Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Account.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 24, 2023 by Organovo Holdings, Inc. (the Company”), on July 18, 2023, Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (“MHM”) informed the Company and the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors that it would not stand for re-election as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. MHM ceased to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on August 10, 2023, the date of the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023.

On August 31, 2023, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman P.A. (“RRBB P.A.”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of August 31, 2023. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through August 31, 2023, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted RRBB P.A. regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by RRBB P.A. that RRBB P.A. concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
