Item 4.01 - Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On June 17, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of NewLake Capital Partners, Inc. a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) unanimously agreed to dismiss BDO USA, P.C. (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company notified BDO of their dismissal on June 18, 2024, and the termination was effective immediately. Currently, the Company is in the process of engaging a replacement independent registered public accounting firm.
BDO’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the two most recent fiscal years (fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022) did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years (fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022) and the subsequent interim period through June 18, 2024, there were no (i) disagreements (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference thereto in its reports covering the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such periods and (ii) reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided BDO with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that BDO furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether it agrees with the statements contained herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of BDO’s letter to the SEC, dated June 21, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
