Resignation of Existing Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
On April 12, 2022, Grant Thornton LLP (Canada) (“Grant Thornton
Canada”) notified Neovasc Inc. (the “Company”) of its intention to resign as the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm, effective as of April 12, 2022.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the
subsequent interim period through April 12, 2022, (i) there were no “disagreements” (as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of
Form 20-F and the related instructions) between the Company and Grant Thornton Canada on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to Grant Thornton Canada’s
satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton Canada to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement in connection with
its opinion or audit report, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as the term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of
Form 20-F.
Appointment of New Independent Registered Accounting Firm
On
March 9, 2022, the Company, with the approval of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit
Committee”), resolved to propose that the shareholders of the Company appoint Grant Thornton LLP (US) (“Grant Thornton US”)
as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective upon the ratification at the Company’s annual
general and special meeting of shareholders to be held on April 12, 2022.
During
the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through April 12, 2022, neither the Company, nor anyone
on its behalf, consulted Grant Thornton US regarding (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 Company’s financial statements, and no written
report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Grant Thornton US that Grant Thornton US concluded 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 that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions)
or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F).
