Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP. On March 25, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of MiMedx Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of, and on March 29, 2021 executed an agreement with, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted Deloitte regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” (as those terms are defined in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K).
Dismissal of BDO USA, LLP. In light of its engagement of Deloitte for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Audit Committee dismissed BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective March 25, 2021.
BDO’s reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 and as of December 31, 2019 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
During the period from May 24, 2019 through March 25, 2021, there were no “disagreements” as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit report. Also, during this same period, there were no “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided BDO with a copy of the foregoing disclosures prior to the filing of this current report and requested that BDO furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether BDO agreed with the above statements. A copy of BDO’s letter dated March 30, 2021 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
