Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 15, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Travelzoo, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board, dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of PwC on the Company’s financial statements for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the subsequent interim period through April 15, 2019, there were:
(i) no “disagreements” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Regulation S-K”) and the related instructions thereto) with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; and
(ii) no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto).
The Company has provided PwC with the disclosures under this Item 4.01(a) prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and has requested PwC to furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.01(a) and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of PwC’s letter dated April 16, 2019 is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 15, 2019, the Board, upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, approved the appointment of RSM US LLP (“RSM”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon the dismissal of PwC. RSM was engaged by the Company on April 16, 2019, subject to RSM completing its client acceptance process. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the subsequent interim period through April 15, 2019, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted RSM regarding any of the matters described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
