Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants

Appointment of Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC (“Sadler Gibb”) as Independent Registered Public Accountant

On May 3, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) entered an order instituting settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA, permanently barring Mr. Borgers and Borgers (collectively, “BF Borgers”) from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant (the “Order”). As a result of the Order, BF Borgers may no longer serve as urban-gro, Inc.’s (the “Company”) independent registered public accounting firm, nor can BF Borgers issue any audit reports included in Commission filings or provide consents with respect to audit reports.

As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 6, 2024, in light of the Order, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company on May 6, 2024, unanimously approved the dismissal of BF Borgers as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

On May 29, 2024, the Committee unanimously approved the engagement of Sadler, Gibb & Associates LLC (“Sadler Gibb”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The engagement letter with Sadler Gibb was signed on May 29, 2024.

During the two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through May 29, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Sadler Gibb with respect to (i) 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Sadler Gibb concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K; or (iii) any “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 30, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Sadler Gibb. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, unless specifically identified as being incorporated therein by reference.
