The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent registered public accounting firms.

 

 

(iv)

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and through November 9, 2022, there have been no disagreements with Liggett & Webb, P.A., 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 Liggett & Webb, P.A., would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its report on the financial statements for such years.
