Item 4.01.   Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
Independent registered public accounting firm being dismissed.
On March 25, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors ratified the recommendation of the Audit Committee that Perry-Smith LLP (“Perry-Smith”) be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Perry-Smith’s reports on the Company’s 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-Smith’s 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-Smith’s 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 Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent periods prior to the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
