Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On July 25, 2023, Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (“MHM”) informed SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors that it would not stand for re-election as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. MHM will cease to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the earlier of the date a new firm is engaged, the date of the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, or August 21, 2023.
MHM is not required to and did not seek the Company’s consent to its decision to resign as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor the Company’s Audit Committee took part in MHM’s decision to resign. The Company is in the process of selecting a new independent registered public accounting firm.
MHM audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. MHM’s report, dated April 14, 2023, with respect to the consolidated financial statements of SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (i) did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such report contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, (ii) did not advise the Company of any “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K with respect to the Company other than in connection with management’s conclusions in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 14, 2023 (as amended), that the Company did not design appropriate review controls surrounding technical accounting matters and significant and/or unusual transactions, which resulted in a material error that was corrected through the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the correction of the unaudited quarterly financial information for period endings March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022.
The Company provided MHM with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K in accordance with Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K prior to its filing with the Commission and requested that MHM furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from MHM is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
