Following a competitive request for proposal process, on August 9, 2019, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") of Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (the "Company") approved the dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective following the conclusion of the audits for the Company's and its subsidiaries' fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. On the same day, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, subject to the execution of an engagement letter.
​
(a)  Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
​
The reports of Deloitte on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
​
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through August 9, 2019, there were no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports.
​
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through August 9, 2019, there were no "reportable events" requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
​
The Company has provided Deloitte with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company requested Deloitte to furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Deloitte's letter dated August 14, 2019 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
​
(b) Engagement of new Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
​
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through August 9, 2019, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted KPMG regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or on the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
