CHESS Depositary Interests financial

"The Company’s securities currently trade on the ASX in the form of CDIs"

CHESS depositary interests are tradable certificates used on the Australian settlement system that represent ownership of underlying foreign shares held by a custodian. They let investors buy and sell foreign-listed stocks on the local exchange as if they were domestic shares, simplifying trading, dividend collection and record-keeping, though they may involve custodian fees and can alter certain direct shareholder rights and tax treatments.

Australian Securities Exchange financial

"delist its CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) from the Australian Securities Exchange"

Australian Securities Exchange is Australia’s main marketplace where stocks, bonds, ETFs and other tradable financial instruments are bought and sold. Think of it as a large, regulated marketplace that shows current prices, matches buyers and sellers, and enforces rules to keep trading fair and orderly—information and liquidity from the exchange directly affect how easy it is to trade an investment and how its market price is determined.

Nasdaq Global Select Market financial

"common stock will continue to be listed and trade on Nasdaq Global Select Market"

A Nasdaq Global Select Market listing is the highest tier of stocks on the Nasdaq exchange, reserved for companies that meet the strictest financial, reporting and governance standards. For investors, it acts like a premium quality label—signaling larger, more transparent and better-governed companies that tend to offer greater liquidity and lower perceived risk compared with lower-tier listings, making it easier to buy, sell and evaluate shares.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"Certain statements made in this on constitute forward-looking statements"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

safe harbor provisions regulatory

"covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A"

Safe harbor provisions are rules or legal protections that shield companies or individuals from certain penalties or liabilities when they follow specific guidelines or procedures. They provide a sense of security, encouraging compliance and innovation by reducing the fear of legal repercussions if they act in good faith. For investors, these provisions help ensure that companies are transparent and accountable without the risk of unfair punishment for honest mistakes.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 16, 2026, 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it intends to voluntarily delist its CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) (as described below) from the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”), effective from the close of trading on such exchange on May 28, 2026. The Company’s securities currently trade on the ASX in the form of CDIs under the ASX code 5EA. It is expected that the Company’s CDIs will be suspended from official quotation on the ASX on May 26, 2026 (the “Suspension Date”) and, following the Suspension Date, CDI holders will no longer be able to trade their CDIs on the ASX.

The delisting of the Company from the ASX is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results other than in relation to savings in compliance and certain ancillary costs associated with maintaining the ASX listing. The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “FEAM.” The Company intends to provide holders of the Company’s CDIs additional information regarding their rights in connection with the delisting of the Company’s CDIs from the ASX.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations of management that are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates and expectations will be achieved. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “may,” “continue,” “target,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “predict,” “possible,” “potential,” “pursue,” “likely,” and the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements use these words or expressions. All statements that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the anticipated timing of the suspension and delisting of the Company’s CDIs from the ASX, the expectation that the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq and information to be provided to holders of the Company’s CDIs. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including, but not limited to, the important factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and as further updated from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully and in the totality of the circumstances when evaluating these forward-looking statements, and not to place undue reliance on any of them. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s reasonable estimates and beliefs as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and, unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements and expressly disclaims any obligation to do so, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
