Boron lithium play 5EA Advanced Materials (ASX:5EA) – formerly American Pacific Borates — is a baggie’s worst nightmare, down +93% from its May 2022 peak of $3.73/sh.

First production from a pilot facility was originally pencilled in for early 2023, with a 250,000tpa large scale operation to be up and running in 2025.

In 2022 and 2023 a handful of board members resigned amid cost overruns and schedule misses, which 5AE blamed on its contractor.

A shareholder vote on a painful recapitalisation and restructuring deal (done at a 50% discount) will be held January 12.

If it is voted down, the company will implement the restructuring through bankruptcy, which would extinguish the equity interests “of stockholders in their entirety”.
