On July 10, Fermi Inc. declined 18.58% in regular trading, trading at $6.345/share, with turnover of $86.06 million. The sell-off was triggered by the company completing the pricing of an upsized $375 million offering of 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2031, with initial purchasers granted an option to buy up to an additional $56.25 million in notes.
Fermi expects net proceeds of approximately $362.3 million, earmarked for capped call transactions and general corporate purposes. The convertible debt issuance intensified market concerns over potential equity dilution. Compounding the downward pressure, Fermi had previously announced that shareholders clearly signaled they do not support former CEO Neugebauer's proposal to convene a special shareholder meeting, effectively ending expectations for a full sale or strategic partnership that could have unlocked shareholder value. The stock had already fallen 8.16% on July 7 following that announcement, and selling pressure persisted into the current session as both negative catalysts converged.
