Prior auditor service began 2021 Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP
Successor audit period Fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 CT International LLP
Successor review period Quarter ending September 30, 2026 Unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
Material weakness identified December 31, 2025 Internal control over financial reporting
substantial doubt financial
"substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern"
material weakness financial
"material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting"
A material weakness is a significant flaw in the systems and checks a company uses to ensure its financial reports are accurate, meaning errors or fraud could happen and not be caught. For investors it matters because it raises the risk that reported results are unreliable—similar to finding a hole in a ship’s hull—potentially leading to corrected financials, regulatory action, reduced trust, and negative effects on stock value and borrowing costs.
segregation of duties financial
"resulted in inadequate segregation of duties"
Segregation of duties is the practice of splitting important financial and operational tasks among different people so no single person can both start, approve, and record the same transaction — like having one person ring up sales and another person deposit the money. For investors, it matters because this simple separation reduces the chance of mistakes or fraud, helps ensure financial reports are trustworthy, and lowers legal and reputation risk that can affect a company’s value.
reportable events regulatory
"there were no “reportable events”"
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.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On September 22, 2026, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sadot Group Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP (“Kreit & Chiu”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, and the Company notified Kreit & Chiu of its dismissal on that date. Kreit & Chiu had served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2021. As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 15, 2026, the Company’s stockholders did not ratify the appointment of Kreit & Chiu as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 10, 2026.

 

The reports of Kreit & Chiu on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 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, except that the report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the existence of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2026 through September 22, 2026, there were no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Kreit & Chiu 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 Kreit & Chiu, would have caused Kreit & Chiu to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2026 through September 22, 2026, there were no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below. As previously disclosed in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and in Part I, Item 4 of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 arising from insufficient staffing and limited financial and accounting resources. This resource constraint resulted in inadequate segregation of duties, insufficient review and oversight of complex accounting matters, and challenges in the timely preparation and review of financial information. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the material weakness has not been fully remediated. The Audit Committee discussed the subject matter of the material weakness with Kreit & Chiu, and the Company has authorized Kreit & Chiu to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor independent registered public accounting firm concerning the subject matter of the material weakness.

The Company provided Kreit & Chiu with a copy of the disclosures made in this Item 4.01 prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Kreit & Chiu furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from Kreit & Chiu, dated September 25, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On September 22, 2026, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of CT International LLP (“CT International”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, and the Company executed an engagement letter with CT International on that date, pursuant to which CT International will audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and review the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2026.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2026 through September 22, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with CT International 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 consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that CT International concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
