Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On May 22, 2023, following discussions with the Chairman of the Audit Committee of RumbleOn, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors, Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“Independent Accountant”), advised the Company that it would not stand for re-appointment as the Company’s Independent Accountant for the year ending December 31, 2023. Grant Thornton will continue its engagement in connection with the quarterly periods ending June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, if requested. The Company has begun the process of evaluating other independent registered public accounting firms to replace Grant Thornton.
Grant Thornton has served as the Company’s Independent Accountant since May 26, 2022. Grant Thornton audited the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Grant Thornton’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was the report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the subsequent interim period through May 22, 2023, there were (i) no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make a reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions), except that Grant Thornton issued an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 as a result of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company provided Grant Thornton a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that Grant Thornton provide the Company a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of the letter dated May 25, 2023, furnished by Grant Thornton in response to that request is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
