On October 8, 2009, ViewPoint Financial Group (the “Registrant”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC (File No. 001-32992) disclosing that, on October 6, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2010 fiscal year, and notified Crowe Horwath LLP of its decision not to renew Crowe Horwath LLP’s engagement as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm following completion of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and through March 4, 2010, the Registrant had (i) no disagreements with Crowe Horwath LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which that, if not resolved to Crowe Horwath LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of any such disagreement in connection with its reports for such year, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Crowe Horwath LLP’s reports dated March 4, 2010 on the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The Registrant has provided Crowe Horwath LLP a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A prior to filing with the SEC and requested that Crowe Horwath LLP furnish the Registrant with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Crowe Horwath LLP agrees with the above statements.
