The Audit Committee and Board participated in and approved the decision to change the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
BDO's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim periods through December 18, 2024, there were no "disagreements" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and BDO on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to BDO's satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference thereto in their reports.
The Company provided BDO with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of BDO's letter, dated December 19, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
