in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of
a disagreement (as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K)
on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures or a “reportable event”
