Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

On July 5, 2023, upon the approval of its Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Healthcare AI Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), the Company dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Marcum audited the financial statements of the Company for each of the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. The report of Marcum on such financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and the subsequent interim periods through the date of dismissal, there have been no: (i) “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum 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 Marcum, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements or (ii) “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The Company has provided Marcum a copy of the disclosure made in response to this Item 4.01 and Marcum has confirmed their agreement with the disclosure contained herein.

 

(b) Newly Appointed Independent Registered Public Accountant

 

On July 11, 2023, upon the approval of the Audit Committee, the Company engaged BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, effective immediately.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and the subsequent interim periods through the date of Borgers’ engagement, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Borgers  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 Company's consolidated financial statements and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company by Borgers  that Borgers  concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to such accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
