Item 4.01.   Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

As On Track Innovations Ltd. (the “ Company ”) disclosed on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2019, the Company decided on April 3, 2019, not to re-appoint Somekh Chaikin, a member of KPMG International (“ Somekh Chaikin ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal of Somekh Chaikin was approved by the Audit Committee (the “ Audit Committee ”) of the board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”), without conducting a hearing to Somekh Chaikin, who waived this right granted to them under the Israeli Companies Law of 1999 (the “ Companies Law ”). On April 3, 2019 and April 4, 2019, the Audit Committee and the Board, respectively, recommended to appoint Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited (“ PwC ”), subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Under the Companies Law, the Audit Committee’s and the Board’s recommendation regarding the appointment of the Company’s independent registered accounting firm is subject to shareholder approval and therefore was presented to the shareholders for a vote at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, which was held on May 14, 2019 (the “ Meeting ”). As detailed below, under Item 5.07- Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders - Proposal No. 4 — Appointment of Auditors, the shareholders approved the appointment of PwC, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm until the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders, and the authorization of the Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, to determine their remuneration in accordance with the volume and nature of their services.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the subsequent interim period through April 3, 2019, the Company has not consulted with PwC 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 Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor was oral advice provided that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

 

Item 5.07.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
