INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Change in Independent Registered Accounting Firm
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed January 26, 2021, on January 25, 2021, the audit committee of the Board approved a resolution appointing KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as Hims & Hers’ independent registered public accounting firm to audit Hims & Hers’ consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. KPMG served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Hims prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, WithumSmith + Brown, PC (“Withum”), OAC’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed that it would be replaced by KPMG as Hims & Hers’ independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon completion of its audit of Hims & Hers’ consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, which consist only of the accounts of OAC prior to the Business Combination.
In the Form 8-K, we disclosed that the reports of Withum on OAC’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.

In addition, through May 14, 2021, the date of Withum’s opinion with respect to the balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for the period from April 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 the related notes, there were no disagreements between Hims & Hers and Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on Hims & Hers’ financial statements for such year.
