Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On September 13, 2024, Centogene N.V. (the “Company”) received notice from EY GmbH & Co. KG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (“EY”) of EY’s decision to decline to stand for re-appointment as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

 

EY’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that EY’s report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained a separate paragraph stating that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period beginning January 1, 2024 and ended September 13, 2024, (i) there were no “disagreements” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with EY’s report, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weaknesses identified in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Such material weaknesses were previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The Company provided EY with a copy of this Form 6-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that EY furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether EY agrees with the above statements. A copy of EY’s letter, when received, will be filed as an exhibit to an amendment to this Form 6-K.

 

The Company's Audit Committee intends to select and retain an accounting firm to provide audit services to the Company.
