Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On October 23, 2014, Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc. (“BPM”) the independent registered public accounting firm of Prosper Marketplace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PMI”) and Prosper Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Prosper Funding”), was dismissed by each of PMI and Prosper Funding. Also, on October 23, 2014, each of PMI and Prosper Funding engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. PMI’s and Prosper Funding’s decision to dismiss BPM and to engage Deloitte was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of PMI on October 23, 2014 and the Board of Directors of Prosper Funding on October 23, 2014.

BPM served as the independent registered public accounting firm of PMI and Prosper Funding solely for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. OUM & Co. L.L.P. (“OUM”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm of PMI and Prosper Funding for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

None of the reports of OUM on the consolidated financial statements for PMI and Prosper Funding for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 or the reports of BPM on the consolidated financial statements for PMI and Prosper Funding for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 or any subsequent interim periods contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports of OUM and BPM qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During PMI’s and Prosper Funding’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, with respect to OUM, and 2013 and the subsequent interim periods through the date of dismissal, with respect to BPM, there were no disagreements with OUM or BPM on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of OUM or BPM, as applicable, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports on the financial statements for those periods. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, and through the date of this Form 8-K, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 and through the date of this Form 8-K, neither PMI, Prosper Funding, nor anyone acting on their behalf, consulted with Deloitte 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 PMI’s or Prosper Funding’s consolidated financial statements, or any matters that were either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). Prior to PMI’s and Prosper Funding’s engagement of Deloitte, Deloitte did not provide PMI or Prosper Funding with either written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by either PMI or Prosper Funding in reaching a decision to dismiss BPM as its independent registered public accounting firm.

PMI and Prosper Funding provided BPM with a copy of the foregoing disclosures on this Form 8-K and requested that BPM furnish PMI and Prosper Funding with a letter addressed to the Securities Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements as they relate to BPM, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. PMI and Prosper Funding have received the requested letter from BPM stating that it does agree, and a copy of the letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
