During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and through the interim period ended June 30, 2025, and the subsequent interim period through October 9, 2025, there were no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) between the Company and BPB 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 BPB, would have caused BPB to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company’s financial statements. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the interim period ended June 30, 2025, and the subsequent interim period through October 9, 2025, BPB did not advise the Company of any “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K with respect to the Company, other than in connection with management’s conclusions in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as well as in its quarterly reports for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of the end of the periods covered by that annual report on Form 10-K and those quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, due to the following identified material weaknesses: (i) The Company had key senior accounting personnel transitioned over the course of the year-end process from the end of 2024 through the beginning of 2025, which resulted in adjustments to the year end balances that were required to be made; and (ii) During this transition period, the Company lacked sufficient resources with respect to the number of people employed in its accounting department and the adequacy of their training in relation to its financial reporting requirements.

The Company provided BPB with a copy of this report on Form 8-K in accordance with Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that BPB furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from BPB is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

(b) Engagement of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Additionally on October 9, 2025, through and with the approval of its Audit Committee, the Company appointed Davidson & Company LLP (“Davidson”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of engagement of Davidson, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company consulted with Davidson regarding: (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or (b) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that Davidson concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (c) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.
