Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On July 17, 2025, the audit committee of the Company approved the engagement of Weaver & Tidwell LLP (“Weaver”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. Weaver served as the independent registered public accounting firm of GrabAGun prior to the merger and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination. Accordingly, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed on July 16, 2025 (“Resignation Date”) that firm following the closing of the Business Combination.
The report of Withum on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from December 30, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such report contained a paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because of the Company’s liquidity condition, date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

During the period from December 30, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through the Resignation Date, there were no disagreements between the Company and Withum 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 Withum, would have caused Withum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report covering such period.
During the period from December 30, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim period through the Resignation Date, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act (“Regulation S-K”).
During the period from December 30, 2024 (inception) through July 17, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with Weaver regarding (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 financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Weaver that Weaver 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 either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S- K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Withum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures prior to the filing of this Report and requested that Withum 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 Withum’s letter, dated July 18, 2025, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
