Exhibit 99.1

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 Cause

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 Shareholder 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request is not valid, has been rescinded by the officers who assumed the offices he once held, and at the time his request was made, by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 seek 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 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.

10-K/A”) for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 30, 2026. To the extent holdings by our directors and
