Sadler had been retained by the Company on May 29, 2024.

From the date Sadler was engaged by the Company through the date of dismissal, there have been no disagreements with the former accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Sadler, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements.
From the date Sadler was engaged by the Company through the date of dismissal, there have been no reportable events, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company has requested Sadler to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statement made above by the Company. A copy of such letter, dated March 3, 2026, is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
