As previously reported in the Form 8-K, on March 11, 2019, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
