Item 4.01						Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 30, 2024, on January 24, 2024, RSM US LLP (“RSM”) notified the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Movella Holdings Inc. (the "Company") of its resignation as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and effective January 24, 2024, the client-auditor relationship between the Company and RSM ceased.

On March 19, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors appointed Marcum LLP ("Marcum") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective March 19, 2024. The decision to appoint Marcum was recommended and approved by our Audit Committee following the Committee's process to determine the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through March 19, 2024, neither the Company, nor anyone on the Company's behalf, consulted with Marcum regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and Marcum did not provide any written report or oral advice that Marcum concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; (iii) any matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or (iv) any "reportable event" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
