Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant |
Independent registered public accounting firm being dismissed.
On March 25, 2011 the Companys Board of Directors ratified the recommendation of the Audit
Committee that Perry-Smith LLP (Perry-Smith) be dismissed as the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm. Perry-Smiths reports on the Companys consolidated financial statements
as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principle.
During the year ended December 31, 2010 and through the date of this filing, there were no
disagreements with Perry-Smith on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to
Perry-Smiths satisfaction, would have caused Perry-Smith to make reference thereon in their
reports on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. Also during that period
there have been no reportable events described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Perry-Smith with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and requested that Perry-Smith furnish a
letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made above. Attached as
Exhibit 16 hereto is a copy of Perry-Smiths letter to the SEC dated March 30, 2011.
New independent registered public accounting firm.
On March 25, 2011, the Company appointed KPMG LLP (KPMG) as the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. During the Companys two
most recent fiscal years and any subsequent periods prior to the Companys engagement of that firm,
neither the Company or anyone acting on its behalf consulted with KPMG LLP regarding the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the
type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial statements, any matters
being the subject of a disagreement or reportable event or any other matter as defined in Items
304(a)(1)(iv) or (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
