<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;11, 2016, Collegium Pharmaceutical,&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) dismissed Grant Thornton LLP (&#147;Grant Thornton&#148;) as the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors (the &#147;Audit Committee&#148;).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The reports of Grant Thornton on the Company&#146;s financial statements as of and for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2015 and 2014 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.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During the Company&#146;s fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period through April&nbsp;11, 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 Grant Thornton to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report. Pursuant to the rules&nbsp;of the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) applicable to &#147;emerging growth companies,&#148; Grant Thornton was not required to provide an attestation as to the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting for any period since the Company&#146;s inception. However, during the course of preparing its December&nbsp;31, 2014 financial statements in connection with the Company&#146;s initial public offering, Grant Thornton and the Company&#146;s management team determined that the Company had the following material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font>adequate controls were not in place to appropriately segregate duties in areas such as journal entries, cash disbursements, and the calculation, processing and recording of employee compensation and related accounts;</p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font>the Company&#146;s controls and procedures over the accounting for and reporting of complex accounting matters were not effectively designed due to a failure to design and implement appropriate policies and procedures to ensure that the accounting and valuation of complex debt and equity transactions, income taxes and certain other matters was in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States; and</p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font>the Company&#146;s controls were not effectively implemented in the financial statement close process to ensure that proper cut-off of accrued expenses was achieved at interim periods.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company&#146;s management believes that each material weakness described above was remediated during the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2015. The Audit Committee discussed the subject matter of these material weaknesses with Grant Thornton, and the Company has authorized Grant Thornton to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor independent registered public accounting firm concerning these material weaknesses.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Other than as disclosed above, there were no reportable events (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)&nbsp;of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;)) during the Company&#146;s two most recent fiscal years or during the subsequent interim period through April&nbsp;11, 2016.</font></p>
