| (a) | Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
On May 15, 2024, EnLink Midstream, LLC (the “Company”) was notified by KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) of its decision to resign as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, effective as of such date, due to the fact that KPMG will no longer be considered independent with respect to the Company under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) after the closing of the definitive agreement announced publicly on January 12, 2024, pursuant to which Blackrock, Inc. has agreed to acquire all of the business and assets of Global Infrastructure Partners.
KPMG’s audit reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The audit reports of KPMG on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and through the effective date of KPMG’s resignation, there were no (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between the Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the applicable year, or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided KPMG with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and requested that KPMG furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not KPMG agrees with the disclosures made herein. A copy of KPMG’s letter, dated May 16, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.
| (b) | Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
On May 16, 2024, the Audit Committee engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of May 16, 2024. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and through the effective date of PwC’s engagement, neither the Company, nor anyone on behalf of the Company, consulted with PwC with respect to either (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 no written report or oral advice was provided by PwC to the Company that PwC 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 the subject of either a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
