Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Item 14.Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As previously disclosed, on August 15, 2023, the Audit Committee appointed Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and in connection therewith dismissed Plante & Moran, PLLC (“Plante Moran”), as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, subject to Grant Thornton’s standard client acceptance procedures, which were completed on August 18, 2023. The decision to appoint Grant Thornton as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm was the result of a request for proposal process after Plante Moran notified the Audit Committee that Plante Moran is evaluating whether to continue its Securities and Exchange Commission audit practice in the Company’s primary industry.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and through the subsequent interim period preceding the Company’s appointment of Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Grant Thornton regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Grant Thornton that 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 the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The audit reports of Plante Moran on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 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 the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and through the subsequent interim period preceding Plante Moran’s dismissal, (1) there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Plante Moran 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 Plante Moran, would have caused Plante Moran to make reference thereto in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and (2) there were no “reportable events” as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company previously disclosed this information in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 18, 2023, provided Plant Moran with a copy of the disclosures, and requested that Plant Moran furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements therein. A copy of the letter dated August 18, 2023 was filed as an exhibit to such Form 8-K.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table represents aggregate fees billed to the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by the Company’s independent registered accounting firms during such fiscal years.

In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed for services provided related to the audit of our annual financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim financial statements, and services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal periods. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the independent accountant for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements. These audit-related fees also consist of the review of our registration statements filed with the SEC and related services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the independent accountant for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the independent accountant for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

Pre-Approval Policy

It is the Audit Committee’s policy to approve in advance the types and amounts of audit, audit-related, tax, and any other services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. In situations where it is not practicable to obtain full Audit Committee approval, the Audit Committee has delegated authority to the Chair of the Audit Committee to grant pre-approval of auditing, audit-related, tax, and all other services up to $25,000. Any pre-approved decisions by the Chair are required to be reviewed with the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee approved 100% of all services provided by Plante Moran during 2023 and 2022 and services provided by Grant Thornton during 2023.
