Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) On April 5, 2016, Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Ltd. (the “Company”) dismissed Rehmann Robson LLC (“Rehmann”) as the Company’s principal independent accountants, effective as of such date. The dismissal of Rehmann was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Rehmann’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2016 through April 5, 2016, there were no disagreements with Rehmann 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 Rehmann, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report. None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during the period in which Rehmann served as the Company’s principal independent accountants.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3), the Company has provided Rehmann with a copy of this disclosure and has requested that Rehmann furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from Rehmann addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) On April 5, 2016, Hein & Associates (“Hein”) was engaged as the Company’s new principal independent accountants to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The engagement of Hein was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2016 through April 5, 2016, the Company has not consulted with Hein regarding (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 Hein did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
