| Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant |
On December 15, 2025, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of KALA BIO, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of December 15, 2025.
The audit reports of Deloitte on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 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 the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim periods through December 15, 2025, (i) there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosures set forth in this Item 4.01 prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Deloitte furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Deloitte’s letter, dated December 16, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Company has not appointed a new independent registered public accounting firm as of the date of this filing.
