Hancock Prospecting now owns 70.2% of the company as per a 4.2c per share cash takeover.
Atlas said its lenders had chosen not to accelerate the company's repayment obligations, despite its rights to do so due to the change of control.
The Hancock offer closes on August 31 after which a review of the Atlas business will be conducted.
Atlas said it would formalise FY19 guidance on completion of the review, but for now, it would operate its Mt Webber mine at around 7Mt per annum and continue lithium DSO processing activities.
Atlas shares last traded at 4.2c, in line with the takeover price.
