Investor update summary
21 May, 2026Strategic review and board transition
A special shareholder meeting is being called to elect a new board majority to ensure all options for maximizing value are explored, including a dual-track process for both M&A and tenant strategies.
The current board is criticized for refusing to run a strategic process and for governance issues, including raising decision thresholds during a dispute.
The proposed new board slate includes experienced leaders from investment, governance, energy, and advisory backgrounds.
The goal is to have a new board in place and a clear owner identified within 75 days, targeting completion by August 1.
Shareholder democracy and maximizing risk-adjusted value are emphasized as guiding principles.
Project Matador achievements and asset value
Project Matador is positioned as a unique, large-scale energy and AI compute campus with significant competitive advantages in speed and execution.
The platform includes 2+ GW of secured generation capacity, water, permits, and rapid infrastructure build-out.
Execution has been strong, with milestones like Siemens unit delivery, major financing, and permits achieved on schedule.
The asset is attractive to a range of buyers, including hyperscalers, chip companies, and infrastructure funds, due to its scale and potential EBITDA generation.
The nuclear business is highlighted as diverse and valuable, with interest from SMR companies and top industry executives involved.
Risks and market dynamics
Key risks identified include leasing price risk, financing risk, dilution risk, and counterparty risk.
Stock performance has been negatively impacted by large block sales, overhang from major shareholders, and management changes, rather than operational execution.
The cost of capital has increased, making dilution a significant concern for existing shareholders.
Speed to transaction is critical to preserve premium value, with delays eroding potential returns.
There is strong market interest, with 30 legitimate buyers identified across six categories.
