As a result of this process, on March 8, 2016, the Committee approved the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company&#8217;s independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2016 and the dismissal of KPMG LLP (&#8220;KPMG&#8221;) as the Company&#8217;s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of that same date. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The reports of KPMG LLP on the Company&#8217;s financial statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Company&#8217;s two most recent years and the subsequent interim period preceding KPMG&#8217;s dismissal, there were: (i) no &#8220;disagreements&#8221; (within the meaning of Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K) with KPMG 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 KPMG, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company; and (ii) no &#8220;reportable events&#8221; (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company has requested that KPMG provide the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether KPMG agrees with the above statements.

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&#8217;s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Grant Thornton LLP concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a &#8220;disagreement&#8221; or &#8220;reportable event&#8221; (within the meaning of Item 304(a)
