| Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant | |||||||
The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Cannae Holdings, Inc. (“Cannae” or the “Company”) approved (1) the dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and (2) the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP (“GT”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, subject to and effective upon completion of GT’s client acceptance procedures.
The audit reports of Deloitte on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) and December 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) 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 Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and the subsequent interim period through May 22, 2025, there were (i) no “disagreements,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, 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 Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years and (ii) no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company informed Deloitte of their dismissal on May 22, 2025. The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 is a letter from Deloitte addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures.
On May 27, 2025, GT confirmed their client acceptance procedures were complete. During Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and the subsequent interim period through May 27, 2025, the Company did not consult with GT regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or other written or oral information provided that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
