Dear Ms. Espinosa,
On March 12, 2021, the Company informed its prior auditors, BKD, that they would be replaced as auditors for the year ended December 31, 2020 by Grant Thornton LLP. There were no disagreements with BKD over accounting issues, and the reason for the replacement was to align all of the audits for the Company and its affiliated insurance entities under one firm, Grant Thornton LLP.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lori Pitta
