Item 4.01 Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
The Audit Committee of Quanex Building Products Corporation (the Company) recently completed a competitive process to determine
what audit firm would serve as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended October 31, 2014. As a result of that competitive process and based on approval of the Companys Audit Committee, on
April 10, 2014, Deloitte & Touche LLP (D&T) was dismissed as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
The reports of D&T on the Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012
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 years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, and through April 10, 2014, there were no (a) disagreements with D&T on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to D&Ts satisfaction, would have caused D&T to make reference to the subject matter
thereof in connection with its reports for such years; or (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided D&T with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from D&T a
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of D&Ts letter dated April 15, 2014, is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
Contemporaneous with the determination to dismiss D&T and with approval of the Companys Audit Committee, the Company engaged Grant
Thornton LLP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended October 31, 2014, also to be effective immediately.
During the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the subsequent interim period through April 10, 2014, the Company did not
consult with Grant Thornton LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
