Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On February 3, 2016, Righstcorp, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Haynie & Company (“Haynie”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of Haynie was in effect from January 11, 2016 through February 3, 2016 and, therefore, Haynie did not provide any audit services to the Company. During the two most recent fiscal years and through February 3, 2016 there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and Haynie on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Haynie, would have caused Haynie to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On February 3, 2016, the Company engaged Weinberg & Company, P.A. (“Weinberg) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through February 3, 2016, the Company has not consulted with Weinberg with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

The dismissal of Haynie and the engagement of Weinberg was approved by the Company’s board of directors.

The Company provided Haynie with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that Haynie furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Haynie agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits.
