Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
Due to specific auditor independence implications under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that would result upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2025 (the “BCA”), by and among fuboTV Inc. (the “Company”), The Walt Disney Company and Hulu, LLC (the “Business Combination”), on May 20, 2025, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (i) dismissed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, in each case effective on May 20, 2025.
The Company has elected to take preemptive action to address the foregoing auditor independence implications by engaging PwC while the Business Combination remains pending. Completion of the Business Combination remains subject to certain closing conditions specified in the BCA, including without limitation the receipt of the requisite shareholder approvals, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and the clearance or obtainment of applicable consents of any specified governmental entity required to be obtained with respect to the transactions contemplated by the BCA. The Business Combination may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.
The audit reports of KPMG on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 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 the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and in the subsequent interim period through May 20, 2025, there were no: (1) “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with their opinions for such years, or (2) “reportable events” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided KPMG with a copy of the disclosures contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that KPMG furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements contained herein. A copy of KPMG’s letter, dated May 27, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through May 20, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted PwC with respect to (a) 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 consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (b) 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) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
