Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a)
Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Effective
on December 19, 2017, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Wizard World, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed
Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company (“RRBB”), as the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm.
RRBB’s
report on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and in the subsequent interim periods through December 19, 2017, the date of dismissal of RRBB,
there were no disagreements with RRBB 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 RRBB, would have caused them to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such year. During the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2016 and 2015, and in the subsequent interim period through December 19, 2017, the date of dismissal of RRBB, there
were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The
Company has provided a copy of the above disclosures to RRBB and requested RRBB to provide it with a letter addressed to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not RRBB agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of RRBB’s letter,
dated December 28, 2017, confirming its agreement with the disclosures in this Item 4.01 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to
this Form 8-K.
(b)
New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Effective
on December 26, 2017, the Board approved the engagement of Maughan Sullivan LLC (“Maughan”), as the Company’s
new independent registered public accounting firm.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Maughan, the Company has
not consulted Maughan regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or
proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and either a written
report was provided to the registrant or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered
by the registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (iii) any matter that
was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
