Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On, and effective as of, January 6, 2026, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of SharonAI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Also on, and effective as of, January 6, 2026, the Committee approved the engagement of HoganTaylor LLP (“HoganTaylor”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year 2025 audit.

 

As previously disclosed, CBIZ CPAs acquired the attest business of Marcum, LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s prior independent registered public accounting firm, effective November 1, 2024. Marcum continued to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm through May 23, 2025. On May 23, 2025, the Company terminated its relationship with Marcum as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm and, with the approval of the Committee, engaged CBIZ CPAs as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The Company provided CBIZ CPAs with a copy of this current report on Form 8-K and requested that CBIZ CPAs furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether CBIZ CPAs agreed with the statements made by the Company set forth above.
