The Audit Committee invited several firms, including its current independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP to participate in this process. As a result of this process, on August 11, 2022, the Audit Committee of Ennis, Inc. (the "Company"), approved the engagement of BKM Sowan Horan, LLP ("BKM") as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, effective immediately, and dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.   Grant Thornton LLP's audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 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 February 28, 2022, and 2021, and the subsequent interim periods through August 11, 2022, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation SK.   The Company provided Grant Thornton LLP with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Grant Thornton LLP furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein.
