Item 4.01. |
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
On February 14, 2022, Electric Last Mile Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”)
announced that BDO, LLP (“BDO”) had resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “February 14 Current Report”) in connection
therewith.
At the time of the filing of the February 14 Current Report, BDO had not
provided the Company with the required auditor letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), stating
whether BDO agrees with the statements made by the Company in Item 4.01 of the February 14 Current Report. The Company received this letter
(the “BDO Letter”) on March 1, 2022. A copy of the BDO Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
The BDO Letter does not address the concerns we have previously raised
in the February 14 Current Report regarding BDO’s compliance with applicable auditor independence requirements of the SEC and the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In particular, we note the following:
|
• |
BDO continues to refuse to provide the analysis in support of its independence determination despite
having provided advice to Mr. Luo and his affiliates. |
|
|
|
|
• |
BDO does not dispute the fact that BDO did provide advice to Mr. Luo and his affiliates, a fact
that bears on its independence status (although BDO disputes the characterization of that advice and the name of the BDO group that provided
the advice). |
|
|
|
|
• |
BDO does not dispute that BDO failed to disclose this engagement in its letter
to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, dated July 15, 2021, in which BDO purported to list relationships between
the Company and BDO and its affiliates that may reasonably be thought to bear on its independence. |
|
|
|
|
• |
BDO agrees that it had a legal obligation to include in its audit “procedures designed to
identify related party transactions that are material to the financial statements or otherwise require disclosure therein” and that
the Company did in fact bring these transactions to BDO’s attention. |
