During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and during the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2024 through March 6, 2024, (i) there were no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The audit reports of BDO on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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.
