Section 4 - Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements.
Item 4.01 Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On May 29, 2020, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Uranium Energy Corp (the "Company") approved and authorized the termination of Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as its independent registered public accounting firm. On the same date, the Board approved and authorized the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm.
E&Y's report on our financial statements dated October 14, 2019, for the two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, and in the subsequent interim periods through the effective date of termination of E&Y on May 29, 2020, there were no disagreements, resolved or not, with E&Y on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused E&Y to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 and in any subsequent interim periods through the effective date of termination of E&Y on May 29, 2020, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We provided E&Y with a copy of this current report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and requested that E&Y furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether E&Y agrees with the statements made in this current report on Form 8-K, and if not, stating the aspects with which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from E&Y, dated May 29, 2020, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 and any subsequent interim periods through the effective date of appointment of PwC on May 29, 2020, we had not, nor had any person on our behalf, consulted with PwC regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor had PwC provided to us a written report or oral advice regarding such principles or audit opinion on any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K with our former independent registered public accounting firm.
