On May 24, 2025, approved by its audit committee of the board of directors, the Company dismissed WWC from its position as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through May 23, 2025, the date of dismissal, there were no “disagreements” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) between the Company and WWC 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 WWC, would have caused WWC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on financial statements of the Company for such years. During this same period, there were no “reportable events” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Exchange Act).

 

WWC’s audit report on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 had not yet been issued at the time of dismissal. Neither of WWC's audit reports for the two preceding fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022 contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

The Company has provided WWC with a copy of the foregoing disclosures under Item 4.01 on Form 8-K prior to filing it with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and has requested that WWC furnish to the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.01 on Form 8-K. A copy of WWC’s letter, dated May 24, 2025, was filed as Exhibit 16.1 in the Original Report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

On May 29, 2025, LAO Professionals (“LAO”) was appointed by the Company’s Audit Committee as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, subject to customary client acceptance procedures.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through , 202, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted LAO regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). 

 

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
