| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On May 13, 2024, Stran & Company, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company has postponed its conference call that
was previously scheduled at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, to discuss
its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s
corporate progress and other developments, in light of the matters described therein. A copy of the press release is furnished
as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
The
information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto), shall not be deemed “filed” for 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, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a
filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
The press release and the
statements contained therein include “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally
relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements
because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “seeks,” “future,”
“continue,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of such
terms, or other comparable terminology that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements relating
to expectations about future results or events are based upon information available to the Company as of today’s date and are not
guarantees of the future performance of the Company, and actual results may vary materially from the results and expectations discussed.
The Company’s expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including risks and uncertainties
described in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning
the Company or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety
by the cautionary statements above. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any of these forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof, except as required by law.
| Item 4.01 | Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
Effective May 13, 2024, the Company dismissed BF Borgers
CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.
BF Borgers’ audit reports on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and
2022, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this report, there were no disagreements, as that term is defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, between the Company and BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to BF Borgers’ satisfaction, would have caused
BF Borgers to make reference to such disagreements in its audit reports.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and
2022, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this report, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) has advised that, in lieu of obtaining a letter from BF Borgers stating whether or not it agrees with
the statements herein, the Company may indicate that BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the SEC for reasons
described in the SEC’s Order Instituting Public Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities
Act of 1933, Sections 4C and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 102(e) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, Making
Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order, dated May 3, 2024.
