Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On June 30, 2014, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) acquired certain assets of ROTHSTEIN-KASS, P.A. (d/b/a Rothstein Kass & Company, P.C.) and certain of its affiliates (“Rothstein Kass”), the independent registered public accounting firm for Boulevard Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”).  As a result of this transaction, on June 30, 2014, Rothstein Kass resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. The Company is actively seeking a new independent registered public accounting firm. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules, the Company will disclose its engagement of a new independent registered public accounting firm once the engagement has been finalized.

 

The audit report of Rothstein Kass on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. As the Company was formed on October 24, 2013, the Company did not have financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

During the period from October 24, 2013 (the date of the Company’s inception) through December 31, 2013 and through the subsequent interim period preceding Rothstein Kass’s resignation, there were no disagreements between the Company and Rothstein Kass on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Rothstein Kass, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the Company’s financial statements for such year.

 

During the period from October 24, 2013 (the date of the Company’s inception) through December 31, 2013 and through the subsequent interim period preceding Rothstein Kass’s resignation, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided Rothstein Kass a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and requested that Rothstein Kass furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements herein.  A copy of this letter, dated July 7, 2014, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
