Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):

On July 14, 2014, the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Multi-Color Corporation (“Multi-Color”) dismissed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), Multi-Color’s existing independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.

During Multi-Color’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and the subsequent interim period through July 14, 2014, there were (i) no disagreements between Multi-Color and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its opinion on the consolidated financial statement for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” (as defined in Regulation S-K 304(a)(1)(v) except that the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting were identified: (1) failure to maintain a sufficient complement of corporate accounting and finance personnel to design and execute an effective system of internal controls in accordance with an appropriate framework; (2) failure to adequately restrict our general information technology controls intended to ensure that access to applications and data, and the ability to place program changes into production for such applications and data to the appropriate personnel resulting from inadequate segregation of duties; and (3) inappropriate design and ineffective operation of our internal controls over the accounting for restructuring activities, loss contingencies, business combinations, inventory, cost of sales, the sale and leaseback of equipment, and accounting for the valuation of long-lived assets, including property, plant equipment, amortizing intangible assets and goodwill, as well as failure to maintain sufficient documentary evidence of the controls’ operating effectiveness to demonstrate that the controls, as designed, would detect a material misstatement in Multi-Color’s consolidated financial statements.

KPMG’s audit report on Multi-Color’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 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. The audit report of KPMG on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that KPMG’s report indicates that Multi-Color did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014 because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above.

Multi-Color provided KPMG with a copy of the disclosure contained in this Form 8-K and requested that KPMG furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter, dated July 18, 2014 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
