Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

  

(a)    On November 30, 2017, BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) advised the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”) of STG Group, Inc. (the “Company”) of BDO’s resignation as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective on that date. Neither the Chairman nor the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which committee ceased to function as of November 20, 2017 (the “Audit Committee”), requested, recommended or approved the resignation of BDO.

 

BDO’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date of BDO’s resignation, there were, insofar as the Chairman is aware (1) no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such years and (2) no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The Company provided BDO with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) and requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. Such letter is filed as Exhibit 16 to this report.

 

(b)    The Company does not expect that it will be able to appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm in light of the exercise by MC Admin Co LLC (“MC Admin”) of its rights to vote the shares of STG Group Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings”) following the Company’s default under the term of its Credit Agreement, dated as of November 23, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Holdings, STG, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (“STG”), Access Systems, Incorporated, various lenders, MC Admin, as administrative agent and lead arranger, and PNC Bank, National Association, as collateral agent.
