(a) Dismissal of Former Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On March 11, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the dismissal of Bush & Associates CPA LLC (“Bush”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective March 12, 2026.

Bush’s reports on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that the audit reports of Bush on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 included an explanatory paragraph that described factors that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and in the subsequent interim period through March 11, 2026, (i) there were no disagreements with Bush (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K (“Regulation S-K”) of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that if not resolved to Bush’s satisfaction, would have caused Bush to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events (as defined by Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for the material weaknesses in the Company’s disclosure control and control over financial reporting previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, on March 11, 2026, the Company provided Bush with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Bush provide a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of Bush’s letter dated March 12, 2026 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On March 11, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the appointment of Beckles & Co. (“Beckles”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, effective March 12, 2026, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through March 11, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Beckles with respect to 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 consolidated financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided by Beckles to the Company that Beckles concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of either a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
