(a)

Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Accounting Firm
|
On
May 4, 2020, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors of XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), informed
CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”)
of its decision to dismiss CohnReznick as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of that date.
CohnReznick’s
report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, did not contain
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles,
other than, in each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, to include an explanatory paragraph
regarding substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During
the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the subsequent interim period through May 4, 2020, there were no “disagreements”
(as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions to Item 304) with CohnReznick 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 CohnReznick would have caused CohnReznick
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements or reportable events
in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the years
ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the subsequent interim period through May 4, 2020, there have been no “reportable events”
(as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for
the material weakness identified in the Company’s internal control over its financial close and reporting process.
The Company provided
CohnReznick with a copy of the disclosure it is making herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and requested
that CohnReznick furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating whether CohnReznick agrees with the statements made by the Company
in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy of CohnReznick’s letter to the SEC dated May 5, 2020 is filed
as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
|
On
May 4, 2020, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”)
as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, effective
immediately. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and through the subsequent interim period
as of May 4, 2020, neither the Company, nor any party on behalf of the Company, consulted with Friedman regarding either (i) the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the audit opinion that might
be rendered regarding the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided
to the Company that Friedman concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in deciding on any accounting, auditing
or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter subject to any “disagreement” (as such term is defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as such term is defined in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
