Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 18, 2022, Sisecam Resources LP (the “Partnership”) notified Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm of its dismissal effective upon the appointment of BDO USA, LLP (the “Effective Date”). The dismissal of Deloitte was approved by the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Sisecam Resource Partners LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, pursuant to the authority of the Audit Committee as specified in its Charter. The reports of Deloitte on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 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 Partnership’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there was no disagreement between the Partnership and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports for such fiscal years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Partnership has provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and has requested that Deloitte furnish the Partnership with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Deloitte agrees with the above statements. A copy of Deloitte’s letter, dated May 18, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Effective on May 18, 2022, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as the Partnership’s new independent registered public accounting firm commencing for its quarter ending June 30, 2022 and its fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, neither the Partnership nor anyone on its behalf consulted with BDO regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Partnership’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Partnership that BDO concluded was an important factor considered by the Partnership in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, (iii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions), or (iv) any “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
