Explanatory
Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this
"Report") of Weis Markets, Inc. (the "Company") is being filed
to update the Company's previous disclosure contained in a Form
8-K filed on February 7, 2014, regarding the engagement of
Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") as the Company's new independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending
December 27, 2014.
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's
Certifying Accountant.
As previously disclosed, Grant Thornton LLP
("Grant Thornton") served as the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm until Grant Thornton
completed the audits of the Company's consolidated financial
statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 28,
2013, and of the internal control over financial reporting as
of December 28, 2013, and the issuance of Grant Thornton's
reports thereon. On March 14, 2014, Grant Thornton issued such
reports.
Grant Thornton's audit reports on the
Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the
fiscal years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 did
not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion and
were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope
or accounting principles. The audit reports of Grant Thornton
on the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 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 fiscal years ended December 28,
2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, and the subsequent
interim period through March 14, 2014, there were (i) no
disagreements between the Company and 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 disagreement in their reports on the
Company's consolidated financial statements for such years, and
(ii) no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Grant Thornton with a
copy of the disclosures it is making in this Report prior to
the time the Report was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). The Company requested that Grant
Thornton furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether
or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of
Grant Thornton's letter, dated March 14, 2014, is attached
hereto as Exhibit 16.1 .
During the fiscal years ended December 28,
2013 and December 29 2012, respectively, neither the Company
nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with EY on any of
the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation
S-K.
