Change of Auditor

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Danaos Corporation (“Danaos” or the “Company”) has appointed Deloitte Certified Public Accountants, S.A. (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment of Deloitte was made after a careful and thorough evaluation and request for proposal process and has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Previous independent registered public accounting firm

PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. (“PwC”), the Company’s prior independent registered public accounting firm, was dismissed by the Audit Committee on May 11, 2022. The decision to change auditor was not as a result of any disagreement between the Company and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures.

The reports of PwC on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 have contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent period through May 11, 2022, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in its reports on our financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent period through May 11, 2022 there were no reportable events as the term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

We have requested that PwC furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PwC agrees with the statements above related to their firm. A copy of such letter dated May 17, 2022 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

New independent registered public accounting firm

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent period through the engagement of Deloitte as of May 17, 2022, neither we, nor anyone acting on our behalf, consulted with Deloitte regarding (a) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and either a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Deloitte that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F (and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event as set forth in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

***

The Company would like to thank the PwC team for their services over the past years. The Company is working closely with PwC and Deloitte to ensure a seamless transition.
