EXPLANATORY NOTE

Change in the Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

This current report on Form 6-K is submitted in connection with a change of auditor by Prenetics Global Limited (the “Company”) from KPMG to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“Deloitte”).

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed KPMG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on August 20, 2024, and approved the appointment of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 on August 20, 2024, followed by execution of an engagement letter with Deloitte on September 13, 2024.

The decision was solely based on cost considerations.

The Audit Committee conducted a thorough evaluation and determined that the change would optimize the Company’s financial resources. The Company is working closely with Deloitte and KPMG to ensure a seamless transition.

The audit reports of KPMG on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and the subsequent interim period through August 20, 2024, there were no: (1) disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures that, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; or (2) reportable events.

The Company has furnished KPMG with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested KPMG to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the foregoing statements, and if not, stating the statements which it does not agree with. A copy of such letter from KPMG is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 6-K.
