Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On February 25, 2026, the Board of Directors of Bolt Project Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received formal notice from its independent registered public accounting firm, Elliott Davis, PLLC (“Elliott Davis”), that Elliot Davis had made the decision to resign from its engagement with the Company effective February 27, 2026.
Elliott Davis audited the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes thereto (collectively, the “financial statements”). The report of Elliott Davis did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such audit report contained an explanatory paragraph in which Elliott Davis expressed substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the past two fiscal years and subsequent interim period through the date of resignation, there were no disagreements between the Company and Elliott Davis on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Elliott Davis, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company's financial statements for such period.
During the past two fiscal years and subsequent interim periods through the date of this resignation, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), except for the material weaknesses disclosed under the heading “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures—Evaluation of Controls and Procedures” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025.
The Company has provided Elliott Davis with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Elliott Davis furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Elliott Davis' letter, dated February 27, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
