SHARING ECONOMY INTERNATIONAL INC. 8-K filed 2026

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a) On May 28, 2026, Sharing Economy International Inc. (the “Company”) notified LAO Professionals (“LAO Professionals”) that the Company had dismissed LAO Professionals as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company.  The Board of Directors of the Company recommended and approved the dismissal.

The reports of LAO Professionals regarding the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.  The reports of LAO Professionals, however, stated that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and during the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, the Company had no disagreement with LAO Professionals on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of LAO Professionals, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the Company’s financial statements for such years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.  There were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided LAO Professionals a copy of the above disclosures and requested LAO Professionals to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.  The response of LAO Professionals is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) On May 28, 2026, the Company resolved to engage the independent registered public accounting firm of Privatco CPA Limited (“Privatco”), the Company’s new independent registered public accountants, which appointment Privatco has accepted.

During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the engagement of Privatco, the Company has not consulted with Privatco regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by LAO Professionals or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of disagreement between the Company and its former auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv), or a reportable event as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v), of Regulation S-K. The Company did not have any disagreements with LAO Professionals, and therefore did not discuss any past disagreements with Privatco.
