Item 4.01.     Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On April 19, 2018, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of NanoVibronix, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018. Marcum has informed the Company that it completed the prospective client evaluation process on April 27, 2018. In connection with the selection of Marcum, also on April 27, 2018, the Audit Committee informed Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member firm of Ernst & Young Global (“E&Y”) that it was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of the date thereof.

 

Prior to the appointment of Marcum, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf had consulted with Marcum with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or any other matter or reportable event listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

During the period from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2017, and subsequently during the period from December 31, 2017, through April 27, 2018, the date of E&Y’s dismissal, there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, had it not been resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused E&Y to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such periods. During the same periods, there have been no “reportable events,” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Company for the two most recent fiscal years, ended December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for the audit report on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, which included an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company provided E&Y with a copy of the above disclosure and requested that E&Y furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made by the Company above. A copy of E&Y’s letter dated May 3, 2018, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT

On April 30, 2018, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A in connection with the solicitation of proxies for its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”). The Company, its directors and certain of its executive officers will be participants in the solicitation of proxies from stockholders in respect of the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Information regarding the names of the Company’s directors and executive officers and their respective interests in the Company by security holdings or otherwise is set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND Stockholders OF THE COMPANY ARE URGED TO READ ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH OR FURNISHED TO THE SEC, INCLUDING THE COMPANY’S DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY SUPPLEMENTS THERETO, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. The Company is distributing the proxy materials to certain stockholders via the Internet under the U.S. SEC “Notice and Access” rules. The Company is mailing to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials beginning on or about April 30, 2018, rather than a paper copy of the Definitive Proxy Statement, the proxy card and our 2017 Annual Report, which includes the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.  Stockholder may also obtain a free copy of the Definitive Proxy Statement and other relevant documents that the Company files with the SEC from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or access the proxy materials at www.proxyvote.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
