Item 4.01

Change in Certifying Accountant
|
(a) Resignation of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
On September 5, 2012, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) notified STEC, Inc. (the Company) of its resignation as the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm, effective immediately. The decision to resign was made by PwC and, accordingly, no action was taken by the Companys Audit Committee or Board of Directors to recommend or approve this change in accountants.
The reports of PwC on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the Companys last two fiscal years did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles in any respect.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through September 5, 2012, there were no disagreements between the Company and PwC on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to PwCs satisfaction, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in PwCs report on the Companys
financial statements for such periods. In addition, no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, occurred during the Companys two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through
September 5, 2012.
The Company has provided PwC with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that PwC furnish it with a
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of PwCs letter, dated September 10, 2012, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors is in discussions with an independent registered public accounting firm to succeed PwC as the Companys independent accountants. The Audit
Committee expects to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm for the Company as soon as practicable.
