Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On March 9, 2023, Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (the “Company”) has been advised by Daszkal Bolton, LLP (“Daszkal”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that Daszkal completed a business combination agreement with CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”). As a result of this transaction, Daszkal will resign as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm upon the Company filing its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s current Daszkal audit team is now part of CohnReznick and the Company expects it will likely engage CohnReznick to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, but has not engaged CohnReznick at this time.

Daszkal’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim periods through November 14, 2022, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Daszkal on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Daszkal’s satisfaction, would have caused Daszkal to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except that Daszkal advised the Company of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company provided Daszkal with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Daszkal furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Daszkal agrees with the statements made herein.

A copy of Daszkal’s letter dated March 15, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1.
