Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On September 14, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Gold.com, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, effective as of that date.
The reports of Grant Thornton on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 and the subsequent interim period through September 14, 2026, there have been no disagreements with Grant Thornton 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 Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided Grant Thornton with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and requested that Grant Thornton furnish it with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of Grant Thornton’s letter, dated September 18, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Engagement of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On September 14, 2026, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 and the subsequent interim period through September 14, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted KPMG 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided by KPMG to the Company that KPMG 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 described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Gold.com Announces CFO & Auditor Transitions
Jill Van, EVP & Controller, to succeed Cary Dickson following his planned retirement
KPMG appointed as Auditor
Costa Mesa, CA – September 18, 2026 – Gold.com, Inc. (NYSE: GOLD), (“Gold.com” or the “Company”), a fully integrated alternative assets platform that offers an extensive range of precious metals, numismatic coins, and collectibles to consumers, collectors, and institutional clients worldwide, today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Jill Van as Chief Financial Officer, effective September 18, 2026. She succeeds Cary Dickson, who has informed the Company of his decision to retire on the same date. Mr. Dickson will serve as a Consultant to the Company for the 12 month period immediately following his retirement. The Company also announced that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has approved the appointment of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, succeeding Grant Thornton LLP.
Appointment of Jill Van as Chief Financial Officer
Ms. Van currently serves as Executive Vice President and Controller and will transition to the Chief Financial Officer role on September 18, 2026, succeeding Cary Dickson following his planned retirement. She joined the Company in June 2025 and has more than 25 years of accounting, audit, and financial leadership experience. Ms. Van is a Certified Public Accountant and spent more than two decades in public accounting, including Audit Partner roles at RSM US LLP and Grant Thornton LLP, where she led SEC reporting engagements, audits, and complex transactions across diverse range of clients. She also served as Interim CFO at Hardesty LLC and was CFO at Shew Enterprises.
"With Cary transitioning into retirement, Jill is exactly the right person to step into the CFO role," said Greg Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of Gold.com. "She has already been a driving force behind our finance organization, and her decades of experience give her the technical depth to oversee our financial reporting and controls as a public company. On behalf of the Board and the entire Gold.com team, I also want to thank Cary for his many contributions over more than a decade of service, and we wish him well in his retirement."
"It has been an honor to serve as Gold.com's Chief Financial Officer on two separate occasions over the past 11 years, and to help lead the Company through its significant transformation and global expansion," said Cary Dickson. "I've worked closely with Jill and know firsthand the commitment and judgment she brings to the finance organization. I’m confident she is ideally suited to be Gold.com’s next CFO."
"I am grateful to Cary for his mentorship and to the Board for this opportunity," said Jill Van. "Having spent the past year immersed in our financial reporting and operations as Controller, I am looking forward to building on that foundation of strong financial discipline to support our strategic priorities around growth, capital efficiency and operational excellence.”
Appointment of KPMG LLP as Independent Auditor
As Gold.com’s business continues to evolve on a global scale, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors conducted a review process to determine the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

KPMG succeeds Grant Thornton LLP, whom the Company thanks for its service. Additional information is available in the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
