  of Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (the &ldquo;Registrant&rdquo;) to be issued pursuant to the Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. 2021
  Incentive Stock Plan (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;). On May&nbsp;17, 2021, at the Registrant&rsquo;s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
  stockholders approved the Plan, which had been previously approved by the Registrant&rsquo;s board of directors. The Plan supersedes and

  Vito J. Consiglio as the Registrant&rsquo;s President and Chief Executive Officer (&ldquo;CEO&rdquo;). This Registration Statement on
  Form S-8 is also being filed to register <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">631,315</FONT> shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
  to an award of leveraged performance units (&ldquo;LPUs&rdquo;) granted outside of the Plan as an &ldquo;employment inducement grant&rdquo;
  (the &ldquo;Inducement Award&rdquo;) to Mr. Consiglio on January 1, 2022 in connection with his appointment as CEO. The Inducement Award
  was granted in reliance on New York Stock Exchange (the &ldquo;NYSE&rdquo;) Listing Rule 303A.08, which exempts &ldquo;employment inducement
  grants&rdquo; from the general requirement under the NYSE Listing Rules that all equity compensation plans be approved by stockholders.
  Pursuant to the Inducement Award, and subject to the terms and conditions of the award agreement, <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">Mr.
  Consiglio was awarded </FONT>252,526 <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">LPUs at target. The actual number of LPUs earned will be based
  on share price growth, as measured against performance metrics set forth in the award agreement, over the three-year performance period.
  Earned LPUs will be settled in Company common stock. The maximum amount of shares that may be earned under this Inducement Award is </FONT>631,315
  <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">shares, which is subject to a value cap of 15x the initial grant value. The shares of Common Stock
  registered on this Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Inducement Award represent the maximum number of shares that
  may be earned pursuant to this award without regard to the value cap. The actual number of shares earned, if any, will be determined following
  the completion of the three-year performance period. </FONT></P>

  EXPLANATORY NOTE
  This Registration Statement on Form S-8
  is being filed for the purpose of registering 4,798,125 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"),
  of Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (the "Registrant") to be issued pursuant to the Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. 2021
  Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"). On May 17, 2021, at the Registrant's 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
  stockholders approved the Plan, which had been previously approved by the Registrant's board of directors. The Plan supersedes and
  replaces the Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. 2017 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Prior Plan") for awards granted on or after
  May 17, 2021.
  On December 5, 2021, the Board appointed
  Vito J. Consiglio as the Registrant's President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). This Registration Statement on
  Form S-8 is also being filed to register
  631,315
  shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
  to an award of leveraged performance units ("LPUs") granted outside of the Plan as an "employment inducement grant"
  (the "Inducement Award") to Mr. Consiglio on January 1, 2022 in connection with his appointment as CEO. The Inducement Award
  was granted in reliance on New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") Listing Rule 303A.08, which exempts "employment inducement
  grants" from the general requirement under the NYSE Listing Rules that all equity compensation plans be approved by stockholders.
  Pursuant to the Inducement Award, and subject to the terms and conditions of the award agreement,
  Mr.
  Consiglio was awarded
  252,526
  LPUs at target. The actual number of LPUs earned will be based
  on share price growth, as measured against performance metrics set forth in the award agreement, over the three-year performance period.
  Earned LPUs will be settled in Company common stock. The maximum amount of shares that may be earned under this Inducement Award is
  631,315
  shares, which is subject to a value cap of 15x the initial grant value. The shares of Common Stock
  registered on this Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Inducement Award represent the maximum number of shares that
  may be earned pursuant to this award without regard to the value cap. The actual number of shares earned, if any, will be determined following
  the completion of the three-year performance period.
  PART I
  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
  The document(s) containing the information
  concerning the Plan and the Inducement Award required by Item 1 of Form S-8 and the statement of availability of registrant information,

  Award, to the recipient, as specified by Rule 428 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In
  accordance with Rule 428 and the requirements of Part I of Form S-8, such documents are not being filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
  Commission (the "Commission") either as part of this Registration Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant
  to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. The Registrant will maintain a file of such documents in accordance with the provisions of Rule
  428. Upon request, the Registrant will furnish to the Commission or its staff a copy of any or all of the documents included in such file.

  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  The legality of the issuance of the Common Stock being registered
  has been passed upon for the Registrant by Richard Colby Slaughter, Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Registrant.
  Mr. Slaughter is employed by the Registrant, participates in various employee benefit plans of the Registrant under which he may
  receive shares of Common Stock or restricted stock units, options to purchase shares of Common Stock or other types of equity awards under
  the Plan, and currently beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of
  Delaware.
  Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not
  be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except
  for liability:
  ·
  for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
  ·
  for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
  violation of law;
  ·
  under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") relating
  to unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
  ·
  for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
  The limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising
  under the federal or state securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission.
  The Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation
  and bylaws include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers
  for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of the Registrant, or for serving at the Registrant's request as
  a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. The Registrant's amended and
  restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that the Registrant must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to its
  directors and officers, subject to its receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. The Registrant's
  amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes the Registrant to carry directors' and officers' insurance
  to protect it, its directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.
  The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of
  Delaware law and the Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors
  and officers and does not purport to be complete.
  Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
  Not applicable.
  Item 8. Exhibits.
  See the Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.
  Item 9. Undertakings.
  (a)         The undersigned Registrant
  hereby undertakes:
  (1)         To file, during
  any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
  (i)          To include any prospectus
  required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
  (ii)         To reflect in
  the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
  thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
  would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
  reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
  price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
  Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
  (iii)        To include any
  material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change
  to such information in the Registration Statement;
  provided
  ,
  however
  , that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
  and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
  in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
  Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
  (2)         That, for the purpose
  of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
  relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
  offering thereof.
  (3)         To remove from registration
  by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
  (b)        The undersigned
  Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's
  annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
  benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
  Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
  at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona fide
  offering thereof.
  (c)         Insofar as indemnification
  for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
  to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
  is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
  against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
  person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
  person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
  settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
  public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
