Item 4.01 Changes in Company’s
Certifying Accountant.
| (a) | Previous
independent registered public accounting firm: |
On
November 30, 2023, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors
(the “Board”) of BAIYU Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), approved the appointment
of Enrome LLP (“Enrome”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2023 and dismissed Audit Alliance LLP (“AA”), effective November 30, 2023.
For the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, AA’s audit reports on the Company’s financial statements did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified as to audit scope or accounting principles.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and any subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, November
30, 2023, (i) there were no “disagreements” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions) between the Company and AA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to AA’s satisfaction, would have caused AA to make reference in connection
with AA’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as the
term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We
furnished a copy of the disclosures in this report to AA and have requested that AA furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating
whether such firm agrees with the above statements or, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. We have received the requested
letter from AA, and a copy of the letter is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 16.1.
| (b) | Newly
Appointed independent registered public accounting firm: |
On
November 30, 2023, the Audit Committee and the Board have approved the appointment of Enrome as the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2023, effective November 30, 2023.
During
the two most recent fiscal years and through November 30, 2023, the Company has not consulted with Enrome regarding (1) any matter
that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v), respectively, or (2) any matter
that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.
