Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On December 5, 2023, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of ICC Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) dismisses its current independent registered public accounting firm, Johnson Lambert LLP (“JL”), effective following the completion of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and such other audits as outlined under the Company’s 2023 audit plan. JL’s responsibilities as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will cease upon completion of those audit engagements.
The reports of JL on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2023 through December 5, 2023, there have been no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Regulation S-K”) and the related instructions thereto) with JL 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 JL, would have caused JL to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for such years.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2023 through December 5, 2023, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Company provided JL with a copy of the disclosure it is making herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S‑K and requested that JL furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating whether or not JL agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.01(a) and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of JL’s letter to the SEC dated December 11, 2023 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On December 5, 2023, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Plante Moran, PLLC (“Plante Moran”) to be the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to perform independent audit services for the Company beginning with its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2023 through December 5, 2023, neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted Plante Moran regarding 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 consolidated financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Plante Moran 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 the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
