Properties, in its own words
Our principal executive offices are located at 620 S. Taylor Street, Suite 301, Amarillo, Texas 79101, where we lease office space to support our administrative and corporate functions. In addition, we lease a modular office trailer located on the Project Matador campus that supports on-site project management, administrative, and operational activities. The trailer is a prefabricated unit equipped with standard office infrastructure, including HVAC, electrical service, and telecommunications connectivity, and is connected to site utilities as required. We believe these facilities are adequate for our near-term needs. If required, we believe that suitable additional or alternative space would be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms.

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Fermi Inc names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 30, 2026: 74 risks under these headings, as written.7
- Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
- We are a development-stage company with no operating history or historical revenue, and we face execution risk across all major components of our business.
- We have not yet constructed our facilities or entered into any binding contracts with any tenants, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so in the future. Our limited commercial operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects, the risks and challenges we may encounter and our total potential addressable market. Any delays or setbacks we may experience could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could harm our reputation.
- We are a development stage company with a history of financial losses (e.g., negative cash flows), and we expect to incur significant expenses and continuing financial losses at least until Project Matador becomes commercially viable, which may never occur. We will require substantial additional future funding to support our operations and implementation of our growth plans.
- We will require significant additional capital to construct and complete Project Matador, and we may not be able to secure such financing on time with acceptable terms, or at all, which could cause delays in our construction, lead to inadequate liquidity and increase overall costs.
- We are dependent on third-party manufacturing and supply chain relationships to develop and lease our facilities. Our reliance on third parties and suppliers involves certain risks that may result in increased costs, delays, and loss of revenue.
- We will need to hire additional skilled employees as we grow and scale up Project Matador, and there is no assurance we will be successful in recruiting, hiring, and training the personnel we need.
- If members of our board of directors or senior management team are unable to align on strategic direction, capital allocation, operational priorities, or other significant matters, such differences in perspective could result in delays in decision-making, the departure of key personnel, disruption to our operations, or an inability to execute on our business strategy.
- The data center and energy markets are highly competitive and rapidly evolving.
- AI and Large-scale Language Model “LLM” infrastructure requirements are changing faster than conventional infrastructure can be developed.
- The AI and hyperscaler market may not adopt our private infrastructure platform at the speed or scale we anticipate.
- Technological advances or disruptive innovations, specifically advancements in AI, may outpace our development cycle, and we are exposed to technology obsolescence across all major asset classes.
The other 63 risks
- We may not achieve tenant adoption at the pace or pricing levels required for financial viability.
- We may not enter into a definitive lease with the First Tenant or any other tenant.
- We depend on third-party vendors, contractors, and consultants to support our business.
- Terrorist attacks, cyberattacks and threats may compromise the integrity of our hybrid grid systems and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Our use of technologies and systems that use AI or LLMs, given the dynamic state of such technologies, may cause inadvertent or unexpected impacts that may introduce new operational, legal, and regulatory risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
- Risks Related to Project Matador
- Project Matador is an unprecedented, large-scale, multi-phase development effort that presents significant planning, execution, and coordination risks.
- Our ability to develop and retain site control depends on maintaining our leasehold interest with the Texas Tech University System.
- The scale of infrastructure planned at Project Matador will require extensive permitting, interconnection, and third-party coordination.
- We may face significant construction delays and global supply chain disruptions that could materially impact project timelines and costs.
- High demand for, constraints on the supply of, and increasing costs for industrial scale gas-fired turbines could lead to significant delays in our ability to develop the natural gas-fired power generation infrastructure we will need to achieve our power delivery goals on the schedule we are projecting.
- Westinghouse Reactors and SMRs can be costly and time consuming to construct and commercialize. Delays and cost overruns arising from issues with our procurement, regulatory approvals, construction and commercialization of nuclear reactors may materially adversely affect our business.
- We may be subject to credit risks.
- We may face physical site risks, including severe weather events, environmental conditions, or other disasters which could result in an interruption of our operations, a delay in the completion of Project Matador, higher construction costs and the deferral of the dates on which we could receive revenue, all of which could adversely affect us.
- Any failure of our physical infrastructure, or acts of theft or vandalism to our physical infrastructure, could lead to significant costs and disruptions that could reduce our revenue and harm our business reputation and financial results.
- Our construction and delivery timeline estimates for our facilities and other equipment may increase due to a number of factors, including the degree of pre-fabrication, standardization, on-site construction, long-lead procurement, contractor performance, facility pre-operational and startup testing, demand for repairs and other site-specific considerations.
- Our business operations rely heavily on securing agreements with suppliers for essential materials, equipment, and components which will be used to construct Project Matador facilities.
- The proximity of the Project Matador Site to the Pantex Plant introduces potential federal scrutiny.
- We are dependent on early infrastructure milestones to unlock downstream development phases.
- Construction risk is amplified by the multi-vertical, high-voltage, high-capacity nature of the Project Matador Site.
- We may not maintain eligibility for the full amount of tax abatements granted to us by Carson County.
- Risks Related to Our Regulatory Environment and Energy Generation
- Nuclear energy development is subject to extensive regulation and uncertainty, which could materially delay or impair our business.
- We may not obtain timely or successful regulatory approvals for nuclear development, which would materially impair our business model.
- We may not be able to obtain sufficient water resources for our operations, which could materially impair our operations or impact our ability to expand our operations.
- Connecting Project Matador with Tier 1 data center markets will require amplification and may introduce other risks associated with long-distance fiber connections.
- Our costs to comply with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations—both existing and new—may be material.
- If we cannot obtain required permits, licenses and regulatory clearance or approvals for Project Matador or our operations, or are unable to maintain such permits, licenses or approvals, we may not be able to continue or expand our operations.
- Decommissioning costs and unresolved spent nuclear fuel storage and disposal policy issues, as well as current U.S. policy related to storage and disposal of used fuel from our power plant, and/or negative customer perception of risks relating to these policies could have a significant negative impact on our business prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
- We are subject to laws and regulations governing the use, transportation, and disposal of toxic, hazardous and/or radioactive materials. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in substantial fines and/or enforcement actions.
- Nuclear project execution depends on specialized vendors, whose failure or delay could materially impact our business.
- We face significant risk associated with interconnecting and operating private energy infrastructure at scale.
- We will be subject to execution risks with respect to our natural gas, solar and BESS power sources.
- We are subject to complex, evolving, and potentially burdensome regulatory requirements.
- Accidents involving nuclear power facilities, including but not limited to events similar to the Three Mile Island or Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accidents, or other high profile events involving radioactive materials, could materially and adversely affect the public perception of the safety of nuclear energy, our customers and the markets in which we operate and potentially decrease demand for nuclear energy or facilities, increase regulatory requirements and costs or result in liabilities or claims that could materially and adversely affect our business.
- We are subject to federal environmental review processes, including NEPA, that may materially delay or restrict project development.
- Influential political actors, shifting domestic policy priorities, and organized opposition by politically connected stakeholders could materially adversely affect our ability to develop, finance, and operate Project Matador.
- Our operations and infrastructure may be materially adversely affected by geopolitical risks, including cyberattacks and physical disruptions by nation-state actors and other hostile parties.
- Regulatory changes or political shifts could materially adversely affect nuclear licensing and financial feasibility.
- Commodity prices (particularly for natural gas) could impact the economic viability of our businesses or impair our ability to commence operations if we are not able to adequately pass through the cost of natural gas and other raw materials to our tenants.
- Our natural gas supply will be subject to market volatility and pipeline transportation risk.
- Solar and battery deployment is subject to permitting, environmental, and production risks.
- Our energy generation strategy requires multi-year planning and access to specialized equipment.
- We may be subject to opposition from environmental groups, litigation, or reputational campaigns, which could delay permitting or reduce site flexibility.
- The Project Matador Site’s location near the former Pantex Plant presents certain restrictions on the development of operations.
- Risks Related to Tenant Concentration and Leasing
- Our near-term revenue may be heavily concentrated among a small number of anchor tenants.
- Failure of any major tenant to perform under its lease could result in material financial losses.
- Our leases may include operational covenants that create performance liability.
- Our ability to scale leasing revenue depends on the timely delivery of powered shells and infrastructure-ready pads.
- Tenant consolidation or vertical integration could reduce long-term leasing demand.
- We may be required to offer lease concessions or capital subsidies to secure long-term tenants.
- Subtenant improvements impact our leaseback model and base rent escalations.
- Risks Related to REIT Qualification
- We intend to be classified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2025. Our failure to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes would reduce the amount of funds we have available for distribution and limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
- Restrictions on ownership of our capital stock may adversely affect our stock price and/our business and we could fail to qualify as a REIT as a result of such restrictions.
- Qualification as a REIT involves a highly technical and evolving set of requirements.
- Certain energy infrastructure assets may be non-qualifying assets, and certain of energy infrastructure activities may generate non-qualifying income for REIT purposes.
- Legislative or other actions affecting REITs could have a negative effect on us, including our ability to qualify as a REIT or the U.S. federal income tax consequences of such qualification.
- There are limits on our ownership of TRSs and our transactions with a TRS may cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on arm's-length terms.
- Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
- Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.
- The prohibited transactions tax may limit our ability to dispose of assets.
- Dividends on our common stock do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
- The board of directors’ revocation of the Company’s REIT status without shareholder approval may decrease the Company’s shareholders’ total return.
- In order to preserve our REIT status, our Charter limits the number of shares a person may own, which may discourage a takeover that could result in a premium price for our common stock or otherwise benefit our shareholders.
- Our relative lack of experience in operating under the constraints imposed on us as a REIT may hinder the achievement of our investment objectives and/or may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.
