Changes in Company’s Certifying Accountant.

(1) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

(i) On August 13, 2021, Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, BDO Canada LLP.

(ii) The reports of BDO Canada LLP on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

(iii) The decision to change the independent registered public accounting firm was recommended and approved by the board of directors of the Company.

(iv) During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 and through August 13, 2021, the date of dismissal, (a) there were no disagreements with BDO Canada LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO Canada LLP, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years and (b) there were no “reportable events” that would be required to be described under Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F in connection with the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F, except that, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of August 31, 2020 management identified a material weakness in its internal controls as described in Item 15(b) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended August 31, 2020. This material weakness has not been remediated as of August 13, 2021.

(v) On August 25, 2021, the Company provided BDO Canada LLP with a copy of this Current Report and has requested that it furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K.

(2) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On August 13, 2021, the board of directors of the Company approved the dismissal of BDO Canada LLP and appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit and review the Company’s financial statements. During the two most recent fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 and any subsequent interim periods through the date hereof prior to the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP, neither the Company, nor someone on its behalf, has consulted Ernst & Young LLP regarding:

(i) either: 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 consolidated financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that the new independent registered public accounting firm 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 either the subject of a disagreement as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is our press release of August 24, 2021 entitled “Vision Marine is gearing up to unveil its superlative E-Motion™ Fully Electric Powertrain matched with the iconic Bruce 22 at Lake of the Ozarks Shootout.”

The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
