Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On November 1, 2024, MSL, P.A. (“MSL”), ParkerVision, Inc.’s (the “Company”) independent registered public accounting firm, notified the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Committee”) and Company management that MSL (i) entered into a transaction with Forvis Mazars, LLP (“Forvis Mazars”), whereby substantially all of the shareholders and employees of MSL became partners and employees of Forvis Mazars effective such date, (ii) will no longer be providing accounting and auditing services and (iii) will cease its services as the Company’s accountants upon completion of the review of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024. The Committee has commenced a search for a successor independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit report of MSL on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for the qualification related to the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 and for the subsequent interim period through November 1, 2024, (i) there were no disagreements with MSL on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to MSL’s satisfaction, would have caused MSL to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its report for such year and (ii) there were no reportable events as the term described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission from MSL is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
