| (a) | Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
On September 2, 2026, BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) communicated to Wolf & Company, P.C. (“Wolf & Co”) that it has been dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and during the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2026 through September 2, 2026 (i) there were no disagreements with Wolf & Co on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to Wolf & Co’s satisfaction, would have caused Wolf & Co 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. Wolf & Co’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided Wolf & Co with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that Wolf & Co furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements in Item 4.01(a). A copy of Wolf & Co’s letter, dated September 2, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
| (b) | Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
On September 2, 2026, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, beginning with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026 and the review of the Company’s unaudited quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026, subject to Deloitte’s customary client acceptance procedure.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through September 2, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Deloitte regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
