Toby Neugebauer, removed from his role leading nuclear data-center developer Fermi Inc., is calling for a special shareholder meeting on May 29 to expand the board and secure seats for himself and other directors.

Neugebauer's move marks an escalation in the corporate dispute at the company. The May 29 meeting would require shareholder approval to increase board size and elect new members, including Neugebauer himself. Fermi Inc. develops data centers for nuclear computing applications. The company has not publicly commented on Neugebauer's ouster or the rationale behind removing him from the chief executive position. The special meeting request suggests potential conflict between Neugebauer and the current board leadership. Shareholder approval will be necessary for any board expansion and director elections to proceed. Details regarding other directors Neugebauer seeks to elect have not been disclosed. The outcome depends on shareholder votes at the May 29 meeting.
