Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On December 18, 2023, Edgio, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), had decided to resign as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, effective that day. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company accepted EY’s resignation.
The Company and the Audit Committee have been in discussions with other independent registered public accounting firms and have received two proposals for a new independent registered public accounting firm to represent the Company for the year ending December 31, 2023.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended on December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the subsequent interim periods through the date of this Form 8-K: (i) there were no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) between the Company and EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such periods; and (ii) EY’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended on December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the subsequent interim periods through the date of this Form 8-K, there were no reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), except that, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022, management identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 related to (1) Non-routine/complex transactions, (2) Revenue accounting system controls and (3) Financial close and reporting processes.
The Company has provided EY with a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and requested that EY furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether EY agrees with the disclosures contained herein. A copy of EY’s letter, dated December 21, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
