EXPLANATORY NOTE
| Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
As previously disclosed in the Original Report, on February 6, 2025, the Company notified Freed Maxick of its dismissal as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the date Freed Maxick completed its audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025. The decision to change the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. On May 27, 2025, Freed Maxick completed its audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025. Accordingly, the dismissal was effective May 27, 2025.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Form 8-K/A, there were no: (1) “disagreements” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with Freed Maxick on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Freed Maxick’s satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; or (2) “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The audit reports of Freed Maxick on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The audit reports of Freed Maxick on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The Company provided Freed Maxick with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested that Freed Maxick furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Freed Maxick agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from Freed Maxick is filed as Exhibit 16.1.
As previously disclosed in the Original Report, the Company engaged Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2026, beginning with the review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending June 28, 2025.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Form 8-K/A, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Deloitte with respect to 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, and no written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that Deloitte 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 and related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
