Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
On March 18, 2025, Delcath Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) that Marcum resigned as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm. On November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) acquired the attest business of Marcum. On March 18, 2025, following the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, CBIZ CPAs was engaged, effective immediately, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
The reports of Marcum regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except that, the report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included an explanatory paragraph relating to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and through March 18, 2025, the date of Marcum’s resignation, there were (a) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to such disagreement in its report and (b) no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and through March 18, 2025, the date Marcum informed the Company of their resignation, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with CBIZ CPAs regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by CBIZ CPAs on the Company’s financial statements, and CBIZ CPAs did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such 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 the related instructions), as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Marcum with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC, pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating whether it agrees with the above statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree, as required under Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated March 18, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
