Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Travelzoo Inc. (the “Company”) has completed a selection process to determine the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As a result of this process and following careful deliberation, the Audit Committee, along with the support of the Board of Directors, approved the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of June 20, 2016. This action dismissed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of that same date.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through June 20, 2016, there were:
(i) no “disagreements” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; and
(ii) no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The reports of KPMG on the Company’s financial statements for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The Company has provided KPMG with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested KPMG to furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of KPMG’s letter dated June 20, 2016 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
As set forth above, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of June 20, 2016. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through June 20, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted PwC regarding:
(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 no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
(ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
