Item 4.01 Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On June 6, 2013, Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (the Company) notified Grant Thornton LLP (Grant Thornton), the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, that the Companys Audit Committee decided to dismiss Grant Thornton as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm.
Grant Thorntons reports on the Companys financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and January 29, 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and neither such report was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and January 29, 2013 and through June 6, 2013, (i) there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no reportable events as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K, other than the material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting that were previously reported in the Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2011, which have been remediated as previously reported in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended November 1, 2011.
The Company has provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the above disclosures. A copy of Grant Thorntons letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission required by Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K is included as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Companys Audit Committee decided to engage Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm effective June 6, 2013. Deloitte will act as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm beginning with the fiscal year ending January 28, 2014.
During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and January 29, 2013 and through June 6, 2013, the Company did not consult with Deloitte 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 on the Companys financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
