Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Based on information provided by Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the independent registered public accounting firm of Pyrophyte Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) acquired the attest business of Marcum, effective November 1, 2024. Marcum continued to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm through July 15, 2025. On July 15, 2025, the Company dismissed Marcum as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and engaged CBIZ CPAs to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2024, effective immediately. The engagement of CBIZ CPAs was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The services provided by Marcum will now be provided by CBIZ CPAs.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and through July 15, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with CBIZ CPAs regarding (i) 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 consolidated 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 any 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, or a “reportable event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The reports of Marcum regarding the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that the reports for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included an explanatory paragraph relating to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 has not yet been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and through July 15, 2025, there were (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Marcum’s satisfaction, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of Marcum’s letter dated July 22, 2025 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
