On December 9, 2024, the Company received a resignation letter from UHY LLP (“Former Auditor”) with an effective date of December 9, 2024 pursuant to which the Former Auditor resigned from its role as independent registered public accounting firm for Spectaire Holdings Inc. (the “Company”).

The Former Auditor did not audit financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and its reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertain accounting principles.
During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2024, there were:
| i. | No “disagreements” (within the meaning of Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K) with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Auditor, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company; and | |
| ii. | No “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). |
The Company has provided the Forner Auditor with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC and requested the Former Auditor to furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the statements made above.
