As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 7, 2023, Armanino LLP (“Armanino”), the Company’s predecessor auditor, informed the Company that Armanino would resign as a result of Armanino’s determination to cease providing certain services to public companies.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided Armanino with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Armanino a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures.
