The audit report of Withum on RTPZ’s financial statements as of December 31, 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and the subsequent interim period through August 16, 2021, there were (i) no disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which if not resolved to Withum’s satisfaction, would have caused Withum to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Withum with a copy of disclosures it is making in this Form 8-K and requested that Withum furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements above. A copy of Withum’s letter dated August 16, 2021 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
