Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
The Audit Committee of the board of Directors of Ennis, Inc. has completed a competitive process to review the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023. The Audit Committee invited several firms, including its current independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP to participate in this process.
As a result of this process, on August 11, 2022, the Audit Committee of Ennis, Inc. (the "Company"),
approved the engagement of BKM Sowan Horan, LLP ("BKM") as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, effective immediately, and dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
Grant Thornton LLP's audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles
During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2022, and 2021, and the subsequent interim periods through August 11, 2022, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation SK.
The Company provided Grant Thornton LLP with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Grant Thornton LLP furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Grant Thornton LLP’s letter dated August 15, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2022, and 2021, and the subsequent interim periods through August 11, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with BKM regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that BKM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
