Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

(a) Termination of Previous Independent Registered Accounting Firm

 

On November 20, 2024, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) was dismissed by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of that date. Marcum’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than in the year ended December 31, 2023, it included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and in the year ended December 31, 2022, it included an explanatory paragraph regarding restatement of previously issued financial statements to correct certain misstatements.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the subsequent interim period through December 20, 2023, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304) with Marcum 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 Marcum would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements or reportable events in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years and interim periods.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period through November 20, 2024, the Company disclosed several material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (the “Form 10-K”). As disclosed in Item 9A to the Form 10-K, the Company’s management concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses identified in internal control over financial reporting, However, after giving full consideration to the material weakness, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K were prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. Marcum provided written communication to the Audit Committee regarding this material weakness and the subject matter of this material weakness was discussed by the Company’s management and the Audit Committee with Marcum.

 

There have been no other “reportable events” (as such 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 Marcum with a copy of the disclosure it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Marcum agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Marcum’s letter to the SEC dated December 20, 2023 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On November 20, 2024, the Company’s Audit Committee approved the engagement of PKF O’Connor Davies (“PKF”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, effective immediately. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and through the subsequent interim period as of November 20, 2024, neither the Company, nor any party on behalf of the Company, consulted with PKF regarding either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the audit opinion that might be rendered regarding the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that PKF concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in deciding on any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (b) any matter subject of any “disagreement” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
