Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

As previously disclosed, on October 29, 2021, Trident Acquisitions Corp. (“TDAC” and after the Business Combination described herein renamed “Lottery.com Inc.”, the “Company”), consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among TDAC, Trident Merger Sub II Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDAC (“Merger Sub”), and AutoLotto, Inc. (“AutoLotto”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into AutoLotto with AutoLotto surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of TDAC, which was renamed “Lottery.com Inc.” immediately prior to the Closing (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

 

On November 10, 2021, the Audit Committee of the board of directors of the Company approved the engagement of Armanino LLP (“Armanino”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

The reports of Marcum on TDAC’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

 

During TDAC’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and during the subsequent interim period through November 10, 2021, the date of dismissal of Marcum, there were no disagreements between TDAC or the Company and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

 

During TDAC’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and during the subsequent interim period through November 10, 2021, the date of dismissal of Marcum, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) other than the material weakness in internal controls identified by management related to evaluating complex accounting issues relating to the warrants issued in connection with TDAC’s initial public offering, which resulted in the restatement of TDAC’s financial statements as set forth in TDAC’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2021.

 

The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Marcum’s letter dated November 12, 2021 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
