Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On December 20, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Planet Green Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of YCM CPA Inc. (the “Successor Auditor” or “YCM”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022, effective immediately.  In connection with the selection of YCM, the Audit Committee dismissed WWC, P.C. (the “WWC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on December 20, 2022.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through December 20, 2022, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with WWC 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 WWC, would have caused WWC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports.

During the fiscal years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company provided WWC with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that WWC provides the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of WWC’s letter is furnished as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K. 

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through December 20, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted YCM with respect to 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 consolidated financial statements or the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, where either a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that YCM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
