On August 7, 2023, Financial Strategies Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received notice that MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) has decided to discontinue its engagement as independent registered public accounting firm with Financial Strategies Acquisition Corp.

During the period from July 1, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the fiscal year ended December 2022 and the subsequent interim period through August 7, 2023, there were no disagreements with MaloneBailey 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 MaloneBailey, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods. Also during this time, there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided MaloneBailey with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that MaloneBailey furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above.
