a) On
January 22, 2011, RBC Bearings Incorporated (the “Company”), with the approval
of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, dismissed
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm.
During
the period from June 10, 2010 (the date of appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP) through January 22, 2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP had not performed any
audits of the Company's financial statements.
In
connection with the period from June 10, 2010 through January 22,
2011 there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any
matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make reference thereto in their report on the
Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending April 2,
2011.
For the
period from June 10, 2010 through January 22, 2011, there were no "reportable
events" as defined in Regulation S-K 304(a)(1)(v).
The
Company provided PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with a copy of the above disclosures
and requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish the Company a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it
agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated January 27, 2011
is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
b) On
January 27, 2011, the Company, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors, appointed Ernst & Young LLP as its independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 2,
2011. Ernst & Young LLP previously reported on the Company’s
financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 3, 2010 and March 28,
2009. From June 9, 2010 through January 27, 2011, neither the Company
nor anyone on the Company's behalf consulted Ernst & Young LLP regarding any
of the matters referred to in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation
S-K.
