The Company provided Fortune with a copy of the disclosures in the preceding paragraph and requested that Fortune furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with such disclosures. Fortune provided a letter dated July 2, 2024, stating its agreement with such statements, which is included as exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Olayinka is a member of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in the United States and member of Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB) in Canada.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and through the date of the board of directors' decision, the Company did not consult Olayinka concerning 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, or any other matter or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
