So does it mean nothing left for shareholders? All gone to the drain?

" With JBJ refusing to accept further shipments, Alita bearing fixed cash costs and a weakening spot market for lithium ore weighing down the price and Alita&rsquo s sales volume, the company&rsquo s &lsquo failure was inevitable&rsquo , according to KordaMentha "
ASX/SGX Announcement
29 November 2019
Alita Resources Limited (Administrators Appointed) (Receivers and Managers Appointed), formerly Alliance Mineral Assets Limited
ACN 147 393 735 and its subsidiaries outlined in Schedule 1 (&lsquo the Group&rsquo )
ASX Code: A40
SGX Code: 40F
Refinancing of Senior Secured Debt Facility and Retirement of Receivers
Further to the announcement of 8 October 2019, the Administrators (Richard Tucker and John Bumbak) have undertaken a process to identify a suitable party to purchase or recapitalise the Group.
We advise that Alita and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into a binding AUD$70 million loan facility agreement (&lsquo Loan Facility Agreement&rsquo ) with China Hydrogen Energy Limited (&lsquo CHE&rsquo ) and related security arrangements.
The funds available under the Loan Facility Agreement will be applied by Alita to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the senior secured debt facility with its secured creditor, Galaxy Resources Limited (&lsquo Galaxy Facility&rsquo ). The balance of the Loan Facility Agreement is available for draw down for working capital purposes, subject to the consent of CHE.
The Loan Facility Agreement contemplates that CHE or its nominee will submit a deed of company arrangement proposal (&lsquo CHE DoCA&rsquo ) for consideration by the Administrators and creditors of the Group. The Loan Facility Agreement provides short term bridging finance for the Group ahead of the proposed DoCA. Amounts outstanding under the Loan Facility Agreement will be repayable on the earlier of:
&bull two business days after the Administrators or Alita are funded to repay the amounts outstanding under the Loan Facility Agreement in accordance with the terms of the CHE DoCA
&bull 13 February 2020 (or such other date agreed in writing by the parties), or
&bull if the CHE DoCA proposal is not approved at the second meeting of creditors, seven business days
after the date of the meeting.
In the event that the CHE DoCA proposal is not passed at the second meeting of creditors, provided that the CHE DoCA proposal was submitted on or before 5 January 2020, an early payment fee 15% will be payable to CHE.
KordaMentha Pty Ltd ACN 100 169 391 Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional kordamentha.com Standards Legislation
For personal use only
The Administrators consider that the benefits of entering into the Loan Facility Agreement for the Group and its creditors include:
&bull an improved rate of 5% as compared to the variable interest rate under the Galaxy Facility of approximately 14% to 16%
&bull a reduction in costs as a result of the retirement of the Receivers and Managers, and
&bull the facilitation of a DoCA proposal which, based on discussions with CHE and an indicative non- binding term sheet, the Administrators believe will deliver a superior outcome for creditors of the Group compared to other proposals received by the Administrators or an insolvent winding up of the Group.
The Administrators will prepare their report to creditors in the coming days, which will contain the Administrators&rsquo detailed report on the DoCA process and the basis of the Administrators&rsquo recommendations in respect of the Group&rsquo s future. That report will be released to the market in due course once the Administration process has progressed.
Following the repayment of the Galaxy Facility and the discharge of the related security, the Receivers and Managers (Martin Jones, Matthew Woods and Andrew Smith of KPMG) will retire as receivers and managers of the relevant Group companies. With effect from the Receivers and Managers&rsquo retirement, the Voluntary Administrators will remain in control of the Group and its operations.

"Contemporary Amperex Technology Co (CATL) and BYD Co saw sharp declines in sales of electrified-vehicle batteries in September as demand weakened in China, where the government is cutting subsidies in the EV sector.
Sales by market leader CATL fell 10%, while BYD?s slumped 71%, causing it to lose its No. 3 ranking to South Korea?s LG Chem Co., SNE Research said."

"?The oversupply of mined lithium products, caused largely by the commissioning of lithium mineral operations in Australia outpacing mineral/chemical conversion capacity in China has been a major influence on falling lithium prices since Q1-2018,? metals and minerals research company Roskill said in July.
Australian lithium miners expect difficult times at least through the end of 2019 due to the slowing Chinese car market and the cut in EV subsidies."
