From March 31, 2025, through September 25, 2026, the company reported no disagreements with CBIZ CPAs or reportable events. It also stated that neither it nor anyone acting on its behalf had consulted MaloneBailey about specified accounting, auditing, or financial-reporting matters during the periods described.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant Governance

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits Exhibits
Financial statements, pro forma financial information, or exhibit attachments filed with this report.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"as its new independent registered public accounting firm"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
reportable events regulatory
"no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304"
Reportable events are significant incidents or changes a company is legally required to disclose to regulators and the public, such as major safety problems, legal actions, financial irregularities, or management changes. They matter to investors because these events can alter a company’s risk profile or future performance, much like a dashboard warning light signals a problem that could affect a car’s safety or reliability. Timely disclosure helps investors make informed decisions and maintain market fairness.
adverse opinion financial
"did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion"
An adverse opinion is an auditor’s formal conclusion that a company’s financial statements contain serious errors or omissions and therefore cannot be relied upon as a true picture of the business. For investors it’s a major red flag—like a mechanic saying a car is unsafe—because it signals heightened risk of fraud, restatements, regulatory trouble or loss of access to capital, any of which can sharply affect share value.

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On September 25, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and approved the engagement of MaloneBailey LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm as of and for the year ended December 31, 2026. As described below, the change in independent registered public accounting firm is not the result of any disagreement with CBIZ CPAs.

 

CBIZ CPAs’ audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2025, Marcum LLP notified the Company on March 21, 2025, of its intention to resign effective upon the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Following the filing of the Form 10-K on March 31, 2025, Marcum LLP’s resignation became effective and CBIZ CPAs was appointed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

From the period starting March 31, 2025 through September 25, 2026, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and CBIZ CPAs on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of CBIZ CPAs, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 and the subsequent interim periods through September 25, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with MaloneBailey regarding: (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’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that MaloneBailey concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions or a reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided CBIZ CPAs with a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that CBIZ CPAs furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of CBIZ CPAs’ letter, dated September 25, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
