PROSPECTUS

Up to 10,666,666 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offer and resale from time to time by the Selling Stockholder named in this prospectus of up to an aggregate of 10,666,666 shares (the “Resale Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, including (i) Series A warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of up to 5,333,333 shares of Common Stock and (ii) Series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,333,333 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants”).

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of the Resale Shares by the Selling Stockholder.

We are registering the Resale Shares pursuant to the Selling Stockholder’s registration rights set forth in the securities purchases agreement, dated August 26, 2024, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder purchased the Warrants. Our registration of the Resale Shares does not mean that the Selling Stockholder will sell any of the securities offered hereby. The Selling Stockholder may offer and sell the Resale Shares in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how the Resale Shares may be sold in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 18.

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “FEAM.” Our CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol “5EA” with ten CDIs representing an interest in one share of our Common Stock. On October 4, 2024, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock was $0.69 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” under federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 of this prospectus and any similar section contained in any applicable prospectus supplement concerning factors you should consider before investing in our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is October 7, 2024

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the Selling Stockholder may sell the Resale Shares from time to time and in one or more offerings.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), which may be offered. Each time the Selling Stockholder sells Common Stock, we or the Selling Stockholder may provide a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus that contains specific information about the terms of the offered shares and the offering, including a detailed description of the specific amount or amounts of Common Stock to be offered, the prices of the shares of Common Stock, the name of any agent, underwriter or dealer to or through which the shares of Common Stock may be sold and a description of any arrangement with such agent, underwriter or dealer, and information about any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares will be listed.

A prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information included in this prospectus. Any statement contained in this prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in such prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified will be deemed to constitute a part of this prospectus only as so modified, and any statement so superseded will be deemed not to constitute a part of this prospectus.

We and the Selling Stockholder have not authorized anyone to provide any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus we have prepared.

No dealer, salesperson or other person is authorized to give any information or to represent anything not contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus. This prospectus is not an offer to sell Common Stock, and it is not soliciting an offer to buy Common Stock, in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date of those documents and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference (or, in each case, any earlier date specified for such information, unless we indicate otherwise), regardless of the time of delivery of such document or the time of any sale of a security. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This prospectus contains or incorporates by reference, and any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference, summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such documents.

Notice to investors outside the United States: Neither we nor the Selling Stockholder are offering to sell or seeking offers to purchase these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein may include statements that express our and our subsidiaries’ opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They may appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and these forward-looking statements reflect management’s expectations regarding, among other things, our future growth, results of operations, operational and financial performance and business prospects and opportunities. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current information and management’s expectations, beliefs and forecasts concerning future events impacting our business.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. Other sections of this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement describe additional factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING RESERVES

Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource and reserve estimates included (or incorporated by reference) in this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with, and are based on the relevant definitions set forth in, the SEC’s Mining Disclosure Rules and Regulation S-K 1300 (each as defined below). Mining disclosure in the United States was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 (the “SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In accordance with the SEC’s Final Rule 13-10570, Modernization of Property Disclosure for Mining Registrant, the SEC has adopted final rules, effective February 25, 2019, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules (the “Mining Disclosure Rules”) under sub-part 1300 (Title 17, Part 229, Items 601 and 1300 until 1305) of Regulation S-K (“Regulation S-K 1300”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Regulation S-K 1300 replaces the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Regulation S-K 1300 uses the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (“CRIRSCO”)-based classification system for mineral resources and mineral reserves and accordingly, under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “Measured Mineral Resources,” “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources,” and require SEC-registered mining companies to disclose in their SEC filings specified information concerning their mineral resources, in addition to mineral reserves. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” to be substantially similar to international standards. The SEC Mining Disclosure Rules more closely align SEC disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, referred to as the “JORC Code.” While the SEC now recognizes “Measured Mineral Resources,” “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources” under the SEC Mining Disclosure Rules, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Investors are also cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources are guarantees of actual resource amounts or that such amounts will be economically or legally mineable.

The following terms, as defined in Regulation S-K 1300, apply within this prospectus:

The Company released an amended and restated technical report as an exhibit to Amendment No. 2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on February 2, 2024, which has a revised report date of February 2, 2024, a report date of May 11, 2023, and a report effective date of April 1, 2023 (the “Amended Initial Assessment Report”). The purpose of the Amended Initial Assessment Report is to support the disclosure of mineral resource estimates for the Fort Cady Project. The Amended Initial Assessment Report was prepared in accordance with the SEC’s Mining Disclosure Rules and Regulation S-K Subpart 1300 and Item 601(b)(96) (technical report summary). The Amended Initial Assessment Report is discussed in Business and Properties and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 96.1 to this registration statement.

UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS IS, NOR DOES IT PURPORT TO BE, A TECHNICAL REPORT SUMMARY PREPARED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUBPART 1300 OF SECURITIES EXCHANGE COMMISSION REGULATION S-K.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANIES

We are an exploration stage company and do not currently have any known mineral reserves and cannot expect to have known mineral reserves unless and until an appropriate technical and economic study is completed for Fort Cady or any of our other properties that shows Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves as defined by Regulation S-K 1300. We currently do not have any Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves. There can be no assurance that Fort Cady or any of our other properties contains or will contain any such SEC-compliant Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves or that, even if such reserves are found, the quantities of any such reserves warrant continued operations or that we will be successful in economically recovering them.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

This prospectus includes or incorporates by reference, and any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference, information concerning our industry and the markets in which we will operate that is based on information from various sources including public filings, internal company sources, various third-party sources and management estimates. Our management estimates regarding our position, share and industry size are derived from publicly available information and its internal research, and are based on a number of key assumptions made upon reviewing such data and our knowledge of such industry and markets, which we believe to be reasonable. While we believe the industry, market and competitive position data included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus is reliable and is based on reasonable assumptions, such data is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk and is subject to change due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates included in this prospectus. We have not independently verified any data obtained from third-party sources and cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of such data.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act (including amendments to the foregoing), and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus before acquiring any of such securities. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements. You should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and in any applicable prospectus supplement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the Resale Shares offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholder for its respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares. We will receive any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for cash, which we intend to use for general corporate and working capital purposes.

With respect to the registration of the Resale Shares offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus, the Selling Stockholder will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholder for brokerage, accounting, tax, or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholder in disposing of the Resale Shares. We will bear the costs, fees, and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees, and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Description of Capital Stock

The following description of our capital stock is a summary. The following description of our securities is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the complete text of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are each included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and are incorporated by reference herein. Our authorized capital stock is 380,000,000 shares divided into 360,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

Common Stock

Except as otherwise required by law, as provided in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or as provided in the resolution or resolutions, if any, adopted by our Board of Directors (our “Board”) with respect to any series of the Preferred Stock, the holders of our Common Stock will exclusively possess all voting power. Each holder of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of stockholders for the transaction of business. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to take action, unless otherwise specified by law, our Bylaws or our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and except for any action to amend, alter or repeal our Bylaws, which shall require the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the shares of then-outstanding voting stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of outstanding Preferred Stock, holders of shares of our Common Stock will have equal rights of participation in the dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Company when, as and if declared thereon by our Board from time to time out of assets or funds legally available therefor and will have equal rights to receive the assets and funds of the Company available for distribution to stockholders in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.

CDIs

CDIs confer the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock on each CDI holder, with the legal title to such securities held by an Australian depositary entity, CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd. (the “Depositary Nominee”). The Depositary Nominee will be the registered holder of those shares of our Common Stock held for the benefit of holders of CDIs. The Depositary Nominee does not charge a fee for providing this service. Ten CDIs will represent an interest in one share of our Common Stock. Holders of CDIs will not hold the legal title to the underlying shares of our Common Stock to which the CDIs relate, as the legal title will be held by the Depositary Nominee. Each holder of CDIs will, however, have a beneficial interest in the underlying shares in our Common Stock. Each holder of CDIs that elects to vote at a stockholders meeting will be entitled to one vote for every 10 CDIs held by such holder. In order to vote at a stockholder meeting, a CDI holder may:

12

Voting instruction forms and details of these alternatives are included in each notice of meeting sent to CDI holders by the Company.

Conversion of CDIs to shares of Common Stock

CDI holders may at any time convert their CDIs to a holding of shares of Common Stock by instructing the share registry for the CDIs, either:

In both cases, once the share registry for the CDIs has been notified, it will arrange the transfer of the relevant number of shares of Common Stock from the Depositary Nominee into the name of the CDI holder in book entry form or, if requested, deliver the relevant shares of Common Stock to their DTC participant in the United States Central Securities Depositary. The share registry for the CDIs will not charge a fee for the conversion (although a fee may be payable by market participants). Holding shares of Common Stock will, however, prevent a person from selling their shares of Common Stock on the ASX, as only CDIs can be traded on that market.

Conversion of shares of Common Stock to CDIs

Shares of Common Stock may be converted into CDIs and traded on the ASX. Holders of shares of Common Stock may at any time convert those shares to CDIs by contacting the Company’s transfer agent. The underlying shares of Common Stock will be transferred to the Depositary Nominee, and CDIs (and a holding statement for the corresponding CDIs) will be issued to the relevant security holder. No trading in the CDIs may take place on the ASX until this conversion.

The Company’s transfer agent will not charge a fee to a holder of shares of Common Stock seeking to convert their shares of Common Stock to CDIs, although a fee may be payable by market participants.

In either case, it is expected that each of the above processes will be completed within 24 hours, provided that the Company’s transfer agent is in receipt of a duly completed and valid request form. No guarantee can, however, be given about the time required for this conversion to take place.

Dividends and Other Shareholder Entitlements

Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive all the direct economic benefits and other entitlements in relation to the underlying shares of Common Stock that are held by the Depositary Nominee, including dividends and other entitlements that attach to the underlying shares of Common Stock.

It is possible that marginal differences may exist between the resulting entitlement of a holder of CDIs and the entitlements that would have accrued if a holder of CDIs held their holding directly as shares of Common Stock. As the ratio of CDIs to Common Stock is not one-to-one, and any entitlement will be determined on the basis of shares of Common Stock rather than CDIs, a holder of CDIs may not always benefit to the same extent (e.g. from the rounding up of fractional entitlements). We will, however, be required by the ASX Settlement

13

Rules to minimize any such differences where legally permissible. If a cash dividend or any other cash distribution is declared in a currency other than Australian dollars, we currently intend to convert that dividend or other cash distribution to which a holder of CDIs is entitled to Australian dollars and distribute it to the relevant holder of CDIs in accordance with their entitlement.

Due to the need to convert dividends from United States dollars to Australian dollars in the above mentioned circumstances, holders of CDIs may potentially be advantaged or disadvantaged by exchange rate fluctuations, depending on whether the Australian dollar weakens or strengthens against the United States dollar during the period between the resolution to pay a dividend and conversion into Australian dollars.

Takeovers

If a takeover bid is made in respect of any of our Common Stock of which the Depositary Nominee is the registered holder, the Depositary Nominee is prohibited from accepting the offer made under the takeover bid except to the extent that acceptance is authorized by the CDI holders in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by their holding of CDIs.

The Depositary Nominee must accept a takeover offer in respect of shares of Common Stock represented by a holding of CDIs if the relevant holder of CDIs instructs it to do so and must notify the entity making the takeover bid of the acceptance.

Preferred Stock

Our Board is authorized to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series, as are stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the Board. The authority of the Board with respect to each series of Preferred Stock includes determination of the following:

14

Investor Designation Rights

Pursuant to the terms of an investor and registration rights agreement to which we are a party, each of BEP Special Situations IV LLC and Ascend Global Investment Fund SPC (the “Noteholders”) has the right to designate one individual to our Board, and we are required to appoint or nominate such person to our Board. Such party’s respective designation right will continue for so long as such party or its affiliates beneficially owns (i) at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of convertible notes issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with the Noteholders (the “Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement”) and beneficially owned by such party as of September 16, 2024 (which calculation shall include any convertible notes that have been converted so long as such party beneficially owns the applicable shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the notes and otherwise without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility in the convertible notes) or (ii) at least ten percent (10%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock previously issued or issuable to such party in connection with a conversion of its convertible notes pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and otherwise without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility in the notes).

15

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the offer and resale from time to time by the Selling Stockholder of up to 10,666,666 shares of our Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as described under “Prospectus Summary—Common Stock Purchase Warrants.”

The Selling Stockholder may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Resale Shares set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Stockholder” in this prospectus, we mean the entity listed in the table below, and the pledgee(s), donee(s), transferee(s), assignee(s), successor(s) and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Stockholder’s interest in our securities after the date of this prospectus.

The following table sets forth, as of September 16, 2024, the name of the Selling Stockholder, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be sold by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus and the number of shares of Common stock that the Selling Stockholder will beneficially own after this offering. For purposes of the table below, we have assumed that after this offering, none of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder. In addition, we assume that the Selling Stockholder has not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

We cannot advise you as to (i) whether the Selling Stockholder will exercise any of the Warrants for shares of Common Stock or (ii) whether the Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of such shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Selling Stockholder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Resale Shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus, subject to applicable law.

Information for each additional Selling Stockholder, if any, will be included in a prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Stockholder’s securities pursuant to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Stockholder and the number of shares of Common Stock registered on its behalf. The Selling Stockholder is not making any representation that any securities covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. The Selling Stockholder reserves the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed sale of the securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” For purposes of the table below, we assume that all of the securities covered by this prospectus will be sold.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the entity named in the table has sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. Except as described in the footnotes to the following table, the entity named in the table has not held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus. The inclusion of any shares of Common Stock in these table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the person named below.

17

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the resale by the Selling Stockholder or its respective permitted transferees of the Resale Shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the securities by the Selling Stockholder.

The Selling Stockholder may offer and sell, from time to time, the Resale Shares. The Selling Stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Stockholder may sell its securities by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

Instead of selling the securities pursuant to this prospectus, the Selling Stockholder may sell the securities in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. A Selling Stockholder has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

18

The Selling Stockholder also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

Upon being notified by a Selling Stockholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, or other successor-in-interest intends to sell our securities, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a selling stockholder.

With respect to a particular offering of the securities held by a Selling Stockholder, to the extent required, an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be prepared and will set forth the following information:

In connection with distributions of the securities or otherwise, the Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Stockholder.

The Selling Stockholder may also sell the securities short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions. The Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Stockholder or borrowed from any Selling Stockholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock.

The Selling Stockholder may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may affect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such securities may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our securities. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may over allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in our securities for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of our securities, the underwriter or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, such securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a broker-dealer for

19

distributing such securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

A Selling Stockholder may solicit offers to purchase shares directly from, and it may sell such shares directly to, institutional investors or others. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. The terms of any of those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, if any.

It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in our securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for our securities.

Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “FEAM.”

The Selling Stockholder may authorize underwriters, broker-dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we or a Selling Stockholder pay for solicitation of these contracts.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by a Selling Stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts, or concessions from the Selling Stockholder in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale, subject to applicable rules and guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), including those related to the aggregate maximum discount, commission, fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation that may be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer in any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

If at the time of any offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a “conflict of interest” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121 (“Rule 5121”), that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Rule 5121.

To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements, or understandings between the Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholder. Upon our notification by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file, if required by applicable law or regulation, a supplement to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act disclosing certain material information relating to such underwriter or broker-dealer and such offering.

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may facilitate the marketing of an offering online directly or through one of their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent, place orders online or through their financial advisors.

In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the Selling Stockholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of such shares may be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

The underwriters, broker-dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or a Selling Stockholder, or perform services for us or a Selling Stockholder, in the ordinary course of business.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We have advised the Selling Stockholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholder and its respective affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
