PROPOSAL FOUR

TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 5E ADVANCED MATERIALS, INC. 2022 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE</div>

On October 14, 2025, our Board adopted the First Amendment (“Plan Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. 2022 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), as most recently amended and restated effective January 24, 2025, which increases the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan by 500,000 shares.

We refer to the Incentive Plan, as amended by the Plan Amendment, as the “Amended Plan”. The Plan Amendment is subject to stockholder approval. If approved by our stockholders, the Plan Amendment will become effective as of the date the Board adopted the Plan Amendment (the “Amendment Effective Date”). The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the Plan Amendment.

We do not have any other stock incentive plans pursuant to which equity awards can be granted; however, we previously granted equity awards under the employee share option plan of the Company’s predecessor, ABR (the “ABR Employee Share Option Plan”), all of which expired as of October 1, 2025. We are asking our stockholders to approve the Plan Amendment because we believe the availability of an adequate reserve of shares under the Incentive Plan is an integral part of our compensation program, as well as our continued growth and success. If the Plan Amendment is not approved, we believe the foregoing goals will be adversely affected.

Equity Incentive Awards Are an Important Part of Our Compensation Philosophy. We believe our future success depends on our ability
