Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) On March 10, 2022, A SPAC I Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) dismissed Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“BP”) as its independent registered public accountants and engaged Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“MBP”) as its independent registered public accountants. The engagement of MBP has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
BP’s reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the period from April 29, 2021 (inception) through March 10, 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the period from April 29, 2021 (inception) through March 10, 2022, there were no disagreements with BP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to BP satisfaction would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the period from April 29, 2021 (inception) through March 10, 2022, there were no “reportable events” of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, we furnished BP with a copy of this Form 8-K on March 10, 2022 providing BP with the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company under this Item 4.01 in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K as the same pertains to BP and, if not, stating the respect in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
(b) On March 10, 2022, the Company engaged MBP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective upon the termination of BP. The retention of MBP was approved by the Audit Committee. During the period from April 29, 2021 (inception) through March 10, 2022, the Company did not consult with MBP with respect to any matter whatsoever including without limitation with respect to any of (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or an event of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
