Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.


On April 6, 2022, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors received a letter from BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) stating that BDO would resign as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon the filing of our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022.

BDO’s reports on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 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 our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent interim period through April 6, 2022, there were no disagreements, within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“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 disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. Also during this same period, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto.

We provided BDO with the disclosures under this Item 4.01, and requested BDO to furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by us in this Item 4.01 and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. BDO’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
