Through the two year period covered by the financial statement audits for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2024 through December 6, 2024, there have been no disagreements with Smythe 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 Smythe would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements and (ii) no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
