| Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
(a) Dismissal of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP
On June 27, 2024, TLGY Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) dismissed Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements, to be effective immediately. The dismissal of Marcum Asia was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”).
Marcum Asia’s audit reports on the Company’s financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that such report contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because of the Company’s liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through June 27, 2024, there were no (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and the related instructions to that Item) with Marcum Asia on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum Asia would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report, or (ii) “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.
The Company has provided Marcum Asia with a copy of the disclosure made in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested that Marcum Asia provide a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission confirming their agreement with the disclosure contained herein. A copy of Marcum Asia’s letter to the SEC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
(b) Engagement of WithumSmith+Brown, PC
On June 28, 2024, the Company engaged WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of Withum was approved by Audit Committee.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through June 27, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Withum regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Withum concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and the related instructions to that Item) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).
