On March 23, 2022, we were dismissed. We have read the Company’s statements included under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K dated March 29, 2022, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with the Company’s statement that the change was approved by the Audit Committee of the board of directors, and we are not in a position to agree or disagree with the Company’s statement that Deloitte & Touche LLP was not engaged regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Very truly yours,
