Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On July 9, 2026, Fermi Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), commenced an offering for the sale of $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (the “Offering”). In connection with the Offering, the Company expects to grant to the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a 13-day period from the date of initial issuance of the Notes, up to an additional $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering (including any additional proceeds resulting from the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase the additional Notes) to pay the cost of privately negotiated capped call transactions and the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, the Company disclosed certain information relating to the Company and certain recent developments to prospective investors in a preliminary offering memorandum, dated July 9, 2026 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), excerpts of which are furnished herewith pursuant to Regulation FD, in the general form presented in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, on July 9, 2026, the Company posted an updated investor presentation to its website, a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
The information above and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are being furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and are not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 9, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this report and incorporated by reference. Additionally, as disclosed in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Company previously stated that it intended to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2025; however, the Company has determined to defer its REIT election. Accordingly, the Company was taxable as a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes through its short taxable year ended December 31, 2025. The Company expects to qualify and to elect to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2026, but no assurances can be provided that it will make the REIT election for such taxable year (or at all) or, if it makes a REIT election, that it will qualify or remain qualified as a REIT for such taxable year or any later taxable year.
