EVFM 2018 Proxy Statement

36 INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (Notice Item 3) The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. The Board proposes that the stockholders ratify this appointment. In deciding to appoint Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Audit Committee reviewed auditor independence issues and existing commercial relationships with Deloitte & Touche LLP and concluded that Deloitte & Touche LLP has no commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. Changes in the Company’s Certifying Accountant Ernst & Young LLP audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP effective upon Ernst & Young LLP’s completion of its audit services for the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Audit Committee appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the Company’s financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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. In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and during the subsequent interim period through February 26, 2018 (the effective date of Ernst & Young’s dismissal), there were no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with Ernst & Young LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter in their reports During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the subsequent interim period through January 19, 2018, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte & Touche LLP 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 described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). We expect that representatives of Ernst & Young LLP and Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting, will be able to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
