(a) | Change in independent registered public accounting firm |
WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm of ENVI prior to the completion of the Business Combination. Accordingly, Withum was informed that the Board approved Withum’s dismissal as GreenLight Holdings’ independent registered public accounting firm once it completes the audit of ENVI’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
On February 7, 2022, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as GreenLight Holdings’ principal independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of GreenLight Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Neither the report of Withum on ENVI’s balance sheet as of January 19, 2021 nor the report of Withum on ENVI’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, the statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from July 2, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than the restatement of ENVI’s balance sheet and the emphasis of matter regarding ENVI’s ability to continue as a going concern as of January 19, 2021.
During the period from July 2, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through February 6, 2022, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) between ENVI and Withum 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 Withum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on ENVI’s financial statements.
During the period from July 2, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through February 6, 2022, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), other than the occurrence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 as a result of ENVI’s disclosure controls not being effective for such quarterly periods.
GreenLight Holdings has provided Withum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures in this Item 4.01(a) and has requested that Withum furnish GreenLight Holdings with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by GreenLight Holdings set forth above. A copy of Withum’s letter, dated February 7, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
