This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 8, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on January 22, 2024 and Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on June 13, 2024 (together, the “Original Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (the “Issuer”) whose principal executive office is located at 9329 Mariposa Road, Suite 210, Hesperia, CA 92344. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On August 25, 2024, BEP Special Situations IV LLC (“BEP SS IV”) and the Issuer entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which BEP SS IV has agreed to purchase $3,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional senior secured convertible notes (the “Additional Convertible Notes”), contingent on the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth therein, including the Issuer’s consummation of an equity financing (the “Equity Financing”) and the amendment of the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, by and among the Issuer, BEP SS IV, Ascend Global Investment Fund SPC for and on behalf of Strategic SP and the other parties thereto. The terms of the Additional Convertible Notes are expected to be substantially similar to the Convertible Notes and the conversion price for the Additional Convertible Notes will be $0.9375, 125% of the price per share of the shares sold in the Equity Financing.
