Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
As previously disclosed by TriMas Corporation (the “Company”) in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 6, 2013, as amended by a Form 8-K/A filed on March 14, 2013, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company approved the dismissal of KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm upon completion of both (i) KPMG's review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three-months ending March 31, 2013 and (ii) the engagement of a new independent registered public accounting firm. On February 28, 2013, the Company notified KPMG that the Audit Committee would conduct a competitive process to select a firm to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. As a result of this process, on March 27, 2013, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the subsequent interim period through March 27, 2013 (the date of the engagement of Deloitte), neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte with respect to: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or “reportable event” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
