On July 22, 2016, each of Cleco Corporate Holdings LLC (“Cleco”) and Cleco Power LLC (“Cleco Power” and, together with Cleco, collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as their respective independent registered public accounting firm beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The decision to engage PwC was approved by each of the Boards of Managers of Cleco and Cleco Power.
Prior to engaging PwC, the Company did not consult with PwC on any matter that (i) involved the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, in each case where a written report was provided or oral advice was provided that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) was either the subject of disagreement, as that term is defined 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 that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
