Dragonfly Energy Changes Independent Auditor to MaloneBailey

What Happened
Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. announced on Sept. 25, 2026 that its Audit Committee approved the dismissal of CBIZ CPAs P.C. and the engagement of MaloneBailey LLP as the company's new independent registered public accounting firm, effective for the year ended December 31, 2026. The company stated the change was not due to any disagreement with CBIZ CPAs; CBIZ’s audit report on the 2025 consolidated financial statements was unmodified (no adverse opinion or disclaimer). The filing notes that Marcum LLP had previously resigned in March 2025 and CBIZ was appointed thereafter.

Key Details

• Audit Committee approved the change on September 25, 2026; MaloneBailey is engaged as auditor for the year ended December 31, 2026.
• CBIZ CPAs’ 2025 audit report contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualification.
• From March 31, 2025 through Sept. 25, 2026 there were no disagreements or “reportable events” between the company and CBIZ CPAs per Regulation S‑K Item 304.
• The company provided CBIZ CPAs a copy of this 8‑K and CBIZ’s letter dated Sept. 25, 2026 is filed as Exhibit 16.1.

Why It Matters
A change in independent auditor is material because auditors review and opine on a company’s financial statements. Here, Dragonfly’s filing explicitly states the change was not driven by accounting disagreements and that the prior auditor’s 2025 report was unmodified, which may reduce immediate red flags for investors. Investors should watch upcoming filings (including the 2026 Form 10‑K or interim financial reports) for MaloneBailey’s audit work and any differences in audit opinions or disclosures.
