During the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the subsequent interim period through May 3, 2016, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton 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 Grant Thornton, 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 Grant Thornton served as the Company’s principal independent accountants.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3), the Company has provided Grant Thornton with a copy of this disclosure and has requested that Grant Thornton 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. Upon receipt by the Company, a copy of the letter from Grant Thornton addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will be filed with an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
