Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On November 14, 2022, LNP Audit and Assurance International Pty Ltd (“LNP”), the independent registered public accounting firm of Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (the “Company”), informed the Company that LNP will decline to stand for re-appointment after completion of the current audit for the year ending December 31, 2022, which is expected to be completed on or before March 31, 2023.
The financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. LNP was not the independent registered public accounting firm or principal accountant for the Company for the fiscal year 2020.
During the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and through the interim period ended 30 September, 2022, there were no disagreements between the Company and LNP 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 LNP, would have caused LNP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company’s financial statements.
During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and the interim period ended September 30, 2022, LNP did not advise the Company of any reportable events specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K with respect to the Company.
The Company provided LNP with a copy of this report on Form 8-K in accordance with Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that LNP furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from LNP is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company cautions that statements in this report that are not a description of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words referencing future events or circumstances such as “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” and “will,” among others. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company’s current expectations and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties. More detailed information about the risks and uncertainties affecting the Company is contained under the heading “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in other filings that the Company has made and may make with the SEC in the future. One should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they were made. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made, except as may be required by law.
