebauer Slams Fermi Governance Following Board Resignation

Everson, the former Fermi CFO and a veteran of PwC U.S. Consulting, resigned last week after alleging that the board was never briefed on the $375 million financing deal before it was made public. In his resignation letter, Everson claimed he had been denied access to board minutes and committee records for months, stating his departure was not for personal reasons but a direct protest against the company's failure to maintain basic governance standards.

Neugebauer, who remains the company’s largest shareholder, labeled the board’s circumvention of protocol inexcusable. He suggested that the lack of documentation is a deliberate attempt to conceal discrepancies between the company’s internal accounts and its official filings with the SEC. Despite the internal strife, Neugebauer expressed continued faith in the value of Project Matador, which he maintains is a premier asset in the current AI race. The Melissa A. Neugebauer 2020 Trust, which Neugebauer manages, currently holds over 94 million shares and has begun the process of vetting a replacement for Everson’s seat.
