with the Former Accounting Firm on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope

provided to us nor oral advice was provided that the New Accounting Firm concluded was an important factor considered by the Company

of disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (within the meaning
