INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT
On July 25, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company") approved the appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors Accountants S.A. ("Ernst & Young") as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The Company's previous independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.A. ("PwC"), will not stand for re-election at the Company's annual general meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on September 5, 2012. A resolution ratifying the appointment of Ernst & Young will be included in the proposals for the Company's annual general meeting of shareholders.
The reports of PwC on the Company's financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and through July 25, 2012, there were no reportable events, as that term is described in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, and through July 25, 2012, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which such disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in their reports. The Company has requested PwC to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, and through July 25, 2012, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Ernst & Young on the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F of Form 20-F, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
