Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Based on information provided by Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) acquired the attest business of Marcum, effective November 1, 2024. On April 17, 2025, Marcum resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Biofrontera Inc. (the “Company”) and, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, CBIZ CPAs was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.

The audit reports of Marcum on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 contained no 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 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 2023 and the subsequent interim period through April 17, 2025, there were (i) 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 procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum would have caused them to make reference thereto in connection with their reports on the financial statements for such years and (ii) no reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the above statements and requested that Marcum furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated April 17, 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 through April 17, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with CBIZ CPAs regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that CBIZ CPAs concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the 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) or any reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
