Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On June 6, 2002, the Board of Directors of Intrado Inc. ("Intrado"), based on the recommendation of Intrado's Audit Committee, decided to dismiss Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") as its independent auditors and to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers") as its new independent auditors for 2002. The change in auditors is effective immediately.
Arthur Andersen's reports on Intrado's consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the interim period between December 31, 2001 and the date of this Form 8-K, there were no disagreements between Intrado and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Intrado has provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Arthur Andersen's letter, dated June 10, 2002, stating its agreement with the foregoing disclosures.
During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through the date of this Form 8-K, neither Intrado nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted PricewaterhouseCoopers with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Intrado's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K. Intrado's Audit Committee engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers beginning in November 2001 to perform limited scope evaluation of Intrado's internal control systems. The reviews are expected to be completed by June 30, 2002. The fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers for these services will not exceed $60,000.
