Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Dismissal of Principal Accountant

On March 21, 2007, Medivation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), dismissed Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP (“SLGG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The reports of SLGG on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and through March 21, 2007, there were no disagreements with SLGG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company requested that SLGG furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether SLGG agrees with the statements above. A copy of the letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Appointment of New Principal Accountant

On March 21, 2007, the Company engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and through March 21, 2007, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding either: (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 consolidated financial statements, and no written report was provided to the Company and no oral advice was provided that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company 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 or a “reportable event” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
