Item 4.01 - Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On October 13, 2021, the audit committee of the board of directors of KORE Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) approved the engagement of BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. BDO served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Maple Holdings Inc. prior to the business combination between the Company and Cerberus Telecom Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CTAC”) (the “Merger”). Accordingly, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), the Company’s and CTAC’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Merger, was informed that it would be replaced by BDO as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Withum’s audit reports on the financial statements of CTAC for the period from September 8, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2021, did not provide an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion to the Company’s financial statements, nor modify its opinion as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
As of March 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through October 13, 2021, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and Withum on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Withum’s satisfaction, would have caused Withum to make reference thereto in their reports; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Withum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Withum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Withum’s letter, dated October 19, 2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
